    can't make it tonight I'm afraid. I had things planned already to saturday, one of which includes picking up Fiona from the airport late ... and she's very particular about me showing up at the airport to pick her up on the same day she lands

    If she’s flying in from the west then tell her to get a Shannon to Dublin Flight.

    Other way-Parachute

    Problem solved :p

    Thanks to the dozens of people who arrived for the Xmas Beers, so sorry that many had to be turned away at the door.
    Also, apparently there is to be an enquiry held due to the null-state of pizza on offer this evening, which we hope to have ready to conduct, following a scoping exercise, sometime in 2023...

    The lack of pizza was made up by a wonderful array of food and lovely spicy chicken that was terrifying and also amazing.

    Thank you so much for a fabulous evening. A+R is a brilliant community and through the years we have always had a great laugh. I am honored to be a part of it. Little ms sparks loved every minute of it.

    An early Happy Xmas to all and in 2019 we will have more amazing Beers.

    I'm in work!
    Hooray!

    And, maybe we could try for a location a bit more central next time?

    There are so many of our number living here and there around the country, might be more inclusive that way.

    Anyways, just thought I'd throw it out there.

    Just looking at the start of this thread, next years Christmas beers will be the 10th anniversary of the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks...

    That I would sell my collection then buy them back again was mentioned last night, what are we both if not prisoners of our worst habits!
