Hi there

just thought I would stop by and say Hello - I enjoyed meeting you on Saturday and hope you had fun too.

Did you manage to get a train OK?

PS the shirt was not that bad!!!

the shirt wasnt that bad eh? hah!

i seem to be getting this reputation here as a sartorially challenged booze fiend. well, its not true, ok?

i did get home eventually just in time for the headache to start...

apart from that it was really good. even better, though, are the big ones, cos there are loads of people around and you may even get to meet people youd met before...sadly the next few big ones are happening when im at school...they dont let me out at weekends there...

Hi there

Its my birthday on Monday and I am having a party! I would love it if you were able to stop by. It is on Pierce's Pirate Ship (A579684) and the Lighthouse Bar is at Cabin 13. Anyway here is your invite

An Invitation - Come to a Birthday Party

Join us in the Lighthouse Bar (and probably the Main Mess Room) on Monday 20 August for a food, drink, music, dancing, general merriment and debauchery

The Captain has said we can beam guests on board for the occasion so please feel free to bring guests (although we will not be able to guarantee their safety )

Hope you can beam in and join me, no need to RSVP just turn up and join the celebrations

ooops...didnt notice this forum...i keep doing that...

i am quite glad to be back cos i am a prefect now. i have power over lesser mortals. and i get to wear a really natty scarf. and go into town in the evenings. yes.

Hi

Who would not be pleased to go back to Winchester! (OK so I would not since it would mean moving back home )

So which pubs do you go to? The Royal Oak, The Eclipse, The Wycombe Arms, Black Boy and what were the other two by the Cathedral?

I have had some great news this week - I have a new job

congrats on your new job! what is it?

you come from winchester eh? its a nice place, but a little staid after a while...

The royal oak i hate...theyve got really anal at the bar and ask for id and its all a bit corporate. the wykeham is forbidden to me cos all the dons go there of an evening. The eclipse i got turfed out of...that was the last time i brought friends without facial hair to a pub, rich or not. the black boy is a lovely one, my favourite, but its a bit iffy in term time, cos the more sprightly teachers go there.

others by the cathedral...the bakers arms i go to often, and the old market i go to infrequently.

thus im left with going to the white swan which is bl**dy miles away. but i aint going out this evening cos i got no money

if you see ive begun an article on winchesters pubs, which is held back only by my huge laziness...

do you think im a little too interested in winchesters drinking facilities?

Is it possible to be too interested in pubs?

My new job is as a HR Manager again but for a big blus chip company in Birmingham and I am really excited about it

I grew up in a village about 10 miles from Winchester and went to 6th form there so got to know the pubs

The Oak was cr** when i was there too - known as the joke. The Wycombe arms was more a place we went to once we had all moved away. The Eclipse was good, and the old market was a fave as was the black boy. White Swan was not good in my day but got better and became my little sisters fave. I will check out your article when I get a chance

I am broke atm too - it sucks - this month is going to be expensive too as there is lots I have to get sorted for the new job So tonight I will go to a friends for supper - how exciting is that - not!

Fancy a virtual ?

yes seeing as all my callous friends are out having real ones...its not them refusing me, its my own natural self-restraint.

i dont see the old market being a fave here, but i quite like the barman...

mostlt, being rich wykehamists, people go to greens or the gaolhouse or the roak. they have too much money.
which village do you come from? and you must have gone to symmonds, right?

* sips a virtual G&T *

The Old market used to be quite a happening place - hard to believe I know! As for Greens or the Goalhouse - eaak I dont know them! I worked int he County Arms near the firestation and hospital one holidays when I was a student - very much a locals pub.

I grew up in Beauworth - its near Cheriton. All there is in Beauworth is a reasonably good pub - called the Milburys. I worked there while I was in sixth form and then most holidays while I was a student.

Yes - guilty as charged - I went to Symmonds and I really enjoyed it.

And here is one for you - My cousins husband used to teach at your place!

what was this guy's name? i can tell you how notorius he was...

greens and gaolhouse are relativel new, bar/chain pub styles...*shudder*

i dont know the county arms...its a little too off the beaten track...i never had the uge even to go as far as the ship or the filo

the milburys...i know it. i went there for me mums birthday once. nice place. they were having a harley davidson get together there. the skittle alley is good i think.

my brothers best friends family appears to own most of cheriton...thats my only real connection with it
