I did indeed. I think they’re going to be useful, seeing just how hectic that week is going to be, and how little sleep I’m probably going to get! There will also be white chocolate chip cookies (to prove that it can be done), milk chocolate chip cookies (to pay of Gyrate, and ginger cookies (to keep Twisty and Tir` happy). Oh, and mince pies as well
As for timing - my train gets into Euston around 12:10, all being well. So hopefully we can be in a pub soon after that??
When Twisty stays over I get up early in the morning to make him a cup of tea, I also make toast, and cos I’m not really supposed to take food upstairs, I wrap it in kitchen roll and hide it in my pockets…
not supposed to take food upstairs? where do you live, a halfway house or something?
freedom of choice is important my mate, and should include the option to eat wherever you like, especially in your own abode.
I’m breaking lurk mode to say I love that, paulbeserker. One of these days I’ll actually join in one of these threads and come all the way from sunny Southend-on-Sea to a LonDope.
Me, I shall be around from Friday afternoon.
Tht means that a) I can spend Saturday morning doing secret and dirty things.
b) I can turn up at whatever pub wherever whenever.
c) I am around on Friday night for possible dinner if anyone’s interested.
Dear Tansu, I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say that any clarification of these plans would be very welcome. And JPEGS. Not that we’re a prurient lot whose principal source of excitement is idle vicarious fantasy based on your reportage… or anything like that. Not at all. We all lead very rich, interesting and fulfilled lives, you know. It’s a wonder any of us make the time to post here or come to Dopefests at all.
If there’s a good enough clump of Friday eveningers, we might do a sort of ‘warm up’ mini-Dopefest, sans Anguacookies ™ and mine pies, sans quiz, but reduced to the core essentials of a pub and beer. Just a thought. The pubs tend to thin out a bit once the office crowd have enjoyed their Friday evening P.O.E.T.S. pints and gone home.
what pubs do you go to where they ‘thin out’ on a friday night? I go to the west end more or less every friday night and they get busier and busier IME.
