if we can't be there in chicago, why not get drunk in london together...

anyone interested?

edit...
well it is going ahead
pegasus is out... she is in Chicago.. guess we will check in with the crew at some stage!

    Gloria Gaynor-I'll be there

    Now if you feel that you cant go on
    Because all your hope is gone
    And your life is filled with confusion
    And happiness is just an illusion
    And your world around is tumblin down
    Darling, reach out
    Reach out, for me.

    Ill be there to love and comfort you...(tell me baby)
    Ill be there with the love Ill see you through

    Now when youre lost and about to give up
    cause your best just aint good enough
    And you feel the world has grown cold
    And youre driftin on your own
    When you need a hand to hold
    Darling, reach out
    Reach out, for me.

    Ill be there to love and comfort you
    Ill be there with the love Ill see you through

    Ill be there to love and comfort you
    Ill be there to with the love Ill see you through

    I can tell you the way I hang your head
    Now with out of love , now youre afraid
    And through your tears you look around
    But theres no peace of mind to be found

    I know what youre thinking
    Witout love, now youre alone
    Baby, reach out
    Reach out for me

    Ill be there to love and comfort you
    Ill be there with the love Ill see you through

    Ill be there to love and comfort you
    Tell me baby
    Ill be there to always see you through
    Ill be there

    Ill be there to love and comfort you
    Ill be there with the love Ill see you through.

    ;)

    I love the idea of getting drunk in general! When is Lolla happening anyway? I might be able to make it. Might!

    Can't make it either.... up North (well, Nottingham) burying me mum's ashes... can't really put it off, been doing that for a year already! ;)

    You're lucky, I'm probably booked up most weekends between now and the end of September what with holidays and birthday parties, a Friday night would work best for me... so feel free to arrange something for a Saturday :D
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    i'm too busy up here in scotland... London is miles away ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    If we go to a pub with a beer garden you should be ok anyway :)

    my time is running out in this town, while i may be able to fit another piss up in, lolla seems a great reason to get drunk together, tell stories bout the tour and dream of the next one.

    lots of people or few, we are gonna do this thing.

    after all, we got alot of people to byrnzies leaving drinks and that was gonna be rob and byrnzie alone, not the 20 tag alongs that came in the end

    now we need some meet-ups for that :) (reminds me..what's on the weekend we're going to Munich? finding a sport bar there might get tricky..arrr France-Ireland on the Friday...well, Norwich MUST have a pub ;))
  • vedder_soupvedder_soup Posts: 5,861
    rugby means i will be missing the weekend with everyone in munich, otherwise i would be there. instead i will be in montpellier!

    there is an australian/irish bar (well 2 bars, in the same building but seperate bars) in munich, aussie one called Ned Kellys. It is near the big church behind the marienplatz. i watched a rugby game there in june last year, they both have sky :)

    yeah, i'm leaving here! will be home eventually but probably not for to long, my feet wil be itchy very very quickly!

    small amount of interest, so maybe a smaller pub might be better, and maybe cheaper than waxys on a weekend, less crowded as well.

    i think i will throw it out there on facebook as well...

    weekend after payday i will have money as well!
