What did you get up to on Easter Monday? Us? We launched our monthly DiScover club in Sheffield with Johnny Foreigner and Fury Of The Headteachers. It was fun.

Highlights included: lots of people playing SNES, not messing up the raffle, rewinding/scratching 'One Armed Scissor', drinking DiS cocktails, the bands (obviously) and pizza.

Lowlights: Mike Diver playing Lily Allen (I don’t remember playing that, although I don’t remember much – Ed), the next morning/afternoon.

Before we cut to the pictures, a massive thanks to The Harley for being so hospitable, the bands for playing, and YOU for turning up. If you did. Oh, and while we're at it here's the science bit for next month:

Monday April 21 2008 @ The Harley, Glossop Road, Sheffield

Hardly.

I whipped ass before attempting to play when very, very drunk... and even then I won a round.

dis 'cocktails' made me completely forget about the SNES.

where the frig frog was it?

great night anyways, despite my ex boss completely forgetting who i was and asked my name. probably better that way.

this! although he is much better at dealing with hangovers than you, Rob. :-)

inventory-photo @dionisio | 27 Mar '08, 22:35 | X | Reply

thinking about it properly

(not drunkenly), this was really good and well organised and stuff. well done everybody. yeah.

Is it going to be the same cocktail or are we getting a different one every month? My brain does not like DiSmeister.

harru | 27 Mar '08, 22:35 | X | Reply

thanks!

glad you had fun.

maybe we could vary the cocktail on a monthly basis. any suggestions?

dionisio @harru | 27 Mar '08, 23:31 | X | Reply

can I add my thanks

for a great evening, which I really enjoyed. Good pics.

Can everyone lay off me, please?

Played twice, lost twice.
Not a good day for pool.
Come play me in my yard, though.

walkingwithwolves @Mike_Diver | 28 Mar '08, 12:58 | X | Reply

walkingwithwolves @hoorayforme | 28 Mar '08, 13:13 | X | Reply

chicken.

walkingwithwolves @hoorayforme | 28 Mar '08, 14:11 | X | Reply

In your defence

I did win by default, as you potted the black,although I did used to lose regularly to someone who lost at pool to a blind man once.
