Hi circir, I've been to just a couple of forum drinks so far and its usually pretty obvious by the size of the crowd who's in the forum - 30+ people is not unusual, so there's no need to sport red roses or such things! I'm sure you'll feel very welcome and enjoy the evening, I know I did on my first time. I look forward to meeting you there.

A large contingent of forumistas turned up at the plough this evening. The first people I met was Ladymuck and Bookworm who were both newbies to the drinks evening. We sat with Andrew Black the photographer, and Brum who was standing in for Georgia.

Michael Paleologous joined us and soon after that I made my excuses and left to try and make contact with my eldest, whom I expected to have arrived from her hols in the usa.


The whole plough was jumping due to the ED forum populace swelling the ranks, and a good night seemed a certainty.

YES, it was a GREAT evening - Bookworm, Brewski and I left at gone 11.30pm and things were still pretty lively inside. Thanks for being such a lovely chaperone Cheeky Monkey. BTW, I believe I owe both you and Brum a drink...so here's to the next EDF drinkies!

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
