EC3 drinks

Hello City workers. Anyone up for a pint in EC sometime next week? I
*may* be curried prawn for a /while/[1] shortly afterwards.

 

Well, somewhere near the Monument would suit me. I'll have a think.
You're Holburn/Old Bailey way, are you not?

 

I'm surprised you would patronise a Wetherspoon's pub.

 

Is the Princess Louise in Holborn still a decent hostelry?

Ali

 

it's better than the other two shit pubs at Liverpool St. when you're
waiting for the delayed trains to appear.

 

.... or for your BNP meeting to start

racists like real ale too.

 

No idea - I'm located east of the Old Bailey (for the smallest amount
of "east" possible).

The only places I know on Holborn are Davy's Bung Hole, The Penderel's
Oak, Lounge and that Sam Smith's pub I forget the name of that's full
of seffers.

 

Ah, OK. Probably near my old office in Hillgate House, perchance. The PL is
up at the New Oxford Street end. Amazing old Victorian tiled decor, and it
used to do a decent pint.

OK, I'm whooshed. Full of *what*?

Ali

 

It's on Wigmore St, isn't it?

 

I'm around only on Friday (26th) so would have to be later in the week

Cheers

Paul.

 

Duh, I'm thinking of the Pontefract Castle

 

Not the one I'm thinking of. It's next to the old Holborn Library. Almost at
New Oxford Street.

Ali

 

Spooky, dude. When I replied to you, I'd wondered if you meant the
Pontefract. They used to do a couple of hundred malts, iirc.

Ali

 

At a guess, seff effricans. Rock apes. Hairybacks.

 

no, *east* of Old Bailey. Try a map.

bokkers.

 

D'oh. A brain that wasn't knackered might be better. Hillgate is opposite
the Bailey, but that would be west, of course.

As in, "I never met a nice ....."

Ah-ha. I have a diary clash, I'm afraid. I shall mostly turning 44 that
day and have plans.

Having consulted with the Insurance and Pensions Clique
(City Branch) we have decided on:

The Ship
11 Talbot Court
London, EC3V 0BP

At the south end of Gracechurch Street up the twitten just south of number
55.

Wednesday 24th January. 'After Work'.

 

Good call. Walkable from the office.

Added to the diary.

 

I am mostly in Hosier Lane when I go there these days. Has the benefit of
very cheap parking under Smithfield, too.

Heh. We've a Seth Efrican Project Manager at work. I sent him a .wav file of
that song, and he had never ever heard it. He's still speaking to me, too.
