Great to see folks last night - and especially to welcome some new people. Lelia (good luck in Chicago!!!), the Count (learn to embrace your nickname - say it loud and proud - you are the Count!) and ItchyRinger (one day we'll make you tell us where that name came from!) (I'd welcome Caroline and John but that seems pointless as neither of them have ever logged into the forum.)
Next time I'll make sure that I don't spend the evening before drinking too much (as if there is a thing!) champagne so I can drink more wine than evaporates....
I'll pick a date for our next drinks soon - sometime towards end November I think. Crafty's going to pick a date for our group RUN (the alcohol was obviously affecting people by this point - running????) and we'll sort that out. The plan is roughly to identify a pub or two, run a little, drink a little, eat a little and watch some sort of sport thing on television at the end pub.
See you all soon (although not in the park obviously).
Cheers, Soo.
btw Soo - the next pub up from 'the Yacht' IS the 'Cutty Sark' - we should have visited all the towpath boozers up to the Dome by this time next year.
Don't think i should have ate that kebab on the way home tho lol
hope the hangovers aren't too awful - nice healthy fry up at lunch time will sort you all out. I am settling down to watch the opening game on the office telly!
Thank goodness for that, Snoop, I was getting really worried when you talked about the Samuel Pepys. If I had somehow missed a pub on the river in Greenwich, I don't think I'd have ever lived it down! There is a Samuel Pepys somewhere along the Jamaica Road though. Haven't tried it myself!
I guess after the Cutty Sark we're looking at the Pilot Inn?
REALLY not sure I can run a little and drink a little... I can do a run and then drink a lot, but mixing the two might just result in a chunder blunder...
Soo, thanks again for organising. And sorry I was sooo late - I wasn't enjoying myself, believe me! The colleague I left in the office was apparently here till 1.30am. Glad I didn't feel any compunction to stay :-)
I'll pass on the welcome to J - he said 'well, most of them seemed normal' and seemed rather disappointed! I did try questioning him on the 'most' and he merely pointed out that by no stretch of the imagination could introducing yourself to a complete stranger in a pub with 'Hi, I'm ItchyRinger' be considered normal :-) He may have a point - Itchy, you never did tell us your real name!!!!
Can I make one suggestion though? Next time we meet, can we PLEASE incorporate food?! With such a splendid choice of curry establishments in the area, surely we could do a pub'n'curry all the way up to the Barrier... and Wednesday Night is Banquet Night at the Millennium Balti... ;-)
ooops, just realised I never submitted this & it's been sitting in an open window on my pc for the past hour... lucky I sit in a corner, eh?!
Have been to the Cutty Sark on many occasions and dare say that I could be persuaded to go there again. I'm sure that it will have more customers than The Yacht anyway.
I'll see you all in 'The Park' at some stage no doubt.
Once have a day, we need to ascertain how long to run and how many pubs to visit (and, Snail, no need to drink before running if you don't want to). Should we be really lame and just do Greenwich to Blackheath and Back or should we run up to the Bull at the top of Shooter's Hill and then back down to Greenwich where we can ensure Snail gets her obligatory curry?
Birdypie, we hope you can join us.

On On...
I'd prefer a longer run - make me feel I earned the curry.... Of course you speedy frontrunners will have to get the first round of drinks in (possibly the second and third as well) while we (I) catch up.
....and ummm....I assume we aren't starting at 6am :-)
Soo.
Multi aleways arrives helmet in hand snaily,and usually a tad late.
Sorry i haven't made the last few socials, i'm sure hub explained that now i'm a flully flegged athlete i can't be out getting drunk. LOL
Plummy many thanks for choci, Itchy said it was v nice
Hope 2 c u all @ next pi** up where i will only be spectating as per races. ;o)
Jo xxxxxxx
Oy Plummy!! Are you complaining? If memory serves me correct you couldn't keep your hands off my helmet at the Firestation!
You will ruin my reputation at this rate.
Whats left of it.
suggest 8th November, which seems to fit a few other's diaries.
Hope all the regulars - and some new folks - will be able to join us in November for a RUN!?! and our more usual drinks session...
Details on the run are being co-ordinated by Crafty - but for now just block out the afternoon of November 8th.
See you all then.
Cheers, Soo.
======================
Pub Run/Lunch on Saturday the 9th November.
Starting point and interim pubs are tbd - but I'm sure it will be an interesting route. Crafty (our event organiser) knows his running and - more importantly - knows Greenwich pubs!!
======================
Drinks on Wednesday the 19th November at The Cutty Sark pub in Greenwich! (details on where the pub is to follow - apparently just down the road from the Yacht on Crane St...)
If you've ever run in Greenwich Park, or if you want to run in Greenwich Park, (even if you've only heard of Greenwich Park..) do come along.
It's a pretty mixed group in terms of ability, experience and when we run (I am a 'lunatic' 6 am runner - I mostly run alone...) - the only really common ingredients - we're nice people, like running and most of us like the occasional drink
As always - I'll be there from 7:00ish with a copy of Runner's World...
I blame marathon nerves....
Cheers, Soo.
