hiya chaps, was wondering as vandeen had mentioned, who fancies a beer or 20 ? i'm easy anytime but was wondering if this weekend was any good? problems may arise for our brethren below the 55 parallel. so with this in mind i thought maybe a bbq on a suitably lonesome beach in a few weeks time, more of an opportunity to cuddle chris as he was the man of the hour those weeks past. :grouphug:
so in summary ;
this weekend for 55th parallel pintage :beerchug:
and in a few weeks for sub 55 BBQ :campfire:
Now, if I wasn't as poor as a church mouse that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese, then I'd come along, but I am. :(

don't man, you'll make me cry :vio:
I'll be up for something when I've got some cash, but that's not going to be until the end of the month. What were you thinking venue wise?

This weekend is no good for me unfortunately as the parentile units are visiting. I will be spoiled for the weekend, f*^k yeah.
Weekend is a knacker job for me too, but......
Have seconded 4 wheel 5 seat transport for Thursday evening if you're up it.
Quite happy to play non drinking chaufeur/driver untill about 22:00 ish.
Merry can pick you up on the way down to N Shields from Gossy if you're free?
Someone could maybe even stick a compass and map in & we'll give you your first navigation lesson, how to find the bar :lmao:
Jamie, whats the Tynemouth Lodge Hotel like these days? Still decent beer? Or any other sugestions in your localle?
Chris R, offer of a free ride down & back is there & remember I'll not be drinking more than one + a coke or two either :(
If you need to escape the four walls just drop me a PM & we'll sort it out.
Anyone else up for a Thursday eve pint down the coast area?

thursday is cool, i am a captive audience and my dance card is quite empty :)
tynemouth lodge is still decent, but the dolphin is better. its run by a pair of ageing queens, who as well as being lovely chaps are comedy gold if you catch them when they are moaning :BlueTeamE

I could do one or two. What time you thinking of passing by here? Here being walker road.
Merry I should be OK to leave Gossy at 18:50 - 19:00 latest, if we cant persuade Chris_R to come along I should be able to be at Walker Road max 20 Mins. PM me a mobi number & Postcode & house number or a meeting point & I'll give you a buzz when nearly there.
Jamie, do you mean the "New Dolphin" or the "Dolphin Inn",
The "Dolphin Inn" hasn't had the best of reviews lately:-
"On 07-9-2011 colliedog said : "First impressions of this place was a fairly friendly face who stank of cigs, the floor in the bar was sticky so were the tables, we had a drink and there was lipstick on the wife's glass. Ordered a rump steak and it came very quickly, but it was a slice of topside beef which I asked to be med / rare and it was very well done, the chips tasted of very well used grease ( #### ), the so called salad was all wilted and disgusting . and it was not cheap, far to expensive. My opinion , Sack the chef and the bar staff, pressure wash the whole place , re-employ nice staff who don't smoke and start all over again. No star rating for this ####hole ."
Jamie also could do with contact details for you & house No again, I've only got Catherines mob.
You've both got PM
Nathan, be good to see you again on the right side of the river :) you've already got my details in the Brockwell PM if we haven't got a venue sorted on here just give me a buzz on the O2 number when you're north of the river & I'll let you know where we are.
Any more for a pint?
:BEER: :)

the dolphin i be referring to is NOT the one on the fish quay, it be the up the road from tynemouth golf club and i have never noticed if it stank of smoke but its usually heaving and stinking of dogs at the weekend.
dog friendly pub and reg the landlord is happy to tell punters to sling their hook if they moan about said doggies, customer service turned on its head :)
although another good pub is the tap and spile, i'm easy :)
Sorry guys. Aside from my epic poverty, I also have a child to look after and a wife to collect from the station. Promise I'll try harder next time.
Promise I'll try harder next time.
No worries mate, hopefully next time indeed.
Looks like just the three of us 'north siders' then, + maybe Nathan. Everything going to plan so far so will see you soon.
Merry could still do with a postcode and door number text for the sat nav, it's quite a long road that.

Would have loved too mate but I'm off shooting phesants with an evening duck flight later on.
This weekend is wall to wall for me, she has aranged so many things apart from the shooting I've got no "Me time" or I would have deffo been on for that :(
I'm looking fairly likely for the Gosforth beer festival meet up on the 10th though :)
You going as part of a group or just on your own? Can we get tickets in advance? or is it just turn up and pay on the door?
Cheers Vandeen
PS no pictures of the pooch on the bimble with Merry, poor hound what'd he do? pinch your sausages lol
Also may be up for one of the Friday bimbles before the end of the year depending on what hol's I have left after the builders have done/booked the flood prevention stuff.

most of the rangers tend to go to bet festival, but you'd be more than welcome to join us :) we usually go first night so we get first chance at the beers before they run out.

Cheers for that, not sure what my usual wing man is up too
+ he's more of a, dare I say it, A LAGER MAN!!!
Usually my plan to hit first night too, nothing worse at a Beer Fest than finding something you really wanted to try has sold out. :(
Hope you took advantage of the weather and got out on the bike today?
The weather was excelent & I took advantage of getting some phesants to go in our next camping game casserole MMMMmmmmmmm ..... but no ducks :(
