London Meet

Ok, so this was just mentioned in another thread…

When shall we do a London Meet???

I dont mind organising meeting times and finding a decent pub (I’ll have to do LOTS of research!! :D)

How does the 15th of September sound for starters?
(unless anyone has other ideas!)

Hey, give us time to get over Saturday’s do already!

If I’m around I’m interested, but as usual I have no idea where I’ll be.

Welcome to the board, kat!

Being a sad, 70’s nudge, nudge kind of guy, can I be the first to offer the inevitable ‘Kat sat on a Matt’ observation ? :wink:

Also, as it’s the season for it, I’d imagine it won’t be long before other posters will be in town so maybe hold off until the next visitation ?

What’s that line about day jobs and not giving them up, LC?

I can probably make it unless I’m away job hunting.

Probably no good for me - exams & holiday. in September/October.

Maybe tie it in with this thread by mrblue - the timing seems to roughly coincide ?

Thanks, LC

I was considering taking Pookah up on her offer in Brighton on the 15th, but if we can get a full-blown Dopefest together, I’d be up for that. (Maybe we can get her to swing north?)

Being the innocent American, unaccustomed to British English, I pray you’ll not get too bloody upset when I haven’t a clue wot you blokes are talking about. :wink:

Cheers LC! Nice ta meet y’all! waves
Mr Blue… try this :smiley:

Seeing as how I’ll be leaving for England this Saturday, I thought I would bump this… Does anyone have any suggestions for place and time?

I’m still up for it, but since I don’t live in the city, it’ll have to be up to Kat, L_C, or Crusoe to pick a place & time. I’d just like to throw in one suggestion however, can it be a place with decent real ales like maybe a Fuller’s or Young’s pub?

Meeting behind my back again?? again??

You tramps.

I FEEL SO DIRTY!!
enough of that. Mr Blue, a word of advice.

Don’t eat Kabbes’ Lime Chutney.

Remember that and you will survive.

Enjoy!!

What’s your schedule like?

Sorry. I’m away on 15 and 16 September now (boozing in Brighton).

For the most part I’m making it up as I go, but the general plan is to be in London or the general area Sept 15-22.

The words “Lime Chutney” do sound pretty frightening…

Chilli lime chutney is lovely. Twisty just needs some practice!

I prefer mango chutney myself.

If you have enough time on the Saturday the 22nd, the London Open House is happening that weekend, which allows access to lots of buildings not usually open to the public. If that sounds interesting, you might want to get a guidebook.

As for a meeting date: alas, I’m booked for the 15th (Last Night of the Proms, doncha know) and will be out of the country Sept. 17-19, but other than that I’m likely to be free. Otherwise, go on and party without me. I won’t mind. Really.

OK guys, time is running short.

I suggest Friday 21 Sept. You pick time any location, preferrably accessible by tube. I’m in York right now, and I don’t expect to have regular access. If you want to do this, we need some direction…

Psst… Anybody still there?

OK, the B&B I’m currently booked at is between the Notting Hill Gate and High Kensington tube stations (IIRC), but no guarantee I’ll be there the whole time. Even so, I’m pretty good at finding my way around subways, so I don’t think anything will be terribly difficult if it’s in reasonable range…

C’mon blokes, need someone to take charge here…
