Happy with either the Lord Clyde or Horseshoe. I’m not convinced it’ll be all that busy. It’s been fairly quiet cos school holidays and people want to get away for the weekend.

Cue pic of Fizzles’ comically squeezed face in heaving crowd at the bar.

Fizzles, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link

Yeah I feel like everyone at work is going away or already away tbh.

I obviously mean it'll be alright to drink inside while everyone's outside.

Famous last orders words.

seeing this thread regularly bob to the surface like a recalcitrant jobby for days in a row has left me with the impression that drinking in london is a challenge akin to the moon landing

OK, I'm calling it. Unless someone comes up with a compelling argument as to why the Lord Clyde is, in fact, the better option then in honor of the former poster extraordinaire of the same name we're going to The Horseshoe.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:18 (five years ago) link

Both are equally shit for me to get to from work so I don't care but outdoor spaces are nice.

i'd long suspected thus from the cryptic hints you've been peppering through your posts for years now tbh

(Disclaimer - not actually been to the Horseshoe at peak post-work pub hours)

Matt DC, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:23 (five years ago) link

They actually took place in a studio backlot in LA.

Do you like 70s hard rock with a guitar hero? (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:23 (five years ago) link

The fact that it's in the elbow of a backstreet does help.

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:25 (five years ago) link

I'll be in town on May 9th.

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 00:40 (five years ago) link

So def the Horseshoe then? Anyone come up with anything better? It'll take me about an hour to get there so I should be there around 6:15-6:30. Looking forward to it!

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 18 April 2019 08:38 (five years ago) link

Horeshoe is cool with me.

My aspiration is to start drinking earlier than that but I probably won't make it earlier than 6. See you all later.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:07 (five years ago) link

I'm supposed to be working til 6:30 so I'll probably be there about 7, if management leave earlier then so will I

Colonel Poo, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:11 (five years ago) link

Horseshoe works for me. Solid unglamorous choice.

woof, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:11 (five years ago) link

I'll probably be there quite early, leaving my plan to not get totally blootered before the weekend in serious doubt.

Do you like 70s hard rock with a guitar hero? (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:12 (five years ago) link

If all goes according to plan I'll be there before 6 also.

(Also Tombot hooray we should have a pint or some pints, let us know where you're staying and whatnot and we can endlessly discuss where to drink and who's available.)

Tim, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:16 (five years ago) link

And hopefully have come to some sort of decision by May 9th.

Do you like 70s hard rock with a guitar hero? (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:18 (five years ago) link

Yeah well I don't want to get over-optimistic.

Tim, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:19 (five years ago) link

i will also be aiming to avoid getting too pie-eyed. probably i will also be there quite early.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:21 (five years ago) link

7:30 at best for me, given my work schedule. I will also have a stupid backpack w/work laptop in it, which is just ideal in a crowded pre-holiday pub scenario.

Likely in Sweden when Tombot is in the country - sorry to miss!

Michael Jones, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:34 (five years ago) link

I have short hair and am wearing black pants and an olive green cardigan but if fizzles and Tom D are there early I should be able to find them. If not I will post here and say hey, who are you?!? Roberto Spiralli is also coming but prob not there until a little later. See you all soon!

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:38 (five years ago) link

You might recognise me also ENBB, I reckon I'll recognise you from last time.

Tim, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:43 (five years ago) link

I also have short hair but my black/olive green combo is reversed (shirt/kecks). Phew!

Michael Jones, Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:53 (five years ago) link

xpost - I definitely will! I just couldn’t remember who else said they’d be there early.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 18 April 2019 09:56 (five years ago) link

If I am there early I will have a book, and will be all in blue.

Ward Fowler, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:03 (five years ago) link

my subconcious tribute to that thread!

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:06 (five years ago) link

One of these days I’ll come to one of these - I’m off work early today so it’s technically possible but I probably need to give my wallet and liver a break.

mumsnet blvd (wins), Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:13 (five years ago) link

obv liver and wallet are a priority (he said feeling guilty) but it would obv be great to see you for one even if it’s one lemonade.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:15 (five years ago) link

Agreed but also fuck a liver and a wallet imo.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:19 (five years ago) link

btw it is SO nice outside right now

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:20 (five years ago) link

it is amazing. really lovely.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:21 (five years ago) link

also fuck a liver and wallet obv.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:21 (five years ago) link

Well it’s 45 minutes and 13 quid on the train to London so I definitely wouldn’t be coming for one lemonade! I’ll give the angel on my shoulder a chance to say their piece for now but we’ll see. It is very nice outside

mumsnet blvd (wins), Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:29 (five years ago) link

The only way you get to be good tomorrow is by getting properly maundy tonight.

Tim, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:31 (five years ago) link

what would jesus do.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:35 (five years ago) link

get fucked up on wine he’d made himself with 12 other men probably

gyac, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:46 (five years ago) link

Jesus had to be back at work on Monday, we have an extra day.

Tim, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:48 (five years ago) link

*exactly*. jesus would get, to use Tom D.’s parlance, get absolutely blootered.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:49 (five years ago) link

quite. jesus died for our drinks.

Fizzles, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:49 (five years ago) link

rising again according to the scriptures is a kind of work

mark s, Thursday, 18 April 2019 13:50 (five years ago) link

I am a lot like Jesus
