London Christmas drinks

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Mon Nov 19, 2012 7:56 pm

As we approach the festive season, it's time to mark our calendars with the 4th 606v2 London drinks - Thursday 13th December at the Market Tavern in Shepherds' Market, a stone's throw from Green Park tube. As always, all will be welcome, the more, the merrier - there will be banter, lively discussion over the merits of pie, and the odd jape or three. Look forward to seeing the usual posters and hopefully meeting some new ones too

Oh the dilemas - will have to see closer to the time - but pencilled in, just in case I can arrange stuff

I will make the 200 mile drive just as long as HERSH is going.

Morbid curiosity getting the better of me.

But you've been tipping Wales to win this weekend AWoP ... Whistle

by anotherworldofpain Wed Nov 21, 2012 11:03 am

Well then I win either way.

Unless the mods are buying the drinks with the proceeds from the advertising on v2 of course ? Whistle

by HERSH Wed Nov 21, 2012 1:24 pm

Unfortunately due to a silly superstition that I have I never leave the house on the 13th, so I won’t be able to make it again. Sad

Have a great time my fellow 606ers. guinness

Of course! St Lucy's day...how could I forget. How very Nordic of you.

Admit it Asbo, the location is informed entirely by the fact that you're close to John Lewis on Oxford Street, which means you stagger there after an afternoon on the sauce, having worked up the courage to buy Mrs Asbo that 'daring' set of underwear you've had your eye on.

As ever, I will be finding myself slightly too far away to get to the bar (about 4,200 miles to be exact), but I'm with you in spirit. London Christmas drinks 1145808659

Lucky AWoP, right next to his place of work. How convenient!

I bet you would criticise both.

Great idea, Hound Dog

, get some early practice in - let's hope the v3-ers turn up as well, proper reunion it'll be

by Suspicious lurker Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:06 pm

I posted about this on v3 as well, there seems to be a couple interested in showing up

I heard at least 2 of the v3-ers will be present, Rav - not a bad turnout for a fledgling outfit

by thebluesmancometh Fri Dec 07, 2012 10:49 pm

I might be very tempted to drive down from South Wales, curiosity is getting the better of me and I would be very interested to meet a certain few...

AWOP
HERSH
Roger Lewis
and a few others.

Has anyone confirmed from South Wales yet?

So there really is a "v3"?
I just did a search but couldn't see any link to do with rugby.

Yeah, can be there, will be a little late but drinking properly again

by Bathman_in_London Mon Dec 10, 2012 1:05 pm

Sadly this clashes with my work Christmas bash, so I won't be able to come, hope you all have fun!

by **Biltong** Mon Dec 10, 2012 1:08 pm

Couldn't get a flight, so I won't be there. Whistle

I'm curious about this too. I haven't seen anything. Must be some elite club that doesn't allow any old rabble... Whistle
