7pm?
On the assumption that the flying pig will be shut for some reason or other at that time, maybe we should start at the Devonshire arms (or any other better suggestion) and work our way round and back to finish there instead?
And they've got a band called Four Doors Down playing tonight, who Google tells me are a nine piece covers band with a Hammond organ and a horn section.
I'm not even kidding. You might actually be able to request The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!
Yes, ta. Made the mistake of going out for a "gentle" bike ride in the howling wind and will now be sitting on my couch nursing my poor thighs and lungs for the forseeable.
So there was no nine piece band with a horn section in the end, then?
Sadly there were no nine-piece band... though the pub crawl was pretty ace: Kingston > Cambridge Blue > Alex > Blue Moon > Free Press > attempt at going to the Flying Pig but actually ended up in the Earl of Derby (hmm).
I managed to get on the wrong part of the train at Cambridge (the train divides and the front four coaches go to Kings Lynn). I was mid-piss when a guard knocked on the door and told me to get on the right bit, which luckily I did.
After the car crash of my thread
and RUINED Doodle (since deleted, and fuck you all who defaced it, you've ruined the WetherCrawl forever), tentative YES!
Sweet!
hmm
Nice one warny for taking up the baton
I'm in. Saturdays 16/23/30 August are best for me

and again

Please arrange to have it then...
Only if it's in September

I'm free on all of the above.
Because I have no life.
I can see them
Yeah, me too.
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE, SEAN!
I've this'd some dates
But actually I'll be in Glasgow at some point around then. Don't plan around me (Argentina).
I have also done the thising of some dates
but they're not showing up (2nd and 16th).
We are definitely going to GW this time.
meet at GW
Hills Rd pub crawl down to Inner Sanctum.
Done.
carnage.
I'll be bringing my night goblins

That's right, a Citadel paints joke.
:D
Please can you do this in September please?
Please?
13 September 2014

You don't want to know what I'm doing on this date
I'd rather come to Fenino :(
congratulations!
(Douglas's birthday)
20 September 2014
Epimer? Shucks? JohnM?
well?
Sorry warny
I've had to give up drinking for health reasons so pub crawls no longer hold the appeal that they used to.
really? sorry to hear that dude,
hope you're ok. x
only if at least one person posts a :D under my Citadel paints joke
fine, I'll come
:D
25th September 2014
***CONFIRMED AS 20 SEPTEMBER 2014***
Stretching summer a bit, but there we go.
(shucks has confirmed, by the way. Waiting to hear back from nedry, tbo, Chuck Garfunkel, pocketmouse and the Osborne Arms)
DIARISED.
I'm going to be the only lady, aren't I? #sausagefest #ssp
won't take us long before
we've all got ladies on each arm (temporary tattoos courtesy of citadel paints)
:D
citadel paints!
:D
I totally get this joke!
NOT!
ask Epimer
I had to leave the room
last time JohnM chastised me for bringing a woman to the previous one
I've learned my lesson.
AWESOME
good work warny!
oh, excellent!
:D
This is 17 days away.
Sheeeeeiiiiit. Will see what I can do!
TRAIN-VOM, HO!
YES!
it's on the calendar, written in trouser beer
DarwinDude and zxcvbnm- now confirmed

