RLP area drinks meetup (Trier/Saarbrücken/K-town)

Guys, i think it´s time we had another meetup here... whaddya say?

I say absolutely. Just say when and where.

The latter part of the week is usually best for me I think there´s a pub quiz in Thursty Nelly´s here on Wed. I´m not sure if the other irish pub - harp - has one too, but i´ll check tomorrow.

@Turasteanga and AshleyM - any chance you´ll be interested in coming down to these parts as well?

Hey there,

it's either feast or famine here. We're a lot on this week already but I will ask the other half if he want to take a wander this to Kaiserslautern this week. If not this week, maybe next week. Would love an oul pub quiz.

I'll be back! t

If this turns into a pub quiz I may just show up. I've been trying to impart the atmosphere of a pub quiz to my Weib for G. knows how long.

Hi there,

just coming back...I misread the first mail about the quiz and thought it was on Thursday which would have suited. But it's on Wednesday instead. So this week is out as it's someone's birthday, friend of hubby.

But if you guys don't make it this week, then maybe next week would be a runner.

@Tom, was at a couple of pub quizzes here already in DE. Not sure if the atmosphere is all the same here. But then I was in a pub full of crafty and very serious Germans who apparently were using their mobiles to text people for help! As I say, it was different!

cheers y'all!

I must say I have never been to a pub quiz. It sounds like loads of fun, and I have been wanting to get to the one in Mannheim!

If they text for help, isn't that cheating?

Sadly enough, my nights out are limited to weekends with the occasional rare weeknight! ( I need my beauty sleep, I have to go to bed by 9 on weeknights! )

Guys, the pub quiz is on Weds. in Thursty Nelly's which means Turas and Ashley are likely out, on account of a conflicting appointment and the need for beauty sleep. Couldn't yet check with Harp.

But it appears we have two *newcomers* - Bohemka and Tom. So we could just make it a good ol' fashioned meet-up this friday evening? Wot say?

Question. Is The Statt Wien resturant still in K-Town ? It's Been a long time since I have been there. Like about 40 years or better . Used to have a great time there. Also is there still a A&W Root Beer Drive in on Pariser strasse on the way out to Vogelweh.
I used to work there when it first opened . Man this brings back memories.

@nnwhitestallion --> Dunno about either place but I'd say they're long gone A colleague of mine mentioned that KL received a massive facelift just before the soccer world cup 2 years back, and a couple of times before that too.

The only place in town to get A&W root beer these days is in the Vogelweh residential area... and non-military aren't allowed in there since 9/11.

Well Chairman, I for one think Friday night would be better alright. Then everyone can relax knowing the weekend is nigh. It will have to be Friday night for me, I have a serious amount of Rugby to follow on Saturday

@ Ashley Pub quizzes can be great fun and yes, mobile texting and out of character with friendly pub quizzes. IMHO.

Anybody else on for Friday, other than our Chairman

turas

Great. So here's the list for Fri. so far.
---
- Turasteanga + 1

---
Shall we say 7:30pm? I'll post the venue and directions after I do a bit of digging around for something different from the Brauhaus.

Oh, and I prefer to be called "Dear leader" a la Kim Jong Il...

As you wish, Dear Leader!

Friday 7:30 sounds good...

Ah Dear Leader..

It is quite possible that we may make it out and about Friday evening!

A definate maybe.

Just post the address and if "we" can make it "we" will, or if I can make it on my own I will!

How fabulous that we have a couple more people here in the RP!

p.s. Dear Leader, we will still have to discuss those dancing lessons!

This is my kind of planning. Wednesday's done, so... yeah... Friday it is!

We'd love to join you guys. Me + at least one, maybe + three. Hell, maybe plus four.

I hope those kind of numbers aren't intimidating.
