dcdeb Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I will be in the UK on business. There will be no Toast. Only beer There is a very strong possibility -- and if I have to go all the way to London to meet you, it'll be rather like when I went all the way to Glasgow to see Mika... Will pass on the beer, however... may just go for gin & tonic with lemon dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyMoose Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 My wonderful friend pinkunicorn123 will be around i think, although how welcome she will be is questionable. If she doesnt attend, give her a birthday toast (arf!) in advance for her late August happy 18th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So today Andrew has messaged me that it would be better if we could try for Friday, THIS FRIDAY, 25 July! That works for me as well, but does it for anyone else? Bab? Rose? Jems? Carri? Sarahlou? Anyone? Of course we have no idea of where or when -- perhaps a more local person has a suggestion? I've got my cell phone set to international roaming, so it should work while I'm in the UK. If anyone thinks they may be able to get together on FRIDAY now (sorry for the late change), PM me for my number -- I leave later on Wednesday, so should be online until about 9ish p.m. UK time... dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyMoose Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I used to live near london. In terms of getting people together, central central london (i.e. Regent's park, Finsbury, The Strand, islington, victoria, pimlico, waterloo etc) is far better for transport links. However this will become a problem depending on what time you choose to meet as it is now a Friday and a working week. Considering London is business central during the week 7am-10:30am is a no-go for any trains, tubes or roads. 11:30-1:30 again is busy in cafes, starbucks and eateries for the lunchtime rush, just not as bad. 4:30-7 is HELL if you are planning to travel, just NO. The weather is set for 24 degrees or so and clouds, so by english standard it means that heavy muggy sort of weather....'sticky' probably being a more suitable word. Im sure you Americans/Canadians won't even notice. Therefore i would suggest one of the lovely cafes along the embankment of the Thames in Waterloo or in cafes of Covent Garden. Both are easy to access and have disasterously overpriced places to have a coffee (or something stronger) with some skillfull street performers to watch. (Last time i was there i saw i man dancing whilst playing a violin on a tightrope). Hope that is somewhat helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been to London in several years, so I'll be useless as far as suggesting anything. You say you used to live in London? Where are you now, then? Would so love to meet up with anyone who might be able to. As Andrew said, if it's just the two of us, oh, how boring Besides, his fiancee (ahem) might not like it much -- even though I am twice his age dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmalee Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hello I can do Friday afterwork but need to be back at Liverpool street for midnight otherwise I turn into a pumpkin (and my clients on saturday morning will not be impressed:naughty:) Friday is better than Saturday for me:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky question: Is anyone coming in or through Paddington Station by any chance? Im planning a trip to exeter and my train will be leaving from paddington. If someone is using that station would they mind having a quick look see as to how much as single to St David's station in Exeter is, or an open return (as i am staying the night and then coming back the next day). This will most likely be on 10th (and returning to london on the 11th) or 12th (returning to london on the 13th) of sept. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
