Welcome to the boards.

As Ray said there are quite a few of us knocking about on here.

I have only recently moved here, to the Denver area (Capitol Hill) last December. I'm originally from Leigh, which is around Manchester.

I'm on 13th and Franklin - just across the road from the Streets of London and the Irish Snug. We should meet up. Tarkak and Anabella - will you be in town anytime soon?

If you arrange something I'll aim to make it.. I go to Boulder often, not to Denver so much but it's close enough to drive :)

Boiler is in Boulder also, he might be interested in joining us.. Oh! and Hypertweeky is in Parker I'd love to meet her too..

usually grab a pint or two with others on a monthly basis around Denver or there abouts - so yeah we all ought to grab a pint some when.

Annabella, how often are you around Boulder? Stumbling ground of years ago.

At least once a month. OH has an office he can work out of there so he goes when I'm off work and we go together. Go down on Sunday and come back on Monday (sometimes Tuesday, in my off-season)..

Seems like you are just up the road from us, we live on 11th and Sherman (Poets Row).

I have never actually been to the Streets of London Pub nor the Irish Snug although everytime we pass them on Colfax we keep meaning to call in one day. We've only really managed to get down to Pints Pub, The Auld Dubliner and various places downtown, namely Nallan's around 14th and Market. Although we spend most of our drinking time at Charlie Browns since it is only half a block from our apartment.

Anytime you want to meet up, just give us shout.

One thing peeps don't realize is that Boulder has the Shelby Museum where they have a pretty impressive collection of Shelby's - which you won't necessary care for but your OH might... except that's one place you shouldn't prat about like nick cage in search of 'Eleanor'.

Would like to meet some people in the fort collins,windsor,greely,loveland area. We have a 8 year old son who would also like some new friends. Arriving right before school ends was bad timing.
