CC London Spring Party - ALL BAR ONE - THE SHAD: Fiday 8 April

[Davywalnuts]

Quite possibly... Will be out if the office by 4pm (latest).
Doesn't look like much choice of lager on tap! Might have to resort to draught Aspall. This could get messy!

Excellant, really cant wait!

So it could be you, Martin2358132134 and me catching the world go by early hours, sweet!

Aspall, on tap??? Oh dear.....

Hmmm, Frank, maybe two laps, as long as theres no "mixers" mixed in....

 

[Davywalnuts]

no to chain corporate pubs with ghastly canopies and faux cobble river frontages

no no no

Yes to fake plastic women in short skirts and stumbling out of a pub onto uneven surfaces for a bubble.

Yes yes yes

 

[Tynan]

when there's nowhere left to drink in London other than All Bar Ones it'll be YOUR FAULT

I might have to abandon the wine and join you on the Aspall! No more on call weekends for me

Hmmmm, reminds me of that film, "Demolition Man", where theres only Taco Bells left as the only place to eat...

But hey, your only young once and ill suffer when am old, but until then, heres to the pretentious enjoyments in life, as looks dont last forever...

Becs, excellant!! However, none of that sissy funny tasting Aspalls please... god, am sounding like Tynan in my disaprovals!

Tynan, I want to buy you a beer just to recognise your sterling efforts to support the noble cause of drinking good beer in a good pub!

 

[Tynan]

we'll have to go to one together then won't we ...

I daresay on the day it being local and the promise at least of a bitter will get me there but I loathe places like that

I can't see the bloke in charge of the bar being too on the ball ina place with all those lagers and a single bitter

I went into a very old fashioned pub in Catford to kill an hour last weekend and was served a first class pint or three of London Pride so I'm not in the mood for anything dodgy

I have spoken

 

[slowmotion]

Can I put in a plea for a pub, not a "Bar"? Any on the list look more attractive than ABO.

Not that fussed, just stating a personal preference.

 

[Tynan]

vote for Crown slowmo!

Blackfriars is a concrete graveyard

and no, slomo is not an alias

 

[slowmotion]

vote for Crown slowmo!

Done!

 

[Tynan]

good man

frankly I suggest the four of us that have voted for the Crown should go there instead

Why the Crown? It's too bloody busy and it takes you (average Friday evening) 20-30 minutes to get served. Not an enjoyable experience.

That sort of defeats the whole purpose of these non cycling events. This is a chance to get together with fellow CCers for an enjoyable evening.
It's always going to hard to please everyone so sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

I've said previously that the All Bar One is far from my preferred destination, but am still happy to attend if that's where the majority will be and I can get an acceptable drink.
If you just want a good beer you can do that any time and at any place you choose.

 

[dellzeqq]

well I've turned down an invitation to a 3D filming of the ballet at Sadlers Well for this, so you lot had better turn up!
