Title: Xmas SmokeCon
Post by: Byron Virgo on 09 December, 2005, 12:43:37 AM
Seeing as how our own Bou, Queen of the Board, is making the pilgrimage down to Old Grimy (or London for the less informed of you), it seemed prurient for me to start this thread as yet another excuse for Big City drinkage.

So who's up for raising a glass to Bou during this Christmas/New Year period, and when's the best time to do so? I'm assuming that the venue stays as The Horse & Groom...?

I'm up for a booze, depending when it is... before 23rd or from 29th onwards suits me.

You're not dead, Dudley, although some might say that moving to Scotland is a fate worse...


(not me though, I'm open minded & the like)

"although some might say that moving to Scotland is a fate worse... "

...than boarding the London underground when you're a Brazilian electrician?

hurrah !

although one problem, it needs to be a pub where a 16 year old...Nay ! she'll be 17 then ( pass as 21 ), and a 12 year old can go ( pass as 15 ?).   as the whole team-Bou will be in tow.

sadly i havent managed to escape village of the damned for Christmas too, but i shall be chiselling gold paving off the streets of civilization from 30th to 4th.

16 year olds are allowed in pubs anywhere here, so as long as your little one trys and look 16 you'll be ok :)

I second Bou's 30th date.

Anyone else?
Title: Re: Xmas SmokeCon
Post by: petemaskreplica on 10 December, 2005, 08:44:20 PM
yeah, 30th's good for me.
Title: Re: Xmas SmokeCon
Post by: Queen Firey-Bou on 10 December, 2005, 08:52:17 PM
The 30th aint great , as we shall be leaving the house before 5.30am, & arriving in london that evening at 20.15pm, somewhat knackered after that very long coach journey, add the time to find bearings hotel & dump gear ( or not )...

the 2nd or 3rd would probably be better for us ?

Post by: Max Kon on 10 December, 2005, 09:29:53 PM
I'm going to bristol on the 3rd, so the 2nd would mean i can turn up
Title: Re: Xmas SmokeCon
Post by: Roger Godpleton on 13 December, 2005, 05:52:12 PM
2nd sounds good to me.
Anyone else?
Title: Re: Xmas SmokeCon
Post by: Byron Virgo on 13 December, 2005, 09:38:49 PM
2nd sounds like the likely option, doesn't it? Even if Max is going to be there...that said, I can actually do the third now as well, so I'm easy either way.
