Re: HLP London BBQ - Holy Crap! Who's running this army?!
I'm off on a work "meeting" (jolly) Friday daytime near Northampton, so may be a bit late arriving in London and getting back to Da Hill On Friday. Not much, just a little. So turning up Friday night is optional but certainly available.

Saturday is a given. Hope the weather behaves.

Advise people don't worry about heading back until Sunday.

Have we got a definite set of folks coming? I'll PM my actual address so you can see exactly where to find us. Very very easy to get to.
Contrary to rumour, a mojito is actually the manliest drink around, dammit!

I'm coming. Sounds like it should be fun. Coming down on Saturday morning would probably be easier for me though.

Meeting up at London Bridge sounds like a good idea too.

Hold on hold on hold on.

The actual event was meant to be Saturday, right? I'm likely going to be a bit late back on Friday.

We can still do Friday if you'd prefer, or I'm happy for people to come down that night and have the BBQ on Saturday anyway.

Just so long as we are all agreed what happens when.

TE - no Xbox. I have my old PC behind the TV acting as a console.

Then a pleasant Train ride.

I'm not joking about the tent either. although the thought of lugging it about makes me reconsider the spare room.

Clothes
Wash kit
Netbook
Wii
Xbox?

TENT?

Re: HLP London BBQ - Holy Crap! Who's running this army?!
Righto, so I'll give you a shout when I get back to London and come to meet you wherever you are near London Bridge. I shouldn't be too late.

As for what to bring, I do have a 1080p TV but I don't have any consoles. Just a trusty old GeForce 7600GT PC with a few multiplayer games and co-ops installed on it.

For sleeping arrangements, there is a spare double room, a double inflatable mattress, a three seater and a two seater. So I think we're covered there already. Would advise bringing own toothbrush as wife doesn't like sharing. If someone really wants to go in a tent, there is a lawn.

Might be a good idea to bring a towel.

Supermarket and other shops are well (WELL!) within walking distance, so I wouldn't worry about bringing too much alcohol with you. Ditto food.

My parents don't turn up until late-ish Sunday, so crashing Saturday night is also welcome (unless you've vomitted on the carpet, making the colour even worse!)

No wanking in the shower.

Quote
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels...

"A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with."
