How bigs the upstarirs at the Prinny Lou? Count the Ship out, which is a Pirate pub, because that place gets fucking rammed after 6pm on a Saturday. Probably better music though. Anyways, I may spend a Saturday having a look around the centre of town, perhaps we need a new place to go. ---

Upstairs at the Prinny is about the size of the left hand side of the bar (the bit where the fireplace is and the stairs down to the pissers). > [@](#): > > Anyways, I may spend a Saturday having a look around the centre of town, perhaps we need a new place to go. Thats not a bad plan actually. Fancy some company when you do it? We could probably drag **timbob** out too, although we’d probably want to avoid bringing **Neville the Hutt**. ---

It would have involved baking. And since I’ve been stupidly busy all last week (and this) apart from when I was watching **Bonzer** make lego dinosaurs, I never got chance. Ask **Garius** about them - he ended up with the remainder of my chocolate covered espresso bean cookies last time. ---

_bump_ We have two tentative dates for the pre-New Year Fest: 27th November (which most people seem to be going for) or 4th December. Anymore for anymore? ---

I’d second London, cause the vast majority of BritDopers are based in the environs thereof (note: I did not say all!). There’s something called a ‘pub’ which we all tend to pile into as well. I’m not really sure what one of those is. 😉 Anyway - the intrepid **Paulberserker** , and **Garius** were going to check out some establishments, any luck there guys? Plus, shall we book a restaurant for some point in the evening as well? ---

Will probably do it (the pub checking) on Saturday, i’m meeting up with Garius and Rekkah in the afternoon. Bring you drinking hats kids, it’s going to be carnage. ---

> [@](#): > > Anyway - the intrepid Paulberserker, and Garius were going to check out some establishments, any luck there guys? Oh right. So we’re meant to have done that already are we? Because, you know, obviously\* me and paul do nothing else than spend our time in the pub. Is that what you are trying to suggest? Like, you know, we don’t feel like we’re alive unless we’ve got a fucking pint in our hand?! What are you trying to fucking say **Angua**? That i’ve got a drinking problem? Go on. Say it. Say what you’re fucking thinking! I DARE YOU! :::ahem::: Sorry 'bout that. 😉 Nah, we haven’t had a chance yet 😃 ---

I don’t see it as a problem, more a virtue. I had about 12 pints and vodka last night, and will probably do the same again tonight. I’M NAILS! ---

> [@Angua](#): > > You know **Paul** , its a wonder your liver isn’t porous yet… How do you know it’s not? Just popping in for moral support, as I’d love to go, but depending on timing and such, I don’t know whether it’ll happen this time around. But if I don’t make it, have a Diet Coke for me, willya? It’s easier on the liver. ---

My liver is squidgy, made of plastic and kept on my desk next to my pc. If you pcik it up and look at it sideways it looks like a lady’s rude bits. ---

I’m game for some liver damage, but as I am a transplanted Yank might need good solid directions… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uk-autumn-winter-dopefest/265127.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uk-autumn-winter-dopefest/265127.md?page=3)
