Who is going to be there and what sort of time? I'm going to be at the County Ground all afternoon so I'll wander down at some point no doubt, won't be drinking (much) so don't all queue up to buy me a drink, save it for Forest!

i'll be there, not sure when mind cause i might have some work left over from today todo!  :--

As always, i shall be there.  I'll work an 8ish - 4ish to allow for maximum beer time.

Are you going to introduce yourself this time Dave?

Maybe, i'm a winners lounge man normally.

Yeah, right on ralphy! I'm steering clear of The Merlin from now on.I can't drink anyway due to the painkillers I'm on after my hang gliding accident :cry:

Merlin is allways packed when i go there, don't like pubs where u can't move and stuck in clouds of smoke.

bloody handgliders, i warned you about them before  :x

are you going to the game on tuesday?

I don't know yet.I'll probably just go to the game and then go straight home.I don't think I could cope with the pub if I can't drink :(

Yeah, i'll keep an eye out...

I would be told to fook off if i went in there i reckon  :soapy tit wank:

I may make my debut, haven't decided yet. If not tomorrow, 100% Saturday :D

I'm definitely going.
It's my wifes birthday on Wednesday so you can all by me a drink as she's driving :wink:  :mrgreen:

should be there about 6pm. Got to collect tickets from box office first

No way, we met Gary Stanley on Saturday and he survived. Someone might even buy you a drink.

Not me though, I'm a tightwad.

na you wouldn't, your alright mate!!  8)

Get there early enough Ralphy cos me and the Mrs will be in there.

the old git :wink:  coming too??
he'll buy the beers

Ralpy get down there or else!

and your buying the beers :beers:

I could well be there at some point.

No the old git isn't going on tuesday, i am though.

What time is early?

6pm ish or before.
meet me and Mrs Magic at the club shop and we'll walk up together??

i would get there sooner if i could but not rushing from Brum in rush hour.

I'm not working on tuesday afternoon so will get there for 5:30pm

Yeovil, are u still not smoking?

If you are smoking you can have my Thai fags cos i'm trying to quit.

Ace.
the wife doesn't finish till 5pm.
Brum to Swindon to Merlin in an hour will be just right.

Autoroute says 1hr 43mins.
Pah.......1hr 15 tops 8)

Take it steady bud, don't want you not making the game at all.

You should see the shocking video's i've been watching of car crashes.

Made me change alot how i drive.

but i always do it in 1hr 10 from mine.
so i added 5 mins for the walk to the pub.

if i had your motor i would do it in well under the hour

Not really, speed camera's everywhere on motorways.

I never go above 80-85 mph on motorways.

Im smoking like a chimney. :doobie:

i don't see a speed camera until i'm a few miles outside Swindon.

I'll bring you some scary thai fags!

8)

You don't see unmarked patrol cars either  :wink:

Me and my lad are coming up from Kent-be in there about half six if m25's not too bad.I'll be wearing my 69 replica white shirt

A friend gave me some Thai fags and they were bloody horrible. After about 5 they gave me a sore throat.

I suppose I could pop in.....but I dont have any mates....so if I dont find anyone then I'll have to stand on my own....

If someone wants to give me a call, so I can defo find you lot I'll show up

They you can all punch me (not face or groin) for being super pessimistic....(cough realistic cough)

I'll head down for about 6ish, or whenever I'm hungry and thirsty.

DV - I'll pm you my mobile number so you can find us if you like?

If already got a number off Yeovil....but I'm happy to take a 2nd one....

Yeovil's a useless drunkard so I'll send you mine as well.

 :D Its true

Their Marlboro Lights but with scary health warnings  :twisted:

I will never resist the temptation to smoke  :doobie:

:grin:

How much is a pint of Fosters or Carling in there?

