so wednesday yes?
think i’ll be taking thursday off too then 
i don’t mind if we do the phone thing or the bus thing.
If we are doing the phone thing though i’ll need to give peeps my new mobile number.
Wednesday is the day. I have to be back in Brum for a group meeting at 1pm Thursday, so I’ll try not to get too tipsy. 
It might be worth giving people your new mobile number anyway - just in case we get lost/seperated…
bumpity bumpity bump…
common yer boring bassturds!
i think too many people don’t want to go a drinkin’ on a school day…
There must be more Real Ale fans around, let’s try to catch some vanity searchers - Sir Doris and Crusoe come to mind.
I’d love to go there, but I’ll be on the wrong side of the North Sea during the festival. Have a pint for me, please.
Ooh, a big group of my friends is going there in the evening of that day, I could join you lot in the afternoon and then move on to them in the evening. Or I could take some of you over to join with them if you don’t mind the thought of hanging out with 30 or 40 drunk lesbians
I’m afraid I can’t make it - am working at a client that week and have no holiday left to take this year. I’ll be thinking of the beers, though.
Not sure if this has to do with the OP, but my fave Brit beers are:
Boddingtons
Old Peculiar
Whitbread
Just thought I’d share.
Time to drag this thread back to top. SciFiSam, if you do want to find us in the afternoon, send me an email and I’ll send you my mobile number.
I just (hopefully) secured a new contract… Wednesday 8pm… so in theory, although I could come down for the beer fest, I’d have to leave early and I don’t think it’s gonna look good if I meet a new client three sheets to the wind… 
Boo!
Hope you can make it Tir, how about bringing the client to the fest? Get him/her ratted, then slip a couple extra zeros onto the end of the quote price on the contract.
Great British Beer. For some reason that is an oxymoron to me.
Email sent, kferr. I shall be there in the afternoon with a non-Doper friend (and then the others in the evening).
I’ll also definitely be there - possibly with a non-Doper friend in tow too. Kferr an email is winging your way…
Now that is ignorance that needs fighting
Both emails responded to. And I agree, racer72 needs several pints of re-education!
I didn’t previously know if I’d be able to get to this, but it looks like I can. Can someone confirm the latest plans for us all to get together? And can I just turn up and buy a ticket on the day? Kferr it might be good to swap cell phone numbers if you wanna email me privately. Ditto for anyone else who’s gonna show up.
Tir - you’d better be coming along to this as it’s my only chance to have some drinking time with you before I leave for 4 weeks in Oz and miss the next Londope! Clients be damned… you can always get another client, but you don’t always get a chance to enjoy some decent beer with the man who introduced you to kaboom paper, now do you?
Let’s drag this thread to the top one more time. ianzin, I’ve just e-mailed you my number, I’ll be there from around noon until I fall over.
I will be attending with a mate from about noon too and will also be staying until i fall over.
(About 15mins probably)
