'Christmas(ish) Get-together - or just an autumn p*ss - Tai Pan, 665 Commercial Road

[Wapping]

I know that Greg and chums have their Whitewebb's bash (and very good it is, too) in norf Lunnon.

But how about another, central Lunnon, do as well? You may recall we did something similar last year, ending up with a curry in Spitalfields. So popular was it that Den (and her with things on her head) travelled all the way from Jockland to be there.

There is a new venue that may suit:

The Wheatsheaf in Borough market (close to the Market Porter) and its new sister, Katzen Jammer, which is next door. The Wheatsheaf does some great ales and is larger than the Market Porter.

Katzen Jammer, is a German themed boozer, with Kraut food at a decent price. It (and the Wheatsheaf) is owned and managed by the same bods who own The Swan (a fine pub) in Leadenhall Market and The Bell in Cannon Street etc. so it should be good.

I have got the manager's (Danny Campbell) phone number and have been told by Simon (the manager of the Swan) that he can sort us out a reserved area or maybe a room.

What say the masses?

If it's a goer I will trot over the Thames to find out what is what.

[Wapping]

A date is born....

Subject to news from the pub, how about:

Thursday 3rd December

Shep: There are several cheap hotels near the pub / just across the river in the City. They will get booked up by screaming drunk secretaries for post office party coitus.... You never know your luck, so get in early.....

If there are a couple of people .. I think this place might be better value. Even when compared to Premier Inn, Travelodge.

A two bedroom apartment is £130 for the night, so £65 per person. Not bad for Tower Bridge location on a weeknight.

Count me in

Subject to work hassle, I'd be up for this

Located in [URL="http://www.ujclub.co.uk/en-gb/events.htm?event=22"]Waterloo[/URL], just a brisk walk from the pub. We can tell them Tom was a gurkha............

If you want a really cheap place to stay over night then bring your car, sleeping bags and sleep in an NCP car park. That's what a couple of women did at work 'cos they had to be back into work by 07:00 and thought it a waste of money to pay for a room that they were only going to be in for about 4 hours. Mind you they didn't get much sleep!!

You can also wash your pits and balls in the Thames.... Bring your own soap (or use gravel) - old newspaper makes a great towel, or roll on the grass....
