Next Forum Meet-Up sometime in April

[CrystalClear]

Well, it sounds like we're meeting in the CPT, I guess we just need to figure out when. I was thinking the 4th or 11 of April, but there's football on both nights, so possibly not a good time (though on the 11th it's Liverpool playing - they don't tend to attract very big crowds). How about the 3rd or the 10th - I imagine a lot of people will be busy over the bank holiday weekend. Any takers/suggestions?

[Keef]

Liverpool get bigger crowds than the Saints... Just thought I'd point that out!

Would also like to point out to everyone that they're both week nights, and I happen to know that Crystal has leave on those days, so won't have to deal with a hangover at work the following day!!!! ;-)

I don't mind when though...

[georgia]

Don't mind when either - most week nights fine at moment

[Mark]

How about a Forum Sunday lunch?

[mockney piers]

Oh no, the decision as to where could go on til next year. But nice idea, I'd be up for it.

[Keef]

That might be nice... NOT THE DOG!!!!!

[Ant]

Definitely not the Dog.

[Polly D]

What about one person queues at William Rose to buy the beef, another at SMBS to buy the veg, another chooses wine at Green & Blue, copy of the Observer from Budgeons and then we all trot off to whoever's got the nicest and biggest house ... maybe Snorky's?

[CrystalClear]

No, not the Dog *shudders* Maybe we should have a EDF bbq! Anways, yep, they are all weekdays (I thought people would be away over the bank holiday). I've narrowed it down to one evening between the 3 and 14 of April. Not sure I'm cut out for this!

[mockney piers]

Ooh yes. If the weather's nice we could set up a few barbies on peckham rye or goose green?

[Polly D]

How about an Easter Egg hunt ... Crystal Clear as the bunny.

[CrystalClear]

er.....um.....er.....um.......er.....er......er.....er.......um......

[georgia]

Err.. are we meeting up in the CPT, am getting confused. Could always go for a curry as we have so much choice on LL? Maybe Surma would give us a discount as we voted them the best...

Sunday lunch also sounds good though not sure where - needs to have a veggie option of course!

[Polly D]

yeah, maybe logistically it's easiest to meet in CPT and not pin down numbers for food. I'm keen for the CPT; how about Thursday 12 or Friday 13 (or would that be too scary!)?

[georgia]

Agree probably easier to just meet for drinks. 12th or 13th April fine with me.

[Keef]

I can do those dates....

One month can we meet sometime just after the 22nd, so I'll actually have money to spend!!!!

[bagpuss78]

Sounds good to me :)-D

Keef I blame you for my absence from work today, stayed a little longer in the CPT than I had expected :-S

I was doing a recce for the forum meet!

[Keef]

Yes Crystal also has a bad head...

I would like to point out to everyone that I met these 2 stop outs at about 6pm for a quick drink, then I went home just after 7...... What time did you say you left Crystal.... half 12 was it?!?!?!? :-S

You'd never get me doing anything like that! Well not when Mrs Keef is making pizza, and Ideal is on telly anyway ;-)

[Michael Palaeologus]

12 or 13 April is good for me.

[dulwichmum]

Does anyone know when is Easter this year? I can't drink until Easter sunday...

[Michael Palaeologus]

About 10 days; or

There is a little known Christian sect in a small corner of Ethiopia that believes that Easter Sunday is actually TODAY!!

Given your move from the Papists to the Prodies, I suspect that a further shift of theological perspective would make little difference in the eyes of the Lord (or your Mother) and you would be able to seek comfort in the arms of Messrs Gordons and Schweppes.

[dulwichmum]

I have come this far alcohol free - so I must try to complete this whole Lent thing, even though it is killing me!

I keep putting comments on other threads, and then finding that other peoples comments seem to slot in above mine, and my comment is left in obscurity, not relating to anything else and appears random... unless that is just a sign of detoxing and my mind is starting to play tricks on me?

[batdog]

Hey D-Mum,

You are always welcome at my mansion for a "full detox" anytime ;-)

Can send the chauffeur anytime you wish... you know that.

[dulwichmum]

Darling Batdog,

Your offers are extremely tantalising, but I would never forgive myself if I went to meet you for a 'full detox' as you suggest. Although James would not even notice (the rugby season is currently in full swing), Fr O'Connor would spot the spring in my step immediately. He would surely expose my misdemeanor to the entire community and have me tarred and feathered and then run out of town!

I mean Mr Batdog, in these heels? You really would not wish that on anyone.

Have you seen the film 'Ryans daughter?' The Irish are barbarians - although slightly more cultured than the French (toilet paper of better quality).

[Polly D]

Morning DM

Easter Sunday is on the 8th so you're nearly there! Likewise Kathryn.

CC and co. I forgot about a prearranged event I have on the 12th (not that I think the night out should be arranged around my diary; just thought I should say. Friday 13 is still good, or Sat 14th if others prefer.
