South East beers - Tuesdays @ The Roebuck, SE1 4YG

CJames - meant to ask how the peas are this evening!!!

missing the ipa and wasabi peas tonight....have a good one!

twas good and the peas strangely had more of a kick on them :-)

tooted at all the lovely cycling boys as I passed in my car on the way home tonight

dratt i missed that, i must have been inside chomping on my steak so to speak.

it was lovely to see you all tonight, new faces and oldish.
an evening full of incidents, i wasnt there so i cannot tell the story. that can be somebody elses job :-)
gormley and i managed to leave before closing time which was a first for me i think, its good to know that it can be done.
sweet dreams everybody.

Lovely to see everyone again. New faces, too: WVM popping his SouthEasties cherry popsicle, good to meet you mate - I owe you a pint.

Likewise, was good to meet you all. Will endeavour to make it again although being a cycling weenie I will wait for a decent westerly breeze to help me home rather than the 21:54 from London Bridge ;)

As for those wasabi thgings, I can only describe them as 'unique'. Moreish in a sadistic way.

Gerald, (I remembered yay!)

Ah sheeeet I was busy at trix until quite late so I missed SE's, maybe next week!

...an evening full of incidents, i wasnt there so i cannot tell the story. that can be somebody elses job :-)

well, some fotoshoots for the poster going on but i'm sure you mean the flying fists of some random teen 'gang' mock mob of first like 3 or 4 trying to 'play' with a passer by. as he flew to seek shelter in the herd of ppl infront of the pub,The Saint_"What_are_you_doing?"Gormley went to intervene. before i knew there where good 12/14 of them in the street, general shouting, punches exchanged and tha' mob on retreat. before we all figured what went down and the cops arrived it was over and The Saint"Dam'_i_saw_my_glasses_spin_off_my_nose."_Gormley had his pint replaced by a fresh drought and all went back to bikes slowly as more of 'us' arrived. hope he is still feeling good, the adrenalin can play tricks on you.

so nothing to special for a london tuesday as some said ... pfffff.

Nice to meet a few more people last night. Those kids were insane some of them were really young. I remember a 10 year old girl who thank god didn't participate in the fight. I should really learn aikido instead of qikung. What were they going to do to that guy if he hadn't managed to escape..... Brrrr

gormley you should have stuffed that kids mouth with your whiskas pelletts hehehe

@tommy nice one thanks for the info.
@veevee i had not heard of qikung, just had a look on youtube thanks.

damm those pesky kids! good times at SE again. I need to work on my confilct resolution training..

wow missed all the drama last night then, didn't get there till about half ten, so just had a quick pint with fatpants and stallionlegs. what's all this people leaving before kicking out time nonsense anyhow!!?

damm those pesky kids! good times at SE again. I need to work on my confilct resolution training..

Hahahaha! Gormley, I think repeatedly shouting "Oi! What are you doing?" at the kids was definitely more intense curiosity than conflict resolution. However, well done to you for getting involved. And well done for managing to save most of your pint after getting sucker-punched in the face and tripped by a child's discarded bicycle. You are my hero.

I think maybe we should start calling Gormley Wyatt Earp. Or The Peacemaker. Or maybe I'll keep brainstorming...

gormley annan

damm those pesky kids! good times at SE again. I need to work on my confilct resolution training..

Seems like i've been missing out recently. I need to get my priorities straight & get over to SE's next week.

@ Temper do you still have laminating sheets? I can cycle over to you later on today if your free. I found the spoke cards i did up fuckin ages ago, I've about 25, I'll bring them along Tuesday.

If you bring them, I'll sort the laminating out. I have a big run to do for my wedding anyway. That's for official wedding stuff. I'm not handing out spoke cards at my wedding. But hang on... its not a bad idea.

:)

@Reen: Brilliant description - reminded me of Jack Kerouack at his best!

@ Reeen, i'll be there for a bit tonight. Can you bring my shirt along? Catch ya all later

I'm running heavy with dead inner tubes Ciaran, and have remembered the pedals.

Line me up a pint of the black stuff [/racism]

I'll be there about 6.30. Charco, would be keen to catch up if you're about then.

yo! charco, got it with me, will come in a lil later than the usual 6.30 though, try make an appearance once the mob has sattled and the cops are gone ;P see ya' all soon. dam' the thirst *gnah!

If only the KA kept the sun a little longer- that said some shade might be quite welcome today.

You could all chill in the sun by Ken's house.

what's up with everyone going home by about ten these days! i thought people would be more up for staying out later now the weather is nice and warm. anyway good to see the hardcore remaining, gina temper and reen! i'll have to try an get down sooner.

Hey guys, for all those that haven't seen it yet, details for "The Emma memorial ride" can be found here: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread24568-2.html
It'd be great to see as much support as possible for a fallen cyclist, and there will be a prominent reading of some words from friends/her partner, in addition to filming by the bbc going on for some hopefully positive publicity for memorials and the ghost bike movement also.
