Heresy! 🙂 But I’m all for it, always good to try something new. I think I’m going to try all the recommended bars during my stay anyway, so keep those suggestions coming! ---

Right. I only just heard about this thanks to **Tir** , but you can definitely count me in. Any night should be fine for me, but the 8th would be best. Always nice to break up a working week with a laugh and some good company, eh? looking forward to meeting all of you who didn’t make it to the last londope. Anyone know if **Lobsang** or **jjim** are coming? ---

Personally, looking at things again, I’d prefer the 6th or 7th, seeing as I have to teach on Thursday morning, and I do not want to be hungover, or exhausted… ---

Ye Old Cheshire Cheese seems to be mentioned often, and has met approval. How’s about that? ---

This is provisional though. I get even busier than the usual insanely busy at this time of year and there is a better than even chance that I’ll still be in the office at 11pm on the chosen day. Work issues aside, I shall endeavour. pan ---

I can in no way cope with getting my name that table - but I just got my Uni timetable and can confirm I’m free on the 7th & 8th. ---

_bump_ Can we have a decision please? One of my non-Doper friends who lives in London will be joining us, and I’d like to give him a decision soon. Can I therefore humbly put foreward October 7th as the date for our MiniDopeFest therefore, and allow someone more knowledgeable than I to pick a pub? ---

Heh. Yes, Ye Old Cheshire Cheese, October 7. What time shall we convene? 18:00 or thereabouts? Or: between 18:00 and 19:00, to keep it appropriately vague? ---

Cool, I’ll book the 7th and 8th off now. I’ll probably wander into London around mid-day to have lunch at [The Texas Embassy](http://www.texasembassy.com/) if you’d like to join me. ---

I’ll be there. No, **Sir Doris** , I wasn’t eaten by a Komodo Dragon, but I did go and see them and got VERY close. Photos on the 7th if anyone’s interested. **Tir** , I hope you’ll be turning up. It’s not the same without you! This mini-Dope is a nice idea but does anyone think we can fit one more ‘proper’ Lon- or Brit-dope in before the end of the year? I missed the last one so I’m kind of keen to see y’all again. ---

Hey **Ianzin** good to see ya back! You gonna bring photos? I’ll do my best to make it down to this one. I got a monkey with your name on it just begging to be smashed. (You’ll have to sort out any additional sheets though!) 🙂 I reckon we should all do a Hallow-Dope, **in costume!** 😃 [sub]hey, at least I’ll look normal! ;)[/sub] ---

Can’t do the 8th - will be in Berlin. Monday I’m seeing friends who I would usually go out with on Wedenesday, but won’t be because I’m in Berlin. Tuesday I have a class till 9ish, but could come up for last orders perhaps? (Ever feel like you’re trying to fit several lives into one?) ---

Bugger. Can’t make it now. Stuck in fecking Reading working 13 hour days. If things change I’ll be there, but I’m not counting on it.
