If all goes according to plan i will be nestled back into the bosem of my dirty little city at the begining of Dec. I will be needing plenty of english libation to ease my self back into the northen hemispere's rythem, and knowing our contingents iclanation towards a tipple i thought that we could have a festive do. One that doesnt invole telling your boss to fuck off, photocopying genitailia and getting off with the office bike (unless you really want to).

so any one fancy a bit of a doo around the teenths of dec?

what happened mate, tell one too many whinning aussie jokes after the rugby world cup and get deported?

Let's see - pretty busy up for the first three weeks of December. And that puts us very close to the whole xmas stuff that will be happening. But what the hey.

I'm good for anything as long as it's not this weekend (got plans already); the weekend of the 13/14 (as will be in NYC then, actually from the 11th to the 16th) or the 19th (works do).

Other than that I'm easy, but then you knew that as you've seen the graffitti.

i WROTE the grafiti dude, i dont get back till about the 7th and even then ill still be all jet -lagged and settling in and shit so im thinking ill be alright about the 12-13th type thing. What day would that fall on? we can do a week day right? its not as if any of us have jobs or anything?

To be honest my head is having to be pretty together sorting out my ticket home so i will think more when i can spare the brain RAM.

If you do stuff around the 21st - 23rd I stand a chance of being there. Otherwise: no hope. Sorry. I'm about the weekend of the 13th/14th but that's when Swish is in New York.

Speaking of which - a trip to New York - congratulations!

oh shit if your there mage ill probley get hidously pissed instead of nicly toasted *sigh* ok if thats the way it has to be.

potman we will probly do the usual and start at the Brair rose or factotem and then see where the night leads, is that cool with everyone?

ok then, the 21st, is that too late for peeps?

and whats with the trip to NY my enegamtic globe trotting freind?
 
 
adamswish
17:49 / 03.12.03
at last people who don't threaten me with violence when I mention my trip next weekend (okay you've not had to listen to me harp on about it everyday since I booked it middle of october).

the 21st is good for me. People do know that's a sunday by the way?

And Puck since when have you needed mixmage as an excuse to get hideously drunk

Only question is where and when do we start
 
 
adamswish
19:11 / 08.12.03
may I be the first to welcome Puck back to Blighty, Ha that will teach you to brag that you're not going to see another winter for a few months.

And secondly, bumping this back up and asking the same question what time do we start on the 21st and where are we drinking first?
 
 
mixmage
22:49 / 08.12.03
Ha! Cheers Swish!

I'm the bad influence here, eh? Please note, I haven't been chucked out of anywhere since you left... in fact, the last time I got ejected was YOUR leaving party.

hmmm... there may be some correlation
 
 
The Puck
21:29 / 10.12.03
Hmmm yes i AM back in the cold.

Swish im thinking the Braiar Rose (if its still there) as for time, being jobless im flexible.

I'm not sure I'll be up for getting wankered as that will be my first free off for at least three weeks.
 
 
telyn
21:37 / 10.12.03
(oops posted too early...)

I won't really know until that day I'm afraid. I'll probably wander a long to say hi even if I can't face drinking though.
 
 
higuita
11:10 / 11.12.03
21st? Sigh. If my liver's still alive, I'll try to be there.

Welcome back, btw. Be good to have you back although this thread has pissed me off. I haven't seen swish for a couple of days, and he's mentioned his bloody NY trip in it twice!! Arrgh!

just for y .

Briar Rose sounds good Puck, how about we say between 2 and 3 on the Sunday. That gives those with busy weekends (which includes me I'm afraid but I have no problem with abusing my liver, bastards got it coming if you ask me) a chance to recover and for the others to brace themselves.

Harmony, don't worry about the level of drinking, we're merely looking at the worst/best case senario here. Just because there's Puck, Mixmage, Pots, y and my good self doesn't mean it's going to get into a drunken mess.

Hang on who's there (quickly re-reads the list). Maybe I should re think this. Still, least we can drink heartily, not like those southern softies who can't face going further north than Camdam
 
 
telyn
00:32 / 19.12.03
Well I am a southern softie but I quite like Scotland... erm?

Don't be Swish. No one who seriously turns up for long is going to leave sober. On that note may I recommend rosey nosey, not only for its stupid name or cheapness, but also niceness as a spoons beer.
 
 
The Puck
01:26 / 19.12.03
Okay remeber people thats THIS sunday, and for the sake of clairty shall we say 3 o clock, between 2-3 is a bit vauge and i can see me having to wait for an hour on my own in a pub with no music and strange smelling old people egaer for a conversation with the young attractive guy with a brolly who are imunne to my fuckoff vibes.

drink of choice if someone lands before me- gin and tonic with ice but make sure they put the ice in first

Mix- no red alcopop+ lager combinations, i might die

Swish- how much do i owe you for the t-shirts?

Y- stop playing the "grumpy old git" card, inside you beats the heart of 16 year old park drinker, its time to get in touch with the cider swilling vandel inside you. PS is your delightful better half turning up?

Harmony- sorry to hear about the gig, maybe its time to drown your sorrows?

Puck, I got into enough trouble with my better half after your leaving do, when I was found wandering the streets of Northfield with a can of castlemaine in my hands and rambling about being the king of the badgers.
Anyhoo, I've got an xmas do today and the missus' birthday saturday, which is why I fear for my insides. Swish will be at both, but he's bigger and thus more capable of dealing with lots of liquid sloshing around inside him [or at least that's the rumour from certain NY bars].
Should you wish to wish the missus a happy one, we'll be in the victoria at about 4pm on sat, but we will be shooting to mr egg for a slap up so won't be there all the time.
I will endeavour to be there on sunday - I'll invite the missus.
And I don't drink cider.

Notice that they have changed the sign from "eat like a king for a pound" too "eat like a queen for a pound" which when you think about it more appealing to there hurst street clieantle, its good to know you going sunday il see you then.
 
 
Potguns
02:00 / 20.12.03
A lil bit down the road you can eat a queen for a pound :P
Along with this, legs 11??? Who wants to go see strippers with an odd number of legs?

Urrrm Dont know if I can make it depends on finances and the fact that I had my face shot with lazers on tuesday, so if I do turn up i'll be *quite* distinctive

Sorri couldnt resist the Birmingham Jokes.

Pot.

I'm sorry I'm deserting this city for the south (like the pansy I am) so I won't be about on sunday. My ma was ill last week so I'm going back to look after her + sort out christmas stuff.

I did the drowning of sorrows on thursday night. There was a get together afterwards - fucking odd it was too. Some nice people there but I've never been somewhere with such a disappointed atmosphere before.

Drat - one day I'll get to meet Y.

I shall be about more frequently in brum next year so it's not quite so bad. Pancakes at 3am could be arranged.
 
 
adamswish
14:12 / 22.12.03
well that was a resounding success I feel. Civilised drinks and not one early causalty amongst us.

And may I note that it was Puck who started on the stronger cocktails and neither mixmage or my good self initiated this action. By the way Puck what the hell were those cocktails anyway?

Still it was good to be in brumaloids compnay and good that we laid out several plans for forth-coming adventures around and about our dirty little town (and beyond).
