London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

I'd like to suggest an alternate venue for SE drinks: The Kings Arms on Tooley street.

They have a half price food menu on Tuesdays (inc rack of ribs & steak see flyer)
Yeah, it is pretty central but that means others that wouldn't normally come down could/would
There's a decent atmoshpere on a tuesday

What do you think?

What's the price of the brown stuff like?

guiness or beer?

Depending on my mood, either. Good idea for a pub, I'm broke so it's just me being selfish not wanting a pub any more expensive than the Duke. :)

£3.40 guiness
£3.25 ish beers

is that more or less?

Always liked the look of this place. Would stop for a beer on the way SE. Nice idea MG

Seems about the same price wise.

Yeah its a nice little place

What's the rhythms like, Vinyl?

That is the worst flyer I have ever seen.

I will come though, because I am lonely on Tuesdays.

Terrible news about Electrolux today, job losses.
Hope you are not affected.

I am not. I stole it off a romantic novelist who was using it as a pseudonym in a magazine about London.

"And yet I can honestly say, with hand on heart, that neither former prime minister had contrived to whet my fancy with his fiscal grasp. What I was drawn to wasn't their politics, but their power, and when that aphrodisiac is fizzing through my veins, Left or Right simply doesn't come into it - I barely distinguish between the power which comes through high office and the power which comes through 13 Amp sockets, let alone that which flows from different parts of the political spectrum; once the lights are out and we're under the duvet, I'm happy to be approached from either end."

I should really get a new username, but I am so oldskool now (despite my meagre post count) I am reluctant to change it.

This is handily on my way home, I will be there at around sixish.

The last SE drinks was a total f*cking fiasco.......and for that reason, I'm in.


But, where do the bikes lock up? I don't see much fencing in the photos. :(

If I wasent so afiliated with North Drinks I would be there. That is (other than the Dean Swift) my local work pub. I may start poping in for one or two before heading up north though. Will anyone be there at 5.45 tonight?

As a an ex-Bermondsey girl I may well be up for this, can't make tonight, but up for future jaunts - we can throw things at St Michaels pupils (my old school)

Cant remember what the lockup situ is, but can check tomorrow if no-one else has by then

There are railings and lamp posts outside. I will pop in but only very breifly.

I'll try to make it for then, might have to forego my normal setting off with fag in mouth if I need to get up to speed fast though.

Good to meet Charco, VeLLo, and good to see TheBrick(Tommy), and MultiGrooves (jammy sausage had his bike parked up inside the pub; with landlord's permission).

Here's the lowdown:

Decent music, from a powerful and bassy system.

Good food, but ribs, not burgers [Multi can you sweet-talk the publican into offering burgers?]

Good, noisy-ish atmosphere, with people really enjoying a good vibe.

Not much room for bikes, BUT across the street, in easy reach and full view, are loads of railings. I locked my Capo there, and my lock is shit. Kept an eye on it, and all was good.

Oh yeah, the beer was good and cold, and the bartenders (for those who find these things important) where quite attractive. Okay, I meant the female ones!!!

:))

Hi man, good to meet you too!
I agree to what you said on that place, good one! And yesterday it was cool to ride back from the drinks wiht Charco, Multigrooves and TheBrick!

See you there in January I suppose!

Loic

Nice to meet you too GA2G.

See you guys in January.

Nice one. This looks good, North drinks is too far for me.

Looks like my rugby training might be moving to a monday night after christmas so I might be able to make it down..

Dunno if I'd be able to afford going to Souths and the SEs two days in a row.. Might have to be every alternating each week..

Sorry for the non response yesterday didn't go online.

I really liked it last night- good company and very good vibes in the kings arms

@GA2G: I'll have a chat to see if the burger situation can be remedied. And yes, there are some tasty bitz and pieces serving behind the bar- I told Johnny what you said. He says: come back! :-P

I shot off before the rest of you turned up- looks liked I missed a good evening.

Are we going to designate this the site of future SE tomfoolery?

I'll have some of this in the noo year.

Is there any boy eye candy behind the bar? (dont tell MOC)

So the general consensus is to move SE beers to this location.

@ clefty the barman is so-so & as i won't be there again untill the 8th i guess tommy is top ranking eye candy

I think there is a possibility of a MOC Mk2 behind the bar.....if MOC-1 ever acts up.

[Grenadians are known trouble-makers; I can't let them down]

:))

Ginger love...

MOC is as good as gold, but it's nice to have something to look at when he's not around and besides I'm a terrible flirt, sometimes it gets me free beer.

Wasn't going to head down there till New Year, but was just checking..............who's on for a pint later?

Honestly.

My Leprosy has really cleared up!!

Oh dear........my leprosy has flaired up again. Bad timimg. :))

But, on the good side, I'm already full of alcohol!! Work has plied me with beer and champagne all afternoon. Fook knows how I'm going to get home!

I prefer this venue as it's a decent ride and I don't have to ricochet down Archway Hill after 5 pints.

If everyone's leprosy has cleared up, i should be around tomorrow from about 6pm onward if SE drinks is back on?

I shall be there my leprotic friend- we could book a table for the "Unclean Cyclists"?

I'll be in like Flout.

;)

See you there tomorrow. But I'm a late arriver (8:15pm-ish).

Hope to arrive at some point too.

might pop over for 1 or 2 as I work near here before I cycle up to north drinks possibly, depending on whether I do a hill ride that is, be coolto meet new peeps

might swing by tomoz. still the kings arms?

It is indeed good sir.

Is Multi Grooves in da house?!

Any word on the possibilities of burgers from the landlord?

Hungry, thirsty peeps want to know.

:)

Hope to make an early appearance tomorrow. Lookin forward to the grooves

Sorry, finding this a little confusing with the simultaneous threads running but yes I"ll get there 2mo between 18.30 and 21.00.

@G2AG I tried with the bosses but they said the Tuesday night prices were just a promotional thing so burger discount fail :((

Either way c y'all 2mo

This is practically round the corner from me - I may drop in for a swift one and say hello and Happy New Year to y'all.

Great to meet y'all on my first forum outing. Fantastic people, great chat. Much respect to Multi-Grooves for arranging. As has been said by Austrians, I'll be back.

nice one multifest, had a good time drinking eating and chatting last night, it was good to put names to faces

popped my SE cherry last night, excluding the dark night with brm, aidan and jv in new cross many moons ago. nice gathering that. good to catch up with some old faces (tommy, brm, fast eddie and rachel, multi-g, rocksteady, GA2G) and meet a few new ones (sharkstar, mowgster, charco). i am sure to have missed a few but good stuff.

GA2G - those ribs looked amazing - get them on the list dude ;)
charco - spoke card looking good, about 2mm shorter than the GSID one i got but i reckon good to go. will get you a decent G to say thanks.
multi g - good deep chat there dude. bright times yeah.

yep, good to see and meet you peeps!

Good to see Charco, Multi_Grooves, Rocksteady, jonny, and Tommy(TheBrick).

And good to meet Dammit, Sharkstar and Mowgster.

Found out last night the the rack of ribs is HUGE, and easily shared by 3 people, which we did!

Thats was a real £6.95 bargain! Went well with all the rum, beer and Jack Daniels.......

Sorry I missed you Rich.
