Open to Everyone reading this - EDF Drinks at the Phoenix (v1.0 georgia years)

It's an uncanny resemblance (obviously without the being dead part of it).

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oddly and truthfully, as I type this I am trapped in the lingerie section of a dept store

[Pickle]

I'm planning to pop in on my way home for a couple - long time forumista, never attended the "proper" drinks. Be nice.

Looks like it's going to be a good turn out.

Pickle, great, you're on my list of forumites I'd like to meet.*

*in my head that sounded more friendly and welcoming and much less stalker-ey.

[Pickle]

Oooooh, my very own stalker, fabulous! ;-)

[Keef]

Anna, Pickle very kindly gave me a TV once, so I know where she lives. I'll share this info for a price! >:D

[Michael Palaeologus]

6.30 it is ....

[Weegee]

The Phoenix is a lovely pub.. We have had many fun Sunday afternoons there.

Is this the last ever EDF drinks then? I will try and make it down for next Friday, whether its the last gathering or not.

[Wilhelm]

As is my wont, I'm planning to make these last drinks my first. Please be nice to a noob.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Always nice to noobs Wilhelm

Should be noted that these are not necessarily the last last drinks - just the last ones to mark the end of the original organising commitee's reign (georgia and mike p)

Hopefully someone else will run with it in future

I've been in touch with the Phoenix again and I need to confirm to them about a reasonable amount coming early - I know many people have alread said they can, or given apologies if they can't come that early but as we are now close enough for people to be able to say definitely, can I have a fresh show of hands for those definitely coming at 6:30 - if I don't get 15 that early I'll have to nix the reserved space upstairs and we'll have to make do amongst the general populace. So - if you can't do that early, no need to repeat, just an "aye" if you can make 6:30 please

[annaj]

Aye.

[Ladygooner]

Aye!

[annaj]

Only 12 to go then......

Come on people.

[RosieH]

Sorry, going to be 7.30 earliest for me.

[hibbs]

Sorry it looks like 7 to 7:30 for me too.

[Bespoke]

Will try for the 6.30 mark.

Tillie Trotter

[bob]

Bob S

[SeanMacGabhann]

yay Tillie bespoke!

bob - that's a given

now - back to the simple "yea" s please (a la annaj and Ladygooner - I thank you ;-) )

[Brendan]

Can't babysitting. Robots.

[Pickle]

Will do my best, but might be closer to 7pm for me

[georgia]

Can be there at 6.30

[Geo]

I shall defo come along, not been in absolute ages.... I'll aim to get there at 6:30 if i can get away from work early! hmmmm

Georgia i didn't even know you had handed in you notice on planning drinks!!! Sean are you now the organiser??

:))

[SeanMacGabhann]

Hell no! Just thought Georgia deserved a send off

But will be good to see you tomorrow too

[Wilhelm]

I can make 6.30 as well. Should I attempt to fashion one of those 'silhouettes on a stick' contraptions to convince barstaff that I am in fact a group of five?
