Meet & drink - mark your calendars

First topic message reminder :



Fellow 606v2rugby-ers, with Yule and the winter solstice fast approaching, it provides the perfect excuse for meeting up for drinks with some fellow enthusiasts. We've got two opportunities in the offing:

1. On Thursday 8th Dec. (6pm onwards), we will be meeting to bid adieu to my compatriot, funnyExiledScot, who returns north of the border to take up residence once again in his homeland - the venue will be the usual, the fantastic Ship Tavern in central London. fES has suffered the trauma of being a Scotland supporter living in England with dignity and calmness over the last decade, but with Scotland's stock on the rise (?!) he returns to Edinburgh to book his slot on the bandwagon. Please join us to send him off in style

2. On Monday 19th Dec (6pm onwards), we will be meeting for festive drinks, also at the Ship Tavern

The usual suspects (KiwiRedDevil, Hughie1986, The_Hound_of_Harrow, RiskySports, OzT, nickj, fES and myself will all be there and would welcome all comers to either or both sessions - with representation from Australia, England, Ireland, New Zealand and Scotland, we've nearly got all the bases covered, but there must be a few Welsh, South African, French and Argentine posters out there that would complete the group.

Just remembered, the book's called the Book of Fame by Lloyd Jones http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Fame-Lloyd-Jones/dp/0719522943

Train tickets booked. Looking forward to seeing old, and meeting new, friends

Hi all. Sorry I couldn't make the 8th. I will be there on Monday though. How many are turning up?

Hound , should be a fair few - usual customers plus a handful of first-timers but not new faces (swanny and Gibson), plus a genuine 606v2 London drinks wirgin in yappysnapp (an maybe some others) - I'm reckoning on about 10-12

Cheers As

I'm in Aldershot Monday so if all goes well I shall try and get over to see you all.

Grand, Cymroglan, first one is on me

Very much looking forward to seeing as many if as you as can make it to the Ship tonite, for final leg of 606v2 Rugby's festive meets. Should be plenty of old faces, one or four new, some , and some fine chat. I'll aim to be there from 5.30pm

Train at 3.00 pm, see you later!

Apologies all, going to have to miss tonight. Car's knackered and need to pick it up from some bloody expensive garage in Wimbledon, so I can get my Chris Rea on for Christmas. Have a cracker

Guys, I've got to go to a work leaving drinks but will try and head over afterwards, we'll see how things go...

Won't be there till bout 7.30ish peeps, see ya all round then!

Grand, yappy, look forward to meeting you sir, we'll be the noisy group ordering 'Black Bush'

What sort of bar is it we're going to? And how much is black bush?

'Tis a fine bar, plenty of spit, sawdust and pies, and they do a lovely Black Bush behind the bar

Is it a nice drink too?

Asbo will be singing this again:

...and a wee heavy and a half piiiint!

Cheers for a very good night gents and lady, was a pleasure and I look forward to another meeting soon.

Sorry I couldn't make it, was yesterday.

Though it sounds like some of those who went may be today

Urgh, got home at seven this morning, bags packed then out the door to Gatwick, sitting on the plane now. Pleasure last night lads and swanny. Must be done again soon

Great to meet Swanny and Hound again. Asbo & Huggie in fine form.

Yappy and Risky are sound geezers. Walked me to the London Tramline. No horses to pull them though. Bit of a cockup/delay on the Central Line ...

Was "it" still there Asbo?

Almost exactly 24 hours after departing I'm now back home.

Thanks for a fantastic evening fellas, it was great fun!

Good too see you all again, and some new faces.

Glad the bar has sawdust on the florr, mops up the beer that seems to escape from Asbo's hands

At least he was considerate enough to miss my jacket this time :-)

Good times and have a great Christmas
