[Essex Boy]

It is because from the Jungles of equatorial Essex to the empty desert sands some part of Essex is always bathed in sunlight. From its vast polar wastes to the mighty wildebeest populated savannahs a man might trek half a lifetime and never return to the same point. And, in the mighty cordillera where 200kph winds howl around the mountains and in summer the snow falls 2m thick or more, still a man cannot view the sea.

Yes. This. Or to sum it up in one word, big.

[Essex Boy]

And theres was me thinking that Yorkshire was bigger than Essex.

Tish.

[Essex Boy]

Oh, we have that here in Ayton, Doombar ale, it's very quaffable. The last time a Harridan came by to pronounce our doom she ended up with a £60 bar tab to pay.

And it was your round, no doubt?

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

I'll have you know Squire Peeler employs people to buy a round for him.

[Jeremy]

When you say ‘employ’, you really mean ‘intimidate until they do’?

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Yes. I was just worried he might have employed other people to read the messages on here and report their contents to him.

That’s the only way EB manages to use the internet

I thought the Forge was the original Doom Bar.

Since there's 7 of us to eat on Saturday, I plan to book a table at the Turkish restaurant for about 7pm. We can then go to a local hostelry for some beer - lager only, I think, in the restaurant, albeit quite nice Efes, but good grub. If that really doesn't suit, shout asap. Caroline has volunteered to drive those of us not staying in town on Saturday night

Friday we'll play by ear - probably a curry followed by beer, although depending on what Caroline's doing I may drive so it could be a quiet night (for me at least).

10am start on Saturday - I'll sort lunch, biccies, cake, tea etc.
