The Bell is entirely suitable.

The Bell is an okay suburban pub. But it gets ten out of ten because the landlady, Yvonne, likes us ("We need another wedding! One of you needs to get married!") and the bar staff are sweeties. There is usually a band on Fridays, but we struck it lucky and two of the musicians were ill. So it was karaoke. Thankfully not deafening.

And we drank them dry of London Pride.

Present were myself, redcountess, arkady, valkyriekaren, vatine, ruthi, fluffymark, Cookie and Erithromycin. (Who took time off from his job as a Glasgow bouncer to pop down to London for a Corporate Ethics course ... for the same company. His business card is going to be a doozy.) We recovered nicely from our respective weeks at work. Congratulated ruthi and Cookie on their engagement. (Yvonne nearly corraled them into having the reception at the Bell.) Talked rubbish. Pubbed in proper style.

Three pub nights in a week. An embarrasment of social riches. I must be less careful what I wish for.

Always pub with BOFHs. When they recover from their week at work, everyone recovers from their week at work!

Update: Pics.

BOFHs? I'm trying to guess... Boyfriends Of Former Husbands? Big Oleaginous Friendly Hunters? Brisbane Olive-Farmer Humpers? But Only For Health?

Brotherhood of Friendly Helpers.

BOFHs are Good!

Ah, excellent!

Can programmers like me be Little Sisters?

Come here, little girrul. I'm sure we'll work something out.

Aw, do you have candy in your pocket for me?
Or a job, perhaps?

I will talk to sweinhodge about holding a meet at the Walnut Tree (Wetherspoons, pretty big, pretty cheap) in Leytonstone sometime soon. I think making it a night other than a Friday might be a thought though, as lots of people have plans already for Friday nights (I myself am usually in Holborn with the Drunk Bisexuals).
