July EDF Drinks - Saturday 4th July at The Rye Hotel

[Keef]

I don't like the sugar bit.

[????]

or the crushing the mint thingy

[charliecharlie]

is "resdy" beer better than normal beer Quids?

yes I agree too sugary is not good

maybe I'll have quickie followed by a slow one

beer then mojito... now that's a good idea

[????]

my keyboard has been destroyed by 2p :X

[charliecharlie]

2p=shorthand for two pints?

you're typing very well for a destroyed keyboard man...

[????]

2p = smallest quidlette :)

[charliecharlie]

oh, of course... great nicknames for your kidlettes

have you got a 5p and a 10p too?

keeping the quidlettes away from the keyboard must be tricky

Um, sorry to drag it back to the question of separatism etc, but. Saturday is a good idea as then those with kids can do the afternoon, those without (or a babysitter) can do evening and some hardcore people can do both. Why does it have to be a Friday night?

Personally I would prefer all the drinks to be on a Saturday night rather than a Friday but I'm not going to suggest they are changed as I only show up to the odd one anyway.

I don't think it's so exceptionally bad to have 3/4 months of drinks on a Saturday night is it?

[charliecharlie]

we could have some on a Friday eve and some on a Saturday afternoon and evenings

could vary them or alternate them

or do Saturdays for Summer and Friday eves for other less 'outdoor' month...

or even do Sunday lunch time occasionally

anything is possible, but I guess it is down to Georgia as she's the one who puts all the effort in, fixes them up and chooses the location

I'm just delighted with the idea full stop, and grateful to Georgia who sorts it all out for us!

What about an EDF all weekend drinks. Start Friday lunchtime and end on Monday night. Round my house, all welcome. Bring your own drink, I'll be away.

[bigbadwolf]

Or for those inclined, an EDF smoke.

[fiskaroo]

What time are the drinks kicking off?

[Michael Palaeologus]

The idea was to have Saturdays during the Summer at venues with beer gardens. Thus allowing people to enjoy the glorious summer afternoons with their children and get horribly drunk.

What time is it going to start and will people pace themselves and stay on in the evening?

[matthew123]

Well I'll try and make this one but it'll have to be in the evening - as I will need an afternoon nap once I've watched the Lions play the Third Test.

[citizenED]

"Thus allowing people to enjoy the glorious summer afternoons with their children and get horribly drunk."

Should there be a then inserted somewhere in that sentence, dear Michael?

If so, then I agree with the idea in theory, only it didn't quite pan out like that at the Herne and, though I cannot vouch for others, it won't be happening like that at the Rye with me since I am now unavailable for the afternoon slot because an event that I had assumed was an evening do actually transpires to be in the afternoon and so instead of attending the Forum drinks with my family in the day I will be at said event and will now be coming to the drinks in the evening as I had initially not expected to; so could get horribly drunk sans offspring. Voila

[georgia]

What time do we all want it to start? I would suggest starting a bit later than last time so we stay on into the evening.

[georgia]

Bump

[matthew123]

I'll not be able to get there til later but I would say 7 p.m. would pretty much secure people staying right through into the evening. I think earlier and you may not have the numbers.

[charliecharlie]

7.00 would be fine for me

and they have good food at the Rye

so all in all a fab idea Georgia

[????]

Is anyone thinking of ging in the afternoon?

[citizenED]

Sorry, Quids, me and my lot can't do the afternoon session. I'll be there for the evening though.

[digitalronin]

Finally, an EDF drink when both Mie & I can make it. See you all then.

David

[SeanMacGabhann]

Afternoon possible veering on likely. It's going to be a lot warmer than the last drinks at least

[????]

I think the quidses' will be taking the fairweather approach so hopefully there looking at the forecast! Is Moos about?

[Keef]

Will be sorry to miss you all, but playing guitar in the afternoon at a community carnival thing in Lewisham, then having a band BBQ in the evening. All of which should be fun, but spending all day drinking in the sunshine is also appealling.
