The Drum, Northcross Rd, 7:30pm Friday 16th

[Mark]

...just thought I'd mention it afresh, continuing from the Forum night out thread. I'm going to use it as an opportunity to find out what people think of this site, one day it'll be great to have an 'official Forum evening' sponsored by various high quality food and drink companies but until that time we'll just take advantage of Dave's hospitality.

[capt_birdseye]

Is there any news on the front of another Green and Blue wine-tasting session. I understand we'd have to pay this time, but I'd certainly be interested in attending.

[Mark]

I can certainly organise another one, I'll get on to them and post up the details in a new thread hopefully within the next week.

[Jimbo]

I will not be able to make it tomorrow night?

Enjoy all the merriment and dancing girls and I will make every effort to turn up for the next drink.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Me there, probably drunk.

[specialk]

Hurray! I finally managed to get registered- having been following the forum for a while and getting some useful tips and a lot of laughs from it I have plucked up the courage to actually make a post. Myself and my friend Niki (garden fence Niki who inexplicably did not take up the offer of fence fixing in return for lasagne favours :-)) will be at the Drum tonight so if you see two loverly ladies looking for conversation and a good time please reveal yourselves. Depending on the amount of alcohol consumed, the dancing girls may even become a reality.

[Mark]

Good work specialk.

I forgot to mention it's the forum's 6 month anniversary tonight so we can all use that as an excuse to have an extra drink.

[Ant]

Last time I revealed myself to two lovely ladies I got into an awful lot of trouble. :/

[mockney piers]

Forum's halfth birthday? Brilliant, I may be tempted to break my lent alcohol abstinence.

*clears throat*

[Keef]

I'm not sure if I'll be there or not. Want to make an appearence, but these things always seem to get arranged a few days before my payday!!!!!

Promise to try....

[specialk]

We will be a little after 7-30 (or a lot depending on how long it takes to eat a Sea Cow). I assume these occasions stretch out longer than an hour, particular on an anniversary?

[shambles]

c'mon keef - you blew the last one out too...

[Keef]

On my way!

[Ant]

Just dropping in while I wait for the baby's nighttime bottle of milk to warm up to say what a pleasure it was to meet all you good folk.

Night night, and I hope the hangovers aren't too bad tomorrow. (Mine included.)

[dulwichmum]

I am disgusted that I didn't get to come to meet you all. You sound like a lovely daddy Mr Ant. The 16th was the only date I couldn't do. Whenever you all get out of bed, has anyone got any photos? Happy St Patricks day folks!

[Ant]

Morning DM. Here I am making another bottle of milk... far too early for being up again but there you go. I may try to sneak back to bed after the liquid's been administered.

It was a great night, and I know lots of people would have loved to have seen you there. Maybe next time. I don't recall any photos being taken, but maybe it's just that I didn't notice.

[dulwichmum]

You lovely man. If you want to take Mrs Ant out for mothers day, my au pair is the kindest and gentlest girl - she is great with babies. Send me a PM and I will babysit for you myself. No doubt I am at home tomorrow night myself.

[Michael Palaeologus]

It was a great night out. I feel rather tender in the head area. It was good to meet everybody again and I have a horrible feeling that the next night out will be in the not too distant future.

I dont think there were photos, Andrew D Black wasnt there and I cant remember anybody else flashing, as t'wer

I think I spoke to most people, mostly b*llo*cks admittedly, sorry for that and, who was that odd Canadian bloke, so magnificently dealt with by Mrs Mockney? He was both a pain and smelly.

DM - if nothing else, pop into the Drum and see the bar's dog - he looks sooooooooo like Mr Batdog, I think we should adopt him. Perhaps we should have a march during the ED Spring fair and the dog could lead the EDF marchers, dressed in a Mr Batdog oufit.

I now have to head to the Midlands for Mothers day. I would really like to go back to bed.

Oh my head.....

[shambles]

do you mean the nasty man that compared me to a killer whale?:'(

[Administrator]

Lounged

[Michael Palaeologus]

Hurrah!! We have been lounged at last. Bit harsh though, the discussion was about The Drum after all.

Does the Administrator feel a tad fragile for some reason ? :))

Anyway - yes that Canadian, the one that called you a whale and who then went on to tell a frighteningly racist joke on the pretext of not understanding why somebody would be offended by it - which rather summed him up.

[OutOfFocus]

> I dont think there were photos, Andrew D Black

> wasnt there and I cant remember anybody else

> flashing, as t'wer

I decided to keep my flashing private :-)

Actually I planned to come but I got called by a friend who is rarely in London. So after 1 pint that turned into more than 1 it got too late to come.

[Keef]

Twas a fine evening of merriment. I want to go back to sleep, but the pain is too much. That Canadian bloke has been around a while, and is probably the most racist person I have ever met!

[Ant]

He had stinky breath. Probably down to all that racism rotting away his gums.

[bagpuss78]

First told Canadian man to F**k off about 3 years ago in the Vale. Vaguely recall having words with him last night.

He seems to follow me round East Dulwich telling Racist jokes where ever he goes......charming man!
