Well..... if there's room for his head in the car, I suppose I'll agree to meet him.

And that reminds me, people in London - can I book my train now to arrive on the 18th?? Are we going firm on the 19th?? I can save lotsa money by buying early you know. Very Happy

Clary. Clary Clary Clary. You know I was kidding. If any ladies want to meet an greying, myopic, deaf, overweight Scotsman with attitude problems, then they're welcome, but more fool them.
There, is that better?

'Course I know, didn't you know I was only teasing!!!
Greying, myopic, deaf and overweight, would you say? Well, at least I'm not deaf...... but all the others are me to a McT.

What about firmness of - wait for it -

date though?

Gautama, you are the One in London... why don't you go ahead and book stuff and then let us know your choices? I'm totally at A2K's disposal, as 'twere.

Guyz, I have some bad news. I have been told by my boss that I should be prepared to travel "at a very short notice", maybe as early as next week. So my participation is very doubtful..

I will have to drown my sorrows in scotch today evening

Hoping, you'll choose a good one, I feel sad about this - but since I'm now a frequent London traveller ... :wink:

Gautam, koi bad nahin, we will meet in some other way, some other time, I know it...

So, summarising the position, and after a few private messages were sent and received:

Gautam is very doubtful, and I'm imagining KP is too.
I feel without a host, and with diminishing numbers, it would not be worthwhile for me to travel down for an overnight stay in London. I will see Walter and Mrs Walter later anyway, so I miss seeing Steve and Clary. Which is very regrettable. But I think in the circumstances, it would be better for me to withdraw, this time. I will enthusiastically join the next one, insh'allah.

McT Sad

I wonder if I've alerted a CIA tracker now.

Suits me better this way really, I do need to work that week so I can justify getting to London for the weekend and spending time there..

there will be other times, other places. You would all be most welcome in sunny Devon, it is glorious in the spring, summer and autumn, and compared to much of Britain, sometimes in the winter too Smile

Well, just got some wonderful presents for that meeting, which where sent not anonymous from sunny California by one of the attentants of a former London meeting ...

At least, McTag and Steve will have to pleasure, to see them within a week's/fortnight's time Laughing

Thanks for they invitation, Clary.

You'll will live to rue that :wink:

Just need plenty of notice, Walter, as the b&bs get pretty booked up in advance. Sorry not to be seeing you this time.

McTag

You surmise correctly that I'm not 100%...I know that I'll have to spend a couple of weeks in Dublin, at short notice. Our clients have yet to give the go-ahead but it's highly likely to be in the next few days, which means that I can't guarantee to be in London for the 19th. Sad

Sorry to miss you all, this time, but I understand that it's a long way to travel for some of you.

Walter, if I'm in Frankfurt this summer (same project, multi-location work!) I'll certainly email you about the possibility of meeting. I miss those autobahns, anyway - traffic's too slow, here! Laughing

Hire cars are meant to be flogged to death, right? Wink

Gautam, Steve, Walter (anyone else local?) - if we are all in London/SE, shall we keep that evening open for meeting? If we can make it, it would be fun.

I'm sure, we could try making some arrangement - both for London (SE you say - long way to go with WAGN, ehem, ONE -East Anglia, what it is now :wink: ) and the summer (you could use the train [ICE/IC] as well).
