Ha! Just as well or you'd be quaking in your boots. She's even scarier than a drunken Portly pretending to be a dog.

she might not go though she might just give PoP a curfew or then shed

For the record, all the above re Mrs PoP was for a larf. She is an extremely nice person! Must be if the extremely nice PoP chose to marry her

OMG, that's a group of the real hard core drinkers...

Perhaps I should just stay home and wash my hair.

Bob, are you allowed to come out for drinks?? You are being very quiet about the whole thing

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 08 Dec 2006, 16:05

No, I'm still grounded.

Are you a man or mod?

Pretend you don't feel well, go off to bed early. Say it's contagious and sleep in the spare room. Then put some pillows in the bed, record some snoring and sneak out the window. Hang on a minute, how old are you? Come on, walk out the front door saying "I have needs as well".

Obviously he's a man not a mod, as the mods are all there on the party list...!

Moi? A hard core drinker? I resemble that remark

. The trick is to drink yourself sober which is generally what Marya and I do. Just for the record Mr E might gatecrash (again) and lurker Slimpickins might make a guest appearance.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 09 Dec 2006, 13:16

It wouldn't be the same without Mr E

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 12 Dec 2006, 23:11

Where are we meeting and what time? How about starting in the East at the seahaven or ormelie and going west? That way we will end up closer to el jefe in case he is able to make a late appearance.

Date: Saturday 16th December - 7.00pm start

Location: Porty-wide Pub-crawl (now, who was surprised that THAT was the winning option ) with optional pub quiz (Porty?)

We're open to suggestions, but S and me think the Plough would be a good starting point, with Dalriada/Ormelie the intended 'final' stop.

Please reply with your interest, or not, below.

this is where we thought we were starting

I'm working this weekend, so I feel an evenings absence may not be the best route to happiness...

Pal of Porty · Post by **Pal of Porty** » 13 Dec 2006, 13:20

There is no point The Dalriada being the final stop as it is a very early closer. If we end up at the Joppa end then it will have to be The Ormelie as this is a late weekend closer.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 13 Dec 2006, 13:37

PoP is right. The Dal shuts at 11 or 12. So what do we fink?

Its not as if we will be staying for a vast amount of time in each pub so there will be plenty of time to get along to Dalriada etc.

Sandra if the weather is anything like it is today, I suspect we won't move very far at all

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 13 Dec 2006, 15:48

Ok Plough it is then. Its not a bad place to get stuck if indeed we do get stuck.

gilo · Post by **gilo** » 13 Dec 2006, 19:34

I'm not used to crossing Pittville Street to the wrong side of town once it gets dark, is it safe?

if you avoid the daisy park

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 15 Dec 2006, 09:47

Is anybody up for pre-drinkie food?

I'm sure we could get an early table somewhere such that we could arrive for 7 with at least something to line our stomachs whilst not upsetting the liquid-only purists.

Bonoful? Kings Balti? Bag of chips in a bus stop?

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 15 Dec 2006, 10:01

Very sensible. Count me in.

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 15 Dec 2006, 10:42

Right - I'm going to book somewhere and we can add heads as required. Even if it's just me and Epy we've got enough to spraff about although it would be lovely if Mrs & Neo Dadaist were able to attend. Watch this space.

Curry Ahoy!

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 15 Dec 2006, 11:02

I'm working in town till six - food would have been great but I won't be back in Porty till about 6.45-7...with an empty stomach. Save me some pappadums.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 15 Dec 2006, 11:04

I'm up for it and so is PoP how about 6pm at the Kings Balti. I dont want to be still eating poppadoms at 9 30 when everyone else is getting ratted at the Plough.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 15 Dec 2006, 11:07

Is it pappa or poppa?

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 15 Dec 2006, 11:09

I'll phone the King's Balti at lunchtime and make a booking with a provisional number of heads.

foxy · Post by **foxy** » 15 Dec 2006, 11:25

Count my head
