Next EDF Drinks - Friday 5th Dec at The Wishing Well Inn

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Now I'm sorely grieved. The WW has had a tacky notice up for months stating over 21s only. It's the reason I didn't come and smuggle in my teenager. Unless midgets really have taken over ED, there were at least two children there. Bah.

I really hope it didn't sound that bad on the night! I hope the backing track sounded a bit louder.

Re: "I couldn't remember the Geordie lass's name either (there again I have trouble remembering my own at times)... but she was absolutely lovely."

Her name was Katy, though no idea what she logs in as. Thanks everyone for a superb evening; was absolutely stunned to realise I didn't get home till 2:45, and have no idea where the night went to, though had good chats with Anna and Andrew, Piers, Andrew, John, Bellenden Belle, Katy, Anthony; my mum, my agent, and anyone else who knows me. I will definitely come along to the next one.

...can't of been anything too serious as wasn't aware of anything!!

May have spotted her on the train this morning but it was far too packed to say hello. Likewise Bellenden Belle, somewhat closer but still lost in the crush.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I dont think that Nichiyobi has posted yet. I have sent her a PM to encourage her to join in.

Easy to lose Belle in a crush ...

[annaj]

Just a thought, but some people don't like their real name and username posted together.

We only had a brief chat (I was a bit hopeless at socialising this time) but she made a very good point about pubs painted black. I've been thinking about it ever since and can't think of one a really like...

[Ant]

Good point annaj. Have edited.

[jaybee82]

Oh bugger! I've gone and missed it - any room for a new face at the next drinks?

[Strawbs]

I will be checking out the pics when I get in tonight as cant see flickr at my work.. When is the next one? x

[Michael Palaeologus]

Ample room for new faces at each and every drinks.

Chatting to Georgia re the next drinks, which are on on 2 January, we wondered about the Gowlett? It may be a bit slow as it is so close to the festive season, but chopping and changing dates is never a good idea as it just mucks everything up.

The Gowlett is a traditional pub with plenty of space and is close to the ED heartlands.

[mockney piers]

Did anyone from Forest Hill or West Dulwich turn up btw?

[Bellenden Belle]

Ahhhh, I can't make the 2nd.

The Gowlett is a great pub but it will be the third time in eighteen months... we were last there in July, weren't we?

Loving the fact everyone is so keen to hang out down my neck of the woods though...you're all SE15ers at heart aren't you?

[Strawbs]

2nd may be a bit iffy depending on levels of alcohol poisoning across ED.. Gowlett is a great location so if we come I will see you there..

[Jah Lush]

Exactly! Three times! How about somewhere else? We seem to do more drinking in Peckham than in Dulwich. How about the Clockhouse? Oh! Hang on a minute.

[mockney piers]

The Mag?

[bob]

Not to shure about the 2nd still be wrecked from the night befor.

You're going to be out drinking on the 1st as well as New Years Eve??? Wow - you're hard-core Bob S - respect!

[karter]

What about the Uplands Pub? They have comfy sofas and lots of space and it's in the heart of ED.

[SeanMacGabhann]

3 times in 18 months doesn't sound that bad to me. I'd be happy to return to the Gowlett. And the 2nd is possibly pushing it after NYE and that but so long as people spend the 1 st under a duvet they should be chomping at the bit for a reason to get out on the 2nd

As for the Uplands - I would say that was the worst forum drinks I've been to. I give it a go with some friends once every 6 months or so (all those "under new management" signs I see) but it's always sterile and the food is poor. And with apologies to the one or two staff I have liked, the service is usually the wrong side of unfriendly - there was zero banter when they were chucking us out at the last drinks..

SE15 pubs - yep, I seem to spend more and more time in them lately. Certainly at the weekends when the Lane has become largin-it central. The Plough and the Mag are exceptions to that rule - I get to meet and have conversations with grown-ups there (sometimes I even manage to introduce people ;-) )

But I'm not suggesting we go to either the Plough or the Mag btw - we go there plenty as it is

[Strawbs]

I think G just needs to do up a roster for all of 09 with the date and the allocated pub and if we all want to go then we go and then atleast its done and we dont go back and forth on what pubs we go to each month.. I know it was mentioned before, do you think we could do that? I am sure it would save G a whole load of stress each month..
