    Most years some taxi driver ends up at the wrong Sheldon. Always good for a laugh.

    Re the economics, when we had six or eight people in a taxi, it cost peanuts. Nowadays, as we become splintered into small groups, city centre is the way forward. Especially when it's near Brewdog*, eh Justin?


    * For those not privy to the tale, at my behest to find this oasis of real ale and rocket fuel, Justin and I followed Google maps all over Birmingham in a quest for the Holy Grail. It was supposed to be a few hundred yards. We walked miles.

    I am going this year after a 5-6 year break. Probably on the monday though.

    Not sure which hotel I will be at, but it will be chosen on ranking and distance from the city centre on TA.
    Premier Inn has an excellent ranking and is not extortionate, so something like that.

    Would be great to meet up with a few of you if possible. We all remember the last time that happened!
    A decent bar with decent music & some nice looking girls would be nice if thats possible?

    Cringe.

    What's the name of the song where everybody's dancing in the bar? Something about 400 miles? It's awful!

    I love the fact that everyone still got the first chorus wrong also. Happens at every event I play it.
    The DJ was really trying to impress I think? "drums".

    I want a decent busy bar on a Monday with some nice dance music or urban tunes?
    Girls (or people in general) take priority.

    And were I staying over on Monday night, I'd want a nice bar with NO music. Ooh look, there's a Wetherspoons on Broad Street. Real ale, sensible prices, no music, my kinda pub. Beer takes priority.

    P.S. You aren't allowed to look at pretty girls any more, you're married.

    Music is the very LAST thing I want to hear when I'm out out. Especially the stuff that they play for general public consumption BLECH!

    I'm sure there are plenty of pubs where you can look at ugly women.

    Not only will you have the chance to buy me a small sherry on the night out in Brum, but I shall be accompanied by a colleague who has not yet been a member of our yearly pilgrimage.

    I'd love to go Steve, but I think I'd fall foul of the dress code. I had my best helmet stolen recently.
