Londontown Get Together Part 3

[bex]

So, don't really need an excuse other than we're a nice sociable bunch who like to get drunk together, so I shan't bother inventing any other reason. :ukm:

Last one was 17th July for a Brick Lane Curry, sorry to have missed it.

Might be a bit late in the day to suggest a monthly date since we're already half way to the next one, but I'll put Wednesday the 14th August out there anyway and we can to and fro on the date.

Any takers for another curry/pizza/whatever night put your names down. I'll even try and make it this time.

All welcome.

I wish! on brit hols calendar so nowhere near italians/frenchies, but after 2 years I finally manage to wrestle 2 weeks in a row in the motherland away. ;) Just four days to go, not excited at all.. :bunny:

About italians and slightly off topic - Rob i promised good pizza places and there you go (those are the 3 i end up more often, there are so many good ones in london)

1 - Santore, exmouth market - napoli style pizza
2 - santa lucia, hollywood road - mostly pizza al metro which is v. good
3 - rossopomodoro, several around town - the pizza is v. good, the rest ok

[Pomp1]

Best pizza in town still Franco Manca, Brixton
Only problem is the lack of parking and seating..
Santa Lucia gets my vote too..

[Wildfire]

Whilst not remotely near, I rate Santa Maria in Ealing very highly.

I note there is a wine gallery opposite which should keep J.P happy

But are there any pubs or bars nearby for drinks before and after meal?

JP can you kindly book Santore / Soho Joe / The Yard with your top table wotsit if they're on it etc?

Any preferences? Soho Joe looked good and casual to me, but whatevs?

[J.P]

Bex, none of the restaurants are on the Tastecard for discount. so seeing as you started this event, you can pick where we go and make the booking. :) :)

[bex]

Did I get confused between top table and tastecard?

Booking is easy, choosing is hard... any preferences folks? :)

[J.P]

You need to be stronger. This is not a democracy, just pick one that suits. :)

Beer, tick, Pizza, tick. Job's a good'un. Doesn't really matter where. ;)

[bex]

Ok to save faff I've booked Soho Joe for 8:30pm on Wednesday 14th.

They have requested that we all arrive on time and together as they are usually very busy.

Lets start drinking nearby beforehand in a bid to do just that. Thanks all.

[slob]

Stop invoking Godwin's Law and make a decision Bex

[bex]

Tis done, good pubs nearby?

[Black Bob]

Democracy is an illusion anyway.
Like 4 chickens and a fox voting on what to have for dinner.

[slob]

TheToucan bar just round the corner on Carlisle Street

[gary tompkins]

Oh no... another choice to make... the drama!

*edit*

Drama avoided by a quick from Slob

P.S. can I have a stuffed crust?

[slob]

I don't think Crust is coming

(sorry GT, I didn't want to be accused of planning to invade Poland or something)

[Wildfire]

Quite a few good pubs around. Sun and 13 Cantons was ok last time I went in (this was around 5 years ago mind). I think there are a few off Wardour Street and one near Bateman St. But I can't remember for the life of me what it's called.

Someone just pick one as I'll probably be late anyway.

[Funkatronic]

[slob]

Well I'll be at The Toucan checking out the Guinness anytime from 1805hrs...

You'll have to ask Bex

Tread carefully she's just bought a new punchbag

[bex]

No worries Ali :)

From 6:05 for booze, ill make it by 7 all being well. 8:30 for grindage

[Martin696]

Ok, I'll be the drunken mess in the corner then... Finish work at 4:30 :-)

[Funkatronic]

grindage!!?
thought we were going for pizza not a jamaican dancehall

still could be fun ;-)

[Saint aka ML]

I don't think Crust is coming

(sorry GT, I didn't want to be accused of planning to invade Poland or something)

Sadly I have to cancel so invade away at will ;).

Sorry Bex, I had to much to do before my trip

I'm now trying to guess what your first favourite hand excercise was..

and wondering if it's the same as mine? ;)

[bex]

Before you manage to lower the tone any further, or perhaps I did that in my mind, its slipping the clutch and making a helluvalotta Ducati noise in tunnels.

[gary tompkins]

Ahh.. not the same as mine then

[Shuffy]

Ahh.. not the same as mine then

I always wondered why one of your gloves was bigger than the other...

[J.P]

Keeps his extra finger in it.

[bex]

So thats what he meant when he said he wanted to show me his special digit.

[loz]

As far as I know, this is the plan (correct me if I'm wrong):

6pm - The Toucan, 19 Carlisle Street, W1D 3BY
8:30pm - Soho Joe, 22-25 Dean St, W1D 3RY

So, is everybody going to ride there or are some of you going by public transport?

See you all later!

[bex]

Mostly public transport I believe Loz, see you later.

[Pomp1]

*hic*..........

[gary tompkins]

Mostly public transport I believe Loz, see you later.

Yes unfortunately my hovercraft was in for servicing

[bex]

Great night everyone. I'd post some pics, but I can't.

Part 4 TBA.

[gary tompkins]

Lame excuse just because you are hungover.. tut..tut

[jonzi]

Some one punch Bex in the eye for the last pic?

[bex]

Yeh what the heck is that?

Without Max's glass you'd never guess this was a post-shot photo ;-)

[J.P]

Yeh what the heck is that?

That's my photo and it would appear that the blob on Bex's face is a spec on my iphone camera lens, but as much as I've tried to clean the lens I think it's on the inside of the glass not the outside. :( So all my pictures now have it.

[bex]

So you gave me a black eye, brutal.
