Roger that. She's probs still recovering from paintball... he he he he. Could we have different drinky poos at different venues to make things a bit more interesting ? Perhaps Sarrie's Head or the Waterfront... in weather like this would be nice to be outside and near a river, seeing all the swans etc. [:)]

Wouldn't mind meeting up - how many people actually come to "drinky poos"?

Why is it called "drinky poos" if it's only a drink?

Unfortunately each month people say that they are going to come along, but then don't turn up, or can't find the rest of us!! So it normally turns out to be just 5 or 6 Ware on Liners that turn up! It would be nice to see some new faces next time! Fridays are bad for me [:(]How about Monday 16th August? Is that OK with you Craig?

5 or 6 isn't bad - but i find the conversations online between a few members arranging the date gets boring and confusing - i would suggest that you have a fixed day every month at the same time and same place to make it simpler.

Well my good friend Homer, If you find this BORING and CONFUSING, how would you cope with REAL people? We find this one night in the month very pleasent, we not only meet new people but have good chats about different threads that have been on WOL recently ie (Scathing Critisim, smelly tip,etc) and most things that interest the members of WOL. Looking forward to meeting you and all the other members, just to have a nice social evening, have a couple of drinks and a few laughs.[}:)] [:)]

Hi All I am back from my holiday and will come to the drink when a date is decided. I did come down last time sat in the garden on my own couldnt see see any oranges on any of the tables of the other people out there and so finished my drink and went home. We need to make it clear when we are there it is us especially the people who know each otherso the rest of us can find you. Fingers crossed for the next one!!! [:D]

Hi Acey I believe none of us carried an orange nor a bottle of Fairy Liquid! [:D] We were all sat at the first table on the right (under the fig tree). Maybe we should carry something more "in tune", like a folded up paper? Look forward to seeing you there next time [:)]

Anything would be a help didnt what to just go up to a group of people and ask if they are a WOL!!! considering what somepeople have said about certain elements in the Old Bulls Head's garden i might not have got out in one piece!!

Will have a large A4 poster stating "WARE ON LINERS" which I will hold up in the air.... [:D]

Hiya Monkee [:)] As Plus1 and myself have confirmed earlier, The Waterfront will be OK. As long there is plenty of the liquid stuff flowing.[;)]

So to clarify (for those bored and/or confused), the drinky poos will be : Monday 16th August, 7.30pm @ The Waterfront pub, Ware. All good ?
Reply ID 6160
good time good date, just looking forward to good company & liquid refreshment. see you all there. [}:)] [:)]

Monday 16th is fine with us. We didn't fancy a Friday evening at the Waterfront...not conducive to pleasant conversation! Monday is a far better option.
Reply ID 6218
Friday would've been cool just for the great date factor - Friday 13th ! he he. ..but yer right, Monday would be quieter. See yas all there...

Hi, I'm new(ish) to Ware and new to Ware online. As a single, 40 year old, professional (?!), would I be made welcome at the 'Drinks' - or is it a closed shop?
Reply ID 6229
Hi Ben, Welcome to WOL. Anyone is most welcome to the monthly drink session. Your contributions are valuable and we will all be pleased to meet you. [:)]

Does this mean the illusive acey will really turn up? will he be able to ask if we are from WOL or will he be able to read the sign Just me is going to make, Let's wait and see LOL. By the way welcome to wol BEN we just chat and have a drink but always a very nice evening, look forward to meeting you. [}:)] [:)]

Hi How many people are going tonight, and will you be easily recognisable? Ben
Reply ID 6256
Not sure how many are going but we'll be the bedraggled lot sitting outside in the rain!![:D] Let's hope this rain passes over or we'll be stuck inside. Not looking too promising though.

WEATHER UPDATE It's p***ing down in downtown ware at the moment!

Ben - no s**t Sherlock.... rofl ! I'm sure we'll cope... for those looking for the WOL lot... keep an eye out for the sad looking group of muppets in the corner somewhere... one of whom may be wearing a 'Monkey Business' T shirt. [:D]

Late Excuse: I for one won't be able to make it this evening, something else came up and the dates have clashed.

Craig - tsk, excuses excuses. 2 week's detention for u methinks !

Anyways, it was nice to meet Plus 1 & Just me again... and MusicMan with Bird... despite the horrendous downpour !!

Well I turned up at the Waterfront at 9pm and didn't see anyone who looked like they could have been the WOL crowd, I asked a couple of people if they were but I just got a funny look - so I buggered off! Oh well, worth a try!
Reply ID 6287
Hi Ben, We were there, all 5 of us! We sat outside near the water. How come you did not see us !? There was Monkee, UKMan and Bird, Plus1 and myself. We also had a sign on the table that read WOL. We had a lovely evening and hope to renew it again in September (preferably before the 14th) and meet some known and unknown faces. [:)]
Reply ID 6288
I ventured as far as the back door - but couldn't see anyone out there, bit dark, bad eyes etc + I thought with the weather being a bit suspect there wouldn't be anyone out there, so I didn't look THAT closely! Well next time I'll try harder! Did we have a good night?
Reply ID 6290
We were the ones sitting on a bench under a large green umbrella outside, whilst it was peeing down all around us. All very cosy !
Reply ID 6291
Acey what can i say, did you get locked in your room or maybe you just forgot or you cant read the sign just me made for you. well we were there the normal crew as useual minus Craig but we will let him of this time. Nice to see you again uk. bird and monkee,we enjoyed it again hope it was a good evening for the rest of you. As for you Ben very poor excuse you should have ventured further. See you all next month Sorry that pause was laughter. [}:)] [}:)]
