Stuttgarter Herbstfest

Ok, I know some of you still have a sore head from the Weindorf, but there's plenty of time to recover.

The Herbstfest is running from Sept 24th - Oct 9th.

www.cannstatter-volksfest.de

Monday 3rd is a bank holiday, and the Saturday before is strategically well placed in the middle of the fest. I therefore suggest:

SATURDAY 1st OCTOBER.

Get them Lederhosen on...

(Sign up here and I'll start a list and be all organised like)

I'll have to see If I have got Jannik or not. I don't think that the Cannstatter Wasen is a good place for 4 year olds.

If I am on my own, I will be there, and won't be going after 2,5 hrs ...

So count me half in !!!

Oh buggeration, I´m in England that weekend, so no can do I´m afraid. Poss can do the weekend after, but won´t know until end of Sept when I get my plan for October.

I'll be in the UK too, until the 12th Oct

That w/e, I'm in Portugal - picked a fine weekend there didn't you Buzz?

I'm in Blighty that weekend as well! The following weekend might be okay for me.

work permiting ime up for it.
but will go with the majoroty as in what weekend

Well seeing as though the Beer Fest suggestion has fallen flat on its face...

...Bunny and I are going down to O´Reilly´s next Tuesday, to have a bash at their Pub Quiz and sink a few pints ...anyone else up for it??? We´ll need all the help we can get!!!...don´t let us down!!!

There's a good chance I'll be there ( and Reg ) so we can lend you a hand imbetween watching the footy, quiz is rock hard though

better get me trivial pursuit questions out and start practising then!!

Me too !!!

Come along folks, Clairey and I are going to need all the support we can get!

Is there a prize for coming last do you think?

yes, I think it's a taxi back to US base

As Clairey says, it does, indeed, look like the Herbstfest ain't gonna work. Unless we have a sudden last minute rush, I hereby declare the Herbstfest null and void

As for next Tues: got a long day ahead of me on Weds, but a wee pint or two on Tuesday at O'Reilly's never harmed anyone now did it...

What time you kicking off? Count me in!

Oh no, I can't either on tuesday. B*gg*r...

Not too sure when it starts - can´t find a time on their website. I´m sure if we´re down there by 7.30 - 8pm we´ll be all right

Quiz night gets going around 8 p.m. So far it looks like the Britboard team will comprise reggie, JDee, Clairey, Bunny and Buzz. Anyone else...?

Count me in for next week, if there is a quiz on there ...

Can I turn up?

Sampled the O-Reillys atmosphere yesterday to Watch the UTD V Scum match.

Its much more relaxed than Biddy Earlys, my kind of place.

Of course, the more the merrier (especially if you're clever and can help us answer some questions!!) :$

Unfortunately not...

I'll do my best though!

I was there for that game too -- sitting at the bar as you go through to the back part.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Good luck in the quiz tonight folks

Wish I lived nearer annd could justify a mid-week jaunt up North

3rd place for the Britboard team is respectable I think.

I am suffering today mind, going out and getting hammerred when its an 8:30 start the next day is clearly not a good idea anymore, I'm getting too old I fear.

Saying that, who's up for the same next week??

moi!

moi !

So long as I've got rid of this hangover by then, sure.

Good fun last night though! And for those who weren't there, how many would you have got right? (And I still don't understand the sequence in question 9...)

still last weeks questions reggie!

My head hurts!

not many...

What number comes next: 1, 8, 27, 64, 216, ___?

I am sure they just missed one out...

8 = 2 * 2 * 2
27 = 3 * 3 * 3
64 = 4 * 4 * 4
125 = 5 * 5 * 5
216 = 6 * 6 * 6
343 = 7 * 7 * 7

thankgod for flexi-time! Anyway now I'm here must be time for lunch..

and we woz robbed on that maths question!!

That maths question is plain effing wrong!

So you obviously all tipped a few back last night. Glad I made a run for it when I did - had to be FAR TOO responsible today.

Anyway - count me in next week. Meanwhile, I'm going to restart the Herbstfest topic as 3 people is enough for me (plus I know a few other monkeys who may be keen to come).

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

depends on how many teams there were...

Anyone going down to the pub quiz 2moro night?

Also for those peeps who can´t make the Beerfest this coming weekend (1st October) for one reason or another - I can make it down there the following weekend (8th October) - anyone else up for it that weekend (drinking copious amounts of beer that is...!!!)

Hi Claire.

Yup, quiz night sounds good. As does beer swilling on 8th Oct.

Good oh, see ya 2moro then

I'll be there, this time without a major commitment the next morning

Woe betide!

are you quality testing beer on the 1st or the 8th?

isn't it the England v. Austria game on the 8th?

that's an "ARR" from me, and the football IS on this week! So I will apologise in advance if I'm watching that too.. 8th is also possibility..

I'll be at the quiz again - probably be about as much use as a chocolate teapot though! Still, it's the taking part that counts innit???

Will the Utd v Benfica match be on in O-reillys tomorrow night??

If so I will be there, although this time with car and not drinking myself into a stupor!!!

According to OR's website, they'll be showing the Manchestershire Buckaneers game and also the Arsenal match.

I'll be there then...

who's going out for a beer on the 1st and who is going out on the 8th?

Those of you going out on the 8th - I assume you will be going to watch the footie first?

Good luck with the quiz tonight guys

Didn't even get a ranking this time round :doh: !!
Oh well, nevermind, eh! It was lots and lots of fun anyway and thankfully my head doesn't hurt as much today as it did this time last week!
