Army of Dave Cultural Pilgrimage

I’ve said before that I have a grudging respect for people with families that embark on affairs. As part of a SITCOM family (Single Income. Three Children. Oppressive Mortgage.), I don’t have the time or energy to keep the Better Half happy, let alone two or more. She’s already aware that when the mid-life crisis hits, I’m going for the impractical sports car rather than the impractical pneumatic blonde.

As well as the full time job, being pushed around by Kids A- C and trying to work out WHY MY FUCKING KITCHEN LIGHTS DON’T WORK PROPERLY (not a euphemism), I’ve embarked on another script while The Agent tries to wring money from production companies for my previous efforts.

Which is a roundabout way of explaining why there hasn’t been a blog post for a few days.

And that I need a drink.

So I’ve had an idea: The Army of Dave Cultural Pilgrimage. The “Where” is easy. The “When” and “Who” less so.

Where? The post box on the corner of Baker Street. London. England. Home of Danger Mouse. And of a few good pubs down the road.

Who? Naturally, you are all cordially invited. It is not limited to ‘Daves’.

When? What do you fancy? Afternoon/evening session? Evening session? Let me know either on the comments or over on Twitter.

Sound good? When we come to a consensus (and I get permission from the Better Half), I shall do the usual Facebook Group and stuff like that.

 (For the benefit of clarity – and as the Better Half reads this – I would not embark on an affair as I am deeply in love with said Better Half. She bought me tickets for “Star Wars in Concert”. That’s why she’s the Better Half)

  1. Sounds good. I’m in. Assuming I’m not busy. If you’re thinking weekday, I alternate between having Weds and Tues off. So Tuesday evening is generally good. Or the weekend. The weekend is also good.

    I’d like to meet you, you’ve made me smile more than once.

    • Plus I owe you that third of a pint. And I’ll let you have half of my third because I still can’t drink.

    • Cool and the Gang. Think I’ll probably plump for a weekend.

  2. Can I be Penfold?

    • Yes. We shall know each other by our battle cry “Crumbs, DM!”

  3. Hey Dave,

    I’m definitely up for a pub crawl, sorry I mean cultural pilgrimage!

    How bout an afternoon/evening thing on Good Friday?

    Alcohol always tastes best when it is consumed on a day you would usually be working in my opinion. Plus everyone will have schnapps money.

    Whaddya think people?

  4. But… Good Friday is Good Good Friday. I go to Nottingham to be nice to strangers, race plastic ducks, dance to indie music and then beat Southerners at football.

  5. I’m questioning your commitment to the cause there Phil!

    Or…..we could just do another day.

  6. :-)

    Sadly, different cause, different commitment.

  7. You can if you want. It’s just I won’t be there.

  8. Hey Dave,
