Meet - but not at the Blacksmiths Head, 'cos it's Pied Bull burger time. Maybe.

[Grinch]

I think I have the week right, so Wednesday should be this one -
Blacksmiths Head, New Chapel (http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/12/12403/Blacksmiths_Head/New_Chapel)

But feel free to edit it Viney if I'm wrong..

So who's coming?

[Sid Squid]

:confused:

I think I'd be right in saying it's Pied Bull week.

No?

[Grinch]

OK ignore me.. anyone want to edit my ramblings then.

[Sid Squid]

Not at all, you could well be right, but I'm under the impression it's a PB week.

Maybe.

Well it wasn't last time anyway, so it *might* be this time.

Perhaps.

[Grinch]

S'pose, maybe, possibly.

[Flamin_Squirrel]

Not ventured into te SELKent section for a while. Interesting to see that a pub mentioned isnt in Kent, and it's miles outside of London :shock:

[Viney]

Its the pied bull this week fo sho :)

After last weeks inagural(sp?) of the CMDC (Thats the Cromer Massive Drinking Club!) it will be good to get somewhere local with a decent burger :)

Picky picky picky.

You gonna show up or what? I know you know where the Pied Bull is.

[Grinch]

Pied Bull it is... I stand corrected.

Those that are coming see you there... hopefully with out any sort of 'failure' of my bike.

[krazykim]

Anyone got a spare pillion seat on offer?

Picking up from Petts Wood?

...I'll wear leathers? (for the benefit of Ian and Mark :-) )

[Grinch]

Where in Petts woods, I might be able to offer if you want.

oh petts wood use to use that train station every day for 5 years going to london. boy i do not miss them mornings waiting in the cold for a train lol

sorry to go of subject lol

[krazykim]

Thanks Grinch but i shall be arriving on Squid's chariot of fire.

Ricky, i love Petts Wood. It's like a small bubble of village life in amongst Orpington, The (K)Crays and Bromley. 5 Minute walk to the trains and for such a small station the trains go to Victoria, Charring Cross, Cannon Street and Blackfriars! Awesomeness. The roads and houses are lovely and the local (Daylight Inn) does a wine list with most bottles at £6.99....and they give you the lid so you can take the bottle home if you don't finish it! I'm really happy there. (Sorry... i was an estate agent for a while and still get carried away talking about nice areas).

Groovy, the Grinch is going to be at the pied bull :) and burgers on Kim!!

All i have to do now is survive the cycle home :shock:

[Grinch]

Going to try to get to the Gym first so if plans go right I should be there about 8ish.

[krazykim]

I won't be there until at least half eight. Does anyone know if we are to expect rain tonight? X

[SoulKiss]

Not tonight guys, I've got a headache......

[muffles]

...I'll wear leathers? (for the benefit of men everywhere :-) )

EFA :p

Got any pics? I recall it was pretty close to where I am...where you used to be...so am kinda surprised/intrigued! I have a mate in Beckenham and it looks quite nice there (though not quite village like)...but this sounds much more 'out in the country'. Google maps might show me what it's like but I doubt it!

Not tonight guys, I've got a headache......

I'm washing my hair... ;)

[Grinch]

I seems to be dry tonight.

For once I actually agree with you...:shock::smt002

[Grinch]

Nice to see you all there... sorry if I didn't talk to you all, there's only so much Grinch to go round.

[rictus01]

Hmmmmmmmm, a slightly longer journey home than expected, coming off the mini roundabout onto Bickley Park Rd, the bike done a rather nasty sharp "s" seriously threatening to throw me off, fortunately I managed to hold it, pulled over.

I think the innertube was sliced by the puncturing object (whatever it was) as the tyre deflated almost instantly throwing the tyre off the bead.

Called recovery and sat and waited about 40 minutes, watched an Orger go riding passed which surprised me somewhat, then Ben, Doug & Brian pulled up, they kindly stayed with me and chatted for 20 minutes or so until the recovery van arrived, all of us thought it wouldn't be possible to get a bike in the back of it, so I was expecting him to have to call another vehicle, but he carried a fold out bike trailer on board, really neat bit of kit, I got the honour of being the first bike to use it.

So got to get the tyre repaired, but worse things happen at sea :smt102

Cheers Mark

[svsk2]

Cheers MarkI know, that was me. However, 2 pints of cold coke, vibrating bike and cold weather = Dire need of a wee! To be honest, i only noticed it was you about 2 seconds after i went past. Appologies

[Grinch]

Ah it wasn't me then, as I went the wrong way home.

[rictus01]

£12 lighter, but tyre fixed and new tube, just off to fit the wheel now, so all's good.

Cheers Mark.

[Grinch]

Well 12 quid is cheap really.

[rictus01]

Job done, yeah and that's a new tube as well, Watling tyres in Catford, only in there for 10 minutes, good service.

Cheers Mark.
