TT Tuesday drinks - discussion archive

Yeah I'll be along for my first TT Tuesday.
I'll need to know how best to recognise you lot, as I doubt whether you'll be the only crowd speaking English...

excellent plan, Pootle. can't be there at 6, but hopefully later.

How does one recognize the TT table?

unless someone has a better idea (please, anyone), perhaps we'll have to rely on the blue guitar again?

I'll be there in time for the draw.

The Blue guitar is Rog's isn't it? And he'll be away with the Swedish fairies...

oh, good point. maybe he'll leave us the guitar to remember him by?

If you want it I can drop it to someone this afternoon.

And they're called "little folk" or "wee free men". "Fairies" is an inaccurate racial generalisation.

@ Profundo, "What's the place like"? ---- the Chinesischer Turm is the summer equivalent of the Hofbräuhaus, the most famous beer garden in Munich (although the "local" ones like Augustiner are probably better). The benefit: easy to get to (in Schwabing), often has live oompah music (could be seen as minus point really!) and cool atmosphere under the trees.

To get there take the U3/U6 to Giselastrasse or Universität, take a right heading East down the back streets and then into the English garden. It is easy to find and if you get lost, everyone can help you!

Here's the map: http://www.hot-maps.de/

@ Keydeck, where do you live to drop off the guitar? Although I want to go to the gym first so I guess someone (i.e. Pootle) should take it...

ok, guess by the positive responses its the chinese tower then

See you all there tomorrow!

P

If I can get a decent amount of work done tomorrow, then I'll be there too.

@Keydeck
You do know that I am reading this thread, don't you?
btw., they are also known as "Person or persons, believed to be armed"

Memo
"Pick a nose, any nose"

Memo, I know

Jooly, I'm in Laim near Westend u-bahn station. So if someone is closeby then great. Failing that I will be going over to Pao n' Hellcat's place near Barerstr later so either I can give it to them or perhaps someone in and around that area can get it.

sounds good. Count on another 2-3.

Thanks Ebob for providing a pic. I have seen the place before and thought it would make a great spot to get together. Thanks JoolyB for the map link- you are a god among other Boolies or Joo-joo-bees or whatever it is you are the god of.
Mostly likely count two more in.

The weather should be great!

Keydeck, I live about 5 mins' bike ride away from you or 2 in the car, jnct. Friedenheimer / Agnes-Bernauer... we could meet at Westend and I'll hop on the next train, could you meet up at about 18:15?

That´s BEERGARDEN WEATHER indeed, i´m in.

Was planning on staying off the grog for a while, well until the weekend at least, but look at that weather

And a picture on a sunny day

and one a little while ago

What the hell is Fahrenheit??? Another cruel American invention?

I'll be landing in Munich around 8pm, so should be able to get there by 9.30ish?? If you suddenly change venue at any point, Pootle can send me a quick text.

I don't really know what to make of 79° feels like 79°...WTF?? Of course it's going to feel like 79° - because it bloody well is...who comes up with this shit??

Anyway...I'm with Canuck on this. Fahrenheit?? That's what they used in the olden days, isn't it?

Right so, Jooly has the blue guitar so you can look for it in the beer garden tomorrow.

Please take care of it as it's all I have to practise on when I can't plug my amp in.

Enjoy!

actually, as might be obvious from the name, the Fahrenheit scale of measurement was invented by, gasp, a German! Back in 1724.

Hazza is correct. Celsius, while invented much earlier, was only adopted in 1948. The US didn't. But, carn Hazza, "feels like" accounts for when it doesn't feel like the actual temperature due to wind chill, humidity, etc. You know that. Same thing can happen in Celsius - 18, but feels like 17.

Not sure if I'll make it tonight now. Feeling a little crappy (and cranky obviously ).

EDIT: sorry, I guess profundo beat me to it.

Looks like we will have the AIM's joining us tonight as well - should be a good crack.

If you dont want to walk all the way through englischer garten, the 54 bus goes from Munchener Freiheit and will drop you off right by the tower, likewise this bus runs from ostbahnhof the other end (if your coming from that side of town).

