North Drinks. Every Week, Wednesday 6pm - The Maynard N8

So the only update of the flask was this neat toilet seat handle

That was pretty nice in fairness.

Did I miss you Mick? Damn it, when did you leave? Fuckin' lightweights leaving before I arrive.

Sorry dude! I ended up leaving around 8 or so but will hopefully be up more often from now on. Now that I don't live in Forest Hill nor do I frequent Norths my hill-climbing skills are horrible, gotta remedy that!

was really great seeing some familiar faces, I wont leave it so long next tine

Dave - Muswell Hill Peloton made an impromptu bike pile at 35kph out in the Hertfordshire lanes - there was much blood and grinding of carbon. I have a sore shoulder, and a few lumps and bumps, need a new helmet and a few stitches in my fave jersey. Should be fine by Roubaix.

Grim. But sounds like it could have been even worse. You've got to be better for Roubaix... I'm going to need a full team to tow me, probably sobbing, to the end!

Ouch, hope you're ok.

You don't get those kind of shenanigans on a WNKR ride*, come join us on 18th.

*unless badgers are involved

whoa! when did this happen? You seemed fine when I saw you in Hyde Park yesterday .. heal up

Ha - I'm hiding my inner pain (and riding my motorbike quite a lot)!

I wonder if the Flask is getting some Guinness in for St Patrick's Day?

Hope not, let the navvies drink down the hill.

The keen eyed amongst you might have noticed that Guiness has also returned to the main bar...

Very good news!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

See you all about 8ish

I'm on the full suspension 29er today so it will take me most of the night to get up that bloody hill.

See you after 8 - getting a 'bakky' off Ramsaye*

*not really - got Son's concert to attend first.

any earlier attendees?

was gonna pop by for a few sips of the dark stuff en route homewards..

Will be there shortly.

I'm having a night off on compassionate leave. In my absence, feel free to raise a glass to occasional unofficial North's dog Nellie, who sadly passed away today.

Always managed to remain dignified despite the company she sometimes found herself in.

Ahh - sorry to hear that Brun

Sleep well Nellie

Potential pics for Flask to post.

3sheds has a good one but I thought one of these might be good. @sasmon can you post your suggested pic up please.
