EDF Drinks - Friday 2nd Oct - The CPT

[bigbadwolf]

No I didn't. The Capitol is where all the cool paupers hang out. They have no problem serving you if you're so drunk you can't swallow your drink properly.

You can also get away with smoking puff round the back.The place is a dive, but it's mine and everyone else in Fozzy Hill's dive.

[bigbadwolf]

Your local, The Bird In Hand is well rough and I'd stay well clear of it if I were you.

A Social Service's jackpot in there.

[Michael Palaeologus]

You cant miss Mr OOF taking his photos and if you ask him, he wont.

That's why I grew a beard

[Tolly]

as a EDF drinks virgin, is there a secret handshake one needs to learn?

[mockney piers]

- do you post?

- only from the east!

[matthew123]

that is a very good question Tolly - it's a tradition at the your first drinks to wander over to the landlord give him your credit card and shout, "drinks on the house all night gov'ner", then you will be quickly encircled and welcomed to the magic circle of the edf drinks

I had forgotten this, but yes this is the secret question and response for all new people. Invented when the world was young.

[Brendan]

First rule of thumb would be to not listen to anything the last 3 posters have said. Not just here but in general. Then just look for the big group of noisy drunk people and introduce yourself.

look for beards.....on men

Nah...just join in...I went to my first EDF drinks in August (couldn't make Sept.), and, although I went with a friend and a very chivalrous chaperon, the people we met were very pleasant and made us feel most welcome.

Incidentally, another forumite once told me that you actually don't lose your virginity until you've been to the Curry outing! So, there you go!

Anyway, look forward to meeting you tomorrow - and big fat WELCOME.

[Michael Palaeologus]

It is true - attendance at Drinks is an engagement. Subsequent attendance at the Curry Club is consumation.

If you attend Curry Club before Drinks; well, Admin will look sternly upon you.

[Tolly]

Right - no curry club before drinks. Got it.

Excellent, will see you later.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Well, that isnt strictly speaking true. It depends how Modern you are ::o

[Moos]

Dear me, I must then be old-fashioned to the point of immaculate. I have never been to a curry club, and nor has Mr. Moos...

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Behold a Star hovering over downtown East Dulwich; for there is the Virgin Moos, her frustrated looking husband and bouncing baby and runner beans"

[Moos]

The beans are pretty frustrated-looking too, I'm afraid.

[Keef]

I too seem to be a virgin.

[Keef]

But I've done A LOT of flirting!

[Mick Mac]

I hope to pop in later on.

Does anyone know what side of the bar ? the side with the TVs or the other one?

[????]

I'll be along 8.30ish

Does it really matter?

[Mick Mac]

I only know about 3 people so might not be obvious.

I'm a worrier you see Jah.

[Jah Lush]

Last time we were in there it got so packed we used both bars anyway. Started off in the old one though. Might see you in there later. Cheers!
