And no I rarely visit the Billy Bluelight, spreading my custom parsimoniously between the Kings Arms (opposite) and the Black Cat.
Where be the Black Cat?
*WOT!* *WOT?* You don't know the Black Cat?
A? Did I say *BLACK* cat?
<shame>
Sorry, don't know what got into me - I mean, of course, the *FAT* cat.
Consider it as a senior moment...
Ahh, now I might be in the Fat Cat on various occassions, generally when I can be arsed to walk all that way and Mr Noodles isn't Ill (it has to have the capitol I to keep him happy ;). The Fat Cat is a rocking pub, and of course, I expect us to make an effort to get there in the summer for good beer ;)
Failing rain, hangovers, Illness, death, or just pure lazyness, I usually make it to the Fat Cat of a Thursday night (except the second thursday of the month, of course, that's spent crying about the lack of beer in the City Gate... Which reminds me...)...
On an entirely unrelated note... Those who do come to the second Thursday meetings, or are planning on coming to find us rabble in the City Gate... What does everyone think of moving across the road to the (slightly) more expensive (as in it's back to normal, not cheap chain) prices, but much better selection (and in my opinion atmosphere), of the rather wonderful pub that is the Reindeer? I know this has come up before, but that was a while ago and we're a fickle bunch (plus, at that time I wasn't bothered as the City Gate had a decent ale selection on). Regular pints in the Reindeer include such things as Black Dog, and Elgoods Cambridge, and Greyhound (it is an Elgoods pub after all ;), but they also have 5 guest beers, and the usual bout of Lagers and soft drinks.
Right, erm, that was a longer reply that I was aiming for ;)
Cheers,
