Londontown Get Together Part 4

[bex]

Roll up roll up.

Next drinking session disguised as a biker meet up will be Thursday 26th September (if there are no major objections), due to Belgium and other fun stuff coming up in the meantime.

Venue TBA, everyone welcome. Beer, food, bad taste jokes and excellent banter guaranteed.

Names on the list as usual.

Looking forward to the centenary bash already! Can't believe we are on the 4th so soon!

[Martin696]

That's on my mother-in-law's birthday, and as much as that makes it the perfect date for me not to be home, it will no doubt be frowned upon by my Mrs so I will wait for #5...

[Pomp1]

What about bodeans (http://www.bodeansbbq.com/ourbranches/branches.asp?location=soho)

[Wildfire]

Bodeans is awesome! But you can't book unles it is a party of 10+ (I think) usually it's about an hour wait otherwise

[J.P]

What about bodeans (http://www.bodeansbbq.com/ourbranches/branches.asp?location=soho)

There's also a Bodean's near Trinity Square, opposite the Tower of London.

[bex]

Yeh Bodeans is good. We've been there a couple of times post tunnel run in Soho. Good call if we get 10, which we should do unless you bunch of bastards all start pulling out. :-)

(And yes, I know thats rich being the one who didn't make the second one I organised)

[Pomp1]

I think is 8 minimum for booking

Just as an idea, we can do this on Thursday 26th if that suits people better? (looking at you Shuffy....)

And in my (limited) experience, Friday hangovers are more bearable than Thursday ones.

I wont be able to make the 25th but Thursday 26th is a doer.

[Pomp1]

There's also a Bodean's near Trinity Square, opposite the Tower of London.

Sounds good..

[Shuffy]

Thursday's are good for me! Less so if you're sitting next to me though...)

[Black Bob]

Do you snore even at the dinner table, then?

p.s. All week is good.

[Shuffy]

Do you snore even at the dinner table, then?

Only when the company is a bit dull....

[Wildfire]

Thursday is a potential no go for me. I have a work that goes on until 19:00 or so in Mayfair. If it's after 19:00 I can make it...

[jonzi]

It will go on after 7pm

[Martin696]

Thursday would score me brownie points with my Mrs but either is doable for me. Friday hangovers are better than Thursday :-)

[gary tompkins]

I can do Thursday as well

[J.P]

How about the Red Dog Saloon in Hoxton Square.
Great BBQ stuff there and loads of bars around as well.
Just to throw the idea out there

[ercasa]

i can do thursday, if no late work surprises

[bex]

Ok, date changed to 26th, cheers all.

[J.P]

OK, I'll have to change my spa appointment now. :)

[slob]

Oh goody... are we going to Spa?

[gary tompkins]

Getting all sorts of errors on the forum tonight, and most pages display this warning for some reason?

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 408
Database error
The UK Monster Owners Club Forum database has encountered a problem.

[Black Bob]

Ah, the old "corrupted thread table" chestnut.

[slob]

Is it still happening Gary? I've just run a repair/optimize on the DB tables

[Thuli]

Is it still happening Gary? I've just run a repair/optimize on the DB tables

It's working now but Max seems to have been relegated to 'Guest'.
Maybe that's the way he likes it.

Uh huh uh huh.

[Funkatronic]

im in, i'll try to be more awake this time :-)

[slob]

Bugger! Anyone else spotted issues?

[Shuffy]

OK, I'll have to change my spa appointment now. :)

Do you have to make an appointment to go to your local corner shop?

[gary tompkins]

I had him down as more of a Lidl's shopper myself.. I hear they have litre bottles of Lambrini on special offer

Is it still happening Gary? I've just run a repair/optimize on the DB tables

The matrix seems ok again now

although i've just seen the same black cat walk past the back door... dejavu?

[Shuffy]

Dejavu? I think you'll find Swanley's premier n(sh)itespot has sadly now closed...

[J.P]

Shuffy, you should be able to join us now it's a Thursday.....

[Shuffy]

Shuffy, you should be able to join us now it's a Thursday.....

Indeed I am! And I'll be running an "Unlucky Draw' to see who sits next to me...

Any more takers or dropper outers? I'll provisionally book something before we head off on tour this weekend or am likely to forget.

Good luck with getting Rob to push start your bike in Spain!

yeah that'll learn ya

[bex]

Surprised this didn't turn you into a carnivore.

[J.P]

I don't know you very well Jonzi, but I know about the Orange.....

[pegboy]

I will try and make it although that weekend is parties and my wedding anniversary, i'm not young anymore and if i drink it talks my days to recover

[J.P]

i'm not young anymore and if i drink it talks my days to recover

Reading that leads me to believe you may have been on the Sake already....

[Liz]

Good luck with getting Rob to push start your bike in Spain!

She's getting herself into trouble on different media's!!!! I won't be pushing it either :running:

[bex]

You all need me for my exceptional Spanish skills. I'm particularly fluent when inebriated.

