Just a reminder as it is only a week away now....

If you are within commuting distance of the Thames Valley (Reading in
particular) why not come along for a beer and some food (note: at your
own expense - buy what you consume!).

Tuesday 12th April @ 7:30pm onwards. Location is The George which is
just off the Winnersh junction on the A329M:

http://www.readingrestaurants.com/the_george/

Nosh is good. Some reasonable choices of beer. Car parking available.

It's completely informal, wives and girlfriends welcome. If the
weather was okay (possibly not at this time of the year) we could sit
outside by the river.

Last time we were there we were at the far end of the building from
the entrance. However we'll have to be dictated by whatever seating is
available.

I'll try to remember to put a sign marked UK.D-I-Y on the table.

Or just a few Screwfix or Toolstation catalogues discreetly dotted
around? :-)

Or follow the yellow Cat and DeWalt boots. And there may be a caber leaning
in the corner.

How can you mock when you're too much of a coward to even turn up ?
I suppose that even if you tried coming along, you'd get lost and end up
in Manchester

Nope. It's just that dirty smelly bit between the Lake District, Yorkshire
Moors, Peak District and Cheshire plains that sensible people try to avoid
going to.

I admit that Manchester isn't my favourite destination but it isn't dirty
and it isn't smelly. It's just big.

It's mot as big as London but it's not as dirty or smelly either.

Mary, Ed was poisoned. He is choking. The current Ed must be an impostor.

I think last time we had maybe 8 or so turn up. It's just a jolly
evening where we muse about whatever we want.

I suppose part P and politics will have to come up on this occasion.

Maxie, how long have you been wearing frocks? How long have to been up
trees? Also you said you were fat, so that frock photie must be very old.
But I do see a beer belly there.

A hard life eh ?

It is Maxie, climbing up trees in frocks. Very hard. How do you earn all
this money on a beach, up a tree and wearing a frock?

If you'd seen the pictures you'd realise why :-)

"Darling, drink makes you so beautiful"

"But I haven't been drinking"

"No but I have"

Can't remember who the chap on the left in the 3rd picture was. Maybe it
really was you-know-who :-)

Which bits are not dirty and don't smell then? Has it turned into Monte

I'm sure that would be much more fun. More fun than being naked up a tree
wearing only a frock.

p.s. You can't be naked if you're wearing a frock ... by definition
