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

[buggie]

Thanks for letting me know re: ?paying to get in - esp Georgia! Will be rude not to pop in for one now (can't stay for much longer as doing job no2 tomorrow morning!) See you later guys!

[SeanMacGabhann]

I presume we are aiming to meet in the rear garden (weather permitting?)

(not everyone knows it has one..)

[VeryBerryCherry]

what sort of time are people making it there for?

[SteveT]

Can't make it tonight, so some imaginative soul will have to think of a way to label people.

[VeryBerryCherry]

Now the time is near, the thought of heading out alone to meet all you rabble is a little daunting...

I thing I need some beer bravery before heading out!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried meeting you all, you all seem reasonably sane >:D<. It's just the thought of wandering in like a complete Billy-no-mates-loner with not a clue as to who I'm looking for!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Just back from cocktail party. Did think of joining you but my feet are killing me - I don't do high heels very well. Jim jams and Big Brother instead. Hope you had fun.

[buggie]

All turned pants at work so needed to head home and eat (no dinner break for me!). Fingers crossed for July!!

[Guest]

Excuses from me too - I planned to be there but worked late and it has been a rollercoaster of a week so in the end just crawled home instead.

[Ladygooner]

Just got home - may decide not to do decorating today! Good luck with the Barry Road Race - may see you all at the Clockhouse at 1pm today1

[VeryBerryCherry]

I've just got back from what I have to say, has been a great night out. i am sitting here, happy, with a big smile and a chiken shish kebab and chips.

You were all really lovely and I can't wait until the next one!

Night

xXx

VBC - saw you in the Kebab shop - SO popular!! :))

[SeanMacGabhann]

I liked the cut of your jib anyway VBC - but now I know you are a chicken kebab woman you are even more sound >:D<

Great to see so many new faces last night (and quite a few from teh Book Club as well). Everyone seemed in tip top form - But my oh my the Vale was quiet

Right, the first of many glasses of water before today's Barry Barry Run is called for. I'll see some of you in the Clock House about 1:30 ish?

[VeryBerryCherry]

Yeah the left over kebab splattered all over the living room this morning wasn't a site I needed to see after the amount I drank! How did yours go down?

and OH GOD! For those of you who feel like I do this am and are doing the Barry run...

GOOD LUCK!

I want to see some photos

[Michael Palaeologus]

Good to see everybody last night - bigger turn-out of newbies which was great.

Head feels rather vague today, mouth tastes of kebab, yuk.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well that will teach you to go licking the wall's of VBC's living room.

[surfbobby]

I'm so impressed at how early some of you are up. I'm going back to bed to get an extra 20 mins kip before the race.

See y'all at the starting line...

[giggirl]

I'm so pleased I made the effort to show up last night. I was a little fuzzy this morning - I'm a real lightweight and don't take my drink well!

I'm on my way back to Wembley for tonight gig - there's a little rumour that there just might be a Zeppeliny type guest at the Foos tonight. How can I possibly not go? If the rumour's wrong (and I do hope not) then at least I'll be able to catch up with a lot of friends I know will be there. Hope the rumour's right though!

[citizenED]

Another very enjoyable social evening. Good to see everyone and so many newbies. Sorry I had to leave early but I knew I would be woken up by a certain little boy by 6am and that doesn't taste so good on a major hangover.

Good to see the Vale actually closed it's doors to regular punters to make it a forum private party;-)

[Keef]

Please excuse my late arrival and general drunken behaviour! Was a shame there wasn't more dancing, myself, Dems and Anna made lonely threesome dancing around Anna's handbag!

[annaj]

A very good night, how did it get so late so quickly?

There were absolutely no fights and as far as I know Anna (other Anna that is. The one who was dancing round her handbag with Keef) and I had the dubious honour of being the only people to be repremanded by the bouncers - for touching the plants!

Andrew Black was busy with the camera as always and I look forward to seeing the results...

I much enjoyed my first ever Forum drinks. Nice to meet everyone and see all ages - what a very friendly bunch. What a wonderful thing the Barry Barry Run was, although I only saw the messy aftermath. Surely an annual event in the making. Hats off to Surfbobby!

[SeanMacGabhann]

wot - posted 4 hours ago and no comments or thanks to Andrew?

Good work Andrew - although you do have a knack of catching beautiful women in less than flattering poses sometimes!

I love the one of Annaj and Lady Macgabhann on the sofa

[annaj]

Ah, yes. That's this months photo where I look like my granny!

Thanks Andrew, as always you really caught the atmosphere, along with some quite extraordinary facial expressions.

Good work.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

OoOh, I look half decent with a bit of a tan!
