Oohh… More photos to add to my “men in saris” collection. Anyone else want to join in? 😃 Which reminds me - I’m off clothes shopping tomorrow - for a sari - black silk, with silver embroidery. 😃 Wha? I’ll just let you all decide a venue amongst yourselves (just make it somewhere that I can find OK? Or am I going to have to ask someone for help in navigating around London?), and I’ll carry on with the clothes discussion. Hey, I might be a geeky physicist, but I’m a geeky physicist _woman_. What do you expect? 😉 ---

do not fear the Paul, **Gyrate**. I will behave. Do we have to do Camden? I’m no fan of the place. Unless we’re on award tour, around Londons finest drinking establishments. I like the west end. and **Crusoe** , if your in convenient garden, check out the Lamb & Flag. it’s alright! ---

Well, hows about we meet up in the George Inn, near London Bridge, in the afternoon, get slaughtered and see if I can gate crash us into the London Dungeon? 😃 [http://www.pubs.com/georse1.htm](http://www.pubs.com/georse1.htm) ---

The George Inn is one of London’s greatest treasures, how wonderful it would have been if it had survived intact. wonderful indeed. sounds like a plan. time? 1ish? monday we go out drinking tuesday we go out drinking wednesday-no drinking, as were already drunk. i would also like to thank the fire brigade for closing Angel station last night and the tube dumping me in Hampstead, which as far as getting to places from is the arse end of nowhere. 45 minutes late i was. damn you crappy northern line! ---

I might not be there at _exactly_ 1pm, but I’ll certainly try to make it before three. Are we definitely agreed on The George then? Any ideas about nosh or post-nosh activities? ---

George does food until about 3pm. Been a few years since I’ve eaten there, but it was damn good back then. There’s always the Hays Gallaria just down the road, there are a couple of food things there. ---

Fair enough, pub food sounds fine to me. Now are there any other special requests with regards to my attire? Salwar kemeez and Saris have already been mentioned, so are there any votes for anything else? If I’m going to wear a skirt, I might as well turn up in a kilt… ---

**Bib** needs some festive headgear, definitely. But what kind? It should involve feathers, preferably long, multicolored ones. Peacock, maybe? ---

And shoes! Definitely shoes. But it’s so difficult to select shoes without knowing about the rest of the outfit… (Don’t mind me, I’m completely stoned out of my gourd on cold medicine. Not that I’d behave so differently if I weren’t…) ---
