16-Jun-13 - London meet-up

[stijndeloose]

So I unexpectedly ended up in London... I'm only here for two days, and I'll be working most of the time, but if all goes well, I should be able to have a coupla pints tomorrow evening sometime after 18.00-19.00... Preferably somewhere near my hotel (i.e. near Paddington), seeing as I'm flying out at 6.30 am on Monday...

Anyone thirsty?

[Doubtdispelled]

Oh, give us plenty of notice, why don't you?

Now.. do I want to drive to London tomorrow to meet a spotty cat in a bar?

More importantly, does a spotty cat want some old fart waving at him from across a crowded bar?

(This ^^ is assuming I find out what said cat looks like beforehand, of course)

[stijndeloose]

Well, it's not like I had plenty of notice myself... I was sent in to replace a colleague who was sent off to South-Africa...

You would fit well in SA, camouflage and all that, why didn't they send you?

[Fallible]

You're a very inconvenient cat.

'cause I also have to be in Lough Erne by Monday, and because I was doing a seminar near Lisbon the last couple of days.

[stijndeloose]

Oh, and I'm easy to recognise. I look like this:

And yes, I know you look like a spotty cat. Me, I have stripes.

Nora's in London, so's Genes.... can't think of - oh, wait, Blip was but I think she moved...

[stijndeloose]

Genes will be there.

[Doubtdispelled]

[quote="stijndeloose";p="1736441"]Genes will be there. [/quote]

[stijndeloose]

It's his idea, actually... he brought it up on Facebook when I signed in from London. Credit where credit is due.

[GenesForLife]

will likely be dressed in all black, with a blazer - the ten storey bin liner is not making a journey this time round.

Ah, I see! For me, I think it's too far to go just for a couple of drinks at short notice, but I'd like to see photos of you two together. Nora and I were talking about meeting up again in London in the near future, and she said perhaps we could ask Genes to meet us when we do. I think she'll be off getting her tea right now, but she'll be back on and perhaps think about making it a threesome....

[natselrox]

Genes doesn't drink.

Oh lor, he's not a breatharian, is he?

Er, I, um wha?

[Fallible]

Long leather coat, I suspect.

Ah, thanks, Fall. I suspect you might be right!

[james1v]

Just got back from a three month stint working in London. A bit too far from sunny Sheffield to go for a beer, shame it wasn't earlier. Have a good time.