#SSP
except You-Know-Who
(Voldemort)
NB. Last train back to London is 11.15pm
so can we end on a pub by the station plz?
Flying Pig is by the station
so yeah
YES!
Aces.
Also if any other LMEs wanna join me, a day return to Cambridge is only £16 (!)
cure JohnM so he can drink again
bargain!
Come on LME, now's your chance to meet TEAM BALLBREAKER x
AHM OOT
:(
i look forward to meeting you, Oot
No need to shout.
Wish I'd realised this was happening before now.
Will think the options through.
This is THIS SATURDAY :D
For a day or so, I thought that there were replacement buses and all kinds of shit on the train lines this weekend. But that's next weekend :)
FENINO
F-E-N-Ietc.
Doesn't quite scan to the tune of D I S C O
Where we gonna start? What time?
7pm?
On the assumption that the flying pig will be shut for some reason or other at that time, maybe we should start at the Devonshire arms (or any other better suggestion) and work our way round and back to finish there instead?
I'm happy to start earlier if the city folks traveling up want to make more of a day of it
And join up with people who have adult responsibilities later.
^this.
Might even head up earlier and have a bit of a mooch. I've not been to Cambridge since my awful, AWFUL interview in 2003.
also, h_y_g, you gonna come too?
Depends on my cash situation basically, last weekend before pay day, innit.
I'm saying yes at the moment, but I might have to reconsider...
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Ah, do come, hyg!
First pint is on TEAM BALLBREAKER for being last year's AQOS champ.
I'll buy you a pint
that's two drinks already!
Well, how can I refuse offers like this?
I'll buy you a 'congrats' pint
If you're anything like me, you've enough to be hammered now. See you there.
i want to hear more about this interview.
you'll prob bump into Shucks if you head in to GW and/or Fopp
I can be around any time from about 5, if you fancied an earlier start?
Devonshire Arms would be a good first pub - really easy to get to from the station.
How about this for a possible route round? http://i.imgur.com/OnBfArJ.png
Alright, 5pm at Devonshire Arms it is!
Don't blame me if I'm predicting dissers deaths and pouring pints over sadpunk by 9 though.
Route looks good.
Aside from the horrendous non-north allignment.
I couldn't think of a way of making it a neat circle
unless we went Blue Moon > Free Press > Elm Tree > puking in a taxi > Flying Pig
sold!
FAO THEWARN
(and anyone else who gives a shit)
I'm booked to get into Ely at 4.13pm and there's a train to Cambs at 4.25pm.
I need some waterproof trousers.
oh ace
I think that 4.25pm train is the train through from Kings Lynn. I'll bring train beers. And a sou'wester.
:D
:D
This is making me smile a LOT.
It's gonna be awesome :)
Cambridge pubs are ace, esp. round Mill Road
I'm gonna make sure I have a really REALLY big lunch.
I'm going to eat a lot of sandwiches on the train.
I'm going to turn up on an empty stomach and sway into Fagito's at 9ish
basically this:
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4431511#r7541955
:D
I'm wearing a wetsuit.
alright, FuzzyDunlop
I'll try to get that train too. It's about 15 minutes on the train from Ely to Cambridge:
Enough time to neck a couple of beers!*
* then stagger into whsmith on trying to find the station exit, throw up over the white dwarf section, and get arrested.
spoiler alert: WD only available in GW's now.
Warhammer Visions is the one you shamefully buy, hiding it behind a copy of Razzle and The Daily Mail.
I'm going to go in a bit early, go to Fopp/GW
see you in the Devonshire hastily assembling new vampire counts models and wondering why I've bought £3 Guttermouth albums.
My anticipation for this is REALLY ramping up, guys.
Mine too!
YES
omgggggggggggg
Any more Londoners up for this?
asks an important question AND puntastic
I doff my cap to you, sir.
ahh now I get my own accidental pun
I will bring train beers and a pack of cards.
*Magic booster packs
Train draft/draught!
I'd bring KGB vs CIA but I think one game would last longer than the train journey :(
We could play it in the pub!
Explaining the rules to a bunch of tipsy DiSers will be fun, right?
Have you played it? It's good though only 2 players :(
(I guess teams would work)
I'm so knackered/stressed from work this week
That I'm going to either fall asleep on someone by eight or massively overdo it and throw up on Public Enemy Art Garfunkel.
You've all been (the_)warned.
also I got some 'Spoons vouchers in the post yesterday
Don't fall asleep on me, I'll be covered in beer by then.
