FNRttC - drinks, Feb 25th Xhibit Balham 2011

[dellzeqq]

'Er indoors is having a bit of a do, and is relying on me to boost the ne'er-do-well quotient. As there's no more reliable way of lowering the tone of any event than to invite the FNRttCers - consider yourself invited. Just don't turn up in lycra.

I will research bike parking, but there is a train service from Croydon, Victoria and London Bridge, and it's on the Northern Line.

Is us youngens okay, if we promise to behave and what sort of a "jolly" is this?

 

[StuAff]

Thanks for the invite, will attempt to raise rather than lower the tone

 

[rich p]

I scrub up well. Many thanks

The 27th? A Sunday? Woo-hoo! I'll be there.

Ta for the invite !

I'll be there and I'll be bringing Patrick, Crankarm & Spire with me - in the Hummer.

Will it be Black or White tie ?

Now, where did I leave my spats ?

It's a posh do then.

I guess I could dig a pair of trousers out from somewhere.

not that posh, but bear in mind that there will be young people there, who view people 'in their prime' as an embarrasment. And lycra doesn't help

I've made a mistake. It's on the 25th. At a place called the Xhibit. Whatever that means. I'll ask Admin to change the title thread.

Xhibit- just googled it- awful spelling, isn't it?- Shoreditch (yawn). Presumably there'll be a bike space or two, I'm presuming all the fixie hipsters don't bother with those! 25th is a Friday, but I have leave available so shouldn't be a problem.

Edit: Whoops, bar in Balham of same name....

Best I give my apologies then. Had enough of them and their all to easily embarrassed psyches over Christmas and the New Year.

What is wrong with drunkenly singing obscene songs in the restaurant of a 5 star hotel anyway?

All the more reason for you to attend, I'd say. They're the ones with a problem, not the likes of you and me!

 

[Aperitif]

Nothing.
Not the 'Old Kent Road' again, Greg?

Indeed. and something about working in a big shop in Chicago

 

[StuartG]

OMG is this the same Balham that gave me my first shelter in the metropolis (nowhere rented cheaper).

And now even a dress code! Well for you Dell I shall ditch the lycra and go buy my first pair of baggy shorts. It's that or the flairs

 

[theclaud]

Brilliant. A nice way to ease oneself back into the drinking season. Can I bring The EFG?