[slob]

incluso con su borrachera, me acuerdo bien de aquellos que decían ser fluido en español mostrando ninguna señal de ello

[bex]

Damn, thats me rumbled.

Giz a push Rob? :chuckle:

[Thuli]

incluso con su borrachera, me acuerdo bien de aquellos que decían ser fluido en español mostrando ninguna señal de ello

Tomó las palabras de mi boca

[Liz]

¿Donde esta la biblioteca? Bex is going to need it!!

[bex]

You are all very guilty of using online translation software. I know this because I am fluent, or inebriated. One of those.

[Liz]

I'll have you know that I have a qualification in Spanish, I can show you my certificate if you like! :mand:

[Thuli]

I'll have you know that I have a qualification in Spanish, I can show you my certificate if you like! :mand:

And I am fully qualified in inebriation.

[pegboy]

Reading that leads me to believe you may have been on the Sake already....

Ha yeah I think your right.

[Martin696]

Anyone up for meeting a bit before 8 pm? I finish work at 4:30 and can't be seen doing that much overtime or they'll start expecting it to happen more often.

[pompone]

I'm sure they'll be drinks before food...

[gary tompkins]

I'm sure they'll be drinks before food......and during ...and after :D

And I am fully qualified in inebriation.

I'm also fully qualified and have a certificate

Can't remember exactly which training course this was, but it involved a selection of root vegetables, a blindfold and a goat

[slob]

Nearest pub is The Coach And Horses on the corner of Great Marlborough Street & Poland Street.

Anyone going to be around from 530 or so?

[J.P]

hehehehehehe

[J.P]

Did you book a table at Bodean's for that many ?

[pompone]

15. Fabulous.



Who is Fabulous?:rolleyes:

[pegboy]

If I can get out of work at a decent time will pop by for a drink at the coach and horse, unfortunately can not make dinner.

[bex]

Did you book a table at Bodean's for that many ?

I think it was 14 at the time of booking. I warned them it might fluctuate by one or two either way and would confirm on the today or tomorrow. Why, are you getting OCD planning twitches? ;)

[J.P]

Yes.................

[bex]

Table booked for 16, which is apparently the maximum.

So if anyone else wants to come you'll have to rock up and pretend not to know any of us to begin with... :)

[Black Bob]

Table booked for 16, which is apparently the maximum.

Tsk, tsk.

Table booked for 16 which is, apparently, the maximum.

</Grammar Nazi>

[bex]

You may well be right (though I don't think you are), but due to Godwin's Law and your mentioning of the word 'nazi' (thanks Rob), you lose.

[Black Bob]

So not only do you have a poor grasp of basic grammar, but also a misunderstanding of Godwin's Law. ;)

Referring to oneself as a "Grammar Nazi" does not fall foul of Godwin's Law. Certainly no more so than if I'd named my dog "Hitler" and referred to him by name in a discussion on worming treatments.

And I am right.


BTW, I'm not Bob, I'm not Black and I don't own a dog.

So which worm treatment was most effective? I should probably get Goebbels sorted out.

Though you may have been calling me a grammar nazi.

But you are a ****

;)

[slob]

Nope, you're a grammar nasty.

[Black Bob]

I am. It's terrible. I do it everywhere without mercy, pity or remorse.

Must stop.

[Dirty]

Sentences need a subject and a predicate, ie 'I must stop'? :)

[loz]

So if anyone else wants to come you'll have to rock up and pretend not to know any of us to begin with... :)

I've got some work drinks but I'll see if I can join you guys later... can somebody let me know their mobile in case I need to find you? :D

[bex]

Done.

ETA 6:30, see you all there.

[gary tompkins]

Guys - i am still in the office and it's looking like a late one.. Gutted but won't be able to make it. Sorry for the last minute notice, these are the wonders of being in banking. :Furious:

Will buzz Rob if i get out at a decent time & you're still out, my office is round the corner after all.

Hopefully a tunnel run will happen before the winter is upon us?

[gary tompkins]

Thanks for organising another great evening Bex

Gutted to discover that I don't smell as nice as JP :(

Looking forward to the next one

[steeevvvooo]

Good to see everyone again. Thanks for making Eugene feel welcome as well. Great night had by all. Looking forward to the next one already.

[Black Bob]

Humungus thanks to Bex for organising a great night, and thanks to everyone for turning up and being brilliant company.

Sorry to bale early - living in the sticks sucks sometimes... as does being a bit poorly like - I'd have probably just pushed through til morning otherwise... waste of time going home just tom come back in, etc. :D

[J.P]

Slob, Funkatronic, Bex & J.P went on drinking.

I've had 3 hours sleep and was back at my desk at 6.30 am..... :(

Top night, again.

My head hurts like a mother****er.

That'll be the Pickle Back.

[Funkatronic]

big thanks to bex for getting us all together again,

Ouch JP. 6.30!! u weren't kidding

[pegboy]
