    I’ve got my jab on the 14th you bunch of b&stards.

    So do I. Bit behind schedule.
    Don’t be late.
    Already deferred once, as was the day OH was due out of hospital and I wanted to be sure I was not dying of side effects.

    Means I will likely now have Pfizer instead of Astra Zeneca as the recommended age range changed in interim.
    I meant to London drinks 😂
    Other than the fact it will be about 4am for me when you’re all at the pub, I’d happily join via interwebz…

    It's probably worth setting your alarm for. Even if it's just to see Seano coming round from his general anaesthetic.

    So far we've got 5 takers if you rock up as well. Thought you'd want to show off your uber cool M65 jacket?

    From the pics in the daily thread, you should organise an arm-wrestling competition at drinks.

    Wish we could still visit random branches as I’m sure the one near v68 could do with a visit

    I can only imagine that some people have done a lot of tugging to get forearms like that :p

    Ha the Morpeth arms still send me emails offers for free drinks, I guess after all those years of SCR events they miss us

    I did think about the Morpeth, but if trying to coax Ben from the frozen wastelands of the north and Stevo to the East, nearer Waterloo might be better

    OK Gents, here's the plan: we'll meet at The Understudy, next to the National Theatre on Upper Ground SE1 9PX. 6:30 kick off. In case of crappy weather I have a back up option near Waterloo Station.

    I’m in! This may mean everyone else is out 😂 I can drink on my own at a nearby table if necessary 👍

    Call yourself a Northerner? :) Forecast is OK but just in case I've got a back up venue by Waterloo station.

    Just had a call from the hospital, they had a cancellation so I've got a head scan at 8am on Thursday morning. That'll be fun with a hangover :D

    Do you need proof to reserve a table for 6?

    That might explain the headaches.

    Bizarrely headache is no worse the morning after if I keep it to about 5 pints, more than that and i feel it.

    Just called - they said you can't reserve in advance but should be no problem getting a table at 6:30, so first one to rock up bags a table and then we can play 'spot the tw@t' as people arrive :)