makes it sound like we're going to organise some co-ordinated beer-spilling effort
beerkkake, if you like.
I don't like
Anyone else wondering if they can remember everyone's real names?
you're stefan, right?
that's right, Ross
oh, we're all going as Friends characters are we?
Cool.
I'm going as a Gunther/Eddie cross.
I'll be Estelle (Joey's agent)
That leaves.... Mr Heckles?
and Janice
that's epimer, obviously.
oh. my.
KHORNE THE BLOOD GOOD, LORD OF SKULLS, GOD OF BLOOD, WAR AND MURDER
I've never met any of you.
Apart from h_y_g.
My name's plastic, obvs.
You can get my name from the various social media platforms we share.
So you're happy with plastic? Good, I've spent hours trying to pronounce pn.
TOMORROW
Guys, I have warhammer top trumps
:D
See you tomorrow
thewarn and/or epimer - could you message or text me your number(s) as I lost yours when I dropped my phone in water a couple of months ago?
otherwise, see you either on the train or at the Dev at 5!
Have Nedry officially confirmed?
no, but I walked past The Flying Pig yesterday
And they've got a band called Four Doors Down playing tonight, who Google tells me are a nine piece covers band with a Hammond organ and a horn section.
I'm not even kidding. You might actually be able to request The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!
SCENES.
that sounds top.
hi guys
I'm currently suffering from a lingering migraine. Hopefully it'll fuck off soon but I'm struggling a bit just now.
:(
Get well soon! X
The pale hand of illness always tickles Fenino :(
Hope you recover, I'm currently awaiting Niki at KX.
IMPORTANT FENINO UPDATE!
The first pub is shut for the night. So we're starting in the Kingston on Kingston Street. We're sitting out the back.
Great night, nice to meet you (PN) / see you again (everyone else)
Astonishing that both our first and last pubs were shut, but the ones in between were pretty awesome.
FHM.
Cambridge has some top notch pubs.
What a good evening.
Top notch pubs + The Earl Of Twat
Sorry I wussed out guys
Spent the day in bed feeling awful.
Hope a good time was had by many.
We raised a glass to you
Sorry that you couldn't come; hope you're feeling a bit better today?
I'm honoured
Yes, ta. Made the mistake of going out for a "gentle" bike ride in the howling wind and will now be sitting on my couch nursing my poor thighs and lungs for the forseeable.
So there was no nine piece band with a horn section in the end, then?
Bad move
Sadly there were no nine-piece band... though the pub crawl was pretty ace: Kingston > Cambridge Blue > Alex > Blue Moon > Free Press > attempt at going to the Flying Pig but actually ended up in the Earl of Derby (hmm).
We also played Warhammer Top Trumps.
Top quality night out, really enjoyable! :)
Shame you couldn't make it Epimer, but understandable if you're feeling rough.
We should meet up more regularly. Great pub selection as well!
+ great pubs
+ thewarn knocked over pints (twice I think?) but both times they were empty glasses HURRAH
+ laughed a ridiculous amount
Agreed, it was ace!
Warhammer Top Trumps (which I think I won, as much as anyone playing Warhammer Top Trumps in the pub can be considered a winner)
Shocking film revelations (Airplane?)
C_C_B telling an anecdote and then apologising for it immediately afterwards
FHM
Dry jeans all night
The contraband coke got its own back on me btw
fizzed up everywhere and completely covered me in fizz. I wasn't even dry by the time I got in at 2am for fucks sake.
:'D
That's what you get for fucking with Coke AND Tesco at the same time!
hilariously we didn't even drink much of it
I fell asleep almost immediately after eating my sandwich.
I found a half-eaten cheeseburger in our black bin the morning after
obvs I'd been to the Kings Lynn equivalent of Fagito's on the way home
the flying pig is an absolute disgrace.
just a shame the osborne arms isn't still around to vie for our custom.
Good night that: cheers guys!
Also
Apologies to those I didn't get to say goodbye to, I had to leg it back to that shit pub because I left my bag there.
And further apologies to thewarn for the resulting hour delay in him getting home.
I was air-drumming to Rage Against The Machine on the train from Hitchin to Biggs
was quite a sight. Obviously drunker than I thought.
:D
I managed to get on the wrong part of the train at Cambridge (the train divides and the front four coaches go to Kings Lynn). I was mid-piss when a guard knocked on the door and told me to get on the right bit, which luckily I did.
Apparently it was Cambridge v Luton on Saturday
which was why so many of the pubs were shut.
