    Weekly drinks should be resuming as of next week

    (venue tbc)
    Is there usually a sticky with the venue ? I'm in Londinium for 3 more weeks so may make an effort.

    It is also my last 3 weeks as a contractor, going Perm after a 14 year run. So obviously I won't be visiting the website after that, unlike some other permies on here

    For boozing purposes, The Blue Posts, Newman St is good, super cheap half decent ale on.

      for the both of us.

      First contract in Central London (Farringdon) for me, so can make an effort to meet up for drinks on the way home.
      If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

          Sounds like a good excuse for a wake if you ask me.

            I'll be back ! It just suits me for now, I've been working away from home for 7 months and I'm pooped, and the Mrs is equally knackered looking after the kids on her own during the week. It gets me back home without putting myself voluntarily back on the bench. The difference between perm and contract money is not what it used to be and the contractor mindset won't be going anywhere. The reasoning sounds good in print anyway

            Norrahe - pint of Sam Smiths bitter is £1.99, lager and other stuff isn't much more.

                It's cask from Oop North, not 'John Smiths' keg rubbish. Not the world's greatest pint but half decent for £1.99, better than Wetherspoons.
