England : London CycleChat London Drinks 12th December

[Beebo]

I believe the arrangement is "You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave."

That only applies to the CycleChat Californian Xmas Drinks party.

Shhh!! Adrian wasn't invited to that.

 

[redfalo]

Count me in.

We are all just prisoners here of our own device.

They haven't had wine for 45 years now, but pink champagne on ice is available, and, if you're really lucky, colitas.

I'm just waiting for somebody to air guitar the solo.

I'll do my best to make it. Sadly my kids have moved back to Brighton so I won't be able to crash on their floor.
Maybe I won't get completely bladdered this time.

Good morning, Tim. You missed the rehearsal for your proposed party...it's unlike you to miss a trick. However, it was magic and a 'Great Super End-O'. Only one problem; it took me forever to vanish and I self-misdirected. It's hardly worth the bother...

I've got a good trick with a cactus...

 

[mmmmartin]

I'm in

An invitation from my former employer may have thrown a spanner in the works.
A) I have accepted a free meal (as a Struggling Pensioner I cannot ignore the chance of a free meal).
B) I will be wearing My Suit
C) So I might be late when I turn up......
D) and pissed

What time are we thinking of?

Sadly I'm taking my team up the NatwestTower and then for tapas. I suspect the attractions of a train from Liverpool Street back to the wastelands of the Northwest will be greater than the thought of trogging down to the frozen south, even to meet up with you lot.

Since I am being deserted that evening (see above) I might come along. I will probably be wearing a deeply regrettable jumper, which I will have bought specially (for http://www.cclg.org.uk/support-us/cclg-christmas-jumper-day) so I apologise in advance!

Simon says he is going to take me up The Tourmalet. Is this advisable?

I'm taking my team up the NatwestTower

This sort of thing seems to be catching. It might be advisable to check your tyres first because I seem to recall reading on the internet that it is wise to have a decent rubber with you. I think that's what it meant, anyway.

Mumsnet:

My DH says he wants to take me up the Oxo tower for Valentine's Day...
...but I must admit, I have my reservations.
It's not something he has ever suggested before. And we've been married for 15 years.
I'm quite adventurous and open to new experiences but really, I have to say this has taken me by surprise.
Has anyone else been taken up the Oxo tower? Was it an enjoyable experience? Would you recommend it?
