somebody should organise them. marty21 ?

with my reputation? I haven't organised Hackney drinks for years, since I organised a meet up at the Pub on the Fields and only 2 of us turned up, alas not at the same time I'm jinxed I tell ya!

 

[dolly's gal]

whereas the last time i organised hackney drinks it was awesome and loads of people came but then that was when people knew who i was and none of those people post here anymore

so what to do? re: hackney drinks?

 

[rutabowa]

i tried to organise 1 and only i turned up.

 

[rutabowa]

I guess there is 3 of us up for it though and even if only we turn up that will be ok.

 

[klang]

[dolly's gal]

is this an appropriate forum to raise the issue of those weird black super busses that you only ever seem to see in hackney? because I'm against them

I see them a lot as there is a bus nest in the middle of the Lea Bridge Roundabout - they are sponsored by Adidas for the World Cup I think
