Bleagh - I hate anything made with or involving honey - there are so many honey or honeyed beers around my friends drool over, but they just taste disgusting to me +++retch+++



Hmmm - 5:40pm...

Beer o/clock

No, it's not in Norwich.
 
Hopefully before Jim gets in, is this what they serve there James? Tongue Big smile


Not as far as I am aware.

They do sell real ales though. Big smile

We had a CAMRA beer festival on the railway last weekend.  Unfortunately I was signalman on Saturday but got down there early doors on Sunday and had a nice pint of Isambard Kingdom Brown Ale, followed by an excellent pint of Wickwar Station Porter (6.1%).  I then went home to sleep in front of the Grand Prix but returned later to sample a couple more before going for the traditional post beer curry.  It was nice to actually have a day off for a change.Tongue
 
We're planning at least one repeat event next year.Thumbs Up

I have a car, sat-nav and a petrol allowance (eek! expenses Shocked) - so I can travel to you or meet somewhere along the route betwixt. Smile
 
I'm in oh Darq one. Tongue
 
Martin hasn't been on today so I guess we should wait before finalising but for now I can do Wednesday any time from 4.30pm onwards.
 
Assuming Martin can make it I suggest a watering hole that is easily accessible and on the outskirts of the city.
 
This should be ideal:     http://www.the-rivergarden.co.uk/index.html
 
Yep, sounds ideal Approve ... unless Martin has another preference that is closer to him, (if he's available)
 
What?

Things are moving a bit quick these days. Where does Val Donican and Kenneth McKellar place in the listing? Confused

In Beige?

With an elasticated waistband?
 
Just because you're getting on in years there's no reason for any unfortunate 'trouser accidents'.

Once recorded a round of the BBC Wiltshire Sound pub quiz in the Beehive.  A bit cramped getting two teams of four with mics and buzzer buttons etc. set up in there.LOL

@ Steve (& Martin & Jared) - I'll be finishing work around 5:30 - 6:00 - a quick shower and change and I can be in the River Garden by 7:30 - 8:00. You can't miss me - long grey hair, dressed in black, goatee and sometimes a leather hat. (unless all folk in Norfolk look like that Confused)

Tried to PM you Dean but received this! LOL
 
Dean has exceeded the maximum number of Private Messages they are allowed to receive.
 
I'll be there at 8pm.
 
My pic is on my MS so you'll know who I am! Big smile
 
No contact received back from Jared so he wont be there.
 
I'll PM Martin as I didn't see him on yesterday.

Has anyone heard from Jared recently?  I know I've not been here myself much of late so maybe I just missed him?

I've passed the birthday wishes on, although I am trying t persuade him his birthday is OVER now so ultra pampering is due to cease!

Haven't seen or heard from friend Jared for a while - I know he's had some upheaval & moving couldn't have helped...
