I came to that Dopefest with at least four boxes, and I came home with one. Which had had the mince pies in it, and you’d all devoured them within a couple of hours, meaning that any latecomers didn’t get any. I will just point out that a lack of boxes over here =\> you lot won’t get many cookies. I’m tempted to try **Eva Luna’s** rugelach recipe as well. ---

Congratulations **Tir** and **Twisty**! I do hope you both manage to attend the Londopes still. I could probably do a March meeting (not like I know this far in advance!) ---

Can I suggest a date please? Either the 6th or the 13th. Not, under any circumstances the 20th - else you won’t get any cookies. So how do any of those three fit in with people’s holidays/work plans? ---

I’d say aye, but I don’t even plan as far ahead as next week. But if somebody told me, say, 2 hours before, it’s highly likely I’d turn up. might be better starting a thread about it nearer the time? I reckon. ---

No thanks - train tickets to London at the last minute are _expensive_. Give me at least a fortnight’s warning… ---

Congrats to both of you 🙂 Mind yourself over there now **Tir**! As for you **jjimm** , I will grant you the marmelade, but you just mind your mouth on the sausage thing! Go get provencale sausages from Superquinn, or if they are still around, Boswells (was that the name?). ---

Congratulations to the both of you. But **Tansu** said it so much better! March sound good to me. I’m away quite often before then, and after, but March itself I’ll be UK-based. I also look forward to visiting the Emerald Isle sometime for ‘tiny pintlets’ with Tir and Twisty. ---

Hmm… Apparantly, there are some ticket deals that allow you to fly to Dublin for 1p (plus airport tax). I sense a cunning plan emerging… ---

HEEEE!!! oh, just so you Dub’s know how lucky you are, apparently the Dart isn’t hiring, so you should be ok, besides they are unlikely to let me in the cab anyways. 😃 ---

Just adding to the general congratulations. On the more important issue of beer in March, just pick a date. The logistics of going for a drink in London are trivial for me, while March seems a terribly long way away at the moment. ---

The logistics of going for a drink in London are trivial for me, while March seems a terribly long way away at the moment. \*\* This is true, but I posted the thread now incase people wanted to come to a Londope from abroad and needed time to sort out time off work or flights or accomodation or whatever, plus I was just **too DAMN excited!** 😃 😃 😃 I imagine we’ll do a reminder thread nearer the time with the specifics for meeting up, as the planning threads always seem to get hijacked. -not looking at anyone in particular here, **Angua**. 😛 ---

At all. Well, if March is too far away, why don’t we organise something smaller sooner? ---

That said, its my own fault that I didn’t get stuff back off you at the train station. Mind you, don’t know what I would have done with all those cookies anyway. 😛 Oh, and shall we have a mini-DopeFest _before_ March? ---
