EDF Drinks at The Phoenix this Friday 9th January

[bon3yard]

Thin ice.

[karter]

BB, I am contemplating coming along with other forumites that is if i am fit enough though. I wouldn't want to give all of you manflu now. Any recommendations for coughs and catarrh appreciated.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Happy memories of Dogbolter about 16 yrs ago. Don't remember a balcony, just a choo choo that scurried round the top of the pub. Surely even if Mrs BN5 is at work, it's close enough to bunk off to? [apparently closes at 11pm]

[bon3yard]

Is that the robust and near flammable 'Dogbolter' oft spoke of in hushed tones amongst the whiskered afiiliates of CAMRA PGC? If so, I'm with you all the way. Dog-rough...erm, ruff.

[Annasfield]

Karter - goose grease.

Bon3yard - are you going?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

'S'ok bon3yard, I'll have a wet shave before I turn up.

A whisky mac should sort you out, Karter.

[annaj]

PGC, in my line of work, bunking off to go down the pub is frowned upon.

No idea why...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Tsk, what is the world coming to? At least have a surreptitious slurp from the rubbing alcohol then you won't be so far behind us.

[2nd time mummy]

Another 1st timer joining the crew. See you all there. ;-)

[charliecharlie]

what sort of time do people turn up??? I might be coming with another new forumite, so looking forward to it!

[david_carnell]

Any time after 8 I'd say although it'll get busy from 9 onwards.

See you all there (as usual).

[SeanMacGabhann]

from about 8:30 onwards is usually about right - sometimes it might appear a bit quiet at the beginning but it always picks up

I'm aiming for 8:30

[Mick Mac]

I am already double booked for tomorrow night (very rare to be booked once, never mind twice/thrice) If I turn up drunk at 10.30 will there still be someone there?

[Annasfield]

That's how I'll probably turn up if I make it. Must try and get there early one night and be sober.

[Sharon_H]

I'm having a *"dry" January so won't be going anywhere unfortunately. :'(

* Chocolate liqueurs don't count.

[shell]

I would love to come but I'm basically too much of a coward to do it alone - any solo first timers more brave than me let me know how it goes x

[indiepanda]

Ah don't be shy Shell. I came on my own my first time and everyone was really friendly and welcoming. In fact first time I came was a pub crawl the day after I moved to East Dulwich, and I didn't know anyone here before that so it was a nice way to start to get to know people in the area. (note to self, must work less and do more of this!!!)

I know the last time I went (November or October I think...) I got chatting to another chap came on his own, having not even posted before, just having read the forum and he said he had a really good time.

There are quite a few first timers planning to come this time too so it would be a great time to come along, I'm sure you won't regret it.

[Strawbs]

We will be aiming for 8.30! woop woop x

[Gen17]

I'm going to be brave and come along too. I'm also a first-timer. Looking forward to seeing you all in person!

[Moos]

I am full of lurgy and sick as a parrot so may make it only to drop off a bag of DVDs for Keef and then cauwf orff into the night.

[mockney piers]

Gen, all the way from Sydenham, you are a veritable inspiration to all umming and aahing about coming for the first time.

Bravo/a!!

[karter]

I think the Phoenix will be doing very very well tonight. Hope they have extra staff in.

[Applespider]

I'm planning on coming dependent on how lazy I feel when I finally make it home and it will be my first forum drinks too.

[Keef]

The cash machine has been kind to me (although they'll take their pound(s) of flesh later!), so I shall be along sometime between 8 and half past. Believe the lovely Annasfield will be along too! :)-D

[Jah Lush]

My cash machine says "no". So won't be along to this one. Payday next week and it can't come quick enough. Have fun.
