EDF Drinks - tonight Friday 6th February - Black Cherry

[citizenED]

I'm coming to this.

Errrrrr.....in light of the most recent posts maybe not the best choice of phrase.

[georgia]

it's this Friday

[Keef]

Hope this works out, I popped in the Cherry on Saturday, and my one concern is that even with the downstairs area reserved, it is going to take an age to get a drink!

[Jah Lush]

Count me out then. I've got to go there the next night for a birthday party and I don't want two nights of waiting for my thirst to be satiated.

[georgia]

I don't see why it is going to be a problem. They know we are coming (I have spoken to Angela this week to confirm) so they should know how many staff they will need.

Please turn up everyone (even if it is snowing)...

[Keef]

I'm not trying to put a downer on it or anything. It's just they had a private party in the downstairs area on Saturday, but can only fit so many behind that bar, and if someone asks for 4 cocktails, then queues will start to grow!

I like the Cherry though, and I like Angela, so I shall pop in for a bit (couple of Bona Vistas and Mojitos), but may be a bit too much of a squeeze for me to hang around all night.

given that the service at the Phoenix was hardly lightning-fast, look how that night turned out. One of the best nights ever

so don't be put off be slow service... just buy bigger rounds

[Keef]

I must have got very lucky at the Phoenix, was very busy the first hour, but then got a lot quieter. Longest I waited at the bar was about 2 minutes!

Aaaanyway, like I said, not trying to be negative about Friday, sure it will be nice, and the Cherry is the one place between the police station and ED Station I'd actually make the effort to go to on a weekend night (I'm just not good with crowds).

[TillieTrotter]

Not for me unfortunately. Have fun ya'll

[????]

I think that I will pop in

- in a return to form that means I almost ceratinly won't show

I had to wait an abslute age at the Phonix and it was great night, will be at the cherry.

Come on Quids you can make it, you enjoyed the Phoenix, if you can remember :))

[Miles]

I'm still game on, see you all there. :))

[Michael Palaeologus]

Steady Ladies, Steady ..

[CW1]

Can anyone rock up? Will it be obvious who you all are to an EDF Drinks virgin?

[Miles]

My 1st drinks was the last one and I managed to find them ok.

[SeanMacGabhann]

@CW1

anyone rocking up (as we used to say in 1999 ;-) ) is more than allowed, tis positively encouraged

And this time it will be easier than usual because we will be in the sunken area at the back of t'Cherry

[Gen17]

Why don't we agree not to order the lethal, yet lovely, cocktails then? Would be a shame for people not to come cos they are worried about service.

Angela is lovely and will pull out the stops for us - I know it!

Hope to see you all there.

[Keef]

Sean, I still use the term Rock up. Gosh, I wish I was as with it as you! ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

it was a tease really - Lady Mac picked it up in Sheffield about 1999, and we both still use it. It just reminds me of (gulp!) 10 years ago

Funny that considering you can strap a guitar on infront of a few hundred people?.

Thing is I feel the same way about it.

[matthew123]

If they have two people on bar service then maybe one should be dedicated to serving beers - but either way hope to attend as am sure it'll be a good time.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned but what time does it kick off?

[Jah Lush]

Usually around 8pm.

Not sure what time the drinks start but it could "kick off" any time;-)

Might come along for the craic...:))

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and would love to join for drinks. Sadly I can't make it tomorrow, but would be really keen to come along to the next ones. Any idea when they might be?
