EDF Drinks at Hoopers

[georgia]

Thanks to all who turned up at the previous drinks at The Gowlett and great to see some 'newbies' as well.

Next drinks are on Friday 6th July at Hoopers, 28 Ivanhoe Road, SE5. The landlord / landlady have been pre-warned that we will all be turning up :)-D

Here's the map taken from the website:

Jamie and Viv are putting on some light bites for us so we will be most welcome

Glad you had a good one Georgia, was really sorry to have missed it. Youre so good organising this and I will make sure I dont miss out again!:)-D

[SeanMacGabhann]

Twas well organised indeed - but to echo TT's comment in another thread, even tho the forum drink postings DO belong in this section, they deserve a more prominent place methinks

[georgia]

I agree! Maybe we could have an 'EDF Events' section? What does Mr Admin think...;-)

[Ladygooner]

Can I add my thanks too Georgia. BTW is anyone going to the Carneval de Cuba in Southwark Park weekend of 16/17 June? Combine two of my favourite pastimes - dancing salsa and drinking mojitos!

Bumping in case it's unnoticed by new forumites

And it's less than 4 weeks away so clear those diaries

[mockney piers]

No harm in an extra bump, and a quick note to say there'll be the first forum wedding between Huguenot and Bumbalina in a few short hours time under the umbrian sun.

Do wish them luck, i for one am poverbially papping my pants!!

and hello everyone, I miss you all and am suffering the severest forumnick withdrawal symptoms!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Good morning MP

Of course I wish them all the best (again) and hope you are all having a splendid time. Appropriate beverages await ye upon return

[Keef]

Congrats and best wishes to the happy couple! When are you home Mockney?

[Jah Lush]

Popped into my first forum drinks just for an hour last time round and met some lovely people, smiling friendly faces all round, you know who you are. I shall try and make time for the next one although there is a birthday in the family so can't say for sure. :)-D

[SeanMacGabhann]

Yes - it's all Jah and no Lush from you isn't it - get 'em down to Hoopers man

[Jah Lush]

I wouldn't quite say that Sean, I've been a bit too pissed to post these last ten days or so. I really have been a terrible Lush recently. Out of the loop and out of my head. "They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no no no." Will try and make up it up to Hoopers though and if I do I shall make a point getting the beers in. Cheers!:)-D

[Keef]

There was a quiz team last night called "Rehab is for quitters", I liked that :)-D

[georgia]

Just moving this up so nobody can possibly forget! :)

[Ladygooner]

Its in the diary!

[karter]

whats the address of hoopers?

[georgia]

28 Ivanhoe Road, SE5.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I know there has been a lot of talk about ethnic (social) cleansing in East Dulwich, so I'd like to know if this is a toffs or chavs do, cos I'd hate to inadvertently wander into the enemy camp

[Jah Lush]

I went to the last one and I certainly didn't see any chavs and certainly no poshos, just a nice bunch of friendly people.

[mockney piers]

Anyone on the forum CWALD. I for one would be delighted to see you there, mines a Harvey's please (the beer, not the bristol cream).

[SeanMacGabhann]

this thread will be "picked up on" by those on the forum who don't like "back slapping"

Mockney there are two Harvey's beers on tap at Hoopers - careful CWALD doesn't buy you the stronger one. Good choice of beer tho (drat! back slappage!)

As ever with these drink-ups the more the merrier - meeting people really breaks down the on-line personae to see the real person - I've met so many good people from this place - would be great to meet you too CWALD - esp as you are from my neck of the ed-woods (doh!)

Timely bump Georgia - nice one. (Damn - did it again!)

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

SeanMG - I might pop along to claim the beer you promised. Do they sell Leffe or Hoegaarden?

You're no chav! ;-)

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Keef - So Chavs can't appreciate a decent beer then??

[Keef]

Any self respecting "chav" will drink stella, simple as that! Now thats a stereotypical label I know, but so is the term chav... Both have little meaning in real life. Anyway, I'll buy you a pint :)
