    Steve - seeing there hasn't been enormous interest for this evening (MTFU people!), suggest that we leave it unless there's a number of last minuters keen on some beverages.

    No worries Si, this afternoon turned busy at the office anyway. Seems we are creatures of habit when it comes to the Friday beers...

    Seeing as I only got into the office at 3.45pm I need to get some stuff done first, what time are you thinking?

    JG surely you need a beer after this mornings trauma?

    I do too, but I've picked up a tube cold. Bloomin' tube.

    The Innis & Gunn taste trial concluded that the best of the 6 I tried was the triple matured blue box, and the worst was the canadian whisky barrel red box.

    The second best was the IPA, followed by the rum barrel, followed by the normal oak aged. The blonde was just OK.

    What JG said. I'm not a massive fan of I&G if the truth be told, but I'm liking the sound of the triple matured and IPA.

    Where abouts in the Morpeth do you guys congregate (although I doubt there are that many cycle clad drinkers!)? I've not got my lock with me, is there somewhere very safe to leave the bike, or someone who can loan me some protection if I come along ;)

    I'll be down between 5-5.30.

    Usually congregate along the eastern side of the building on one of the benches on
    Ponsonby Place

    We usually sit outside so can keep a very close eye on one's steed which can be lent up against the railings.
