RoF Christmas Drinks

heh

Ill be there but CBA organising it, not least bt wise of all the oh Laz it’s Laz hey Laz it’ll never happen rank bull shit that would ensue. FAOD if I did organise it it would ofc happen and would ofc be great.

Your last sentence makes you sound like Trump, btw.

It’s SEPTEMBER FFAS!!!!

I sympathise sometimes with Trump’s desire to lay down the facts over the heads of the h8rs, tbh. I think we all feel that way sometimes.

But THAT night in Infernoes, eh laz?

Donny, don’t be jealous cos your diary is still looking sparse. A negative attitude never produces a positive life 😝

Either works for me

I don’t mind helping out (booking karaoke) but supporting act only cheers

Let me be the first of many to say it, Laz you couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery.

come on sun, your version of babooshka is legendary

True Karaoke feel no shame 🇯🇵👺🤷🏻‍♂️

I am already excited for this to get another go on Sumos balls

I am in fact extremely good at organising things as evidenced by the many flawless deal processes I have overseen. I have also organised numerous very successful evenings out. ROF drinks have been organised by Laz previously to great effect. All in all then, kindly pipe down esp those like Force Me Jaw who don’t know me from Adam - who were you again?

Alright then, you crybabies, I’ll organise it if nobody else will. I’m not promising to turn up, mind you - that will depend on how I feel on the day, it’s possible I won’t feel arsed enough to even come into town.

So is this a “I’m going to do it” in the same sense as “I’m definitely going to buy the Sevenoaks Paperchase” or are you actually going to do it?

heh @ Dusty.

My diary isn't so much looking sparse in December as being gloriously empty. I don't even know which continent I will be on in December yet!

No strutter. Obviously he is not actually going to do it!

Well I know that, but it would be nice to see laz admit he is all talk

my diary for December:

- week somewhere sunny for a vit d top-up

-apparently go to see Wicked at the theatre Christ

-that's it

Clergs, I’m sure you’ll love Wicked!

Donny is struggling (as am I) with Middle East planning versus UK planning.

Everyone in the UK plans things a LONG time in advance.

One of the mums at school proudly announced that she has just booked their summer holiday for 2024!!!

It is nuts.

I much prefer ME still chaos.

This made me actually look at the diary and realize 01 Dec is the Dubai 7s.

surprised they let you rof from CIA black sites tbh

On a separate note - Clerg, my OH and i went to see Wicked a couple of years ago and almost left in the interval. I thought it was shite. Soz.

1 Dec, 1700h onwards, Dirty Dicks liverpool st, towards the back.

If you're just staying for one, or drinking softies, please don't come.

C U there.

Bailey - I am fully prepared to have to go serious happy place throughout. (The theatre it is in is super uncomfortable also)

wait, what?

you have a happy place?

what does that look like? penultimate act of Event Horizon?

Heh

RoF drinks have to be in or around fleet st.

It is the rule.

Or otherwise handy for the 'loo.

I thought Smithfield for the karaoke was the rule?

Not that I'll be there (unless the venue is moved to Seven Mile Beach).

"wait, what?

you have a happy place?

what does that look like? penultimate act of Event Horizon?"

Super heavyweight heh-maker

Guilty heh

The karaoke should be left to messrs asto and strutter in their sole discretion. Provided that discretion is exercised towards the same horrible sticky floored smithfield hole as usual.

Did it actually happen in the end last year btw?

There were drinks organised by Badman and Montie.

I got all the way to waterloo, planning to go, but then I remembered both Montie and Badman were penises, so I went home and ate cottage pie.

Badman didn't go.

These were secret drinks, for reasons unclear to me. They were held in the slug and lettuce, again for reasons unknown.

Bit harsh there, Wang.

Badders is alright.

See you all there

Friday 12 Jan at Wylam brewery

my next free weekend in the U.K. and I’m not coming to London

c u there

I love how all the tragique men with their bad and tawdry coping mechanisms are hehing my happiness, which is ample thx

The Waterloo slug and lettuce is weirdly popular for socially odd drinks, wang. Maybe there's a discount.

heh @ badman not turning up

heh @ organising drinks at a slug & lettuce ffs

see you there merckx

I'd be up for wylam tbh

Rof northern powerhouse ftw

I'm assuming that y'all haven't yet received Laz's invite to Christmas Drinks in Sevenoaks at the wonderfully named Toby Carvery Badgers Mount.

clergs m7 the 12th is in the diary

🍻

See you in Jan Merkz

It’s September 1 FFS.

However, I feel enormously re-assured that the project management expertise of Laz is on the case.

Merkz

I ll be at Ellend Road for Leeds v Watford on Sat 23rd September and will be downing pints in the Griffin (by the Station) from 12 before doing corporate hospitality

see u there?

Elland*

Asti m6 I will be in the US for most of the autumn; quite fancy a trip to Elland Road this season though

Phoebs - looking forward to it

I’m up for it. I haven’t been for years.

Weekend 15-17 Dec works best for me. Can’t do the 1st weekend in Dec.

I could do 21 December in the Weatherspoons on Peckham Rye but I have to be home by 8.30 chzthx

my happiness, which is ample

I do actually believe this. Going to put it down to the soothing influence of an older, but presumably non-tragique, man.

:-|

ok it’s official Xmas drinx are in Newcastle on 12 Jan and Piers is buying

going 2 b epic m2s

I am actually tempted.

PP m88 you know it makes sense - once you’ve met Laz, me, Chimp, Clergs and Phoebs you’ve basically completed RoF

All you need for the full set are monty with his fat eyes and sweaty hands, and fonders with her heaving milkers.

Reading Cookies post I’m now worried that my moobs may be at risk if I turn up.

will there be a safe space at the party?

merko - you have not ventured south. come down.

this sounds tempting.

Express yourself, asti

merko - you have not ventured south. come down.

Let's compromise--Sheffield?

coffers m88 I really am not free until January

Toon drinks going to be epic tho …

There were some fun drinks at The Fence by Farringdon last year. I think ROF put some money behind the bar too (at least, there was a tab going when I was there).

Merkz, if you should run into any Irish people while you are out on the Toon, will you be referring to them as “potato wogs”

Good afternoon, sea units. Has this been progressed at all? I may inflict myself upon you this year.

inflict?

what, are you a tory MP now?

You know what I mean.

AFAIK nothing has been decided

We need to nominate a project manager.

I’ve always admired Dusty on this front. She should deffo organise it as she’s ace at making things happen.

Do I have a seconder?

WAIT. I haven’t organised anything for RoF before so I have no idea upon what you are basing these outrageous claims!
Also, I’m not in London.

I VOTE KAULBACH.

and can it be on 15 December thankyouplease.

I would absolutely love to do this, but unfortunately I’m super busy until 2036.

We need someone with lots of disposable time, as evidenced by their prolificacy on RoF. It’s going to be a Hyoo Christmas.

I think rof ribaldry is the person for the job

Not sure why you think ribaldry is in any way an insult that I'd be bothered by. Care to explain?

And no, I'm not organising drinks.

If Badman can make it, I’ll be there too. I think it may be easier for us on 15 Dec than 1st… but I’ll let him confirm.

I don’t have time to organise- and also can’t be arsed - although I’d love to see some if you. You know who you are. If you don’t know, probably not you so much.
