So we're making progress then...it's a quiet beer (and 8 or so noisy ones ) and then food of some description.

Puff - what's wrong with a ruby?

Is MSDW your company or ISP? I have a friend in London who has just emailed me and his address ends in @msdw.com Is this the same company?

I would suggest the Prospect of Whitby in Wapping Wall, for no other reason than I know where it is!

I don't drink, I quaff LOL
Hmmmm, good places round here - Gaucho grill for steaks, ummm thats it unless you are up for a £100 a head Ubon experience. Good friends is good, but frankly I'd probably only do beers as getting home after 11pm for me is a very tuff job.
Ronnie, you know my thoughts on beering with you, posted on another thread .
If it's a good night for me I'll make it whatever you guys plan.

OK, this pub is accross the river from another pub which used to be a big prison. It has flats above it, and loads of tables outside it. Thats about all I know.

Sorry to highjack the thread but Captain Kid, by Wapping nick on the high street sells an interesting lager. I can't remember what it's called (maybe D pils or something has a picture of a fat man on the pump!) but I've seen a few hardened drinkers go awol after drinking that stuff!

I can see the tower from my window (and our new building next to it??) but I'm not on the island.

How about week commencing 19th March, leaning towards the Thursday. This should give all attendees plenty of time to arrange their diaries suitably, and pass on the usual selection of banter and comments via the BBS on the Friday

We can then use the more local knowledge of contributors to this thread to organise a venue. I'm probably going to be in the same boat as Chuck about getting home so may have to leave around 10.30...but could always start a little early

All,

How about thursday march 15th?

Beers at the Henry Addington, then food at wherever. Gourmet Pizza's pretty good if you're not after a gourmet experience (!).

Anybody else in MSDW? I'm on 2nd floor...

Terry
