Mid week mini practice-for-August bash
Well. It seems that my organisation are sending me to that there London again, and I've wangled an overnighter (no way am I getting up at 5am to get the train down from the frozen, industrial north).

Anyone fancying a pint and a chance to chew the fat, come along. Call it a practice run for Ancenne's August bash... the wearing of a white carnation isn't compulsory, but is to be encouraged.

Thanks to Devil-in-Tights for the venue suggestion...

But seriously
There is a pub near Victoria station called teh Stage Door which has a good write up on Beer in the Evening.

Failing that, how about somewhere slightly further afield, there is a nice pub just round the corner from Green Park the name of which I have forgotten but it did a decent pint.

I'll trust your judgement
I'm not likely to get into king's cross before 7pm though, and will have to hike it to my hotel to check in first.

I'm coming in via finsbury park, so near the victoria or picallili lines is best for me.

How's about
somewhere in Covent Garden then? Good and central. Could even go to the Cave bar (I think that's what it's called. It's above the pasty shop). Or the Prince of Wales.
(, Thu 5 Jun 2008, 16:54, Reply)
Covent garden is a good idea
Prince of Wales is nice (if its the one i'm thinking of) or I think it's the Bedford on Bedford Street, or The Sussex normally has some decent real ales.

What is the protocol for these sort of meet ups then? Is Davros going to assign a flower for us to wear or do we have some sort of hand signal?

Good question. We had red carnations last time. How about being completely off the wall and going for white this time..?

I'm actually going to meet ur actual internetz people. Are you all kind of weird in real life or do you just let the internet bring out your odd sides?

^er, nice sig al
I can confirm that I am exactly the same in real life: I never shut up, I'm opinionated, and I provide TMI. I apologise for that in advance although you should find it reassuring that I am indeed absolutely no different at all. Well, maybe 'reassuring' is not the word.

Bringing the missus? How sweet that peoples is all paired off for this bash. Is that compulsory? Do we have to gaze adoringly into someone's eyes and touch their knees affectionately mid-sentence?

we have to Gaz affectionately at somones Izzzzzzz then touch either their monkey, goat or clean shaved bioethicisit innapropriately mid sentance.

It's a diffcult choice for me but I think I opt for Number 3: bioethicist. He doesn't have to be clean-shaven though.
He has no say in this whatsoever.

Edit: the goat is in second place, the monkey in third.
