Happy Birthday Raj! Birthday drinks for a gal pal tonight and ... gardening for the rest ... oh dear.

Fear I might be a no-show on Sunday guys 'cos I've got a heavy and important day on Monday. I like to think I could attend and partake in the quiz on soft drinks but I do know myself ... can I decide at the last moment?

I'm down in the wilds of Kent this weekend and this morning I have the mother of all hangovers after a heavy session with the good ladies of Benenden. Unfortunately I'm on lawn mowing duty in a minute, then I'm getting my kit off and hopefully get a bit of a suntan. Ooooh! Am dreading the thought going back to the office on Monday. Work is the curse of the drinking classes. Have a great weekend everyone.

Ironically Mockney I had a friend DOWN from Hitchin yesterday - 3 of us ended up in 72 for far too many cold drinks and then a DVD/chat session until 4:30am


Watched Pans Labyrinth this morning (aces) and as friend had to get back to hitchin, decided 63 bust to Kings X was best bet so had one in the garden of the Herne by the 63 bus stop. That turned out to be 4...


87% certain I'll be at quiz tomorrow - I too have a big work day on Monday but feel it is my civic duty to "be" "there" for my forum compadres.

Nice. Pan's Labyrinth is a top top film.


Yes, Hitchin looking good (better than letchworth). Ironically i ended up drinking in a hugely gentrified Three Moorhens. No fights, no darts, no people being dragged across the carpark under a car, just family oriented niceness.


Snorky wouod be proud.

Christ on a bike, I watched Pans Labyrinth on Friday night, I loved it but I was mortified at the violence!! I mean when that mans face got concaved by the officer with the bottle?! I see blood and guts alot but even I had to turn away. I was expecting something sweet and magical along the lines of.......that film with Ewan McGregor playing the younger version of (is it Michael Gambon?) and it had Helena Bonham-Carter in it. Whatever that one's called. Something something Fish?

What's the name of that pub in Hitchin with a side bar called The John Peel bar or something...


Haylehaye - you mean Big Fish? I normally allow Tim Burton plenty of leeway but was disappointed with that one:


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319061/


Have to agree with the violence in PL - I was expecting something more than average fantasy fare but holy moly. he had it coming tho in fairness...


Should we consider changing this thread name in light of the fact we are all suffering and depressed on account of the fact it's not Friday?


Are people quizzing tonight? (see Magdala quiz thread)

Yes PL is pretty brutal. One of our number had to leave the cinema for 5 minutes during the torture scene.

Definitely worth a watch though, especially as many of my kin were on the losing side in the war, and alot of them fled to South America to avoid character like the capitan.


Not sure Sean, I haven't been a hitchin regular for many a long year, but It could be the Red Hart which was quite a muso pub.

    • Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor
    • I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
    • It's happened twice today, I've never had this happen before! Here's the second one. All I did was try to agree with a post in the lounge!
    • Now I'm having my hand slapped by some forum bot 😮 All I did was try to add a laughing emoji to ianr's post. This is obviously a message from the universe to tell me to get off my phone and get back to working my way through my very lengthy to do list 🤣 ETA: And it's just happened again when I tried to agree with a post in the lounge. OK universe, I give in. Back to the hideous task list.
