If I had a private jet, there would be no question of whether you were in or not.

Well I'm still in, as is Helen and Martin keeps asking me about it, which means he's pretty much coming.

 

We're going to Winter Wonderland earlier in the day, so we'll already be in London. Would be nice to have a few drinks afterwards too, as we've had a pretty lousy week of it (death in the family).

I'm a definite if that helps.

(Psst, He didn't actually mention if you were in or not, just that there was no question of it.)

I noticed that, but I figured I'd give him the benefit. Plus I love Peter so I know he'd do it.

So, tomorrow at 14:00 the seven best Tehites will be arriving at Fitzroy Tavern.

Pncool, Helen, Martin, PB, Milko, Serg, Voltane.

Any last minute drop-ins want to increase the variety?


Did anyone want to do 13:00 at the pizza place beforehand, or are you thinking of ordering Fitzroy food instead? (what times do they serve?)

mm. I'm getting a bit less likely. People are making demands on my time! And I haven't got much fight in me. Hnng. We'll see.

Can do pizza beforehand.

Cool, I'll arrive 1pm at the pizza place then. :)

 


Well, I will if someone reminds me what's the best tube station to use... TFL is saying either Oxford Circus or Tottenham Court Road, but I was expecting either Warren Street or Goodge Street - I'm sure one of those is what I've used in the past. :S

It's like a 5 minute walk from Tottenham Court Road, which is usually easier to get to than Goodge Street because of the lines that go through it.

 

I'm afraid I'm probably going to be a bit shit and turn up slightly later, as I'm lightly sozzled from my work's Xmas do right now and I doubt I'll get up that early. I also promised Helen a visit to Winter Wonderland first.

 

I AM coming though (nj), just probably not for 2pm. More like 3 or 4pm.

Jesus Christmas. These Southern Meats are such drama.

Lazy bugger! :@


I went and looked up various combinations and, according to TFL+Google Maps, the simplest and fastest for me means getting off at Oxford Street.

Victoria->Warren = 43 minutes (31 tfl + 12 walk)
Victoria->Oxford->TCR = 41 minutes (35 tfl + 6 walk)
Victoria->Warren->Goodge = 40 minutes (38 tfl + 2 walk)
Clapham->Waterloo->Goodge = 39 minutes (37 tfl + 2 walk)
Victoria->Oxford = 39 minutes (29 tfl + 10 walk)

You're just upset because you don't have such a great variety of transport choices up there.


I seem to remember far more drama from you and your fellow countryfolk with the supposed "northern invasion" a few years back. :P

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

Yes, I I blamed the lack of public transport options

I should be attending, although it might be a fleeting attendance :( we'll see, depends on how I feel. Roar!

Don't suppose you've got any spare hard drives? :/
