      Bring the BF, a couple of the girls last year did.

      I didn't bother voting, because my slight preference for west london venues (less crowded and more comfy sitting outside I suspect) seem slightly ahead anyway.

      P.S. Can't vouch for the others, but if you come I promise not to be too weirdly over-familiar and leer at you with creepy eyes. (well not too much)

        I doubt he would want to come, he already thinks certain people are complete tossers. Not mentioning any names of course.

        He does laugh enthusiastically at some of the pm's I get though.

          Enthusiastically, or nervously?

          Does he hide the kitchen knives at the same time as laughing - a brittle laugh, as he glances anxiously around the kitchen to see if he's missed anything?

            Ooh, you have been hurt emotionally, haven't you?

              Anyone else smelling something a bit fishy with the sudden swing for Dicks? Letting off the master and spartacus as amusing alts we're still left with several questionable persona:

              integrity 65
              malingering ba 24
              rhubarb 90
              tex 141
              xerses 108

              I'll probably go anyway, but a sweaty, choc-a-bloc pub in central London, nowhere near the water just doesn't quite add up somehow with the summer drinks thing... (I literally work round the corner from it, so can anyone explain to me the attraction of this particular pub?).

                What a very handy excuse Lucy, just admit you never intended going as there is something seriously not right with you.

                Has anyone from the board ever met you?

                And before you ask... yes 2 people from the board have met me.

                  Well, I'm pretty certain rhubarb and integrity are real - excluding the suspected aliases would tie Dirty Dick's with the Market Porter at 8 votes each. Even if you rule out all those who didn't vote for the date, the Market Porter is ahead of the Dove at 6 to 5 votes respectively.
                  I did ask the mods to flag aliases, but nothing as yet. Expect it's a bit of a mission for them to do that and they probably have better things to do.
                  Valid point about a sweaty Central pub for summer drinks, but it's probably out of convenience.

                    Sorry, not trying to swing it in favour of my particular preference, I'm just naturally suspicious and the idea of someone using there alts to get there way, or even worse using there alts to vote for something they're not even gonna come too makes me suss!

                    I'll go wherever. I'm just not getting the dicks thing suddenly as a summer pub - I reckon that'll be the worst of the lot but hey if that's the preference then I'll go with it.

                      Agreed.

                      Can we discount all the sas/bagpus aliases?
