Friday Drinks

Orwell = Gheyness to the max

Effra, anyone? winky, winky

Orwell = Gheyness to the max

Who cares what Max thinks? ;)

where is the Orwell?

actually, can't be arsed to leave the house. Still wet after going out for samosas earlier.

So who's heading to the Orwell (and I presume you mean Essex Rd) ?

It's 1/2 price pizza for me in Clapham South tonight. Sadly I won't be frequenting the Orwell, Effra or any other shady venues with you delightful reprobates this evening.

Next week. From Blackfriars to the Effra then rolling into Hootenannys...

Well the drinks at the Orwell were low key.. but it was great hanging out and actually having conversation :)

I enjoyed my brief foray despite the low key-ness.

My tweed jacket and wallet were safe! The birthday girl was really quite far gone. She was very excited to see me reappear and gave me a hug, but couldn't really talk...

I quite enjoyed the ride back to Covent Garden and back too, although I am quite tired this morning. Normally extra miles are to be welcomed, maybe not after a bottle of house wine and a pint of bitter.

Shame you couldn't make it, Nhatt. The Orwell really feels like a living room away from home and it was a lovely evening.

I lay no claims to being well known around these parts, but after just over 7 years I will be leaving my first Real Job(tm) to start another.

If anyone fancies turning up for my leaving drinks on Friday they will be most welcome - The closest not-totally-shit pub nearest to the office is the Old Tea Warehouse on Creechurch Lane. Plan is to stay there for a pint or two so that I can say farewell to people from the office who have homes to go to and then to head for food at My Old Place on Middlesex St (Chinese, huge, reasonably priced and tasty portions; card machine is guaranteed to be out of service, so cash only). After that the plans are wide open. Shooting Star a little further along Middlesex St?

Consider this an open invite.

Gav86 - youre useless... You think that early morning "im a piss head post" is after 10?? Where are you?

Does after 11 mean im not an alcoholic? I think so, any suggestions for tonight?

Some of us are going to the Cask and Kitchen in Pimlico tonight. No other reason than that jcgarcia recommended it. Great beer selection, apparently. I should be able to make it for 6. Anyone else?

Good lord! Judging by the map that used to be the Pimlico Tram... One of the deadliest boozers in Pimlico in its day... Tempted but no bike today so gonna have to skip it... Could be tempted to have a quick jar on the way home tho'... ;]

Gentrified, innit?

blackfriar or miller anyone? need to stay fairly localish

Gentrified, innit?

Pimlico's always been gentrified... Council estates on one side of the street, poshos on the other...

blackfriar or miller anyone? need to stay fairly localish

Up for Miller, have to be around that way tonight anyway.

Will probably be around there around 6:30ish

I'm going to brave the hellish storm out there to get to the Cask... I might go via tube though lol

I've just realised I'm way too tired and need my bed soon. Sorry, lame, I know, but I've been gradually falling asleep at my desk. Kirth, you have PM.
