Anyone fancy a pint?

From various discussions in other threads it seems that there are a fair few of us populating Wales and SW England. Having seen how much fun all the MLG members who were able to attend Eurogamer had, I wondered if anyone was interested in doing something for a few hours one evening in the Welsh capital e.g. Find a pub, drink some beer / lager /soft drink if you're driving, eat some crisps / nuts / scratchings and talk games (amongst other things).

I've just received Dark Souls in the post so could probably fill the entire night up simply describing the different ways I've been horribly mutilated.

Thought it would be best to try and tie a day (possibly a date?) down first just to see what's best for everyone.  Automatically thought near weekend but I know some people (Norfolk Jesus for one) are in the area in the week so perhaps a Wednesday would be a nice way of breaking the working week? Current thought is end of Oct / start of Nov depending on MLG availability.

What say you fine people? Does this idea have legs? If so, leave a reply and your preferred day and we'll go with the majority.

If it's a Friday or Saturday then I'd be up for the trek across country.

That's if you'll have me!

i heared hes not aloud back in beacause he left

'Diolch yn fawr' for your replies, the level of interest is great particularly from those willing to travel many miles to share a pint with fellow gameheads!

Lots of ideas too, it sounds like there are several reasons for organising more than one get together over the coming months in the general area.

Looking through the posts, I'm thinking perhaps an informal midweek beer fairly soon and then perhaps a more sustained session on or over a weekend to make it worth the while of those who have to come from afar.  And definitely involving wassiratti's band!

However, think I may end up using a year's worth of free passes from my wife and kids if I disappear for the weekend (or at least end up with a 3 month sentence of house cleaning and nappy changing detail ) so someone else may have to pick up the reins for that idea?…

Re: the midweek meet – how about a Wednesday night and how about 2nd or 9th Nov?  Thinking centrally, the Rummer Tavern has space to sit and chat, nice atmos with a good selection behind the bar.  It's also right next to the Castle so easy to find.  There are also some nice pubs along Cathedral Road but they're a little walk out of the centre.  If required, there are at least 3 Wetherspoons pubs that I know of but that'll involve having to talk to heavily inebriated old Welshmen (in addition to myself!)

Any other ideas gratefully received as my Cardiff pub knowledge is a little sketchy.

Rummer is 10 min approx  once you leave the station and get onto the newly pedestrianised Mary St. Right opposite Castle (and, less importantly, next to a Subways!).  Sort of in the gap where Queen St and Mary St. meet.  Black fronted pub, sort of a mock tudor thing going on.  Find it here:
