I'm too scared to come in case I actually know some of you in real life and you don't like me.

Speak now if you're off the list or want on.

Just to be sure, this is definitely 21 April and it's not going to change? Works for most of us, I think? Sorry it's no good for Crabwalk :-(

For those wondering about timings, I suggest an afternoon kick-off for those who have to leave early and/or frowzy old lushes like me who are happy to drink for hours.

I've been to a few CaB meets and there is nearly always someone who is teetotal in attendance so anyone who is holding off because they are thinking that will be a problem, it won't be.

Twit 2

Well, the 21st seems good for a few of us, so let's stick to that unless anyone objects.

DrGreggles

I'm sure other dates can be suggested and we'll see what the best fit is.

But how? How could such a process even start?

Crabwalk

Please don't attempt to reschedule on my account if the date works for everyone else! As I said upthread, hopefully it'll be a roaring success and I'll be there to ruin it next time.

Bumping as this is creeping up.

Revised list. I find it confusing putting these together so please correct me if you're not fucking coming.

I'm still coming, but the erroneous Ds in my name will not be. I'm going through a mildly pedantic phase right now so forgive me

madhair60

That's right before payday so I'll probably be penniless as fuck but I'll scrape something together. Failing that somebody can buy me a drink. "Thanks for all the laughs, madhair"

Should do a "pub/money advice" thread and a dozen of us will spunk you a paypal tenner

2pm onwards in the Earl of Beaconsfield?  Can post in this thread if we decide to make it a wee crawl.

Twit 2

Sounds good. What are people who are arriving by train doing about return tickets: open return or a specific time? Not sure how long these things go on for...

shiftwork2

On past form it'll burn on well into the evening.  No benefit in buying advance tickets from your station, an open off-peak return is the cheapest option.

Bumping this as it's this Saturday.  Who's coming?

Combination of financially destitute and socially anxious, lads. Probably gonna give it a miss. Sorry.

Twit 2

Would you be tempted if people bought you drinks? Can't speak for others but I will buy you a pint. Unless it's just me and shiftwork again, and others do the same you'll be sorted. As for anxiety - it's CaB! Don't you live in Cam? Some of us are getting trains for the chance of social anxiety!

Blinder Data

If I was anywhere near Cambridge I would be up for this. Shiftwork is a top bloke (as I'm sure everyone else who's going is)

shiftwork2

Nah there's a team of fuck head regulars (angrew, pancreas, that Janie bird) it's not just me and thee. Madhair you are a poster to meet.  You encapsulate CaB with your laconic outrageousness.  Words and pictures.  Fuck the socially anxious do you think we aren't?  And drinks are bought and it does not matter.  What we have here is greater than shitty money and we all know it.

Unfortunately you don't have a choice. We need you for ... I'll PM you. We can crowd-source some beers for you.

Given that this is at my local, I'd actually like to come, but sadly I'm doing some radio commentary in Grantham at 3. If it's a crawl, post in here and I might be back in time.

Fair fucks it would be fucking thick to not go to the one meet that's where I actually live.

Shoulders?-Stomach!
