Any interest in a Cambridge meet sometime?

[Darles Chickens]

Arson was too good for it.

Cambridge anal-lickout? Ta!

Ok maybe I am coming after all

[DrGreggles]

Fun fact: the only other Wetherspoons in Cambridge was so miserable that it went and burned itself down out of shame in 2015

And it was still better than The Regal.

[Crabwalk]

I'd be up for some of this.

[manticore]

I understand he went to the Perse school

I went to that sick shit school for five whole blasted years and I never met him so I think you've got that wrong. All posh stuck-up dullard muthafuckers there, got out as early as I could, no way mook ever went there.

[DrGreggles]

How about a mini pub crawl around the Mill Road area?

You're a Perse boy?!

I used to be able to shoot my super soaker from my tree house and hit a passing Perse boy, which I did. Often.

Blimey.

I've made two bonfires today - legal ones mind, on my missus' allotment, not the sort that got me excluded from The Perse. And I've got two more fires to light before bedtime, admittedly one is for a barbeque for a butterflied shoulder of lamb and the other is to hot smoke a trout. Still counts though. FOUR FUCKING FIRES IN ONE DAY! And I've been using a petrol strimmer. I've had a fucking lovely day.

No, I attended The Perse. And stop asking me personal questions - are you trying to groom me? Because if you are, please stop. I had more than enough of that happen to me at school.

tho with all those capital letters in those posts we have to query if that was the real mook and not an imposter

Now yer talking.

Can we please have some dates asap, recalling how busy and important I am?

[manticore]

no. my own lurking days agree. sorry.

I wasn't being serious! Mook's too young to have been at the Perse at the same time as me. Wish he had been, sounds like he livened the place up quite a bit. I used to dream of being excluded but was too timid to do anything about it.

A bit hard for people to join up if we can't all get there at the start though. Plus, you have all that business of everyone needing to drink at broadly the same pace and then everyone ordering at the same time when you get to the next place. An administrative nightmare among virtual strangers, basically.

[Twit 2]

I should point out that despite starting this thread something's bound to come up that prevents me from actually going!

[shiftwork2]

When's this then, fuckos?  Someone needs to take charge.  I nominate anyone who is not me.

How about a micro-crawl? Basically we all go and drink in one pub, and then every 30 minutes we get up and move to a different table. So rather than getting to know a selection of Cambridge pubs we get to know a selection of different parts of the same pub, and get to know it really well. Could work

I'm crap at picking dates so i'll Just start with the days I can't do: this weekend and the next

[pancreas]

21st April?

I think I'll have to drive down, such is the outrageous cost of rail travel—plus it's hardly any difference in time.

[shiftwork2]

21st April?

This works.  Mill Road is a great shout.  There's the White Swan and Earl of Beaconsfield if I remember rightly.  Isn't there a pub around there that keeps pigs in the beer garden?

[SpiderChrist]

The Empress off Mill Road used to have pigs.  Not been in there for some time, though

[Twit 2]

21st April looking good for me.

[DrGreggles]

21st works for me too.

Daytime or evening? Or both...

[pancreas]

Anyone have a burning desire to go to High Table at Kings on the Friday? I can investigate.

As I don't drink may I suggest we go on a coffee shop crawl instead?
They tend to close earlier than pubs which means I can get home before the ruffians come out

Check this shit out

Check THIS shit out

[popcorn]

You could alternate between cafes and pubs, sobering up between rounds.

[Twit 2]

Pubs serve coffee?

[Mr_Simnock]

Might not be able to make this, on the 21st I am doing a 5k along the prom at Blackpool. The race starts at 1pm and it takes me about (edit) 4 hrs to get to Cambridge so I would probably arrive about 6pm at the earliest. I'll think about it, I am up for staying in a BnB so I can also look round on the Sunday.

[Crabwalk]

I can't make the 21st, sadly. Hopefully it goes well and there's a sequel some time.
