Christmas Beers & OldGoat Armwrestling - Saturday December 19th - Karma. 8 PM!

Toto Wolfcastle

Right, so some people have mentioned a Christmas beers. I thought I'd start a thread to see if there is much interest.

Multiple choice poll. I've put in dates before and after Christmas. If I've left anything out then let me know.

Remember that Tom Dunne will be around between 17th December and the 2nd January, or something, if anyone cares.

I am not the most of suggestible of people, and yet, for some strange reason, I feel compelled to choose Saturday the 19th in the poll above.

Now ain't that peculiar

Yes. I corrected myself ... it is a most handy trait, especially if you wish to avoid embarrassing grammatical errors.

In this instance I selected an erroneous date, through a slip of the fingers, and not a slip of the mind. What of it ?

You are perfectly entitled to do so :cool:

When all the date swopping - venue changing - time arranging is finally sorted out let me know. Till then I'm staying away from the thread. I hate getting my hopes built up for a Beers only to have the date changes over and over again hence sending me into a decending spiral of gloom and despondency.
(Don't mean to sound depressed, it's 'The Thirst' talking)

I may have a Non Boardsie staying with me that weekend, I can bring him along and we can indoctrinate him

I didn't realise there was such a thing as a non-boardsie anymore. I just found out today a guy in work has an account for ages and I never knew. Then he let slip that he always posts in the fitness forum and the penny dropped........

You could of course go to both, they are on a week apart by the looks of things

You are of course welcome to come to the BGRH beers but you will have to bring a can of condensed milk (it is tradition for newbies and I am sure will be explained when the beers thread proper goes up)

Right, venue. Where?

Young lady, if we want your opinion we will give it to you.

All I am saying is that time is against us and it looks like the 19th is the night.

Just saying, like.....

Not sure where does cheap beer these days, I have expensive tastes

Would we like to try somewhere other than Karma or are we still all happy with it?

Personally, I don't mind.

They have lovely couches.

The options as I see it (and others are may well disagree) are

Go to The Longstone, where it all began

Go to The Czech Inn which had cheap beer but we outgrew it in numbers, not the case anymore

Go to The Porter House Central, has lovely beer but it pricey

Go to Karma, the last few beers have been there and gone well, I just find that the seating lends itself to people staying in the one spot all night making it hard to get around to chat to people

TP Smiths are more than happy to have beers and to reserve and area and stuff.

But then you have to mingle.

I have no problem with Karma. Make it so.

I think that what Popey is saying is that it's quite hard to mingle in Karma without climbing over people.

How about The Bleeding Horse. Never in it before and it's looks massive. Somewhere big preferably, Karma is very small and there's no dance floor/DJ set for later on that night.