2.20 ish

Oi your driving :|

I'm off into Swindon now, I'll pop down the Merlin about 6ish - I'll be wearing grey jeans and a red Belle & Sebastian t-shirt, I've got a skinhead and I'm fat and ugly, you should be able to spot me easily enough - come say hello  8)

Get me a Guinness Cold in, and i'll be over in no time.

i will indeed.
mines a Carling and Orange juice for the Mrs :wink:

I know what you look like Sonic, saw u with Whits at Aylesbury.

Magic, i am driving but one is ok.

good lad

Sounds disgusting.

:mrgreen:

saying that someone once asked if i wanted them in the same glass :nuts:

some people

Magic drinks halfs in a pint glass by the way  :fag:

halfs of shandy. get it right :wink:

They better do lime at the Merlin, you know me  :agree:

to put in your mineral water :fag:

1.1

Lager and lime, a gentleman's drink  :agree:

the only thing i put in my larger is more larger.
it should never be mixed with lime or lemonade :chunder:

Dash of lime is lovelly.

A half pint glass half full with a 50/50 lager/coke.

Then, get a shot glass and fill it with cherry brandy and cherry liquor.  Drop shot glass in half pint glass, then down rapidly.  Tastes exactly like Dr Pepper and can be quite lethal after a few...

I'll be in the winners tonight as it maximises my drinking time :beers:

May make my Merlin debut on Satuday though, get in there for the 12.30 premiership game (ManUSA v ?????)

Where do you mother fuckers sit / stand in the Merlin?

Through the front door and to the left is where the me and the ex-Calne-ites usually sit.

so i shall enter then turn to the right and sit over there :wink:

to be honest i've never been in there before so haven't a clue with layout etc.

quite looking forward to it though.

Ha ha, you bastard!!!  :wink:

Would that be the Tiger milk shirt?

STOP IT!  :x

I'm toying with the idea of going now.  I'm absolutely knackered after having got back yesterday from a week for 2 hrs sleep a night, but am well up for seeing how the new team does (and screaming abuse if it's not well!).  Where is The Merlin?  I'll try to be there for 7-odd, but I'm seeing "the missus" at about 3, so won't have much time to tank down to Swidon and get the pre-match pint in!

The Merlin's on Drove Road, turn left at Magicroundabout, up to the traffic lights and you can't miss it, (on the right)

Booooo! :evil:

Welcome back mate.

I'm going tonight and Mex (as you may have read) is going to be there. I would offer to give you a lift but i'm not coming back to Surrey after the game.

I've been in before, nice pub but gets packed.

you all seem big and scary, so i might give the merlin a miss tonite :P

I'm 5 foot 8 mate, hardly big and scary!

It's only Whits and Sonic that are big lads.

Magic looks like Paul Scholes  :soapy tit wank:

Im off into Town and then on to the CGH 'where everybody knows your name' duh duh duh duh duh duh.

i'm not that ugly or that ginger but your on the right lines.

Brummie accent too, skinhead and tatoos  :D

Little game for you all tonight.

Apart from Ralphy (who obviously knows me) the first person who spots me tonight in the Merlin (given your unsure of what i look like) and comes over and says hello before i get to the bar i will buy a pint for.


Look forward to seeing you all later

you make me sound a right thug.......................i like it :twisted:

First person that spots Magic and laughs and points, I will buy a pint  :soapy tit wank:

right you me outside NOW :mrgreen:

 :fag:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

i'm off now.
see you all in 2 hours

Where do you live then Magic?.

BRUM

'Alright Skip!?'  :mrgreen:

was a pleasure to meet Ralphy, Magic, Sonic, Whits etc.

Shame the match was shit!

Dave Blackcurrant, i thought you where 30 odd  :shock:

obviously not!  :D

haha! thanks... i think!

A tender 21, i am...  8)

Hi lads!! Nice to meet you all!  :beers:

you're all a bunch of lightweights, me and DV85 were still there at 10:45  :x

I wish I could be that hardcore...   :oops:

Unfortunately sleep deprivation and binge drinking methalated spirits has caught up with me  :|

I got a lift home, couldn't be bothered to walk...  8)
