Next EDF Drinks - Tonight at The Uplands

[Keef]

RE the Uplands, I couldn't believe how quickly they wanted everyone out, that must have been the busiest night they've had in years, and they were turning away a profit. That said, they rent out rooms upstairs, so maybe that's something to do with it.

[KalamityKel]

Where is everyone else? Still passed out? hmmmmm

Well I had a lovely evening... twas a perfect way to end a tiring week... plenty of booze and friendly ppl :))

[Annasfield]

My head hurts :( 13 hours of boozing is bad.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Hair of the dog, try some Ouzo Anna :))

Mr P - I couldn't think of anything worse. I HATE aniseed. Eugh!!!

However a bloody mary, would be bloody marvellous :)-D

We had a great time. All the waverers made it in the end, which was nice.

As always didn't get to talk to everyone and didn't get to talk to anyone for long enough, but there's always next month.

My highlights would have to be Bellenden Belle on sparkling social form, Mockney's explaination of the shape of God and marriage (an education for us poor sinners not married in the eyes of the Lord) and Sean (unsucessfully) trying to make a quick, quiet exit.

We decided (wisely I think) against the afterparty at the Gowlett, but I'm sure you all had a good time.

I had a great time meeting everyone again, but my ex chickened out. I started off quite well but quickly got drunk, sorry bout the headbutt AnnaJ! Then I got my rather shapely arse down to the dive that is known as 'The Temple Bar' to get my groove on with my daughter and her mates. Was joined by my ex later in the evening and had the mandatory booze soaker-upper in Bagel King then get my drunken self back on the nightbus with cute ex boyfriend. Cheers me dears.

The Temple Bar on Walworth Rd - what a venue that is. My brother briefly managed Sully Shuffles across the road and even he was intimidated by the Temple

I turned up in body last night but after a long week at work couldn't get the gears working - apologies to those I spoke with for any inanity I proferred.

Glad we had some lovely new people come along - moos I met briefly and Sue I spoke to for a while. SteveT I'm tempted to call a newbie after his late "arrival" at the last drinks

Despite closing at 11 I thought the bar staff did a great job all night and handled the requirement to get us out of the pub much, much better than the Dog did last month - cheers to them

[Floating Onion]

Another good night. A pleasure to meet all the new faces & not so new faces I forgot from other times! Much friendlier than the Dog, though that's not difficult.

Headed on to the Gowlett which was good fun & finished me off. Lady Onion was sensible & headed off so is rather more awake than I am today.

[annaj]

You must have been drunk Chav, it wasn't me you head butted, it was Bellenden Belle!

[bob]

Had a good time last night with Mrs Bob S a quick chat with some of you formites 1664 was good staff friendly but must agree with some other post's ELEVEN O' CLOCK closing come on.

Hello all

Thanks very much for the kind and friendly welcome yesterday - really enjoyed meeting you all, and putting faces to the Forum characters! The briefly-orphaned Moosling even let us sleep in till 6.30 this morning, yippee. Looking forward to next month.

[SteveT]

Bring mr moos and moosling and a box or beer crate for mooslet to sleep in next time, make a family outing of it;-)

[Moos]

Or we could just give him a double G&T and guarantee a peaceful morning..::o

[SteveT]

Possibly a milk stout for mini-moos, and save the G&T for adult use, mr moos would appreciate it and as he baby sat last night he's earned it.

Anyway it's a big mistake over indulging the children when they can get by with a tinny and a crust of bread, or teething ring dipped in guinness:)

Glad you had a good night CWALD - but as AnnaJ mentioned it was my head! And there were plural headbutts! I thought it was hilarious!

And I think the two of us may have entertained a few with our rather public and indiscreet conversations... hee hee, that will get you thinking.(may I echo SteveT's comment about your fantastic new haircut - you looked fabulous darling!)

Great night all round - had great fun chatting with Mockney Piers, Michael Papadopulous (sp?); Bob the sailor (right name? I was drunk by then); Sue ... who I think should become Sicillian Sue so we remember her posts; Bignumberfive who was the perfect match for AnnaJ; Steve for the brilliant sticker ideas; Bagpuss for just being her usual wonderful self; Alley Cat for gently pointing out I seemed rather merry on arrival; Floating Onion for scrabble info update; AnotherPaul (sorry about the mix up about your job); Georgia for being lovely and welcoming as always; CitizenEd for admitting he hadn't read my books (totally forgiven); Sean for enquiring after my eye; Jah Lush for sharing his own eye issues; and AnnaJ whose company is always a joy.

My one complaint... there was too little time! Roll on next month....

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Woops, sorry drunken haze and memory lapse.

[Azul]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllloooooooooooooooooooo

was a cool night, sorry that I had to leave around 12ish but they kicked us out anyway.

It's about 26 degrees over here in florida, and will get even better tomorrow.

The girls over here look like that they've taken off some beverly hills series, I've never been into american girls, but bloody hell !!! they're bloody hot! and they can't hold a conversation. wicked.

tomorrow I might go and see the fake pics about the moon and buy a nintendo DS lite for 30quid, drink more dodgy american lagger and some good newcastle ale.

miss my girl, though.

[SteveT]

29 days to go, where is the next forum bash, Georgia?

No thats too far, lets make it East Dulwich;-)

[Michael Palaeologus]

Glad you are having fun in Florida Azul. Good move with the last statement!!

People seem to prefer a post 25th date - so how about 28 March? Although it is the Easter week, so a possibility is to shift it to 4 April - then everybody will have been paid.

Where do people want to go for the next one?

Thoughts?

[????]

I believe you can get a pint for ?1.50 in Swansea

[Michael Palaeologus]

Excellent, have fun.

Where are the rest of us going?

[Bellenden Belle]

We could try The Montpellier as we have discussed meets inside se22 and outside.

[georgia]

Would prefer 4th April but happy to go with the majority.

[bignumber5]

good times had again. bb, nice to meet you and thanks for helping me convince the annaj that she cannot do any better so will just have to stick with me ;-)

great to see you all again and welcome to moos - abandoning the sproggs to get drunk with internet friends is surely the future of ED and what this 'ere forum is all about... ?

RE: early chuck out - keef, very true. I haven't been hearded out of a pub that aggressively for a while. Where to next month?
