Huh? That's where we came in! Hence the confusion of the past few days....
The Montagu Pyke is an unspeakably horrible beer barn,
As suggested by a certain David Gerard? No relation?
and we actually
drank it out of the one real ale on tap.
Sorry. My fault.
I was wondering if it was
possible to accidentally unplug the jukebox, then the football
(Arsenal v. Liverpool, 6-3, holy crap! [*])
6 + 3 = 9 goals!
started at a quite
remarkable volume. Having enough people upstairs to block the fire
exits, and the venue sucking like a hivemind of Dysons, we chose to
follow Morwen's infallible ale detector to the Shakespeare's Head near
Holborn tube station, another Wetherspoons but this time of the
tolerable variety.
A fine place. I know it well.
(Fortunately, despite it *technically* having been the case that I was
the one to declare that this would be a suitable venue, I used methods
learnt from [[WP:ANI]] to put all blame onto James Forrester, who was
conveniently not present. So that's all right then.)
James is now sharing a flat in Beckton with Lord Lucan and Reginald I. Perrin.
James's suggestion for a pub needed a little subbing, methinks....
I got about a zillion shots on User:Arkady Rose's [[Canon Digital
IXUS]] 400, and she'll probably be putting these up some time today or
tomorrow. Loopzilla and Thryduulf got a pile too.
LoopZilla apologize's now for the quality. But they are there (on
FLICKR), suitable tagged.

We got LOTS of people along and this was really good
and productive,
despite the horrible first venue. Did anyone write up an attendance
list?
