Does anyone fancy a drink at the Pied Bull (Farningham) sometime this week to celebrate the arrival of my first born? I'm fairly free all this week (apart from tonight) so I'll go with any night that suits the majority really. So any takers? :drunk:

CANCELLED!!! Sorry guys I've had a bad stomach bug all day today so I might have to postpone tonight. Is next Thursday any good??

Excellent! Shall we say Thursday at 8.00/8.30pm(ish!) at the pub, is that OK for everyone? Gary a lift would be great, but if you fancy a drink maybe we could get a cab between us and pick Alan up as well.

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes, it's really kind if you. The little fella is great, but he does generate a huge amount of washing for someone so small, so I may well be investing in a few Ducati related baby clothes to keep up with demand. Hopefully I'll continue the 'celebration' at the weekender and I'll catch up with everyone there for a drink or two (providing I get some sleep first!).

Alan I'll pick you up on Thursday first - is 7.45 ok? Then hope to pick up Gully at 8pm, before heading down to collect Chris & onto pub. Don't know if Gully can get in from work in time, so it may just be the three of us.

Having fully recovered from the Celebrity Dysentery Diet (I must be a whole stone lighter shurely??), does anyone fancy popping out to the Pied Bull tomorrow night for last weeks postponed drink?

Chris, You're not going to beleive this - I can't do Thursday night now :banghead:

Got an errand to run at short notice for a workmate at 5pm tomorrow. Won't be back in time to make pub, and taxi for everyone as planned. If you guys still want to meet minus me then feel free, otherwise it'll have to be next week for me I'm afraid.

Sorry to be a PITA

Well I did and I did last week too. Maybe next week I did too. Once again though I will have to ditch my daughter.

As my inlaws are over from Ireland this week, I now can't do Thursday (Sorry, this is worse than me trying to organize the grass track last year!). Don't suppose anyone fancies this Friday instead??

OK guys, third time lucky tonight!!

I'll be at Pied Bull in Farningham for about 8.30 if anybody would like to join me for a drink or two to celebrate Juniors arrival (mind you, any more cancelations and it would been his 21st we'd have been celebrating!).

Hopefully see you there. :drunk:

Guiness + Tia Maria... I ask you how :gay: is that? I just stuck to the (manly) diet cokes :rolleyes:
Good banter last night just a pity a few more couldn't make it. The Pied Bull was unusually empty for a Friday. Convinced I saw tumbleweed rolling through the bar at one point. Best wishes to baby James, Jude and your good self Chris

Albie will meet us there, see you later:booze:

Where was he hiding?

10/10 for camoflage ninja skills there mate - were you the ornamental hatstand in the corner?

Thanks guys, great company as ever and big thanks to Gary for staying sober and driving us home.

A splendid night all round, although I did wake up to find someone had fitted a balaclava inside my skull this morning. In case Guinness and Tia Maria wasn't quite to your taste try some of these tasty options:
