Not much point pouring over maps now Phil's done the routes, however I'm still in Solihull, still have a babysitter, and I'm still happy to go for a beer if anyone fancies it. I wouldn't expect you'd want to come over from Northampton just for that though, if it was just the two of us we could go for a beer in Northampton another night, though if a few of us wanted to meet up then I suppose you might want to come over and meet who you're going to France with which is what prompted it initially.
Yeah I know. Well would be good to come over if a few meet up. I don't mind riding over even if just for a beer though. Any excuse for a ride out ;)

Strangely enough, mostly Rock & Metal. But also abit of pretty much anything else.
Lol, I guessed metal - but hoped you would delve into more specifics ;) just I am a bit of a metal fan myself, ranging from anything vaguely rocky to pretty heavy stuff (poets of the fall to say exhumed)

haha, I'm pretty much the same, not so much into indy as i find it abit boring, but old school rock through to some death metal. But we better hold the conversation about specific bands etc till the pub (if it happens of course) before elderlyone gets in a strop with us for derailing his thread :p

Haha pub it is! =)
Anyone got preferences on time or place? Also, who wants to come? =) This is being arranged mainly so I know a few people before the Normandy trip. Plus a new thread means I'm not tarnishing Phil's Normandy one =)

As I said in the other thread, I'd be up for it. Solihull is easier for me but given I'm already there I think I'd be by far travelling the least distance, so I'm happy with Brum if that's easier for other people (public transport, last train home, etc). I'd feel bad dragging Fallen over from Northampton to Birmingham for a beer though, I suggested this date because I happen to be in Brum already and at a loose end. Convenient for me is not a reason to drag Fallen over from Northants :lol:
So I'll sit back and let Fallen arrange this and if other people want to go, and he wants to do it, he can tell me where and when.

As in the previous thread, chances are I'll be alrite for a pint on Saturday, Solihull isnt too far away so im happy to meet there.
I'm happier with Solihull as I'm possiy going to be coming from further south but seeing as I've never been to Solihull I'd need some pub recommendations? I really don't mind travelling to Brum if it's whats easiest for the majority though. I'm free all day that day so maybe early afternoon as a rough time guide?

Can you get public transport to Solihull or would you be driving/riding?
metalhead19
21-02-12, 10:15 PM
I would be driving (or riding depending on the weather). I live too far from a train station to make it worth while putting up with public transport.

I can't do until about 8 in the evening I'm afraid. My Mum isn't well, so whilst she is fine to babysit, I need to get my son bathed and ready for bed before I can come out.

The Coach House pub on Herbert Road. I've seen bikes parking in the Touchwood multi-storey opposite, and there are definitely bike parking bays in there, but I don't know if you have to pay.
It might be free after 6 or something anyway. I'll check it out otherwise I'm sure I'll find somewhere! Everyone cool with the Coach House?
coach house is fine, i'll meet you guys there at about 8pm then, im getting train up so no worries about parking for me :)

Coach house works for me, never been before, but parking looks ideal opposite.

Undecided whether to ride or drive there yet, will decide that tomorrow. But i do ride I'll probably be on the SV (blue pointy)
Cool well I'll keep an eye out =)

Hey mate yeah it was rammed! Was good - thanks to everyone that came out! My legs froze on the way back and Psy lost feeling in his feet lol but was worth it =)

Hey guys, good to meet most of you for the first time and to and see Rob again. It was a good evening. Pub was fine, can't believe we spent the whole evening sitting outside in February, but hey can't complain if the weathers good enough to let you do it. Tom and I were definately facing the wrong way to get a view of the talent ;-)
Thanks everyone for coming and see you again soon.
the talent was pretty much hanging out everywhere so not too much bother about facing the wrong way haha,
really threw me off when i went to the Gents and three blondes came out the cubicle giggling, felt i had missed out on a key moment in my life there.
Lol! Bet you felt well deprived :P
I DID!!!!! felt cheated out of an experience. you know like when david attenborough says "we have heard that there are a dozen lions a few miles ahead hunting" and he gets there and all that is left is a carcass and a few lions just chilling out. thats how i felt.
im going to complain.
metalhead19
26-02-12, 09:18 PM
im going to complain.
To the three Blondes or to the Bar Staff? ;)
To Whom it may concern ;)
metalhead19
26-02-12, 09:22 PM
Well, that'll be a nice letter to yourself then, as its your concern that you werent invited into their cubicle :p
and i shall enjoy reading the letter and i will change any policies as deemed necessary so that i shall never have this unpleasant experience ever again. adding to my sincerest apologies, i shall send myself some nice beer tokens to compensate myself.

Because thats not stalker-ish at all! But you do seem abit to quick off the mark to have come up with a suggestion like that.....is there something you are not telling us? ;)
he's just annoyed that he missed it too, he was busy in the womens toilets trying to focus his camera lens. ;)
