CA Christmas Piss Up Date

[Andy Zarse]

Gents
I'm in Dover Street this Saturday night following dinner at Just and cocktails at the Ritz. Sj arthur ranky B'stard!
Want me to check out the 15th while I'm there or have you got it covered already Andy?
Steve

Provided you're sufficiently sober Steve, I think that would be a terrific idea. I guess we need a heads up on numbers.

[Andy Zarse]

What, in God's name, is going on here?

Andrew very sensibly suggested a Christmas piss-up in a manky pub somewhere in London but this has now been horribly mutated into a sophisticated dining extravaganza in a trendy London jazz bar no doubt with compulsory lounge suits to be worn.

Are a large group of pissed, hairy CA'ers exactly who Dover St are hoping to entice to their establishment?

That said, I do quite fancy a Terrine of Foie Gras and Langoustines followed by Prime Fillet Rossini all washed down with a nice Sancerre so I can't rule it out.

The wife, who has until this morning been mounting round the clock Rotterdam protests, has now said I can't go to London as I'm going to Rotterdam (that's news to me love considering you've been telling me I can't go to Rotterdam for three weeks) and so I have agreed that I will either go to Rotterdam or London. May seem like an easy choice but it's a logistical nightmare to get to Rotterdam. Although most of the London protaganists will also be in the Dam (Rusty - any news on Brethren attendance?) and it saves me having to listen to funk/soul/whatever the other bit was.

Any advice?

All this from someone who doesn't even know if he's going or not to the CA London piss-up. Or to the Rotterdam CA piss-up.

Call me Mr Pickey, but isn't the Rotterdam piss up a DfH piss up and not a CA piss up?

OK Mr Pikey - you are correct!

Did someone mention Fillet Rossini and Sancerre.

Beef and white wine!  Its almost as bad as a CA pissup in a smart and hence expensive Jazz bar

With the amount of CA-ers attending, you could also call it a CA pissup.

Robbo, Will you be out and about in Pompey on the 2nd and 3rd of December?  We are coming down for The Festival of Christmas in the Historic Dockyard. Bloody good value for a tenner, includes admission to the festival plus HMS Victory, HMS Warrior, The Mary Rose and all the museums. If you are about maybe we could meet up for a beer?
