February Beers?
 
Afternoon campers,

You're all suffering from a busy workload back after Xmas, the resolutions are starting to slip further than the zip on your undone trousers at 5pm on Xmas day. You're wondering when the next holiday is, why haven't you got anything to look forward to? The kids just broke the iPad you bought them. The car battery needs changing because you didn't do it before the hols. You've been asked to go to Qatar or Saudi next week for meetings. You've forgotten how to swing the 6-iron and no have no go-to club. Life is shit.

I offer you, the misery-laden folk of BE a way out of the doldrums and into the light.

Beer.

That magical, golden, beautiful nectar solves problems faster than Millhouse can describe the layout of every design of house on the Ranches. Faster than Auto can say that Andy Murray isn't boring and EVEN FASTER than Patsy can say 'daaaaahhling' 100 times. THAT FAST.

Potential days are normally Tuesdays/Wednesdays, let us all aim for Feb.

Tues 5
Weds 6
Tues 12
Weds 13
Tues 19
Weds 20
Tues 26

Do any of those dates work for you folks?

I would like to come. Any of those dates suit me. However, wouldn't a Thursday be better? That way, we don't have to worry about being hungover the next day at work...

Weekends are for going out with real friends...

The general consensus is as Meow says, that weekends are generally snubbed for family / non-internet-weirdo types.

I'll probably be visiting sometime soon. If it coincides with your get-together it would be good to see if there are real people on then end of those user names.

And beers would be good, too. I'm missing them...

My post-xmas bank balance just winced at the prospect of me considering a beer.

Myself unfortunately..I usually get up on a Friday morning just as my wife is returning from her Thursday night out..we never have a thursday night babysitting issue in our household.

I don't suppose there's any chance of choosing a no smoking venue? ;)
