    Hey all,

    Just a reminder that the christmas drinks is on this saturday. I think Tiny said from about EDIT:***7pm*** onwards in the church (directions by clicking my festive sig!).

    Hope to see as many people there as possible, if you post or lurk here please come, the more the merrier (despite what you may have read this will not turn into a "eurocyclist" drinking session with manly thigh slaps,tips on shaving and whether the 90s festina kit is cool or not).

    I'll be there, might leave the bike at home :eek:

    Many congratulations mate!

    I like the ring of 'Tiny' personally :)

    Or go for Mario, Jens, Andy, Magnus, or follow the mighty Dave Zabriskie and name him 'Waylon' :)

    Hey, congrats! Greetings from my own haze of five and a half weeks of baby induced sleep deprivation!! But it's all good, I'm sure you're chuffed.

    OK, I plan to be there about 7, Aquinas, I'll buy you a beer if you can make it, toast our new offspring!

    I won't be able to make it tomorrow night as we're throwing a Christmas party. I live a short walk away, so the boardsies are more than welcome to wander up after the pub and drink my house dry. I'll PM directions to a few people.

    Can someone (looking at Blorg here) bring a camera, just so we can capture any moments of hilarity/awkwardness and throw them up here on sunday?

    Well, not for my camera. Then I'd have to take the photos ! Who ever happens to have one. We certainly will need a photo of Caroline's cast, replete with signatures and words of wisdom.

    Something like "watch out for ice !"

    Anything anatomical or/and hairy is NOT permitted on this cast. Any Alpes D'huez road writing type of thing is permitted, like the famous 'Cadel you Ozzie Tw*t', that can be found on the Galibier ... BUT ... will be covered by a xmas sock by the end of the night ...

    That rules out Campag vs Shimano debates then.

    I'll be there before 8.

    Congrats Aquinas!

    Ah, secondary school, drawing willies on people's casts, they were happier days.

    Can we draw boobies?

    What's the point of going to the pub if you can't argue about politics?

    With the above mentioning of penii, I first read 'ulock' as something very different! *ahem*

    I think we should discuss everything -religious politics! :)
