as per subject,

in The Waterpoet, near Liverpool St. Station

from 18:00 until bored.

 

What a crap front end.

 

I won't be joining you. After two weeks in the US I really just want
to go home. And more importantly Engelberg re-opens for skiing on
Saturday, so I have to be there.

 

Doesn't look like there are many takers

 

We were all sent to frustrate you, not amuse you. It seems.

 

oh well. Just me an Ogden again. Good job I've got 6-7 non ukrm-people
coming too.

 

And to add injury to insult, I've got a sodding gum infection that's
blown up one side of my face like a balloon. Antibiotics have kicked
in now, but yesterday, err, no it was US Thursday IYSWIM, the pain was
fucking excruciating, even with ibuprofen, ponstan and morphine.

I think I need a few days R&R.

 

Looks fine on my PC Neal?

 

I was saying in general like, not at anyone...

 

I blame your choice of location.

 

*ding*

ICBA to schlep all the way over to East London!

 

Too urban for you, bumpkin-boy?

 

I could but I have trains to drive.

 

heh, it's not the urban-ness, as much as the PITA journey there and
back.

The one thing with livng out in the Boondocks is the lack of decent
pubs within walking distance, but hopefully we'll move somewhere better
next year. It will still need decent links into London though, as
that's where most of my socialising is done.

 

When we went to view our current flat, the agent was delayed about half
an hour so we walked round the corner, went into the first pub we found
and settled down with a drink while waiting.

A year and a half later, it's still the only pub in Wandsworth I've ever
been in.

 

Two weeks after I moved to the boonies, the boozer within sight of my
garden reopened.

 

I've been in shedloads in Wandsworth!

My point being the first pub I walked into, the nearest to my flat, is a
great local and I've never needed to go to another.

 

Oh, I thought it was full of thickos.

I mean, you seem to keep winning the quiz, after all.

 

One of the two within walking distance of me is a cliquey hole, &
t'other's owned by a BNP member. I don't go to pubs to get drunk
anymore.

On the plus side, The Three Crowns, Riffs Bar & The Peartree are all
within 10 minutes drive, so it's a great location for fantastic food &
live music.
