I was in the Granite in dubious company; a poster from Newcastle and one now living in Newfoundland. No bodily fluids were exchanged.

I quite liked the Rose and Crown, I used to go there when I had a, er, friend who lived on Roehampton (one block north and east). I believe it`s gone now though.

I think I remember the Rose and Crown from when I was in my early 20's. The Granite is one of the few places in the area where bodily fluids are not exchanged.

Well, there`s a lot of that in Toronto. Even that innocent looking building near us labelled The Barn and The Stables turned out not to be for equestrianism, I need not have carried a bridle.

You must be somewhere near us then.

I enjoyed the pint or five at the Granite as well as the dubious company. I can confirm that all bodily fluids were kept to ourselves. (Aside from Novo spitting in your beer when you went for a piss but he's from up norf so what do you expect?).

You haven't been around very long, have you? I usually suggest High Park, but our resident sage did that already.

Lately, it seemed to me you've been suggesting RH more often than HP.

I'll try to remember for next time

Did anyone ever mention the encrusted body fluid situation you had at the TO meet-up last March?

That very much depends on when it is. As I have mentioned, I'm off to Brazil tomorrow. When I get back next Wednesday, I foresee a couple of weeks of hard and frenzied labour. I'll then be going to the UK on the 11th Feb and won't be back until the 24th. I am, however, coming to TO in early March (arriving Sunday 1st, probably late, and leaving Tuesday afternoon). The Monday is looking hopeful. I got my act together this time and booked myself into somewhere within staggering distance of the Yard. Crawling distance, to be more precise.
