Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted October 13, 2006 Are relatively new members invited too? I'm always up for a pint or twelve. 12 pints = six? What sort of maths is that? DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Die 63 Posted October 13, 2006 Sounds like a good idea. I'd be up for something in the London area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted October 13, 2006 Maryport would have the advantage of putting off the faint-hearted and the drive by traffic..... Erm....right, London then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in eternum+ 22 Posted October 13, 2006 But what if we meet up and discover we all hate each other? It's one thing to co-exist amicably in text, but in real life? The DL might fall into a state petty squabblings or worse - vicious member vs. member attacks. Would we ever recover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted October 13, 2006 Member vs member attacks, whatever gave you that idea? My main expectation of a revelation and surprise would be that we'd discover how F*****g ordinary we all are. I'm the one with the stiff right arm and the Carlisle United scarf when we all get together. You're the twenty nine stone darts player, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The DL might fall into a state petty squabblings or worse - vicious member vs. member attacks. Would we ever recover? Alternatively we could choose a hotel with free wireless. Sit in our rooms and talk remotely. Sh*t just realised, that's what we do now!!! I am sure we are mature and gentlemanly/womanly enough to leave hatchets at the door.

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted October 13, 2006 We'll I'd be up for it and will be in London for 2 weeks over Christmas. Have no idea about good venues etc as I haven't been there for so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as we sit there, Richard O'Sullivan walks past, looks and sees us all and soils himself, right? I think an invite has to go out to somebody on the list, if only for them to officially decline...

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted October 13, 2006 I think an invite has to go out to somebody on the list, if only for them to officially decline... In view of his forum being kept alive almost entirely by DL members, may I suggest Mr George Melly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Die 63 Posted October 13, 2006 Does Brinsworth House have "function rooms". It would be the perfect venue. BTW there's a video on their website now. No sign of Dickie O, but Norman Wisdom makes a brief appearance (looking very healthy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 13, 2006 That reminds me, Windsor still owes me a pint. How about "Ma" Cameron's in Little Belmont Street? Somebody that knows a place North of the Tay and Dee river. Maybe, but the "Prince of Wales" has a better pint. Then again for a punch up we could go to "Peep Peeps". Not as well as I know this place. How about the Double Two down on Balnagask Road? If it´s still there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slave to the Grave 26 Posted October 13, 2006 How about Walthamstow dog track? It has function rooms and a bar and if we all hate each other or haven't got anything in common, we can concentrate on the races instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted October 13, 2006 I hereby recommend Julius's of course that would exclude our non-merry crowd. I would reccommned The No Name but they went under. The Whitehorse still has the blood from Dylan Thomas soaked into the table but its become horribly snooty. Just the other day I was asked to leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The DL might fall into a state petty squabblings or worse - vicious member vs. member attacks. Would we ever recover? I am sure that we all know how to behave cordially to those whom we despise. I'm all for meeting though I suggest that the pub should have a garden in which I can observe the comings and goings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RRTFLMHO... I would think that we should invite just about the full number who are still alive (wondering if they would let Ronnie Biggs out for a few hours) though all those we can hope might turn up, and are not "in official decline" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarolAnn 926 Posted October 14, 2006 I think it should be somewhere that the attendees can set up a webcam and those of us who can't attend in person can attend virtually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted October 14, 2006 I won't be going because I like my face in the form it is now. I'm also perfectly happy with the number of teeth I currently have. Is it really a good idea to have much of the deathlist elite at the same room at the same time? There could be some radical attempt to wipe you all out... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted October 14, 2006 This place Would seem appropriate (read the accompanying caption - there's quite a few such places in the Emerald Isle). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One shot Paddy 1,206 Posted October 14, 2006 This place Would seem appropriate (read the accompanying caption - there's quite a few such places in the Emerald Isle). Yes I used to drink in a bar that was also the local undertakers. The bar is closed now , but they still do funerals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted October 14, 2006 OSP, are you having anything approaching an out-of-province experience at the thought of Ian Paisley possibly discussing day to day business with Martin - he has the power of life and death - McGuinness?
