Re: Christmas Shingdig in Toronto :
We usually do The Scotland Yard. They have a room off to the side that's a bit more removed so it's more conducive to chatting and such, plus they do separate bills without any fuss. Decent drinks selection and a good food menu, plus seems to be accessible to pretty well everyone since it's about a 5-6 minute walk from Union... so until anyone voices any strong objections I suspect we will just keep it there!!
(The only other place I know that does separate bills for large groups without making a fuss is The Three Brewers at Yonge & Dundas... but I prefer Scotland Yard, personally!)

Nightmare finding parking near Hooters and the food isn't for everybody.
I did once meet LMartin and LondonMike and perhaps Oakvillian??? at the Firkin On King.
We then embarked on a short golden era where we once got drunk at Dan Keough's on the Danforth and also had a sample of us head to a curry house in Midtown around this time to.
A golden summer.

Scotland Yard is convenient for transit commuter and driver.

Ah yes, that lost evening sitting on the back patio of some godforsaken Plastic Paddy pub near the Danforth music hall. Some things never change: James drank beer with bits of fruit in it, and ate sweet potato fries. I have the vaguest of recollections that my journey home that night involved a taxi back from the wrong end of Burlington back to Oakville because I was blissfully snoring my way past my station on the last train out of Union...
Game on.

Hahaha. The past few meetups have been tame in comparison - there was the one I missed back in May I think when Twitcher left her glasses bheind and I think that one was a big night, but the ones since have been rather laid back... disappointing, crew. This will need to be fixed for the next one.
Game on.

Then you can sit back and laugh at the debauchery.

I drove everybody to a restaurant, didn't drink and ordered a 20GBP ish meal... I still ended up having to pay for the petrol to run everybody around and I also contributed to their booze bill. Think I paid roughly 25GBP for a glass of tap water...
