Ear worm time: "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman"

my sister lives in HCMC so I've just asked her if she can send me over one of the filter devices... looks simple brew method, maybe good for travelling/office (without condensed milk, with normal coffee)

Aeropress - the only device you need for simple travel and office, non?

I think we have a date!

**Wednesday 19th September 2012 @ **http://www.edinborocastlepub.co.uk/
After work, sometime around 6PM.

(Sorry hoefla!!)

OK since it's my first, some brownies will be there. You know, new kid wants to be liked by the class at a new school :)

... it represents this place. and also cos the design is pretty cool.

Agreed!!! Couldn't have said it better :)

Liking the "Ladies" and the non-gender-specific

anyone fancy a hit after work? intermediates, somewhere central Lon.

Cool! Good to know, thanks!

Any other takers? Or am I just (potentially) baking brownies for 3? :)

Anyone got an opinion on the Toddy?

I got an Aeropress and love it. Keen to try a Toddy.

Doodle for dates - http://doodle.com/hq9uscnwfndd7kna

I was thinking http://www.edinborocastlepub.co.uk/ Thoughts? I haven't been there but always cycled past. Big beer garden, and so that you could do some laps around Regents Park before, but not after.

"Please, drink responsibly"

Men's yes! It's all in the spirit of the forum. Non?

I dunno, I'm new to this but I think the criteria is:
central
bike parking or beer garden to bring bikes in
non-chain pub

I will doodle laters for date. Got to run.

Would anyone be up for a Sept (my first) ladies drink?

Jeez. Ppl are getting stabbed for their bikes now?!?!

I think the boys are jealous ;)

I'd def chat up a boy who was man enough to wear one...

-=Challenge presented=-

36x18 - I love that mixte! One of mine's a mixte...
If I see it, I'll have a chat to her...talk some sense

Why, what's wrong with it?

All your cross thread marketing worked! :) I'm in.

MEAT AND FISH - You could get Mark from Marky Market to deliver to you tomorrow.

He is awesome, it's also good to support a small "trader"

I hope so....oh, you're like the avengers!....

So I've been thinking about this and haven't found an equivalent thread so thought I might start it.

If any of you have seen the Museum of Broken Relationships you might see where I got the idea from.

Repurposed for this thread, basically the idea is to post any bikes (or parts) that you have tried to build/built for your gf/bf/wife/husband before it went sour, or bikes they have left abandoned (a symbol of the relationship), or that were the spoils of war after a custody battle, or ones you have destroyed in fury/revenge, etc...

A bit of a story would be the most interesting part, so please include your story...

I thought it might be interesting/hilarious.

Unfort I can't go first, no guy has offered to build me a bike, so I built my own. Maybe that's my story?! :)

Keeping them in the box preserves their resale value...

Guys, need a recommendation of somewhere i can book a table for 8 for a week on friday

Chinese is out, and theres a member who doesn't like red meat (so a straight steakhouse is out).

Budget is probably £20 a head + drinks for a decent main and maybe a starter..

We're based in camden, but not all that fussed about getting a tube somewhere, preferably not south of the thames though..

Mexican? Might not be for everyone, but is in the hood.
http://london.mestizomx.com/menus - you can get a few things for £20.

Also - Every Thursday from 7pm till late we serve up great music, fresh tacos for only £1.00, and Corona Extra at only £2.50.
I should stick this in the cheap eats thread...
