I'm never the youngest one anywhere any more

I'm guessing it's okay to bring any Aussie spouse - hope so because Sal's coming!

Mind you, I do remember one BE-er who spent 6 months persuading the Aussie partner to come to a BE night out. She turned up once, next thing he knew he was in the divorce court

Dan - do come along and join us, I 'm sure you won't regret it!
Definitely up for it, the Pig is my local too as I only live round the corner. I just didn't want to turn up and be out of place as I'm 27.

Anytime from 3pm onwards.
The Carbery's won't be able to stay too late so we'll start early

There's usually a long table in the outdoor area, by the street, on the lower level, if thats free it usually becomes the gathering place.

I will revert to my custom of old and try to remember to bring my purple witch's hat to put on the table! and I'll aim to be there by 3.

Being 27 is fine, younger than some of us in age, but we are all pretty young in spirit and attitude!

I aim to be there by lunchtime as I need a bit of practice before the rest of you get there.
