Hello everybody. :wave: Two weeks tonight is the date for the next monthly shindig at the Harlequin. :banana::banana::banana:

The pub can be found on Nursery Street next to the old Aizlewood's Mill. Buses 47/48/53 stop right outside and there is a vast free car park next door.

This meet is traditionally very newby friendly so if you're thinking of getting out and making new friends now is your chance. :) Expect the atmosphere to be laid back with occasional outbursts of helpless cackling laughter and great craic.

Everyone is invited to the party, the more the merrier. :partyhat:

Those coming:
Swami Dhyan
SpiderPete
Zinger549
mojo
Agent Orange
pattricia
steelhead31
mort
EdnaKrabappe


Those may be coming:

Ooooh you are?? I wasn't going to come 'cos I've got about seven hundred essays due in next week and I'm off the booze for a while but this changes things.....and Jet usually comes to these so you might finally meet him! I will see how the work is coming along!

ooh, i've been meaning to try the harlequin! if i can clear it with 'er indoors, i might well be able to come along to this...

those of you who have met me before can admire my newly grown, fully waxed handlebar tash! :D

Due to me moving this is a meet I cannot go to.

Have a great night and if someone want to have a vodka and coke in my absence then please do :)

i havent been to the harlequin i must get my map out

There (http://www.viewsheffield.co.uk/pubsandbars/the-harlequin-maps-44499.html) ya go! It's easy to find, being on a main road. Plenty of parking next door at Aizlewoods Mill, some buses stop just outside and there are loads that go from The Wicker, 5 minutes walk away.

Ah...maybe I will get to hand over the mugs and wooden cat. :)

I might not make it now, as I don't have any transport, and have no idea how one would get there on the public thingy .. bus ... is it?

Shame, cos I was looking forward to being there this time :(

You might get me for a bit. Got a meeting after work but that should mean i can come.

Just be careful what you wish for Pattricia. Last time I told a joke the audience was with me all the way...well almost...I managed to shake them off at the bus station. :help:

Looks quite likely I will be there tonight :)

I have come down with man-flu and dont feel too good, so sorry going to have to miss this one :(

Oh dear, and I was gonna sit next to you tonight !:(

Ha ha!
Managed to get Agent Orange to dust off his wallet, blow out the moths and buy me a belated birthday drink ;) and got one from Steely too- result!:D
Plus, got to meet Crayfish finally! I can't say nice things about him anymore now, too shy now I've met him in the flesh! :blush:
Was reminded of that wet Sunday conversation, where I was lushing a few years ago, and Pattricia, you said, "He's not all that!" :hihi:
Great to see everyone else too and I look forward to the reggae dog party Swarmi!
Zinger, WHERE WERE YOU GOING?

Thanks are also due to Chris behind the bar for service often above and beyond the call of duty. :)


My personal highlight of the evening was going to the bar quite early on and overhearing steelhead31 asking Peaches what part of Donny she lived in. When she said Balby I said, "Me too.
I told her the street name I used to live on...she said, "Me too."
I told her the number of the house...

...she said, "That's my house...I've lived there for 17 years!"

Cue the music for the Twilight Zone or what!

Muchos grassy arse to Dozy for playing postie. :love:

I was going home. I walked up passed cathedral then down the moor. That's just the way i've always walked. I know you can walk via Wicker.

I always think one should conduct the same conversation in two places!

Postie? No idea what you're talking about, love.

#goes to hide nice new mugs further back in the cupboard, giving the new pussy a stroke in passing#

You went a long way round didnt ya ?:suspect:

And me, just finnished the night!

Was great to see you all again!!! And good to see some new (to me atleast) faces!! :)

See you all @ the next one :D

:suspect:NUDGE! :suspect:

Mmmmm...upon reflection and the sober light of day...I would say we were all in excellent order. :cool: :)

It was lovely to meet you all, shame about the circumstances but hopefully the next shall be because i made the effort!

Swarmi, I'm still getting cold shivers about our conversation last night! I still can't quite believe it! What are the odds of that.... spooky

Excuse our absence-had every intention of coming down, but was at Uni all day so when I got home I cooked tea whilst Andy walked the dog then made the mistake of sitting on the sofa.......as if I was ever going to move after that when I had Neighbours and lots of Jelly Bellys from the weekend! Hope you all a lovely time, Jet had monk on that he wasn't allowed to come and see his Aunty Dozy!!

Sorry I missed it, after a day of moving furniture and heavy work in the garden, I was simply too tired. Glad you all had a good night though :)

My first time in going, was great to meet you all :)

You went a long way round didnt ya ?:suspect:
I don't think it's longer.

Great night with great beer and great people. Who said the Harlequin was going downhill? :D

I don't think it's longer.

Which direction did you go in ? :huh:

Which direction did you go in ? :huh:
