'Course you can. Everyone else is welcome, too. Hadn't decided a time, but let's say 3pm in the Old Vic unless I post otherwise.

Is this now classified as an 'official' BE meet-up? What day are we talking about by the way?

That rules me out as I'm going to an Oktoberfest thing on Friday. Shame really as this pre-AWOL crawl sounds like fun. Maybe it could be repeated on an occasion which doesn't coincide with Eid.

If some sailor went missing around Dublin from a visiting ship or whatever, there is no way we would have a bunch of squaddies (be they British, French, Emiratis wherever) running around the place searching for him. uniformed or in fact worse in civvies.
They go to the police like everybody else

Ooh no, we only intend doing it once. Well, once this month, anyway.

I haven't Oktoberfested in Dubai yet--any suggestions (without trying to sound like I'm trying to gatecrash)?

I'm going to a tented affair in Grand Hyatt with a big group of people. Never been before but having checked some pictures I found on through Google I'm not expecting the other people there to be particularly young nor beautiful so I should blend in perfectly. As long as they serve beer in 1 liter steins and I can get my hands on some pork sausages I'm happy...

A German friend of mine loves it there and goes most nights. He may or may not be wearing lederhosen...

Don't know if you need to book or not, but don't think so unless you want a big table with a group sitting together..

BTW MODS are people too :-D

Arrogance of youth vs the condescending older generation.

Immovable object vs unstoppable force?
