Righto, we're at that time of the year again where a Christmas Piss Up in London Town is needed. I propose a date a few weeks before so as many as possible can join in - how about Saturday 23rd November.

This has only been mooted last night, so I've not even got a venue as yet, but I have some ideas. I will, of course and usual, try to make it an easily get-to-able-near-a-traveldodgy place so that those that come into London can take advantage of cheapy rooms in advance.

So...please can y'all start putting names down so I have an idea of numbers initially and I'll get cracking with a venue in the next week or so. Further down the line I'll put the usual FB Group together (for those who are both on FB and happy to join) - I won't be posting the venue on MN as I'd prefer the hairy of hand not to know. Those not on FB I'll chat via PM near the time.

Very sorry for your friend married, and for what must be your huge disappointment in him.
My heart did sink, so I am glad it's not you.

THERhubarb · 07/10/2013 10:19

Blondes I think you were there at the 2011 do were you not? If so you'll know why I'm backing out of this one. (I don't recall a Womble?)

Look forward to all the pictures afterwards!

Hope Dick likes his badge.....

JugglingFromHereToThere · 07/10/2013 11:27

Can anyone help me with a Facebook link ? Or maybe it's here somewhere already upthread ?

  • I'm not very good at these things so not quite sure how it works (old gimmer Blush) - but am on there (mainly to catch up with Dsis and DBro) - would be nice to see any pictures from last years do too Smile
SayCoolNowSayWhip · 07/10/2013 11:38

Rhubarb, I was at the 2011 one, and I just remember you being awesome - funny and friendly. Yes, a bit pissed, but weren't we all??!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/10/2013 14:34

married sorry about your friends but glad it's not you!

Trills · 07/10/2013 14:40

The 2011 one was the one that was downstairs, and had no wifi, so we couldn't do live "you are envious, we are pissed" updates. Is that right?

marriedinwhiteisbackz · 07/10/2013 14:45

Only on Mnet would I have learnt the term AC - I am so looking forward to the badge.

BellaVita · 07/10/2013 17:29

Rhubarb, I was at the 2011 one, you were a hoot. Please come to this one.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2013 18:30

yes i was at the 2011 one rhubarb but tbh you didnt do anything that bad or maybe im just used to my friends getting pissed Wink and i was very drunk myself Blush

2011 was downstairs with no signal/wifi and raven came and i made a total prat of myself by after drinking tons of wine/gin of crying over dh :(

met some lovely mn'ers who were all cuddly most unmn like and made me feel better

but i made a total fool of myself

plus then got lost/was left alone - depending who you want to believe, me or pisty Grin

i think we went back to pistys in am, and i then lay on the sofa dying and throwing up

and drove home and had to stop about 5 times on the m25 hard shoulder to carry on throwing up

was very drunk :( Blush

the womble was last years - 2012

kungfupannda · 07/10/2013 19:07

I think I might be able to make this....

kungfupannda · 07/10/2013 19:18

I can bring my Atrocious Cunt badge from last year.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 07/10/2013 19:24

married only on MN is it considered the highest accolade Grin

Rhubarb?

Ahem!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 07/10/2013 19:25

Excellent Kungfupanda, I have to find mine too. Smile

HepsibubbleCauldronToad · 07/10/2013 19:38

KungFupannda that would be fab! I would love to see you again! She who rescued me when I was new to MN and was being attacked by that horrible now banned cow!

BellaVita · 07/10/2013 19:44

I have my Terry Wogan's Cock badge from my Shiney days. It is on my bedroom windowsill. I dug it out of my makeup basket, still looks ok so I shall use that.

Trills · 07/10/2013 20:03

I think that the first time I met kungfupanda she was pregnant and I didn't notice.

AddictedtoCrunchies · 07/10/2013 20:40

Hello. Would it be ok if I came? I will be coming on the Bristol to London mainline if anyone's travelling that way? I've sent a fb request - am SP.

AddictedtoCrunchies · 07/10/2013 20:45

I also have size 9 feet..Grin

marriedinwhiteisbackz · 07/10/2013 20:49

BBB I remember telling you about when I lived in Kemptown (is that one word or two - can't remember) for six months and only found out later that some of the pubs were gay pubs (was it the Hand in Hand?). Long time ago. I am still quite unworldly really Grin.

Really, really looking forward to meeting kungfu Smile

marriedinwhiteisbackz · 07/10/2013 20:52

Blondes we'll be living vair close the Common by 30th November - shall I go Womble hunting for you. Contemplates changing name to Mm Cholet. Goes to google Mm Cholet.

marriedinwhiteisbackz · 07/10/2013 20:58

Ooh, she's an accomplished cook, prim and proper and quite bossy. I think it fits Grin.

marriedinwhiteisback · 07/10/2013 21:05

Already in use Envy. That Mnetter had better live near Wimby Common, cook and have environmentally friendly tendencies Grin. Growls.

Mintyy · 07/10/2013 21:22

Of course it will be fabulous if you join us Crunchies!

AddictedtoCrunchies · 07/10/2013 21:42

Thanks Mintyy. Bit scared but what's the worst that can happen...?

Mintyy · 07/10/2013 21:45

Hmm, well I'm not sure as I haven't been to one of these big Christmas dos, but from what I can gather you could have one or two jaeger bombs too many and agree to go back to a stranger's room at the Travelodge via Boris Bike, get lost, and/or have your photo taken with a Womble before throwing up every 20 minutes on your way home the next day.

So nothing too daunting Grin.
