The first Rappi Bier Ploughmans of 2011 - Page 2

The Chilli Pickled Eggs are maturing nicely.....

it's looking like the cheese selection will be:

Westcombe PDO Cheddar
Godminster Bio Cheddar
Cropwell Bishop Stilton
Shropshire Blue
Dunsyre Blue
King Richard III Wensleydale
Gorwydd Caerphilly
"Tasty" and "Creamy" Lancashire

there may be one or 2 more depending on how much is left after this busy weekend. But there will at least be a lot of beer!

And the Rappi also has the smallest pole-dancing joint I ever dun saw.

Is there going to be enough tables for this event? Will it matter if I come earlier? Also, strangely, will there be any non alcoholic beverages available? I might have a friend come along that doesn't drink. I can't remember from last time.

Soft drinks are available, we take the kids so there is coke etc. Usually room to sit, tables are bench style so you just have to introduce yourself and join a table. Nice way to meet new people and am sure people would make room

I don't remember how far of a walk it is from the train station in Rappi. We are planning to go to another event in Wadi later in the night, and probably will take a taxi. Can I save a dime walking from the Brewery to the train station, or will the walk be a bit difficult post digestion?

#26 22.05.2011, 11:19

it's 10 minutes walk, max. to the station. Maybe a little bit more on the return leg...!!

The important question is will Steve be showing the Champions League final on his huge HD panel in the brewery?

Is it anywhere near the stop for the Basel airport bus?

Cheers,
Nick

Yeah, this country is small. Plus the definitly believe you won't find the same quality british any closer other then bloody hell England itself.

A comfortable, mostly sunny 20 degrees on Saturday should make for perfect Rappi weather... Oh, and if some of you maybes are actually going to make it, you may want to say so--or else we may not have enough cheese for everyone. grumpy tries to plan ahead, but with this many people, it makes things a bit more difficult. It should be a lovely day though (and I can't wait)!

So sad I cannot join but have a business related trip

And you GG mentioning all the cheeses! That was just mean

Sorry, but did you get to the Expat-Expo in Basel on Sunday?

SWISSG · #32 26.05.2011, 21:57

Sun, beer, cheese...Perfect!

Now, what to wear?

The maybe list is very interesting. Can't wait to see which of them make it.
Is the Texaner really gonna come? Will I meet M and M and mini-M? Is Weejim gonna talk to us? Can Confloozed get his sh1t together.... (I know he's not a maybe , but in my mind he is.)
I can hardly take the excitement!

Where I can see in the past I haven't been a "guarantee", I have made plans to go and meet another friend or two. Rain or Shine.

We are going to need a lot more benches...

Or we could use space saving poles and have the ladies use them instead of chairs. I think this will work.

Texaner · #36 27.05.2011, 12:02

Aarrgh! I was really looking forward to attending this, but discovered last night that a friend has made other plans for me.

i-b-deborah · #37 27.05.2011, 12:04

Did I.... did I scare you away?

Don't get me wrong... There is genuine interest on this forum by the ladies for pole dancing fitness... In the interests of economy, logistics and fair play, my suggestion was sincere and genuine.

Perhaps you were thinking aerial hoops would be better ?
