Surrey meet next week!

[Diddums]

Bit impromptu but screw it, I've already roped in @Hades and @bloodiedathame so extending this to anyone else interested. Probably just a lunch and then a beer or 15 on Saturday afternoon / evening. Not sure on venue yet, but the White Hart looks decent and is highly spoken of by Bloodied.

Anyone else interested? I'll let this run until Weds and then book a venue based on feedback and amount attending.

[Diddums]

You see, it's **** like this that makes me miss my driving licence even more.

Catch a train no? I can pick you up here if you want, we can figure it out!

 

[Diddums]

BUMP! Come on GDers, let's get more of you there!

 

[Diddums]

Refectory is also a good shout and more pub-y. Bigger carpark if there's going to be lots of people.

Funny enough that's where I hatched this idea, over a burger yesterday. Lovely pub.

 

[Diddums]

So, today's the day then!

I'll book a venue this evening, so far it's only myself, @bloodiedathame, @Hades and possibly Randal. Looks like it's gonna be cheap rounds of Jagerbombs then

Nice, nothing in the diary. I may drive, but we'll see how the week goes!

You coming or what?

Little jaunt out (from Guildford).. sounds interesting but will need to check with Mrs hasn't planned anything.

And? Will your missus let you out to play?



(I'm bringing my wife too so you'd best behave yourselves, and bring your lady friends too if you want. Nothing sounds more appealing to a woman than "would you like to come with me to meet a load of blokes I met on the internet?")

 

[Diddums]

I was there last night, for research purposes ofc.

The refectory?

 

[Diddums]

Is it this weekend @Diddums ? If so, away in Austria on this occasion but otherwise it’s not too far for me.

Yes sir. Maybe next time

 

[Diddums]

So, confirmed then:

Diddums +1
@Hades
@bloodiedathame
@Deep
@NickK +1

Please for those of you bringing +1s or more, please let me know so I can adjust the booking accordingly. I'm thinking 2ish onwards, you lot cool with that?

The venue will be the White Hart (bloodied's recommendation, if it sucks we can all blame him), I'll catch a cab down with the lady friend so I can have a drink or two and not worry about driving. If any of you lot wanna come to mine and share a cab let me know.

Otherwise we'll see you then!

 

[Diddums]

Sorry I'm going to miss it boys. If it were on Sunday, I'd be there!

My band will playing here tonight (just about in Surrey), for anyone interested:

The Cave @ The Holly Tree, Addlestone, Surrey

Music Venue: The Cave @ The Holly Tree, 25 High Street, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 1TT, Tel: 01932 844700, Current Gigs: 19, this page: upcoming gigs

This is the ropey South African pub. I'll be the bassist sitting down because of a slipped disc.

Do you play there often? I'd love to go but I don't trust myself to not hit the jagerbombs and end up licking my wounds for the meet tomorrow!

Will definitely have to come see you though, let me know when you play next!

 

[Diddums]

So how are we gonna identify each other tomorrow?

I might print off an A4 with my PC specs on it and an Overclockers logo and tape it to my chest.

 

[Diddums]

Look at this weather, might even have a brief stint in the beer garden tomorrow if it's like this

 

[Diddums]

Big round table on the left as you walk in

 

[Diddums]

Just got home, fabulous afternoon, really enjoyed it, thanks to @Hades , @NickK (and his lovely lady), @bloodiedathame for coming. Definitely a repeater!


I'll start planning a large OCUK meet for the masses later in the year

 

[Diddums]

Is Diddums' shirt intentionally matching the FEELING PORKY? sign because goddam that is some attention to detail.

You all look amazing, looks like a fun time had by all

No, they saw me walk in and hung it up because I'm such a porker. Marketing innit.

 

[Diddums]

Great to meet you all properly, hopefully, you all liked the place, it's my favourite eatery around these parts.

Weirdly I don't have a sore head this morning, I was sure that I was going to have some sort of hangover. Maybe it'll come later...

Lovely venue, the staff were absolutely top notch.

No hangover here either, despite my best efforts. Really tired though for some reason

 

[Diddums]

Sounds ace, I'll be there.

I've already pinged @NickK , @Hades and @bloodiedathame. Maybe we can get a few more to come too

 

[Diddums]

@Oh Ed not again. Time to prove to us that you do actually exist


@Josh You too

 

[Diddums]

@Deep

@XeNoN89


Screw it, gonna tag everyone. I should become a promoter

 

[Diddums]

New phone who dis?

Get your **** together


Drink up next week, Godalming. See you there.

 

[Diddums]

Please do, man. God knows we need one

I'll throw my knickers at you on stage, that should generate some chatter <3
