Richard I would have been there old bean, if I could have got the time off. I really enjoy these folk sessions has it involves firstly drinking secondly playing and thirdly great people.

We all have to miss sessions because of work.
distance is nothing to me. Where theres a pub there a way I say.I can drive but choose not too.

Lift or no lift. get a lift, Hitch, walk start at 6am in the morning. My Polish Girlfriends got the right hump with me she said I should have phoned in sick." She up the pole. She wanted to come and crash at mine afterwards, Which is all very well ,she dont go back to work till Jan 5th 2009.While she stays at her parents house in Chislehurst. This is not a rant this is the truth.

We all had the same Par-larva with Otford and the football. I cannot see a round way that one. The same with noisey Regualars /landlords.
in regards to food I got starving hungry at Rochester and went round the chip shop and brought the food back in the pub. within minutes overs followed suit and the terrific landlady and landlord said nothing. After all if one drinks it healthy to eat too boot. I have just checked my work rota and I am off the 23rd 24th 25th Jan 09. So yes second time round I will be there if it come,s off .
Regards Pete.
