I might be good for this one as well

Me to me to

I would love to come to that and meet you all.

Hmm I was planning on going to the Session Convention on the 17th but now that Christmas has passed I have realised just how little funds I've got. Hopefully I will make this, I did have something planned on the 17th which I'm not all that excited about, so if I can wriggle out of it, I shall be there!

All new comers welcome. Will be grand to see a plethora of fresh eager faces to mix amongst the saggy drunken faces of the current lot.

So....

Saturday 17th Jan @ 1pm-ish
The Coal Hole
The Strand



I would recommend anyone who is coming for the first time and may turn up later in the day (post 4-5pm) to pm me for my mobile number as we have been known to move on to other pubs.

So as a newbie who's never been to something like this what actually happens? Is it -

a) a group of blokes talking about cars and football over a pint
b) a lot of shifty card sharps outdoing each other
c) lots of friendly people helping each other with points of technique
d) all of the above

All of the above plus some food eating and performing for random strangers once in while.

There's not much car or football talk but a lot of really low humour and sometimes some magic. Now and again someone says something constructive and everyone else stops talking about whether you'd rather be invisible or able to fly (or whatever similar schoolboy chatter is on the agenda) and stares open mouthed at the offender before muttering under their breath in a Daily Mail housewife style about the state of things nowadays then pointing out loudly that if you're invisible you can get into girls changing rooms unnoticed and flying can't match that for love nor money.

Hmmm. It depends if you can switch the invisibility on and off or not. If it's permanent then that would be a real pain. If it's controllable then it's probably better than flying, mainly because a flying human would soon get captured and experimented on by the military. Comics and Hollywood never lie about these things!

just passing through - i'll be there on the 17th...

it's not for the easily offended at times; or people with a strict sense of "humour"

...or any sense of moral decency...

Oh poo. I'd have loved to have come along, but I'm driving up to Oxford for Paul Bell's performance that night and can't do both in one day.

4r53!

Yes, once again I will be auctioning off my dead grandmother to the lowest moral offer

Is she an eater?

I'll take that question as a first bid by mr.Grue.

An eater... I was thinking of a different activity for her but the highest bidder can do whatever floats their boat

A Milkshake...
