Geeklawyer has been quiet of late due to attending various conferences and spending a long weekend in Yorkshire. He was intending to refrain from blogging for a few days more but has been outraged to see that Ruthie is attempting to usurp his role as social organiser for the law bloggers drinking contest.
Fortunately for her no-one has shown any interest in her event, which is as one would expect: I, however, will organise things properly and imminently.
That phrase...
Erm only becuase I knew if I left it to you nothing would happen. However I’m sure no-one will be disappointed if you want to organise another event.
I knew if I left it to you nothing would happen
You mean like the blogging conference?
Um I seem to recall that the conference was my idea and that I nagged you for some time before the date was ultimately fixed…
The conference was indeed your idea. There was no nagging from you, the occasional comment & question yes, but in fact this was a rare instance when you were not eternally nagging. I was entirely self motivated self-starting and you made no significant contribution to it.
So there.
Would it be possible to hold the binge-drinking session at the Buona Vista Social Club? aka as The Gaucho Grill in Chancery Lane. Cafe Royal… a bit naff?
The Cafe Royal is Ruthie’s idea: yea naff, but she is working class so she has no clue about such things. I’ll get somewhere sensible.
Charon: I agree the Cafe Royal is naff. I only chose that venue as I’m doing a course there that day so it’s simply then a matter of stumbling downstairs to the bar. Since I also may be assailed by a bunch of strangers and VM will not be in attendance to protect me I thought it best to at least convene at a venue where I was familiar. But if everyone is then in agreement we can then go on somewhere else.
Binge-drinking! so it’s true I will be reporting you all to Mr Mortimer for his next write up. What did you drink when you were up North? not the tea I hope!
He drank a mixture of local Ales, Pear Cider, Cider, Chili Beer & Larger from what I can recall…
Ps ‘Pear Cider’ is of course a nonsense word created by feckless branding companies who think you should put ice in cider and that plebs can’t understand the work Perry.
Where abouts in Yorkshire?
Luverly little Otley. I will blo about this at some point - when I have a few pictures
