Basically,I'll be on my way home to the seaside and it'd be good to see people...

Right, as this is short notice and I need to know what's going on tomorrow evening (as that's the only time I'll have net access while I'm in town) I'm not having the usual six page pub choice discussion.

But so as not to be accused of imposing my will on you free spirited revolutionaries and because it's in the spirit of Blind Date, a choice of three easily findable places near Oxford Circus.

In order of (my) preference:

a) The Social, Little Portland Street. Which I I really like and is bloody handy for me tube/bus-wise but I suspect will horrify most likely suspects. Usually (this may be outdated) quiet/a nice break from central london hecticness on weekday eves.

b) The Blue Posts. Most people know where it is, it's a Sam Smith, comfort and familiarity.

c) The Shaston, Ganton Street. A random convenient pub that I haven't been to in years, but which several people I know recommend.

As Our Graham would say...

"Will it be 1,2 or 3?"



Make a decision, I'll be there from half six.
If no-one fancies it, I'll sit and read Albert Camus and look soulful.

Any is fine (if I'm not working) - won't the Social be rammed by 6:30, tho'? It's the size of an atom... as such, I might go for (2), but I'm easy... and probably working anyway. Don't mind me.

Yeah, in general I'd always be the person saying that the Social is a good thing (they have good hip hop nights every other Tuesday, although I haven't been in a while), but it's also not really somewhere you can get more than four people round a table at the best of times (I've usually gone later than 6.30 but I think it gets a post-work crowd as well). The music may well also be louder than some Barbelithers will find comfortable (if conversation is also desired). NB I'm talking about the downstairs bit here, the upstairs bit I seem to remember is quieter in terms of volume but I have never, ever seen it less than packed.

So I'm going to think of others rather than myself, as is so often the way, and vote for (b).

For clarity, we *do* mean the Blue Posts on Newman Street, yes?

A rather bijou barbemeet so far - shall we say 6:30 at the Blue Posts? I reckon I might even be on time today...
