No one seems to have suggested a Pre-Christmas evening.
So here's a a pole to see if and when we have one.
Obviously the choice is a bit limited now.
I'm assuming the Three Frogs.

Just to throw another idea into the pot, I was chatting with Robbo the other day and we were contemplating a trip to London Irish.
Suggested dates would be Saturday 19th for the Heinekan Cup game against Brive, or Sunday 27th December for the Premiership top of the table clash with Saracens.

I am having a Christmas bash with the rest of the Club Arnage Guernsey Branch...
Oh, there are no others! Well I suppose I will have to carry myself home ;D
I had better arrange a date and make sure I can be there.

If we go to Reading - then I'm sure we won't need a pole, there's already PLENTY......
As for egg chasing....Mark are you sure?? Surely you've not forgotten how the last time ended up?? Actually...perhaps you have.... :D

Needless to say I can't make any of the dates proposed for a get together in W'ham or the rugby. I shall be there in spirit though - preferably vodka.
Suddenly I feel very sad and very far away from everyone. :'(

So I can now do the 18th :D
In fact, beers in Wokingham on Friday night followed by Rugby on the 19th sounds like a plan!!
Did some people stay at alocal Travelodge last time? How far away was it?

Don't stay at the Travelodge!!
You'll wake up in a room with no key, a splitting headache and red toe nails.

I had the misfortune to stay in a Travelhovel last week.
Granted, not the one in question, but it has to rate as the second most vile, consumer experiences of my life.
Farringdon Road. Don't stay there. Ever. Ever.

It looks like nobody is bothering to turn up. I didn't know my absence would cause such apathy amongst those of you still in Blighty. It's nice to know I had such a glavanising effect. :P
Go on guys, prove me wrong. Get together tonight and have a few for me while you're at it. :-*

PS: As the sun is well and truly over the yardarm here I'm just about to crack open the vodka and add some coke. ;D

Though my Drinking may be somewhat curtailed due to my attempt to chat on the big white phone.

Ah!! Now that I only work for a small company, the works do was trumpeted as an Indian in Surbiton, tonight. Due to weather and other stuff I am now unexpectedly driving, and this might give me the perfect excuse to leave early and see if anyone is still in the Frogs. So I might be there later - not before 10 though.

I think it might be quite quiet Geoff as I don't think many are now going. I know a lot of the usual suspects can't make it.
In light of the low numbers confirming, the weather and my dodgy knee (I'm having a small op on it on Monday) I think I'll be crying off and saving myself for the Rugby tomorrow!
Have fun those that do go along!!

Hmmm....
I've bottled out. I live at the bottom of a Hill and getting out is a tad difficult. So under the circumstances I thought is best to stay home.
