Gnasher and Gnipper are fine as they are Abyssian Wire Haired Tripe hounds. Westies however.....

Royal Inn on the Park sounds great. Venue sorted (hopefully).

Not sure about Monday though. If this is going to be a regular thing, we need to get people coming down every week for a few pints. Wednesday's are normally better for that sort of carry on. It only clashes with South London Polo, and not sure many people from East go to that. What do people think?

I'm easy though. I'll come no matter what day it is.

it's ight thee above you left index finge tommy :P

Yeah to Wednesday

Monday has been taken it would appear:
South:Monday

We said it first!

Nah, what does it matter? I'd prefer Monday, but can do wed aswell. I'm about to go full-time freelance, so will be pretty flexible.

it's hardly going to be cross-platform..

doubt southerners will worry about your pitiful rebel band..

you may take the east, and be sated, poor fools...

vic:No, PJ hates everything... :p

Only thing is they don't do food on a monday. Maybe Tuesday and then Trixies could roll down after? *hides from potential Trixie vengeance*

Or Wednesday cos I can't see too many easties going south for polo... No offence intended, Southers :P

Weds weds weds

We need to change the title of this thread to include time and place.

Somebody... somebody... somebody...

I'm with dogs.. I'll be there if it's at Browns :D

First thing I though as soon as I saw the thread title TBH.

Either Browns or the Griffin. I, err, 'watched' the Yids in Europe last week in the Griffin.

PS There's always Secrets just down the road from the Stonemasons for West Beers!!

I've never felt so used as when I went in one of those places. Talk about exploitation... of sad middle aged men.

ixnay on usurpingway ixietray uesdaytays :/

I know im well new to this but i live right opposite the Fox pub on the Kingsland Road, it would be good to meet some of the fellow easties and ive got room for muchos bikos if locking up is a problemo. Just a suggestion...

Youse lot are feckin useless. West beers = sorted. South beers = sorted. Fix up E.London!

how about northeners up at the flask in highgate in summer! can pass beers to BMMF, lpg and jonny as they do west highgate or swains lane.

Cajeta:¿ is language only dogs can read?

i do hate most things, it is true.

But can i throw a spanner in the works and vote for:

the palm tree. it's awesome.

my girl lives next door to it, but venue sorted, day sorted

you lot are now drinking at pub on the park on wednessday.

have fun i will see you at the end of april apperently....

Palm tree.... good suggestion pj.

So is there any consensus in all this stuff?
+1 Royal Inn in the Park, any day.

agreed - royal inn on the park.

but when the weather brightens - the palm tree, sit outside, in a park, by the canal, sipping beer, listening to the houseband, the palm trio.

Yes.

OK, what say you all to next Tuesday at Royal Inn on the Park?

Grover Road, E2

from 6.30pm...

And, go...

lol im with dogs, BROWNS!

ive only just moved up to london, met a few of you at the artycat when i was considering moving up to e8, but now im here properly.
so looking forwrd to meeting some people.
Ill try and get my house mate xsheepx involved as well, i am sure he would be up for a pepsi or two.

pj, I agree, Palm Tree (see page 1)

Sano (and anyone else) RIotP on Tuesday. Seems to be as close to consensus as you're ever likely to get.
Lets go for it and if we don't like the place we'll ride to a different one.

these are all good venues. we can change the venue each meet. all we gotta do is post it on here. after all we are all mobile te he.

but i think the date should be the same each month. so we all know second tuesday or third wednesday or first thursday (of the month) is the night we meet our fixed friends in east london. somert to look forward to and plan around. people can always meet in between if they want.

wednesdays is best for me but i can work around other nights.

but shall we just get started ?

shall we go with fruitbat suggestion and meet at the palm tree e3 next tuesday 25 march 2008 ? and take it from there ?

if you cant make it dont worry we will be meeting again soon.

Was just gonna say that, just less third-persony

tuesdays is a crap idea, unless you want a sausage party. wednesdays are the way to go.

I don't mind. Could someone please decide for me?

what's a sausage party? ;)

i think it has something to do with a sausage, and possibly no women. i think it's an uncouth americanism.

if brown's is busy, we can always go to metropolis, or images.

the lady owner of images got fined £10,000 for letting the clientele 'touch' the ladies. i read it in the east end paper, so it must be true.
