Next Forum Drinks - Friday 12th October at the George Canning

[citizenED]

Rolled home happy after drinks last night...was woken up by my little boy at 5.30 this morning - joys of fatherhood!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Met Mr Onion and Miss Cat down at the CPT this evening for a splendid evening of rugby and chat. Hugely enjoyable.

Roll on Boothby.

[Keef]

I still hurt.

Mockey's just winding you up! T-Shirt story, what a load of baloney. ....

Or no, I can;t think of anything cunning to throw you off the scent. Yes I have a "Lost The Plot" t-short, but embarrasingly I could not find it......

All,

When my alarm went off at 5am I was seriously regretting having had more than my supposed two pints. Felt crap all day, and even crapper this morning having watched the rugby in a dive of a pub in Chichester, then rolling into my tent. I think I'm going to have abath now and go to bed.....or maybe watch tonights match in Hoopers....Who knows!

Anyway, to everyone I met, a big thanks for making me feel so welcome. Dicussions included Camera Porn, Golf Porn and Halo 3 Porn.....YOu know who you are so thanks! I look forward to recognising faces on the street now, looking forward to the next one, and will refuse any work for the day after!

You make a very good point about work the next day. With the BEST. WILL. IN. THE. WORLD. it isn't really possible to function post forum drinks. Or worse, a chance encounter outside, say, the Drum or EDT.

This could be viewed as a good sign of the quality of company. As long as employers continue to indulge us...

In a parallel universe I hear told that Keef is still suffering from Friday night. Me too...And I am venturing out once AGAIN tonight (Boothby Graffoe at the East Dulwich Comedy Club if anyone is interested) so I am not learning any lessons. Having a ball tho'

[Jah Lush]

Ouch! Yes and ouch again. Another excellent evening. Got in at 4.30am and then did it all again last night. So ouch!....Oh! might as well carry on, am stuffing my face and drinking a vat of some very nice St Emillion, rugby soon. Come On you Pumas, sorry Brandon. Slurp slurp.

[Brendan]

Brandon? Who is this Brandon?

Pumas? Pumas? Well I suppose you'll be wanting a soft final.

Just spoke to my neighbour. Apparently I was singing at the top of m voice when I came up the garden path early yesterday morning. I must have had a good night.

[Annasfield]

Have been asleep all afternoon in an attempt to recover from my 3 hours kip on Thursday night/fri morning, the 5 hours I had on fri night/sat am, and to top it all off I managed to get to bed at 3.30 this morning.

I don't think that living in ED is doing me any good....... :-S

[SeanMacGabhann]

maybe Anna, maybe.. but you're looking good on it

Can we surmise then, from everyones' reports, that coming to these drinks, even as a first timer is fun? And A Good Thing? Can we have more please?

Drinks, or first timers.....?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I think the obvious answer to that is.. both.

I have to report that despite Friday night, a similar performance on Saturdat AND doing the same tonight I feel ok...... It will all kick in when I arrive at my desk tomorrow I'm sure

[downsouth]

Hi, it was really good/interesting to meet some of you on Friday. I didn't get enough time to talk to even half of those there - it was only as I was leaving that I saw that the action had moved outside. Despite my short cameo appearance i still had a good time. I will be sure to stay longer next time - although from the comments above I'm just glad that my head wasn't thumping in the morning.

[Annasfield]

Thanks Sean :-$

The drinks are definitely good fun and great way to meet new people. I don't think my liver could handle it too often though ;-)

[Michael Palaeologus]

Anna - simply buy a spare liver. Works wonders. Simply change them over the morning after the night before and hang the spare one up to dry out for use the next morning.

[georgia]

I don't remember leaving or getting home...:-$

Must remember to eat before these events. Sorry if I talked a load of crap all evening (nothing new there mind you)

It was a good night - what I remember of it anyway....Great to meet some new people and good to see all the regulars again.

[Asset]

How was Boothby Graffo Sean? I have to say whenever I heard his show on the R4 comedy slot I thought he was awful. Maybe he's better live but the radio show was cringingly bad.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Hi Asset - A few people there last night were there on the strength of the Radio 4 show - but I've not heard it so can't comment.

I know that when I saw him present some shows back in the 90s I didn't like him at all and was dissapointed to see him on a bill when I went out to a comedy club some years later - however, that's when I "got" him

I've seen him live several times and he can be dreadfully sloppy but he was great last night. Slightly odd crowd - he got a massive ovation when he finished and got an encore but everyone seemed happier to smile rather than laugh during the show itself. A few other forumites were there too, so it was good to see them too

Good to have the club open again - even if it feels a tad boxfresh. Ron and Emma have put a ton of work into it so I'll be going back for more (reminder - Stewart Lee is on later this month - genius. Shame I can't make it)

[Keef]

My God that was quite the weekend. Haven't actually made it to work today... Bad Keef!

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's not just me feeling that way then Keef? Good man, keep up the good work

[mockney piers]

Took it easy yesterday, so juuust about managed to recover from the excesses of friday and saturday.

Quiet weekend next one I think ..... Doh!!!!

[Brendan]

You are all a bunch of lightweights. I?m shtill in the Canning.

=================================================================

Hmm, this might have worked except the original came out waving a white flag last night

[citizenED]

Nice, Brendan, but being unconscious doesn't really count.

I took it easy yesterday too, but the lack of sleep, Mrs Keef's cold (cheers luv), and 2 evil hangovers have basically beaten me. Must think about getting dressed and buying some food in a minute...

Oh, and next weekend will be anything but quiet, you know it makes sense! And the Swan was your suggestion! ;-)
