Following the assured sucess of the A2K London Meet IV this week, I have been tasked by Gautam with hosting the topic for the fifth such event. Around Christmas time seemed like a good plan.
If anyone would like to contribute ideas for dates, locations, whatever, then please post here.
It doesn't even have to be in London, so if anyone can think of somewhere else to go then all ideas can be kicked around in here till we come up with something suitable for all the UK & Ireland (smokingunne?) members. Cool...!
<sigh> if only my staff listened to me so much !!
I am all for it !! But not in London ? London is the center of the world dude - 0 deg meridian and all that !!!
Just an idea mate! As about 1/6th of the UK population live in London/M25 then perhaps it's best... We'll see though. I'm easy like Sunday morning!
"easy like sunday morning" - nice one !! Till now, I used to say "easy like me"

but that is another story.
I've posted similar on the London thread, but the intention really is an exclusÃve Britain and Ireland meeting.
(Thinking that I'd been on two of the previous London meetings, even with my wife ...

)
Pfffftttt!
Too bloody cold!
Come to Oz! (GD - little use for umbrellas here!)
Gautam - can you help me persuade Walter that we weren't trying to exclude any of our Continental chums?!
You probably have been re-thing of 1066, the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans etc?
Honestly, I don't think that I'm allowed to fly over in pre-Christmas times, but ...
Walter ! How dare you cause distress to our newest recruit from the UK !!
Apologize !!! RIGHT NOW !!
GD, mate dont worry - they are just pulling yr leg !!! Do u really think that if they wanted to come we could stop them ??
I'm too hung-over to be distressed. Just confused...

attaboy !! You remind me of not so distant past (well abt 2 weeks ago) - these days, I have resolved not to drink during Mon-Thu if I am in London...
Though when I get home and look at my bar - it is bloody difficult !!!
Walter - With gracious thanks for your apology, and in your honour, I have renamed the topic! I trust this meets with your approval. I for one would very much like to put a face to the name 'Walter Hinteler'!
Now, what abt Aussies and Americans who might want to attend ????
G - How about I rename it "A2K Worldwide Meet"? Or perhaps "A2K 'Anyone who wants to come to London' Meet"? I'm open to suggestions!
An A2K UK meet - to which EVERYONE is invited !!
Hebba might be interested. He lives in Denmark; I might remember that he is from England. I haven't seen him around a2k recently, but he may just have been busy.

Here are the links to the photos of
A2K meeting London, 20.03.2003
and
London meeting, August, 2003 (which was attended besides our missus by McTag, Steve and me.).
I'm on the one and the other pic, too, not faceless, as far as I remember
Right, I've had enough. I still haven't been to London.
Gautam - you're gonna have to sort this out mate I'm afraid. It's gonna be too tricky for me arrange a meal in a restaurant I've never been to in a city I've only been to once when I was 11! Any ideas?
Anyone else who is likely to come, post with what you'd like to eat and I'll sub-contract my duties back to Gautam to sort the finer details...
