I'd love to come and put faces to avatars in Birmingham, but realistically it's not going to be likely from where I am, clinging to the edge of the country in East Kent. Was hoping for something more Londonish.
But if something gets arranged I'll do what I can.

That's a quotemine and a clear breach of the FUA.
Just you wait till I tell SD.

I don't think I have heard anything positive about Birmingham, is it really not great?

Birmingham was one of the greatest industrial cities in the world and a powerhouse of science and invention!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham ... _invention
edit - nearly forgot; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Soci ... Birmingham
and what's more; we invented the Balti!

Unfortunately, these days we have no industry
but we still have great curry! Scarlett and Ironclad wrote:Campermon,...a middle aged, middle class, Guardian reading, dad of four, knackered hippy, woolly jumper wearing wino and science teacher.

Ok Mr C, let me clarify. I don't want to move there and build a new career, I just want a piss-up

Summer time? Nice little canal trip (with bar)? http://www.away2canal.co.uk/
We could perhaps get @jerome to come along and tell us some ghost stories over the PA!!

A late friend always said, 'Birmingham is a great place to come from'. I've no doubt he was right.

True, they also invented the Brummagem Screwdriver
For me, the value of a climb is the sum of three inseparable elements, all equally important: aesthetics, history, and ethics

I half fell off such a canal excursion many years ago (it was mates 21st b'day party)!!!
I had had a few ales.......
My leg really hurt the next day because I bashed it into the quayside! Luckily, someone grabbed me to stop me going all the way in otherwise i might still have been at the bottom of the canal today!

Right, everybody round to Campermon's then.
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Some students took me to Bearwood for my first ever Balti. Perspex table tops, with the menus visible underneath, no drink, but no corkage either, and naan breads as big as a fucking big naan bread. Superb.

Bearwood was always a favourite when I worked in a pub down the road when I was a student - we'd book a table for midnight after we'd emptied the pub and take in a few carrier bags of beer!
Haven't been out for a curry for ages....I really want one now!!!
