Unofficial Mini-LonDope in January

Shouldn’t that be dessert camouflage colour :confused:

Hehe! In WW2 they painted jeeps and land rovers a light pink.

Yeah, but from the pictures I’ve seen of the Pink Tank, its more a fushia colour. It looks scary all right.

Any more suggestions as to what to do for food? Or shall we just improvise on the day?

Woo, another Londope! If I’m feeling vaguely human on the 31st (got a big night the night before), I’ll try to pop along for dinner or whatever. Though I have a feeling I’ve got something planned for the 31st already, it can’t be all that important if I can’t remember what it is.

Well, looks like I won’t be able to make it on the 31st sulk, so you’ll just all have to go to Belgos without me. :frowning:

Any more preferences as to what to do for food? Or shall we just improvise?
And before anyone suggests it, I’m not cooking!!!

Um, I’m confused now. I thought we were all meeting up on the 24th, not the 31st?

Or am I just being thick?

No, you’re not being thick. We are meeting up on the 24th, and on the 31st. The 24th is the “early” Dopefest that arose out of Tir’s thread, and various comments about March being ages away. That’s going to be at the George Inn.

The 31st is when Tapioca Dextrin’s going to be in Reading, and something small and impromptu is to be organised for then. I think another thread hasn’t been started on that one since two Britdope planning threads would get silly.

Does that help?

don’t worry! I feel bad enough from the quiz before. i’ll buy you a beer.

You know, Gyrate, I’m actually looking forward to being able to chat to you without having a quiz in the way!

BritDopers? Silly? I’m shocked. Whatever could you be referring to? :wink:

Eva, whatever gave you the idea that we’re silly? Surely not the cleavage icing? Or the (very well thought out) quizzes, and responses thereto? Or the general hijinks that happen at a BritDope?

Not that there will be any this time - I’m going to be well behaved. Well, as well behaved as I can be. :wink:

me too, apparently.
well behaved I mean. Or as well as can be expected on an all dayer
:smiley:

I think **Bibliovore’s ** sig pretty much sums it up.

Er, can someone recap the arrangements that are definite so far?

I can make the afternoon of the 24th, but not the evening. I think I can make the 31st.

Aaah, I’m just winding you up. Yer awright by me.

For the 24th, we’re meeting at The George Inn near London Bridge apparantly. At about 1pm…

Don’t know what’s going on on the 31st though.

You should all come to our Min-ChiDope!

Should we forget about the 31st from now on. I started the confusion and once I have a more definite plan, I’ll start a new thread.

Dammit, you guys are making me jealous. I’d love another LonDope.

But with my wedding coming up next month, a plane ride and expensive boozing weekend is out of the question.

London’s just so cool! There was a time when I visited every two weeks (courtesy of an ex-GF). Couldn’t get enough of the place. Was going to move there, but the relationship stranded (and damn, am I happy now that it did!). I still “miss” London in a weird way. Even though it’s never more than an hour’s worth of flight away.

Next time, all right?

Belgo’s IS a tad crowded and warm, especially the one near Convent Garden. The food’s not bad, but I agree with Gyrate that it’s expensive. Oh well, I’m Dutch, everything’s expensive to me. :slight_smile:

I didn’t know about your wedding Coldfire - congratulations you lucky
bastard!

Heloise is lucky to get you too, of course. I bet you’ll make a beautiful bride and groom.
