[LostThePlot]

OK, pub is fine, but the date isn't....AM working the next day and need to be in Bognor Regis for 6:30, so will dip out.....damn and blast.

[georgia]

Let's do the George Canning on the 12th then as this seems ok with most so far.

[Brendan]

"Bognor Regis" lol!

That's a funny name. Did you just make it up.

[Michael Palaeologus]

But, Mr ThePlot - you dont need to stay all evening! You could just pop in for a jar or two and toddle off early >:D

Reputedly King George V's last words were "bugger Bognor"

[citizenED]

No Brendan, it is the quintessential funny English town name - used to much hilarity.

[Jah Lush]

I'm looking forward to going to the George Canning as I haven't been up there for a few years, my only gripe is about the date, as it's 3 days before payday. Grrr! (6)

[Michael Palaeologus]

To be fare we did have the payday discussion yonks ago and it seemed that everybody in ED got paid on a different day.

[citizenED]

Jah, do what some did with the party - pay in now before you spend all this months wodge, and then reap the rewards at the next meet on the 12th.

I remember the discussion well MP, this particular forum jolly-up just falls a little later than usual but I'll be okay and look forward to it.

And there are others - Lower Piddle and Upper Piddle, or a personal favourite (it was the village next door when I was a boy) - Ugley, so we had the Ugley Women's Istitute, Ugley Boy Scouts, Ugley Church etc etc.

This is almost worth a thread of its own - strange place names

[Floating Onion]

Excellent! I'm in Atlanta on a hockey tour for the 5th. :)-D If I survive I'll be along on the 12th.

[spadetownboy]

12ths no good for me, the 19th now that would be perfect.

[hyounan]

Im afraid I wont be able to attend either- doh!

...have good time anyway and will try my best to go to the next forum drinks!

Hxx

[georgia]

Just moving this up....

[SeanMacGabhann]

Less than a week to go so lets keep this near the top of the list. . . I have noticed a few people dont even know its on

so who is coming this time? Special invitation to people who havent been before. .

[lozzyloz]

Unfortunately I'm away and really wanted to go as I missed the last drinks and it looked like fun. Will try and make the next one (as long as its not first 2 weeks of Dec). Good choice of venue.

[citizenED]

Sean, I'm defo coming. loving all this outreach work we do in adjoining areas!

[mockney piers]

I should be able to pop my head throught the doors.

The George is Mrs Mockers' and my traditional meeting point on the way back from work/ireland anyhoo.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I will be there.

[Keef]

I'm hoping to be there for a bit...

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I'm gona try make it, and will make sure ex-bf doesn't track me down this time!

[Jah Lush]

Well, if he logs on or lurks around this Forum you'll probably be out of luck CWALD. Gonna try and make it for a while myself but am rather skint at the moment so we'll see.
