I can spill beer, if that helps.
The more the merrier!
Spilling beer is mandatory.
As is buying the first round
Date in the diary, I'm already salivating at the thought of a pint of Big Lamp Bitter.

Absolutely. I'll be happy to show you how to stagger home after trying to keep up with Garth and Scotty.

Thanks, Norm, that's a very kind offer.

This sounds great - can you fit in a few more newbies coming down from the North?

All welcome.
At this rate we'll have to hire the back room!

Brilliant - I will mobilise the troops...
How will we recognise you all - will someone be wearing a red dress or holding a copy of the Guardian under their right arm?

Failing that, look-out or even better listen for the rowdy bunch and I'm sure you'll find us!

Chaps,
I've noticed recently that a new pub has opened in the old O'Niell's gaff on Claypath called the John Duck Alehouse. Apparently it has at least 10 handpulls and is owned by the same chap of the Elm Tree and the Angel.
I seem to remember it being quite big inside so might be perfect for a large meet?
I could do a rekkie if anyone is interested and has the bonus of being right next to the A690 bus stops and a short walk from the train station.

Yeah, might be worth thinking about Scott. It's a hard task, but if you really insist, you can do the "research"!

As long as you are paying, I don't mind. I'll even join you on the rekkie.
Without patience, life becomes difficult and the sooner it's finished, the better.
