So, Who's coming tonight then??

[TillieTrotter]

Looking forward to tonight. Hope there will be some new faces coming along as well as the regulars!!

[Ant]

Seconded! It's always great fun meeting people who've come along for the first time. (Of course, it's also good to see everyone else.)

[lozzyloz]

TBH I'm not sure. it sounds a bit scary for a relative nebie. I can only handle 3 pints!

[TillieTrotter]

Oh come on Lozzyloz, we were all newbies once. Just have 3 pints then:)-D

[Ant]

There will be pizzas to help mop up some of the booze. And we're a very friendly bunch. Come along.

[lozzyloz]

Is there a newbie corner?

[*Bob*]

I think you have to stand on a stool and allow the others to pelt you with eggs for ten minutes. Then, once the boot polish is on your goolies, you're IN.

[Ant]

Well, assuming the prospective entrant can keep The Entry Drink down, that is.

*shudders*

[lozzyloz]

What about the handshake? Do we get to learn that on the first nite?

[Brendan]

Me and Mrs shall be there. With visiting friend from Manchester in tow. Poor thing thinks we?re taking her out for a night on the town in London.

[Keef]

I'm meeting Fear n' Boozin and Bagpuss, so we'll all be there (assuming that we make it out of the CPT of course...). Seriously I'm really looking forward to it.

[Annasfield]

Won't be able to make it tonight as I'm away for the weekend. And I was almost feeling brave enough too....:-$

[RosieH]

If newbie doesn't have goolies does she have to take additional minutes of egg pelting?

I was planning on coming along this evening and am concerned now that I don't have the requisite cojones for boot-blacking.

[*Bob*]

As far as I'm aware, if you're not in possession of any family jewels yourself, they just do Keef's again.

[Keef]

Anna you're rubbish! ;-)

[Keef]

Bob, when you say "do keef's again" what exactly do you mean?

[Annasfield]

I know! Useless girl....

BTW - I have answered your table football question in the other thread

[mockney piers]

I know it may come as a shock, but I and mrs mockers will be there too.

Looking forward to it.

Just thinking of music to bring along, Joy Division, Pavement, Supertramp, Tortoise, the Wedding Present, Abba ;-)

[Floating Onion]

I'll be there. My mother is in town so she's being dragged along as well.

Isn't this the 'forum rule'?

Quote:

Let it be known that knackers shall be blackened upon presentation of a newbie to the established group.

Should the newbie not be in possession of said plums, Keef shall stand in their stead.

[Charlotte]

sound s like a laugh, is it invitation only?

[Keef]

Open house Charlotte!

[Charlotte]

great where is it?

[Keef]

At the Magdalla (Big Yellow pub corner of Lordship Lane and Pellat Road) in an upstairs bar.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Would be rude not to come along surely - I'll be there with Lady MacGabhann not long after depending on her flight back from Ireland...

Any newbies shouldn't worry - have a look at some of the photo threads from previous drink ups and you'll see who many of us are and what we look like - I'm sure I will be wearing some variant of black, black, black with a silver-haired top (for a change) should anyone wish to meet/avoid me
