And to drink beer. I propose a drinking game - every time Linux is mentioned, you say 'Kippis' and take a drink. Every time Microsoft is mentioned you have to call "Boo! Hissss!" Any additions to the game welcome. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/10/1006 From nahuelmarisi at gmail.com Thu Jun 4 07:51:46 2009 From: nahuelmarisi at gmail.com (Nahuel Marisi) Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 07:51:46 +0100 Subject: [Gllug-Social] [ANNOUNCE] June Social, Gunmakers EC1R, Clerkenwell.

Until this email, that is. We haven't been west in ages, so let us go to the mad bishop and bear, a fullers pub in paddington station. While it may be in a station, the pub is actually nice, so don't be fooled. There is tasty real ale, a reasonable food menu and a selection of other drinks. We have the upstairs section from 5:30. There are 4 lines running through the station as well as a good chunk of all westbound national rail out of london. Hammersmith and City, Circle, District and Bakerloo lines may take you directly to the station but it's also only a short walk from Lancaster Gate Station if you want to come on the central line.
