Friday 9 - November EDF drink at The Forest Hill Tavern

[georgia]

Surely curry better after the drinks as 7 is quite early when people have to get back from work etc.

Will be there for the drinks but may have to give curry a miss if before

[SeanMacGabhann]

I dont understand, georgia

i have yet to see a curry house open after any drinks . . . :)-D

[georgia]

True - forget the curry let's just have the drinks :)-D

[Michael Palaeologus]

So, some can have curry before, some after.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I turned tea-total

[Michael Palaeologus]

I have had a PM from the lovely people at the FHT, they have generously offered to lay on some nibbles.

A big EDT cheer and Thank You to the FHT!!

[Michael Palaeologus]

I am going to book a table for 6 at Omrith for 7pm.

[SeanMacGabhann]

cheers Mike - otherwise I would be all 6s and 7s

[Michael Palaeologus]

East Dulwich comedy!

[Ladygooner]

Thanks Mike - I'll be there at 7

[Michael Palaeologus]

However, so far they havent been answering their phone!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Indian restaurants tend not to be open/staffed before 5 or 6pm so I'm not THAT surprised....

[Brendan]

Hey all! I?ve been stricken with the flu for the last 3 days and thinking that I shouldn?t go out and get all silly bugger drunk, like at the last forum drinks. (which were a blast by the way!)

Although I have been indoors pretty much all the time for the last 3 days and cabin fever is starting to set in so a little stroll down to the FHT may be therapeutic.

And perhaps just a small, medicinal beer to stave off the winter cold?.

a 12 year old Laphroig for young Brendan methinks

[snorky]

this sounds attractive, but Snorky had to wear a cloak of anonimity so wont be attending

[Brendan]

Ah yes. A tonic from Scotland will do the trick I'm sure.

It does taste like medicine to some people.

[mockney piers]

Why don't you just come as a normal, non snorky punter and just approach people saying 'what's going on here?' 'oh a meeting of internet geeks? interesting', whilst calling yourself albert and affecting a dodgy english accent? Perhaps a stoke one, so noone will be the wiser.

Just for curiosity's sake you understand.

[SeanMacGabhann]

The cloak of anonymity is a ruse - we all know he's grounded really ;-)

A great choice Sean! Luckily for Brendan it doesnt taste like medecine anymore since they changed to the recipe a few years back to make it more palatable to the Yanks.

But gents, if you like them peaty may I recommend to you gents the fine Ardbeg which even at 10 years old is a beast of a dram. Palmerston do it and I think Inside 72 had it once too. The BEAST ...an awesome malt.

[SeanMacGabhann]

The next time I go on a single-malt session I'm going to do it properly and not after several bottles of wine and half a keg of lager

[oh the horror]

But I like your selection MrBen

:)-D

[Brendan]

They have Ardbeg at the Plough. When it comes to peaty island malts I quite like Bowmore. It is a bit lighter and easy drinking but then I'm a bit of a lightweight I 'spose.

[Floating Onion]

Ardbeg is very good. The most peaty malt I've had was at a Bruichladdich tasting where they had one at something like 300 ppm. It took your head right off! I don't think they ever released it for sale, they were just trying it out. You either loved it or hated it.

[Michael Palaeologus]

The numbers for the curry have depleted. I was going to have a mate with me but he has dropped out and Mr Onion cant make it. So by my reckoning that is 3 of us - Sean, Lady Gooner et moi. So - do we still want to do it?

The FHT re laying on nibbles and we can always organise a separate visit when more people can make it.

What do you think?

[SeanMacGabhann]

you know that feeling when you have lined up a curry and have been looking forward to it for a while? Nothing else will quite do.... bah humbug!

Probably makes sense to avail of the free food next door tho' so...if you both want to go for a curry still I'll come along but if ye fancy rain-checking that's cool too

[Ladygooner]

No problem - see you at the pub
