London drinks

A few of the 606v2 worthies are getting together in central London this evening to quaff a few , probably some , definitely some , and by the end of the evening likely some as well. We'll put the world to rights, predict the RWC winner (incorrectly), and in the morning hopefully not feel too . Feel free to join us (The_Hound_of_Harrow, funnyExiledScot, his most high Moderator-Administrator-ship , hughie 1986, RiskySports, and likely a few others) - we'll be at Ye Old White Horse, 2 Saint Clement's Lane, London WC2A 2HA from about 6 onwards

I wont be there.

Promises, promises, Hobo - no need to give everyone else an incentive to turn up!!

I would have been there, but I stopped working down South just over two weeks ago.

If I don;t have to go elsewhere this evening I'll be there, bout 6:30'ish you guys going to be there? It's sort of on the way to Waterloo and gives me chance to miss the rush, or for them to sort trains out of they're delayed again

Good man, OzT, it should be an entertaining evening - a Kiwi, an Englishman (or two), an Irishman, a Scotsman (or three) and an Aussie - what can go wrong?!

Sounds like the start of a joke!

Might well finish that way too, Bathite!

Sounds great, just a shame its so far away!

Have a good one peeps!

Big G, hoping to catch up with you at Murrayfield during the 6Ns

Sounds good man!

I hope that you guys have informed the Met about this dubious gathering.

Don't give them an excuse to restore the Combination Acts.

Bringing back transportation would be a better option.

I've got my ticket already and a spare if anyone wants it.

On Youtube you might want search for Sham69 Hurry up Harry.

Not sure if the Yt link is allowed.

Portnoy, Am assuming you'll be on the 16.12 from Felixstowe? Can you ring half an hour before you arrive?!

Sorry folks, I'm working late tonight, otherwise I'd have been there.

The next time you plan something in London, give me a shout!

IB, will do

Just like the Scotland rugby team, most of the Scottish posters seem to be Exiles too!

Who is exactly residing in NZ? I am man and up enough to meet most here I imagine! I can even go an evening drinking Waikato Swamp water, Lion Red and a few jugs of Speights although bloating is expected LOL


Good chat, good kai and good beer is the emphasis of the evening, night and early morning.

Taylorman and Nganboy are in Wellington, AucklandLaurie is in Akld, I think the rest of the kiwi contingent are ex-pats. Though no doubt I've missed someone

Would have been there.

Except I moved from London in December.
I got tired of waiting there after ten years.

And the train never did bl00dy show up.

I would love to be there tonight... I can't wait for this to become a reality. If they can stretch the burn time from 12 seconds up to about 3 hours...

Well I reside in the Mid Far North and I guess I will be drinking with people from Japan, Tonga and Canada....I cannot recall the other club and can not be bothered looking lol.

I am hopeful to get to Wellington for the Wales v SA game and also to Hamilton to the Wales v Samoa and Fiji. The Welsh game v Namibia is well out of range in N Plymouth.

Fact is I will be in Welsh red with inflatable objects as well as man made and will be proud to wear them. I think it is up to the Kiwis to get into the excitement of things.....and I am too big for many to bleat on about my attire for too long in a gobby way:)

When Wales (possibly) lose I will return to a small wee township known as Rawene in the greatest part of NZ THE HOKIANGA and will watch the rest of the matches with my greatest mate Jack Mokoraka a wonderful Maori gentleman in his late 60's who is like a father to me and his wife Rita. An ex Northland selector and Maori representative he gives me all the cultural support and friendship I require. For Jacks 65th I bought him an Irish jersey as his roots are from Ireland, he also respects Wales as much as Sir Colin Meads does (read quotes from Sir Colin)

After all said and done, wen one talks and reads such pride and respect from true NZ legends, isit really worth listening (or reading) rudey poo posted by gg et al.

That's weird, its taken me until today to get onto 606 v2 since following you all over from the old 606. I've checked in occasionally and loved the banter but not posted. Now I see you are having a pint over the road from my work. Would it be ok to come along? Anyone wearing a carnation, don't have the more obvious strip with me?

Welshjohn,
You are a little concerning with your 'inflatable' man made objects.
I am assuming nothing inflatable looks like a woman? You would stand out on TV

Ok what time does ye Ole white Horse neighs away then? I reckon I can get there for about eighteen thirty, or 6:30 pm for others... what time would people get there and how would I know who is who?

do I really need to wear my corked hat?????

or carry a rugby ball???

The more the merrier mate.

I'll be there by 6, look out for the large bloke with a blue shirt & glasses - check your messages in a sec.

Nice. 6 it is. I'll be the ginger locking his bike up

Inflatable objects include daffodils and sheep. Man made is my 8' leek which is a bit of a beauty. An inflatable woman would be questioned by the human woman in my life. I will be standig by my wife and I assure you she would be grand on TV.

You'll find 'em... Have one for me, will you OzT? (I'm a "T" too)

Glad to know your put your wife ahead of the inflatable woman. But, in some parts of the world, an inflatable sheep and woman are interchangeable.

What a big leek you have, mate. Can't wait to see you on TV.

OzT/nickj, I'm wearing my work clothes - a black polo-shirt and a pair of baggy shorts today. I'll also be there from 6-ish, probably talking to whose self-description is above

Who was incorrectly tipped to the RWC out this year then?

GG, Privileged info - you'll have to turn up next time to find out!

PS very good to meet up with nickj and OzT for the first time too

Typical, arrogant English once again thinking everything revloves around London.

Hmm, that would have been the 1 Englishman out of 8?!?!

Hmmm kinda like the English cricket/rugby side then (delete as required)!!

LOL!!

Sorry guys, just couldn't resist that!!

Was great catching up for the drink, very sorry I had to go early but next time we'll paint London town red!!!

Cheers chaps. True gents the lot of you. Sorry I had to head off early doors too.

Cant make it but will be there if a meet is arranged on the weekend England play Wales at Twickenham Aug 6th.

Like an Welsh back rower arriving at the ruck.

GG It's now the 20th of July August is next month

The Virtual/Real Pub- London section, is growing nicely.

Good work As & Hound. Spread de rugby love. And the pints.

There was this Kiwi, an Englishman (or two), an Irishman, a Scotsman (or three) and an Aussie all in a pub discussing the world cup. One of the Englishman says...

Make sure one of you finishes the joke off by the weekend.

Good stuff. Might check out any 606ers in the Wellington area when the cups on...
