Teh Plough

17:00 / 29.11.06

Hey, it's been a while since I went to the Plough and got embarrassingly drunk with Barbelith people. I'm thinking of going there the end of next week (Fri/Sat) if anyone is available, who's up for it? I was going to pretend it was a Temple meet or something, but frankly it's all about the drunken homoerotic-subtext-in-Transformers arguments and conkers.
I also thought this would be a handy thread for next time we do the same thing.

17:03 / 29.11.06

That's Friday the fifteenth or Saturday the sixteenth of December, for your diaries.

17:07 / 29.11.06

Payday! What an eerie coincidence.

19:20 / 29.11.06

I vote we make it the annual BarbeXmas bash. Which means £5 Secret Santa pressies! (and also, it's a couple of weeks before my birthday, so other presents would not be refused.... :] )

Working, unfortunately. And surely that's not actually next weekend but the weekend after next?

12:35 / 30.11.06

end of next week old bean. Not the same as next weekend, is it? Silly Stoats. Do you *have* to work?
Yeah BarbeXmasbashpatrolgo! Generic novelty £5 presents all round! Would people lean toward a Saturday afternoon or a Friday Evening timeframe? I'm inclined to Saturday myself, a more relaxed affair.

I'm more inclined to Friday for post-work drinks...

15:59 / 30.11.06

Possible. Also I have to backtrack and say Stoats was right and I was completely wrong, I am days ahead of myself. The 14th is payday for me though so that's when I'm going, any more votes for Friday night?

Next week is the week after the one in which we are currently in. Therefore end of next week = the 8th, when you will all come to Poptimism. But I'm up for meeting the weekend after too...

Most Saturday afternoons/evenings good for me...

17:25 / 30.11.06

Friday is better for me.

20:41 / 30.11.06

Well, depending on which next week we're actually talking about... if by next week we actually mean NEXT WEEK, ie: Monday 4th of Dec to Friday 8th, then Friday evening may be doable but Saturday afternoon would be alltogether easier and sexier. If by next week you actually mean TWO WEEKS HENCE, ie: Monday 11th to Friday 15th, then neither Friday or Saturday of that week are that good, indeed they are rather bad, like Santa going down on a ferret.

22:56 / 30.11.06

I could do Friday 15th, Saturday 16th is bu hao as it's my bro's fiance's b-day and there will be a whacky combination of ice-skating and alcohol.

If it means we see Santa going down on a ferret then Friday evening it is!

As the artic survey team said about the shapechanging alien:

"Are we doing this thing or what?"

12:08 / 11.12.06

Is this this weekend, now? The discussion so far has a coptic tang to it, which is at least appropriate...

19:27 / 11.12.06

Friday would be better for me, at this stage, because Saturday night is a party which I don't want to turn up to too drunk already... First person to say "Just exercise some self-control!" gets the gunfingers.

14:34 / 12.12.06

Friday! At the Plough! Five quid Secret Santa!

Sorted.

11:47 / 13.12.06

Vaguely contemplating coming, since I am tempted to go to London for the Pillow Fight. Although I should attend a work-related Christmas party instead really. Decisions, decisions.

bill me later

12:49 / 13.12.06

hmm... busy as hell but then it is friday night and it is teh Barbelith Xmas bash... i will endevour to attend.

What time?

I'll be there from five, probably wearing my festive Barbelith T just to provoke Joe-Damage-I-U. Hey ES if you come early I'll challenge you to a game of Tragic, geeky geek geek!

15:42 / 13.12.06

Sounds like a Bat-plan. I'll be finishing work about half-three so will get my good self down as soon as possible.

If more than one person wears that t-shirt I will walk straight out of the pub. Seriously.

The Strobe

16:13 / 13.12.06

I will probably come to this.

I will not be participating in Secret Santas of any form.

16:22 / 13.12.06

Seems doubtful I'll make it, as I have work and no dogsitter and it's a weekend. Which is a bit of an arse, really.

If more than one person wears that t-shirt I will walk straight out of the pub. Seriously.

It's so tempting to see if this is a bluff.

I will not be participating in Secret Santas of any form.

How about Secret Santana? Bring a guitar along.

Secret Satan? Each person gets assigned another at random, and gets to make off with the soul of their firstborn.

aim for joviality

17:32 / 13.12.06

Is anyone able to ask the Plough to stock up on still mineral water (as I think last time I drank them dry of it)?

rizla mission

18:54 / 13.12.06

I'm hopefully off to see Billy Childish's new group later on Friday night (anybody want to go??), but depending on how things pan out I might well make it along.

22:48 / 13.12.06

I will be there! sans secret santa.
