Teh Forum London Xmas Meat - 2011

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

More drama, less broken bones.

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? :/

So... currently seems Milko would rather be with other people, and Serg is possibly going to start vomiting everywhere.

Which means that it'd be two non-drinkers sitting in a pub for 2-3 hours, before finding out if a big fun fare at Hyde park is considered more exciting. :/


So now I'm thinking that the train fair alone could buy me 12 litres of Coke, and maybe I should stay in and get some work done instead. :S

I have no spare hard drives.

 

And it would be a bit of a shame to cancel another meat (northerners can't say anything as they didn't even try).

 

I'm in london anyway so just post here what your plan is and I'm bound to see it.

If you're still coming (nj) then I'm sure pb and I can spend some quality time together (mj).

I'm currently undecided, but hungry, so I'm going to eat something now. Maybe turn up for 2pm or 3pm instead... will post again once I've made up my mind.

Sorry, I'm feeling too agoraphobic now, so going to bail. :(

As you can see I'm wearing the same hat as the first Christmas meat, which I believe was 10 years ago.

 

I'm going to wait here for a while but unless anyone can give me a definite time on when they will get here i'll probably be gone by 3.

 

:(

Looks like we won't be jumping on a train then. We'd decided against Winter Wonderland in the end, as we were shattered this morning. We were just going to come straight to the pub instead.

 

Ah well, another crap attempt at getting southerners together in a pub in London. You're all shit (apart from Gary).

Dunno.

I occasionally see him on Facebook laughing at Kos's bad jokes.


For the spring I think we really need to hire a minibus and do some kidnapping.
