Default Calgary lunchtime beer - Weds. 1st October

I shall be leaving Canada for the very last time () on Weds 1st October. I will be delighted to stand a few rounds of drinks if anyone wishes to join me for a lunchtime pint before I head to the airport.

Seven years and 1 month, it's definitely time to go home. I have mostly enjoyed it despite all my grumbling on here, and I've enjoyed the time wasted with you lovely BE-ers. Hope to be able to share a drink with some of you before I go. I'm not really as big a knob as I come across on here.

Ceili's on 4th Ave from 12:00. Oh, go on then, twist my arm... 11:30.

Calgary's a bit far to come but I will see you for a lunchtime pint in Norfolk next Friday?

You couldn't stop by Vancouver on your way back?

obviously this is very tempting, but suspect I will be tirelessly working in science and engineering,

Best of luck with your next project

Can't you just tell them you've got "women's trouble" and nip out for a quick half? Would be truly lovely to meet you.

No nipping out from the NE to downtown. Relocate to near the airport and deffo!

You might abandon Canada, but you can't abandon us! You never come across as a big knob, you are one of the nicest and funniest people on the planet...it would be worth a trip to Calgary to take you up on the beer. Hope your last while in Canada goes really well....you'll miss it next February!

aww shucks, but if I thought you meant it I'd stop off at New Brunswick with my bags and move in.

It's sad, though why isn't quite clear.
