wow, you came over just for the dublin beers then ? awe, that was so nice!
I wish WWM could have made it...actually I was in london for 2 1/2 days I wish I had thought about it sooner or I would have suggested we all meet up for drinks!

Next time so!




it may be sooner than you think if I am lucky!

The only thing that keeps me sane in England is regular trips up to london to get drunk with some Irish and Kiwi friends... that and the money, its nice to earn more than 'just enough to eat and keep a roof over your head' like I did in Ireland.

Anyhoo on the 23rd I'll be back in Dublin for two weeks of drinking = \o/

BuffyBot

Not quite, I moved back to Ireland at the end of October! I'd missed all the other beers, as I wasn't around so I was "convinced" that I had to go to the last one

This forum gets a lot of views, dunnit?

I'm in White City

Me as well in a month

BossArky

I'm living around Algate. So where to meet up and when?

p.pete

Well, if anyone is actually interested in meeting up I suppose somewhere central to allow for people coming from different directions and a weekend as that's when people are likely to have time from work....

tHE vAGGABOND

pick a date and a location, otherwise we will all sit here

like we have done for the last couple of years

p.pete

Seemings as I'm fairly busy over the next few weekends I'll throw out a few Saturdays when I'd be about - June 4th, June 18th and then July 2nd and 16th.

Could aim for June 18th (pretty much 1 month from now) and I'll suggest Waxy O'Connors (pretty close to Leicster Sq http://www.waxyoconnors.co.uk/london/index.asp).

I'm not that big a fan of Waxys - just throwing it out as a suggestion, it's reasonable central and there's a good chance a fair few of us know it already. If there's any other suggestions I'll be agreeable

[btw - what would the chances of us getting a "London boards beers" banner put in the add space up top?

BossArky

June 18th sounds good for me. Cannot do the 4th or 11th as I'll be in Greece.

Is that place you suggested a good place to sit down and talk or is it jammers?

p.pete

Tbh I've only been there a handful of times (mainly due to living in Reading). It was very full for the Ireland England rugby match and later on a Saturday I guess it'd be fairly packed. So if anyone can recommend any decent pubs on the outskirts of central London (say Camden or Fulham) like I say I won't object.

[edit]
I both defence and attack of Waxys - It's quite a large pub with lots of twists and corners. Good point - we can probably get our own corner of the place in which we could make a much or as little noise as we wanted. Bad point - if we don't recognise each other then it makes it hard for us all to find that little corner. Good point - we could probably pre-agree to a corner of the pub to meet in. Bad point - if that plan needs to change I think mobile phone reception can be crap in there...

damnyanks

Have it some time after July 11th. Thats when I move in... never been to a boards beer. And going on what people are telling me it will be the only time I go out the whole year

Lump

I might be up for meeting..... Depending on the time etc. Work's a bitch

Shíte City more like!

I'm in Stratford

I'd suggest O'Neills on Shaftsbury Avenue. Sure, it's a plastic paddy chain, but it's pretty roomy (the back area has a really high ceiling, it's an outside area converted into an indoor area) and they serve Caffreys - result

yossarin

this O'Neills ?
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=WC2H+8JB (think this is a bit off, but you get the idea)

The Sweeper

Kaids, you know what happened last time we ended up in O'Neills - I'm not drinking espresso martinis in some random dive again. Oh - how's the rug-scarf-mat doing?

And yossarin - according to kaids, that O'Neills is easily distinguishable because you come out of Tottenham Court Road, and then, do you see the big building...?

Pepe LeFrits

Some random dive? That place is class, it's not random, i'm there all the time!

For anyone who knows London at all, 'the big building' madge is referring to is the Centre Point Tower. Standing at a mere 385ft tall, it's understandably easy to miss.



Or perhaps, a view as you exit the tube...

The Sweeper

Right, that's enough faffing about beers.

Here it is, Friday 15th July, the hot and sticky heart of the city, Soho, starting with Chinese food at lunchtime and ending up smashed.

I have a few takers, I'm going to put a thread on the events page.

Which is now here.

I'm in Ilford, formerly of Barking/Dageham, and before that Kildare, in Ireland... That said, I still live there when I go over. That said though, while Barking, et al are i Essex, they're still classed as London, tis madness!
