Oh yeah, suppose I should mention it to him...

Alas, the 15th is my daughter's birthday, so I cannot make this.

Aww, but she was born on an awesome day!

GazChap · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 10:20

KovacsC · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 10:25

Will check finances.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 12:33

Brilliant.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good place to meet up?

We are staying using this offer.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 12:43

That's right near Evans and Peel, but I think that's a bit pricey. Oh wait, you were there too.

Good job London has good transport links, or so I've heard.

-edit- 30 mins from St Pancras so I'm happy anyway.

Don't remember, it has nice men that drive me around in cars.

Obviously my answer to going out in London is "TECHNOPUB", although BULLPUB is starting to edge its way in.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 13:49

I'm happy with technopub, I just want it to be easy to travel to for people after work.

Is there a better time too?

Sorry, I meant a good time to meet. We are around all day so can get there wherever.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 14:34

Barring work emergencies, I can be there from about 4:15pm.

Do you want me to book some space at the pub (as long as everyone is happy with the pub)?

Sounds like a plan. Cheers Grim...!

myp · **Posted:** Thu Feb 11, 2016 14:53

I will take the day off so can be around from mid-afternoon.

NervousPete · **Posted:** Fri Feb 12, 2016 18:06

This, also, is kinda tempting. I'd take the Friday off and head down on the Megabus most like. I haven't been properly out drinking on a night out in London since my early twenties. Um, where do people normally stay?

Hangover permitting I could get lots of street photography goodness in the following day, too.

On one of your serious nights out, I think your arrival time home is late enough to argue you've actually stayed in London / in a train toilet.

In all seriousness, if I stay in town I wait until 2am and then hit up lastminute.com. I can normally grab a room nearby for between £35-£50.

Sometimes they're shit holes and sometimes they're fucking sweet. Much like the with the ladies, I'm rarely fussy at that time of night.

Did people want to make any food plans or just grab a burger at techno pub if required?

Bumpity bump, this is two weeks on Friday if any of those considering it want to make firm plans. I've updated the first post with those who have said they will be coming.

Kern · **Posted:** Wed Mar 30, 2016 19:36

I'm definitely coming. Looking forward to it.
