Last night we stuck close to home. We convened at the Exmouth Arms at 6pm, and after some dilly dallying and drinking, we drew teams. Poppy, long covetou of being the chicken, finally succeeded, viz. Four teams set off in search of the chicken. My team which included Rob, Bianca, and Sebastian set off south from Exmouth Market, but quickly turned east, thinking that a small woman in a chicken costume would be most likely to keep to busier roads.
After a failed attempt to check for her at the Peasant it was closed for a private function we made our way to the Dovetail in Jerusalem Passage since we all know how Poppy loves the Modern Pantry. Our plan after that was to check the pubs near Clerkenwell Green, but before that we made a remarkable discovery on the Twitter:. I am exmouth market ec1 map of texas the Betsey Trotwood. There is a young woman sat on her own in a chicken costume. She looks quite glum….
To quote Fitzwilliam Darcy: It took about 90 minutes for everyone else to exmouth market ec1 map of texas us, which did not go unnoticed by our Twitter tipster:.
But, on the plus side, the Exmouth market ec1 map of texas had very pretty origami cranes hanging from the ceiling and casting their avian shadows over our exmouth market ec1 map of texas. We ended up with twenty people 3 who live in Oxford, 16 who live in London, 1 who lives in San Francisco. We began at the Weatsheaf, a townie pub if ever there was one. As it turned out, I had the good fortune of drawing my own name exmouth market ec1 map of texas be One Giant Chicken.
Where else could I go, really? On the way, though, I was like the pied piper. Several toddlers presumably mistaking me for Big Bird tried to follow me on my merry way. Anyway, despite Oxford being a fantastic city in which to drink, we discovered some downsides for One Giant Chicken.
The first was intentional: That meant no college bars or butteries; nor could the chicken avail itself of Vinnies, the Union Bar, or the University Club. We also made sure that an Oxonian was able to captain each team. And there they found me, almost immediately. Team 2, led by Syracuse and Poppy, made a few false starts Chequers?! After which they found us very quickly though they still did Strawpedos at the Old Tom on their way south. Suffice to say it was worth the wait.
We chose Soho for its central location, its large number of pubs, and its easy-to-define boundaries see below. We invited a large group of friends through Faceboard, and we met at the Crown and Two Chairman, exmouth market ec1 map of texas favourite pub amongst our group of friends.
She disappeared down the street in heels and a chicken costume and soon sent an infuriating photo of a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice…and off we went. Dallas correspondent Gus writes: We drew the teams out of the hat the day prior and tasked each team with coming up with a theme. Given Dallas has a large number of bars with open patios in the area we played we had a lot of teams who were caught gazing into a patio area and had to stop on many more occasions for a pint then they had hoped for.
Our plan after that was to check the pubs near Clerkenwell Green, but before that we made a remarkable exmouth market ec1 map of texas on the Twitter: It took about 90 minutes for everyone else to join us, which did not go unnoticed by our Twitter tipster: Obviously also Spokane at some point. The result was that exmouth market ec1 map of texas were VERY drunk and rather peeved by the time I posted my tip… After which they found us very quickly though they still did Strawpedos at the Old Tom on their way south.
Otherwise it risks being rather predictable. Playing on a beautiful day is great, but you should be aware that chickens like beer gardens, and that can narrow down the options. No one in Oxford bats an eyelash at a grown man wearing a chicken costume at a pub mid-afternoon whilst reading the London Review of Books. No one even asked me what was going on. Pictures to come shortly.
