    Its blocked from the corporate tinterweb. Don't know why people can't just do a thread that they add their name and preferred date to here.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    White Swan in Twickenham? A shadow of it's former self. I'll be in the Sussex Arms tonight. I know it's short notice, but, 18 hand pumps and music played on vinyl.

    Oh no, I mean the White Swan in Stokesley, just behind the bin wagon (about 250 miles from you). Sussex Arms looks good though. One day I'll meet you there for a beer......

    If you leave now you might make it in time to see me fall out the door.
    Enjoy. :D

    Vermin, maybe we should go to a pub to do the wheel hand over and anyone else can join us if they fancy.

    Yep. I've had the nod on the wheel, so that would be good. However, I do need a decent attendance to show off my tarty new bike.

    You'd definitely like it. Unfortunately I don't get there often enough, another SCR outing perhaps. Got drunk enough to think walking home was a good idea. Oops.

    Only from Kingston so shouldn't be too bad. Unfortunately I can barely pull a brake sober so with added lubrication it could be a problem.
    You coming for a swift half?

    Surely every person that turns up is the last man in at that moment... ah, I see how this works.

    Boffin arrives at 5.15
    5.20 Veronese turns up, Boffin says "Last man! Mine's a Doom Bar"
    5.25 CC turns up, Boffin says "Last man! Mine's a Doom Bar"

    repeat throughout night.

    5:20! Chance'd be a fine thing. Leave work at 5:30, avoid going to shite pub around Feltham. Home at 6 to dump car and change, train to Vauxhall then a leisurely stroll over the bridge to find Boff face down in the carpet at 7:30.
    There's a plan.

    I'm going for an Xmas drink at midday today and am currently lining my stomach.

    Going here: pub

    If anyone isn't being dragged shopping or such, I'll see you for a pint.

    That pub is the only reason you'd ever get me near Kentish Town. :shock:

    Tis very good though, the pork baps are most excellent for making you more thirsty! :D

    new cross is on my way home but Greenwich and blackheath aren't a million miles away so I'm easy...

    Forgot about the possible SE drinks. I'm possibly free next Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday if anyone fancies a pint or two round New Cross / Dulwich / Greenwich etc.

    Weds or Thurs, NX or Greenwich best for me (Dulwich is nice but a bit more of a pig to get to). Werk do on Tues.