Should be in the beer garden by 6pm! See you all soon

P

hi all I may be there by about 7pm as have a german lesson, would love to meet all you guys also 3lions if you're just getting in i can meet up with you and get my penguins and wagonwheels hehe

see you all there bout 7ish, possibly bring julia with me, not sure yet, lovely weather though!

sleepycat...zzz

Will definitely be along, probably not until about 7-7.30 though.

hi again, im not going to be able to make tonight im afraid, not feeling very well but if the weather is nice next week will join you all then, 3lions - pm me bout chocolates and we can arrange to meet up sometime during the week.

sleepycat...zzzz

sigh...wanted to meet you all but maybe next week...

I'll be along about 6:30.
Looking forward to seeing the face of whoever draws Germany
Or is that tempting fate?

Will be there at 6,

ciao for now!

I'm not going - but then again, I spent most of yesterday arvo there!!!

Like I said before...If I draw Germany, I'll trade for Latvia (or even Ireland )...no questions asked!!

l'm coming too so save me a space in the sun, ta

Ok, the guitar is pumped and Tinna's talked me into leaving early.

I'll be there at 6.30 with the guitar and a raging thirst

PM me for my mobile no. if you want to be sure to meet...

Sorry, couldn't make it. Things came up. Had to work late.

Philosophical question:
If a tree party
falls happens
in the woods Chinese Tower
and no one Keydeck/Sparty
is around to hear it, take photos
does it make a sound? exist?

I hope everyone had a great time in the 76°F/24.44°C/297.594°K weather if you really were there!!!
See youse next time.
-p

fun times... w00t goes out to the WagonWheels. mmm good

Good to meet some of you people last night and put names to faces, even if some of the names are a bit dodgy
It would none of it have been possible without the blue guitar!
Oh, and I’d forgotten how good Penguins taste.
Go Greece!

Yep - a good night discussing football with Tif and property investment with Big C

Go Spain!!!

Anyone remember to take home the blue guitar? I have a vague recollection of it still being there when I left...

Morning all! Thanks for a great night. As Jeeves said it was great to put some names to faces. JoolyBooly took the blue guitar, so it will live to see another Tuesday

My head hurts. That's what I get for eating four wagon wheels I suppose...

hmm, my head hurts too and l only had a beer and 2 radlers

either someone spiked my beer or l must be getting old...(l suspect the latter)

Go Penguins...

My Penguin already went

Yeah was a good night. The beer managed to get rid of my hayfever for a few hours!

@ Big C - beer as a hayfever medication - very interesting idea!!!
@ DrivinWest - do you really think you can blame the wagon weels for it ?
Okay, here is the result: beer is healthy, sweets aren´t.

cool theory, I'd better go home and drink some beer! If anyone is still at work, get the hell outta there! Tinna and I are going to Dantebad for a swim now if anyone fancies it, can't wait to relax in the sun and have a dip!

On Friday of next week I'll be taking a leave of absence (probably permanent) from sunny Munich to set up shop for a while on the shores of Stockholm. There's a niche there for a stockholmnights.com type thingymajig that needs to be filled I've had an absolute blast during my extended 3 month stint in Munich and will definitely be dropping back in from time to time as my beloved Badger will be keeping things going here.

Weather permitting I'd like to get together a band of like-minded souls for a few scoops in a beer garden. Everyone is welcome whether you've been out with the TT crowd before or not.

Hope we can get a good crowd together.

I'll post details of where it's gonna be closer to the day.

Rog mate, what can I say? Thanks for all the advice (go read my first ever post - you were telling me to go pick up Brazilian chicks at Skyline back in September), and some brilliant nights out. TT won't be the same without you - it goes without saying that I'll be there on Tuesday to see you off. Don't be a stranger.

I've only been out with you's once for wasserman's birthday do! Then I met up with you's in the beergarden for a breif stint before training but i'll definately make a big effort to be there on tuesday where ever it may be!

Good luck in stockholm hope you have a great time there! Don't forget to keep posting your infamous pictures!
