Exeter meet?

[Idaho]

Henry's Bar surely - for sheer convienience.. to me!

I don't mind where. Nothing in Exeter is more than a 10 minute walk.

[Idaho]

Where is the Well House?

Where is the Well House?

its opposite the cathederal, bit quiet, but ok....

 

[Idaho]

but I cannot go to a pub and not drink alcohol.... thats like going to a restaurant and not eating

Plus, I couldnt manage to stay awake long- i fall asleep very early nowadays.


Will see how it goes though.

I'm sure not all of us will be getting paralytic straight away. Go on - come along.

 

[rubbershoes]

is this likely to be a child friendly meet up?

I wouldn't go that far

I was thinking of an evening thing.

yaaaaa, was kinda thinking of drunken messyness going on until the wee hours.....depends what youre kids are used to i suppose!

 

[rubbershoes]

ok

 

[oooomegrapes]

ok

thats just my thoughts hun (im in need of a good mash up!), i have no idea what happens at meets around these parts.....


whats the norm people?

 

[fizzerbird]

There are no normal people in Devon lol

I'm up for whatever everyone else wants to do...but especially bombscare and not sure if I should get ratarsed as have feeling we will be on bike and last time I left half cut from fucts and squirrels place I couldn't stop myself from doing my killer whale impressions on the ride home

Well, what *I* was thinking might be nice (weather dependent) is we start off Saturday afternoon so peeps with kids can come along then move on into the evening. We could get the boat down from the Quay to the Double Locks - lots of outside space for small people to run around and grown-ups to chase 'em - then hang around there for a few hours. Last boat leaves around 4pm I think so can either all get that or walk back into town or book a taxi.

Another kid-friendly option if it's worth staying outside is The Malthouse. Not the loveliest pub in the world but, if you're outside, there's views over the river plus a playground for the children.

Then those left standing/grown-ups could take over The Hourglass (my personal favourite!) - and eat the best chips in the world before a final evening assault on Timepiece with possible club visit at the end.

Or, dare I mention it, The Amber Rooms - Exeter's NO.1 'Style Bar' (HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA)

 

[Idaho]

I am happy to do a family meet earlier in the day. The trouble is that running around after a 4 year old and two toddlers doesn't tend to be a very condusive to being sociable! I get one sip of beer and half a sentence between rounding up errant little 'uns.

 

[secretsquirrel]

Well, I just want to make sure everyone's got the chance to be included!

And, frankly, if the weather's good any excuse to get the boat down to the Double Locks

Anyway, if there's a few of us on small people herding duty you may well get the chance to have at least 2 sips of beer before springing into action

 

[Idaho]

Last time we went to the Double Locks the girls were obsessed with scaling the bank with the aim of throwing themselves in front of passing cyclists. If that failed then a head first dive through the fence beyond the path into the brambles could redeem a few style points.

 

[oooomegrapes]

all sounds good to me

i vote that squirrel and her organisational skills should take it from here

 

[rubbershoes]

i wondered when someone was going to mention Timepiece

 

[Idaho]

You love it in all it's lowest common denominator glory

 

[rubbershoes]

i've just remembered an urgent appointment with a pail of dirty nappies

so no timepiece for me


ever

 

[Idaho]

Where would you prefer Mr Shoes? It's just a place to carry on drinking imo.

Oh poo

i've just remembered an urgent appointment with a pail of dirty nappies

ever

That's why I mentioned the joy of Amber Rooms as well Mr Rubbershoes. Tis where all the stylish people hang out you know

THE AMBER ROOMS AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH

*goes off to look for flights to Boston for that weekend*

 

[Idaho]

All you flippin' ponces I get to go out to a pub about once every couple of months, and to a club about once a year at most - I would be happy if we ended up in Mecca Bingo on pensioner night

Actually the Cavern has provided me with the most entertaining club nights in Exeter (all two of them).

 

[rubbershoes]

i doubt if i'd be staying for a late session so any late night plans shouldn't take any account of my (completely justifiable) aversion to timepiece

 

[djbombscare]

Perhaps we oughta do Warehouse Boxes and Boogies down on the Quay.

It is all one place it just got three names.

If your 14 its called boogies,
if your 15 its called Boxes,

and if you still go without feeling way too old at 16. . . you call it warehouse.

Of course any real 16 year old is up at Roccoco drinking they're own bodyweight in Bacardi Breezers.

You live in Devon - you can't afford to have taste down here

 

[oooomegrapes]

I dont give a shite where we go, as long as theres booze, music and good company im all set

 

[fizzerbird]

Is this still happening?

When is it again?

soz

 

[Idaho]

I'm still in. I think. When was it again?

*checks*

29th April. Should be good.

 

[secretsquirrel]

Oh tits. I just realised I've agreed to go to a ball that day. We're organising it at work and it's for 'charidee' mate so I'll be setting up all day and then going in the evening.

Er, since it's bank holiday w/end could we make it the Sunday instead? Lazy Sunday lunch etc etc etc. Double Locks will probably have kicked started the sunday BBQ by then too...

Pretty please

*smiles sweetly*
