I'll be in town on May 9th.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

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.
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

xp Admittedly he was moving on from the tough work of miracleing and what have you to more of a sedentary directorial position.

I am currently an 18 minute walk from the alehouse and I'll be setting off in a few minutes.
― Tim, Thursday, 18 April 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link
At the inn now, couldn't spot anyone so getting a drink and standing outside
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 18 April 2019 16:39 (five years ago) link
Omfg I am waiting for a call from the GP who was supposed to call between 2-6 and still hasn’t but I can’t get on the tube until they do. Apparently I’m 3rd to be called. Then I will be on my way from south Kensington. Ugh.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 18 April 2019 16:59 (five years ago) link
I have arrived and did not see a blue man, so am inside waiting to get near the bar. How do you people live with this shit tbh
