Right! Let's go for a bevvy!
For any newbies, here's how this works.
We all spend ages talking about a date, then a venue. Then loads of folk call off and me, Buttonman, Tips, the Satanist and Cosh get pissed.
Meanwhile, Burdis slags us Jocks off as being unable to organise a piss up despite:
(a) Photographic evidence to the contrary; and
(b) The event repeatedly taking place; and
(c) No one ever organising a beer that he is invited to.
So how's about:
5 October (next Saturday!)
2 November
9 November
They're Saturdays. I could do a Friday but it means getting up at 7 with my boys as the wife works a Sat.
After drinking 20 days straight I am currently aff it. I will of course take a drink once the date has been agreed, changed and then changed again. Happy 2014 will be the cry! I know Cosh is in Switzerland so we will need a venue that accepts Nazi gold should he make it.

And so it begins...
Fantastic, I shall join and, if I may, further complicate matters.
Jim Alexander has a launch event for his Goodcopbadcop comic at Plan B comics on Friday 4th October.
I am game for all of those dates. In order of preference: 9/11 then 2/11 then 5/10.
The big question is, of course this: Who can offer me a sofa to sleep on?
or a bench.

press your voting buttons now!
we need CF in here insulting our nationhood ability to get pished in a pub
2nd November good for me.
I can offer you an actual bed, Richmond, if you want but it means heading for the 2303 train and being woken by 3 cats, some 18 miles from Glasgow.
What an absolute fiasco!
I bet your Scottish forefathers are turning in their graves. William Wallace, where are you now, when this band of 'so called' drinkers are stuck on picking a date to get drunk on. The shame this is bringing down upon a once great nation, of happy drinkers.
Those days of working hard and just saying, "see you in the pub" are gone, as this generation of useless date pickers is rapidly destroying the world renowned drinking name, that the Scots have built up over generations.
I think it would be best if this whole thread was locked and deleted before a once proud nation hears about it.

Yup, there's the Burdis bite. Green was ever his colour.
Rich, you're welcome to stay in sunny Cumbernauld. However, beware that it's a blow up bed and there is a squad of young Earthlets who will let you sleep until... oh, 8am.

I can offer you an actual park bench, Richmond, if you want but it means heading for the 2303 train and being woken by 3 cats, some 18 miles from Glasgow.
FTFY,
When did they start letting cats on the 2303 train? and why will they wake him 18 miles from Glasgow?
Thanks CF knew I could depend on you ;)

2nd of Nov is good for me, teatime or later as all day shenanigans are lethal.

6.30 RV?
Any preferred boozer?
Oi - that's my neck of the woods... Room for one more on top ? [Nov 2 6:30 fine]
No venues mentioned yet, the [Cavernous] Counting House usually does the job I find...
I've got a pass from 3.00pm. My preference is an early to start, early to bed.
And what of the Auctioneers? It does cheap'n'tasty food. And cheap'n'tasty beer.
But I don't care either way about time or venue.
The big questions are will Fungus show up and if so will he become a regular or pretend to go to the bog never to be seen again?
Place ya bets!
Oh and have I suggested Variety bar yet?
So long as he stands a round.
EDIT: Does someone have previous for "taking a trip to Belize"?
Ears burning here! Oh my hat's on fire.
I stay still I'm ready for Greggs or the Caspian!
I should be OK on this but with the caveat that I may cry off with a feeble excuse nearer the time.
I'd prefer the likes of Variety to a Wetherspoons.
We could start in the CCA - that does good nosh and move on to Variety.
Also, I met some nice people at Jim Alexander's launch for his lovely new comic Savant the other night - I might invite some of them along if I may.
The Variety quailty vs Cheap and Cheerful? :-\
Well, owing to an already booked flight and a postponed silver wedding, I am now officially in the market for this. Assuming it's still on.
Of course it is, we just don't feel the need to validate it by posting until the day before.
Do we have a time and place yet?
2nd November and Glasgow, I believe.
Oh, you want precise as well as accurate...
ach, got a family thang that night, so I'm the first call off :(
I'm struggling for this as well. I'd forgotten that Mrs Tips was away that day so I'm on child-minding duties.
Best rule me out but I'll keep an eye on the plans and see if I can sneak out for a couple at some point.
FFS!
It's Tradition!
ooooooh is this still on???? A week on sat yes???
I don't have money for millions of rounds but I'd love to meet up with you all. You can stay on my sofa if you need richmond i share wi a mate and we have a big sofa and live near town
Also you guys know that mcshanes piss up is first thurs of the month wi jim alexander et al so why don't you just do that since these scots organising skills aint up tae much :P x
So Rich has a choice between the park bench or Judo's? :D
So whats happening then? I still have a pass and fully intend to use it.
Well, still up for this, after weekend stuff changed yet again (on -> off -> on).
Variety @ 6pm-ish fine by me if that's the consensus.
Was tempted to bet against myself appearing, but I'll leave that naughtiness to those snooker players I've been hearing about. Shameful, so it is.
I too have a pass. I've never bin to the variety. I fear change but if that's the consensus.
6?
Sadly can't make that.
I will be up in town between 1ish and 3 so if anybody is about then, I'm happy to join them for a quick one.
<INNUENDO-ON>Or even a drink.<INNUENDO-OFF>
So, me Satanist and Fungus? Any stragglers?

I'm around and should make it for a few but have to meet my mum at some point! Actually, my mum probably knows more about 2000AD than a couple of people on the boards and she likes the Variety so maybe I'll just bring her along.
there's a comic mart near variety next to the church on bath street right now. I'm gonna pop along to that shortly and sell some paper ads if anyones missing any pm me. If I make enough for a cider in toon at 6 ill come see you guys at variety. If richs hotel pulls out then text me and no worries for crashing at mine x
headin to pub now so be at Variety bout 6.
Judo I'll shout ye a pint if yer about :)
Me too - few mins after 6 maybe...
what happened next! :o
I ate his liver with some chips n cheese and a nice pint of tennents
I considered paying £500 for Zenith but had an attack of sanity/morality and decided against. :-X
Sounds like everyone had a great time :lol:
We met Cosh's mum.
And his surreal friend who was making notes in a pocket notebook about how he planned to kill the Satanist.
Both these statements are true.
Sounds grand - sorry I missed it.
