I missed this one due to, er, unforseen fiscal problems.

I, er... transferred too much money out of my account and forgot I needed cash for this

Next year, Gadget, next year!

I totaly missed the boat on this one and could have went too as I was off work.

Also cool name Parmenion, let's hope you do not suffer a similar fate to your namesake.

Sounds good to me. I guess we'll have to get a little Chronicles corner in one of the local drinking holes ... after the compulsory curry, of course! Rod Glenn, Winters Sorrow, you and I could put the world to rights.

There are no locals anymore in Newcastle. The place is a haven for easy women and liver related illness.

Ah, your pessimism always manages to cheer me up Lace. Not saying you're wrong though. I'm sure there's an unspoilt bar or two left however

Everytime i go there for a meal or a drink the bar or resturant appears to have reinvented itself under some homo appealing name. Not that I have issue with the homo. I used to drink in the Frog and Firkin, I thinks it was called, but it has had several name changes since and appears to attract a different sort of alcoholic. The more i think about it the more I thinks it was called something other than The Frog and Firkin. I thinks that was a bar on Newgate/Haymarket Street. The bar I am referring to was just off the Quayside and had a big balcony area in which you could drink.

I forgets how hammered I was virtually every waking moment back in those dark days.

That one was the Pitcher & Piano. Suitable for posers only,

The Crown Posada - now there's a pub!

(boy has this thread gone way off topic. Ah what the hell - Fantasycon 06 is finished anyway)

Lacedaemonian · 28th September 2006, 07:18 PM

Nah man. It was up on the hill and had a large balcony. Just off the Quayside near the court house.

Mark Robson · 28th September 2006, 10:35 PM

Guys! Guys! Never mind which pub is which - so long as the one you choose serves beer ... and you're paying, I'll find you.

All feedback (both positive and negative) will be most welcome... and thanks to everyone that could make it - you made the event!!

Hi Jen, congratulations on a great con. Really enjoyed myself.

Was also nice to meet you (however briefly). My sympathies to all who were unable to make it... Roll on Fantasycon 2007!

It upsets me though Mark. I forgets so much. The wines addled my brains.
