Do you mean to London or since the last time I saw you?

pssst....play your cards right...and a nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse.

I plan to get teh train from Braintree, change at Witham if necessary, pop on the tube at Liverpool Street and walk from Tottenham Court Road station to Fitzrovia and the joys of cheap beer and the smell of sick at the Fitzroy Tavern for anytime between 12:00 and 13:00.

I don't think any of you buggers are anywhere near me but if you are and want a travelling companion for the all of the 90 minutes travelling I'll be doing, let me know...otherwise I'll meet you all there to drink some lovely Alpine/Ayingerbrau or whatever the hell it's called now.

I shall leave the Tavern when;

a) I'm close to not being able to safely do the journey backwards or
b) Around 11:00pm to make sure I get the last train or
c) In a body bag

Yes, still going, part time forumite that I am.

I'm going to get on the Central Line, get out at Totty Court Road and wander up to the pub for about whenever I get there! if anyone wants to share the ride (uh, Sergiu perhaps?) then it can be arranged.

I'll be coming in from Waterloo. Is TCR the nearest tube den?

hmm, it's pretty equidistant from there and Goodge St on the Northern Line (charing cross branch). Less pedestrians in the way if you go from Goodge St, but perhaps less to look at too if you think you might prefer to look in gadgety electrical shops on the way. Much of a muchness.

The lovely Claire and I MIGHT be coming on the south eastern train from crayford to charing cross and then POSSIBLY getting the tube to goodge street. If we can get babysitting sorted out that is...

A brekky of some sort would seem sensible, particularly if it involves Guinness. It's bloody hard on the heels of Ars Electronica & shortly before taking Gabe down to his halls (& pecha Kucha in Coventry) But I think I'm still on.

And now I have booked them. I'll be turning up at some point (probably between midday and one) and leaving at some point. You other buggers had better turn up.

Me and Oscar have our tickets booked now too.

 

Been a while since I've been to London...

I'm enjoying the fact that this is the first meet I don't need to book tickets to.

I'll be taking the Northern Line so will be turning up with....no one.

 

Won't be staying too late (5 or 6pm) so you'd all better get there early!

I'll be good and sozzled by then.  :)

Not possible. Just tell them that the beer is relatively cheap. And point out that's relative to London prices.

Oi, we drink Pims No. 1 Cup & lemonade.

Ahh man, I keep forgetting the date for this, and today I looked and thought "Crap!! I missed it!! WTF??". Of course its still a month away, so nm..

Hi! Maybe, will see what time I manage to leave home. I think I have your mobile number.

Rah. Managed to sort out my diary and luckilly realised before shelling out £100+ on train tickets that I'm in London and Birmingham until the 10th anyway, so the meat is perfectly timed to end a fun filled week of work.

 

So one phone call later to secure a sofa and I can now confirm that I'll head down for about 12.30ish, and I'll be travelling from Crouch End by bus and tube if anyone's coming from that end of town?
