Ok. Attendance at recent City Drinks meets has been dropping faster than the Lloyd's Board's bonus scheme, so I thought it'd be a good idea to link the cyclical drink to a special occasion each month.

So this month - Thursday 26th March - City Drinks is proud to co-host MrWill's birthday bash!

Yup, that's right, everyone's favourite PH techie will be notching up another year and it's only fitting that we show our appreciation in the time-honoured way.

For those of you who don't know him, using the power of technology (he'll be sooo proud of me!), I have managed to track down a web pic of him.





This promises to be quite a 'do'; in fact all of these people have yet to come up with an excuse to not attend:

1. MrWill
2. V8mate
3. G'kar
4. Swerni
5. Sleep Envy
6. Gaffer
7. Cara Van Man
8. Coolcatmaz
9. Vixpy1
10. Arebrec
11. Cotty
12. Vlad.
13. Touching Cloth
14. Scotal
15. Landlord
16. AngryS3owner
17. Lord Pikey
18. Tony_666
19. Rich1232
20. Bigburd
21. Verysideways
22. JamesP
23. Del203
24. Cactussed
25. Dan101smith
26. Harry Flashman
27. Soovy
28. Tonker
29. Bedford Rascal
30. Plotloss
31. Garlick
32. RacingPete
33. bmwdrivernigel

And many, many more members are still on the verge of returning positive RSVPs or thinking up utterly inane reasons to avoid leaving their keyboards for even a few hours.


Background Stuff:

These monthly events are held on the last Thursday of every month at Dirty Dicks (right outside Liverpool St station)

www.dirtydicks.co.uk

Unless booked for a private party, PHers meet upstairs, usually not more than an arms-length from the bar.


Never been before? Want to know what it's all about?

Well, it's a pure social; no-one brings a car! Once inside, it's all of the banter you love to engage in with loads of familiar names.
New friendships made; old friendships ruined. Er.... oh... anyway...

And there's no 'moderation'. Have you ever typed a reply to a thread and are just about to press 'Submit' when you reread your message and decide to press 'Back' instead? Maybe you thought it might be too inappropriate in some way? Well for one night a month, you can press a verbal 'Submit' button, safe in the knowledge that WGOTSOT (usually).


I think it would be fair to say: Miss it; miss out.

This month sees the arrival of my birthday too and so it may be a little churlish for me not to attend...

Other way round no?

Not that you'd complain I'm sure......

I hope that doesn't set a precedent, as I'm the meat in a Touching Cloth/Landlord sandwich.....

You think you've got problems, I'm on top of Flashman.

At least I can look forward to flowers, dinner and winning a sexual misconduct case.

Nooo!

I really would come chap - but I will be in Japan, best manning at a wedding.

I feel that this is a fairly good excuse, though.

I assume they've put the bar back upright now? It didn't seem quite straight before.
