saintbletch Posted 16 May, 2015 Share Posted 16 May, 2015 (edited) How long is too long to make imploring eye contact with strangers?

In their absence Lou and myself had an interesting discussion about Bearsy and Bletch, but because we don't want to embarass them we won't tell. My expectations were confounded though, Pap is not fat (I don't know where I got that from), Lou is not a truck driver, Bucks is an immigrant to Berks, Goatboy's laugh wasn't an obscene gurgle, we learnt the etymology of various people's names and I had to leave before I'd my ration of pints and so managed to avoid embarassing myself.

ant Posted 17 May, 2015 Share Posted 17 May, 2015 Glad I came along That extraordinary match of football (and the conclusion of our home fixtures) deserved marking and I'll try to pop in more often next year. The South Western's a cracking pub with decent beer. Plus the garden's top class when basked in sunshine. Stretched my statement of "1 or 2 drinks" to its limit but then it's been one of those weekends. In fact apart from briefly being convinced that I was dying whilst on the train back from London (Saturday AM), I've been hangover-free all weekend despite consecutive days of heavy boozing. Perhaps I should volunteer my body for medical research... Things I learned: apparently I don't look as expected (despite my Twitter account, as linked in my Location, featuring a recent pic of me ); despite my protestations I am still a kid (human, not goat) by 'The Lounge' standards; pap (R.I.P.) is now my chief career adviser; everybody meeting up must either be easygoing and amiable or you were all just on very good behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO5 4BW Posted 17 May, 2015 Share Posted 17 May, 2015 At the risk of labouring the point I agree with the sentiments above - sunshine, a 6-1 win and several beers with pleasant company in a nice pub. And a chat on the train back - thanks Bucks. Would be very happy to do that again next season. It's also good to know that the forum isn't just populated by internet warriors and children.

Bucks Saint Posted 15 September, 2015 Share Posted 15 September, 2015 Its been a while....but the usual suspects are gathering pre match on Sunday, and we would welcome anyone who wants to join. A bit of banter, catch up, over a beer while we talk ****e about the upcoming match, what's not to like? Exact time tbc, but safe to assume 2.30 onwards, latest. Likely to be at the Farmhouse again.

You can only imagine how epic the #bantz was from the 12 bantersaurus rexes of forums. Pap is obviously the archbishop of banterbury, with Jeff turning up in his bantmobile, if Lou was a footballer she'd be Eric Bantona, Bucks could fill the role of Bantonio Banteras with aplomb. In fact if their meet up was a stage show it'd be Bantom of the Opera. SAdly i dont think i'll ever make drinks with the bantonomists as when it comes to #bantz i'm only a bantom weight.
