Thank God its Friday

[TillieTrotter]

Anyone got anything good lined up for the weekend?:)-D

[mockney piers]

*lounged*

I for one will be off to see an old mate for for a few beers, some park action and a bit of wii

[TillieTrotter]

sorry, must pay attention, Keep getting the wrong room. What sort of park action would that be Mockney?

[georgia]

Pub tonight for other half's birthday, hairdressers tomorrow, possible party tomorrow and quiz Sunday all being well. Have a good weekend all and hope to see some of you Sunday:)-D

[TillieTrotter]

Happy birthday to your other half, sounds like a full on weekend. No plans yet for me, although am kid free as from an hours time. The world (east Dulwich) is my oyster. Ho hum

[Ant]

I'm unusually kid-free until Sunday afternoon. I plan large bouts of inactivity punctuated perhaps by a little sloth. And maybe some Gamecube...

[mockney piers]

Well my mate's up in Hitchin, so I guess probably Windmill Hill? Just for old time's sake I quite like the sound of having a bottle of lambrusco up there.

Hangover permitting I'll be along to the Mag quiz on sunday too.

[BarryRoad]

Working tonight, barbeque for a friend's birthday saturday day (and night I expect!), then back to ED for more work on Sunday. Lovely!

[Polly D]

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?

[georgia]

Hope you can make it to the quiz Polly - I will have to make sure I don't have too many drinks on Sunday as well so you won't be alone!

[shambles]

aw..i'm gutted about missing the quiz this sunday. hope you have fun!

[Keef]

Just had meeting followed by drinks with people I trained for my job with... Now plan to make it home safe, eat something substantial, then get drunk!

[shambles]

have you achieved your goal big K?

[Jah Lush]

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.

[Keef]

Shambles, I did indeed achieve my goal, and today I'm realising what a sh!t idea it actually was... :-S

[shambles]

Never mind Keef lol! Hair of the dog required surely! Get out there in sunshine with an ice cold beer - you'll soon pick up!

[SeanMacGabhann]

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.

[mockney piers]

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.

[haylehaye]

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?

[SeanMacGabhann]

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)

[mockney piers]

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.
