Next EDF Drinks - Friday 3rd April at The Lodge (above the EDT from 8:30PM)


Recommended Posts

Great meeting everyone last night, really enjoyed it. Definately the plushest EDF Drinks venue I've attended (4th on the spin!), and the food samples were pretty tasty...


Now I am going to rough it at Craven Cottage and check out the ale & pies in that neck of the woods :)

Well I had an excellent night - failed to speak to as many people as I intended to but I think I made up for it by inappropriate touching up of CharlieCharlie's necklace in the toilets - and Keef, yes, I did think you looked quite the cool rider.


Managed to get kebab juice all over the sofa when i got in though.

Had a great time, and thanks to the Lodge for looking after us - a lovely venue.


Also actually got off my lazy bottom for once, and met some new people who are as charming in real life as they are on the Forum. You may interpret that exactly as you wish.

I feel amazingly perky, but then I didnt get up until noon. The weather is lovely, an afternoon pottering on the balcony and possibly an evening by the River beckon.


Very many thanks to The Lounge for their hospitality.

He means the Lodge, the Lodge. Forgive him - he be more sozzled than he thinks


I bumped into some revellers this morning who looked far better than they had any right to (ooops - Sean casting judgement again) I had an idea the night was going to be good and so it was. Well done georgia for sorting it out and well done the Lodge for putting on a good show. . I like the idea of your forthcoming iPod nights as well

An excellent night!! Surprised no major hang over. Behold the powers of the lamb doner wrap from stab and wine!


Very nice venue which I think they did very well out of us. Good nibbles, just not enough, felt there could have been more from that point of view.


They need to change the sign outside though, doesn't reflect the interior and feel of the place.


Well done Georgia!

Great to meet as many as I could and put some faces to names!


Roll on next one!!

Nice venue - thanks Georgia.


I decided not to try to talk to everyone in the room on this, my fourth EDF drinks night, and ended up having a laid back and relaxing evening rather than feeling like a stressed-out pinball on steroids.

Had a great night...


..met lots of new people which is great.


Met two longstanding forumites I was hoping to - Moos and jah - and both were, as I expected, well worth the entrance fee alone...infact they both bought me a drink which I didn't return..next time.


Invented children that people didn't have, gave some awful tips for the Grand National, failed to dig myself out of a "come dine with me" hole, drank a bleedin' Gin & Tonic, nearly lost CC's drink....and ended up going down to Camberwell until 4....all good fun...(no Kebab)

Indeed helped hangover a bit. Pleased for Mockney and Rhinestone too (how come I get the 0-0s!), Mockney fretting about if he'd got a suit to wear to the was worth having to have a Gin & Tonic.


Sorry only spoke fleetingly Sean, good to see you as always.

I recall meeting someone who promised to send me a song about actuaries... not yet convinced this wasn't the drink talking and that no such song exists (seems an odd thing to sing about!), but I'll be watching my PMs with interest!



That was me. It's not about actuaries per se (it's about the appropriate time to have "off" between relationships (oh - and penis pumps))! But it is called The Actuary Song and is sung in a musical (called "I Love You Because") by a character who is an actuary! I suppose it has some "actuary-type" qualities about it!!

Enjoyed meeting people: some again, some for the first time but, too many, not at all. Thanks Georgia - and yes, the venue was nice. Decor eclectic. Some of it hideous and some of it rather lovely. Something for everyone - a bit like the people there!!


Edited for my own reasons.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
