EDF Drinks - at The Herne

[buggie]

sorry for crying off early (will work out being off day of and after drinks one of these months!!), but fab to see you all again. Is great to have a night out practically on my doorstep with such a great group of friends.

BN5, annaj & SM will all be pleased to hear no lasting damage seems to have occured from my lamppost bashing incidence... and made it home without bumping into any!!

Fingers crossed work'll be nice over the w/e!! x

[Strawbs]

Jaws and I had a great night albeit people had to lip read what I was trying to say!!

Was so great to see sm, David c, moos, b belle, and many others.. Also great to see I'm no longer classed as a newbie as we had two lovely new peeps tonight!

Looking forward to the next ones already!

Well said V.

[TillieTrotter]

Agree with Mr P. Never a truer word spoken and put so eloquently.>:D

[SeanMacGabhann]

Im still trying to figure out quids 100 comment. Did you make it?

My head hurts so bad today. . Shorts after closing time. . Why . . Why.

[TillieTrotter]

Because you're a raving alcoholic Mac. >:D< Sounds like y'all had fun as usual. Wish I had a sore head too.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I hereby declare everything that came out of my mouth after 10pm last night null and void due to excess consumption of alcohol and diminished responsibility!!

[KalamityKel]

were u dribbling again chav?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Verbal dribble!

[Moos]

Last night was a great laugh, so much fun to see lots of familiar and a couple of smiley new faces. I may have been in a slightly bumptious mood, so apologies if I was irritating in any way! :-$

Also, soooooo busted on the new jeans. Damn you all for being observent.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Feeling 0.0005% better now

I don't remember speaking to JimmyD after all his offers of drink as well. Did you make it James?

I thought the Herne was quite a good venue - nice big garden space, and the conservatory was a good spot to put us indoors. As ever I never got to speak to everyone I wanted. And I don't remember making much sense to those I did. :-$

Kudos to strawbs for making it out with that throat as well. Jaws good to meet you as well

newbies thin on the ground - but nice to meet you Richard (and Mrs Richard whose name I can remember but as shes not a forumite I shall omit)

Good to have a chat with bob s and mrs bob s too

Ahhh ... some Andrews liver salts. Excellent idea

[bob]

You are of course refering to the long established, 10pm talking rubbish watershed. Anything anyone says in a pub after 10pm can't be taken seriously and it would also be terribly bad form to be expected to live up to any promises made after the watershed.

It?s one of the drinking rules innit.

thanks for a great night all. I think Natalie must have hit me in the head with a hammer in my sleep again last night.

[annaj]

Handmade chocolate truffle anyone?

I made them myself bright and early this morning.....

Great night all. :))

[Azul]

I'll never drink again

[citizenED]

A nice young man called Brendan walked me home last night. Or did I walk him home? A mutual Laurel and Hardy amble.

lovely evening again. I was up early too, annaj - but all I made was a mess.

[bignumber5]

A day of study lost in favour of sitting eating crap and watching poor afternoon telly - god, i needed a night out! Nice to meet richard and mrs.richard (echos seanmac on memory issues), completely missed Bob S, and failed yet again to say hello to strawbs and jaws - sorry guys, a nervous man with a reduced alcohol tolerance. Have got to that funny "comfort zone" stage of having been to a couple of forum drinks and met a few people, now target those I've already met. Will endevour to be more sociable next time.

I assume that the post-pub chez carnell group are all feeling on top of the world... :-S

Motion to have the 10pm bullshit watershed brought forward to 9ish - i'm out of boozing practice so started talking crap a lot earlier than CWALD... (although was I overtaken by sheer quality ;-))

Smashing times, all, many thanks.

[edited to clarify that i was talking crap, not taking it!]

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Surely handmade chocolate truffles aren't crap? I'll have yours.

[annaj]

Kind of you to rush to the defense of my truffles PGC, but don't worry he's not being rude about my confectionary, I've only just got home with the truffles.

Goodness knows what he's been eating to feed the hangover, I haven't checked the fridge yet.....

Classy run round the playground last night by the way.

[buggie]

...think Mrs Richard was Mona - lovely to chat to them both and hope Richard works out his username soon!

Feeling shattered despite early doors... looking forward to a drinks with the next day off so can stay out to play later!!

[Franki]

aah, looks like I missed a good night :( will definitely try to get to the next one!

My plan was, like MadWorld74, to stay off the booze as I'm also doing a run on sunday, probably the same one (but not for charity, just to prove to myself I'm physically capable of it).

However, despite my best intentions I might have ended up drinking with work colleagues all evening so have a bit of a headache. damn.

Looking forward to the photos for this one if there were any. Were you there Andrew?

ps I like you 10pm rule Brendan, it gets me off the hook for promising to run and win the Barry Barry at the last forum drinks. I'm sure I said that at about 1.30am !!

[citizenED]

To be honest, I think you made the Barry Barry promise at about 10.01pm, Franki. Still qualifies under Brendan's rules, so you are still off the hook.

Andrew was there, and he took photos - feel sorry for anyone he snapped after 10pm; the rule applies to photography as well as conversation.

[david_carnell]

It's nearly 24 hrs since this all started and I stil hurt!

Had a marvellous time however. The Herne was a good summer venue with excellent real beer.

Richard and Mona (people, people, come on!) were lovely newcomers, Strawbs the perfect wife and I have a fellow Laphroig lover in PGC (if not Chav).

Lovely to have a few folks back to mine afterwards, hopefully you're all suffering as much as me.

Oh, and Chav.....I remember every torrid word of what you said but will keep it to myself until I need a favour! Your secrets are (currently) safe.

I'm on holiday for the next one so see you all in two months....
