Next EDF Drinks - this Friday 6th June at The Vale

[georgia]

It's this Friday...

[Annasfield]

Have just realised that I probably won't be able to come on Friday as I'm going to Epsom ladies day. Alternatively, this could mean that I turn up plastered in a frock and dodgy hat. :-S

Hmmm - why does the Vale have to be on the way home from the train station.

[VeryBerryCherry]

Hi,

completely new and gullible to the area and these "events"

Anyone fancy enlightening me on what usually goes on, without scaring me away from public East D nights out forever?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Drinking

And Talking

Lots of both

Some of the talking is regretted the next day ;-)

This time, as it's at the Vale, I believe more than a few people are looking to "cut a rug" at some point but I'm not sure what the music is like on Friday's there.

Usually get 2-5 first timers show up at each drink so you shouldn't feel exposed. With any luck the weather will improve and we can sit outside in the back garden

[Michael Palaeologus]

Annasfield, you SO have to turn up in a posh frock and dodgy hat and ever so slightly 3 sheets to the wind! Preferably with large amounts of winnings to spend....

[Strawbs]

Jaws and I will definitely be making an appearance.. :))

[Keef]

Not looking like I'll be at this one I'm afraid.

[Sam]

I've not yet made it to one of the get togethers but am hoping to do so in the future. Would be nice to meet you guys.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I stilllook on course for this one - missing two in a row?? unthinkable

[mockney piers]

Looks like I might be doing just that. I have a mate over from Chicago.

[Marmora Man]

I hope to be there - to defend my right wing bastard status and share an overdue Guiness with Sean MacG.

[Ladygooner]

MM - hope you have factored the cost of your beer into your very tight benefits budget!

[mockney piers]

Mate from chicwagee is over following next weekend, so may yet make it...though.....vale.....

[hibbs]

Count me in.

[citizenED]

I'll be there. Having missed last month it'll be nice to catch up. Looking forward to it.

I am starting my "week" tomorrow but intending to take time out fro Friday!

[SeanMacGabhann]

technically cheating MM but any discussion on THAT experiment should be confined to the relevant thread methinks - look forward to seeing you Friday (although I fully intent to take you up on the drink offer, it shan't be a Guinness - heavens no. I may dress that way sometimes but never touch the stuff)

[annaj]

Looking forward to this is carrying through some very tedious night shifts.

I'll be there fresh as a daisy after a full days sleep. :))

[Guest]

I'm hoping to be there. At the moment spending my time lurching between horrible home situation (sharing, at my age should know better, desperate to find somewhere civilised to live) and horrible work situation. Will probably be lousy company but hopefully will help take my mind off both of them.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I'm trying to get out of babysitting my granddaughter, which I'd agreed to before I realised it was EDF night! I had her last w/e so might be able to swing it if I lay the guilt on thick enuf!

[Bellenden Belle]

I've mentioned before that I won't be there but I have suddenly had a thought.

All these threads about pulling, d**ks and M*****S, I am wondering if the forum is getting into a Vale frame of mind. We are such social chameleons!

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of AnnaJ swinging a Barcardi Breezer bottle and screaming "I'll 'ave yeh".

obviously this is not a fair reprsentation of the Vale, its clientele or indeed AnnaJ...well, perhaps AnnaJ

[Brendan]

Well I feel that the highbrow nature of the conversation lately is certainly reflected in the choice of venue.

I am also relying on the fact that as we have not yet reached a point where sarcasm needs to be explained I will be spared a lynching this Friday.

[Keef]

Just don't leave your bloody coats unwatched! ;-)

[mockney piers]

Or go to the toilets

[giggirl]

Well I shall be at Wembley with the Foos this Friday - I never get to come to drinks!
