I thought monks wore habits too, with or without a cowl, and cassocks are what priests and altar-boys wear.
These are examples of episcopal cassocks. Worn by Roman Catholic Priests
What Connery was wearing is a Cowl.
right, as I was trying to say yesterday before the board got smashed to bits,
those cassocks rock! get a big fuck off sword to go with, and its a beer crusade!
look how big my username is! and look how thin the boards become!
will it ever return to the old school shape…?
Fleurk. :eek: Just so long as we stay in one pub. You don’t want to scare too many people. 
I sometimes wonder where my reputation comes from…
I see myself as polite and well behaved in social circles, especially delightful dinners at friends’, the theatre and box socials.
Of course you are paul. Why would we say anything to the contrary?
Ha! I am glad that I am not the only one who noticed that
But it’s a shame that there is a mini Londondope, now that I’ve returned from London. It was a good, little vacation (31st of Dec 2003 to 6th of Jan 2004). Now, I don’t have that much pub experience, but from the places we went to, I’d recommend going somewhere in Camden Town. We were at the “World’s End” pub and the “Underworld” club and both were pretty much my taste: 80s music and a lot of dark dressed, interesting people
Well next time Optihut strat a thread with the dates you’re gonna be in London, and we’ll organise somethign around you!
Any excuse for a piss up! 
You mean we need one?
Wait just a cotton picking minute…
Bibliovore (who is hotter) than hell in a kilt!!!
Damn career. Damn huge expanse of ocean between here and home
Did I miss something - I couldn’t read on after that?
I’ve always wanted to do a LonDope, but the thought of a 10 hour plane ride always put me off. The office just called and it looks like I’m going to be in Reading the next weekend. I believe certain gods are conspiring against me. :mad: Oh well.
As Tir pointed out earlier in the thread, we need only the flimsiest excuse to organise a piss up; when Coldie and Heliose came over we had a mid-week piss up. I’m sure we can arrange some sort of get together for the next weekend…
is the next weekend in february? if so count me in. If not then you’d have to count me out (for monetary reasons).
Twisty will be over to see me that weekend, if we can get ourselves out of bed I’m sure we could arrange something.
I know a few other dopers are usually around at the drop of a hat too.
Reading to central london is about £9 IIRC, and you could bring Frannie with you she’s up for it!
Its the 31st January…
close enough. I get paid on the last day of every month.
Hmmm… I wonder if I can afford the £21.20 for the open return down to London…
Beer’s on you then!
You must LURVE February!
Angua you’re such a lush! 
Hello pot. This is kettle. You’re black!
Mind you, that said, I don’t know. I’ll have to see how work and other stuff is going.
Yeah, but hate January (because in December i get paid on the 21st rather than the end of the month.)
January is a loooooooooooong month
