I’ll try, but if not, I have a feeling I’ll be there by proxy again. ---

Tricky, tricky. I am definitely spending two weeks in Europe either in the late summer or fall, depending on various sundry conditions. All y’all can get together whenever you want, just as long as you were willing to drag your arses out to the pub again when I’m in town. ---

Since most of what I know of London comes from watching _National Lampoon’s European Vacation_, I would welcome the chance to hang out with some natives who know what’s going on. ---

Well, Kaylyn and I have decided that a horseback ride through Hyde Park would be fun (imagine: she asked if I had ever ridden a horse before!). I think taking the tunnel to Paris is probably out - she wasn’t keen on going and I don’t think I can face the innumerable French hordes alone; even at my best I could never defeat that many. What about Wales and Scotland? Surely there must be some fun things to do there… I think what I shall do is pick up that book by the Steves fellow that always seems to be on PBS. He goes to some neat places… ---

I shall be in the States and will NOT be attending. You’ll have to find some other wide-eyed first timer to London. Have a drink on me. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tansu \* > \*\*So, are we talking Saturday August 3rd here? or a Mid-July date? > > (you changed your name, you sneaky girl;)) \*\* Well, anytime is good for me, I just get a travelcard, and I’m sorted. But it looks like more people want to do August. So I guess we should aim for the 3rd? 1pm at Waterloo again? heh heh, yep, I changed my name… for some reason after that night I wasn’t feeling quite so cynical anymore! 😉 _bounces out_ ---

Early August? Weekend of August 3, eh? Got any room for a fascist Dutch mod type? I just found a suitable ticket for EUR 150 for that weekend, well, it’s for Stansted. I’d arrive friday evening, and leave sunday night. Here’s the deal: if one of the Londopers will put me up for two nights (preferably with a roof) I’m game. Good to see Yojimbo’s one of the potential participants, I’d love to have a few more beers with that character. 🙂 Twisty? Dude? C’mon man! ---

Well since **Anahita** can’t make it, and I have a feeling **Twisty** might be staying with somene else (_snicker_) I might be able to put you up :). I can’t make any promises yet but I’ll certainly look into it and get back to you. **Annie** can attest to the comfort (or otherwise) of the spare bed. ---

Ideally, I’ll be in London sometime between Aug 1 and Aug 5. If the dopefest is Aug 3rd… I guess I can swing that! I’ll probably fly back to Dublin just in time to fly to Amsterdam with ya, **Coldfire!** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/international-londope-ii/111153.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/international-londope-ii/111153.md?page=3)
