That's last year's! http://www.camra.org.uk/SHWebClass.ASP?WCI=ShowDoc&DocID=2349 says it's 2 to 6 Aug

Yeah, it always starts on the Wednesday and all the good beer is drunk by Friday so I reckon weds or thursd is a better idea. Not been for a couple of years actually so, lets go.

woops well spotted about it being last years. x-post

unfortunately i can't do weekdays as i'm a temp and need all the money i can get!

― battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

Do you temp in the evenings? For evenings is when I will go. Though not Thursday cos I am at the cricket.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

Is it really as good as it sounds?

Is it expensive?

Will I need an Arran sweater and a beard to get in?

it shouldn't cost too much, and when is it not fun to have a lot of teh beers around?

i temp in day but rarely finish on time so by the time i would get there it wouldn't be worth it on teh weekdayz- xpost

Please please come dressed as a steriotypical buxom german barmaid.

― battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:23 (twenty years ago)

I thought if I dressed like that, I might pull ... a pint, at least!

*resisting joke about giving good head*

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

fnaaaar!

i got all the awful overused jokes when i was a barmaid in Southampton

― battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

Well that's why I (kinda) resisted. But look at the St Pauli Girl! She looks like she's carrying meringues not beers

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:31 (twenty years ago)

beer flavoured merangues ?

― battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

If you're going to get people together for a two-day Olympia-sized drinking binge, surely "fancy a pint" is nowhere near a strong enough term?

Perhaps "fancy a bender" (FAB) or "fancy several pints" (FSP), or maybe even "Fancy picking up a glass at the entrance then getting wallered on dozens of pints of obscure European real ale made from Namibian hops in the company of several thousand middle-aged men with beer bellies and beards wearing white socks beneath their sandals" (FPUAGATETGWODOPOOERAMFNHITCOSTM-AMWBBABWWSBTS).

It's quite catchy, no?

― A Mouse Called Nonny, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

no.

Alright

fancy getting shit faced?
