Right in line with the HLP London 2008 thread of last month, I thougt i'd get a count of heads.
Sign up, commit yourself, Obviously if you need parental accompanyment, that shouldn't stop ya from coming down, we'll just change the venue :nod: also if you have a hot sister, bring her too........
:yes:
-
I'm a possibility, depending on when it is, I'd need a bit of notice. I'd have to do a bit of saving and persuade the wife that this would be a good trip for the both of us!
"Say honey, do you fancy a weekend in London! Maybe catch a concert or a show! Oh by the way, there's a little get together going on that weekend,what a coincidence!" :lol: :yes:
July would be ideal, it's the missus's birthday that month (19th) and I could say it was her birthday treat! :drevil:
-
I could say it was her birthday treat! :drevil:
You should be ashamed. Go stand in the corner.

A trip to london, and achance to meet us>???
What more could a Boltonite want?

She's from the Wirral and wouldn't know anyone on here if she fell over them. She doesn't like the game (but she's seriously addicted to Juiced2 at the mo) and is not interested in anything on this site, (as long as I'm not chatting up ladies!). So the excuses and reasons for coming are all one-sided, my side.
-
I've got no problem turning up. Anyone else interested?
-
I count us three, IP-Andrews....... :confused: you coming? any preferred times while i'm at it?
-
Maybe, but I don't really fancy a trip to London >.>
-
What? Me leave my room and experience sunlight?? Count me out.

QFT!

Depends where it will be and how busy I am at the time to be honest, I live in London, but don't much like going into town since I have to make the most God-Awful tube journey, and London Underground are constantly farting around with the timetables.
-
Well since spending £80 to come be hilarious at you people would detract from my burger-van fund, and my fly-out-to-****-foreign-girls fund - I very much doubt I shall grace you with the awesome fury of my majestic presence.
But know that I shall be there in spirit.
Looking over your shoulder while you type your PIN into the cash machine.
-
Ahh... but here in London, we are protected by the might of the painted yellow line...
This is absolutely true, they've painted little yellow 'personal space' zones in front of cash machines 'for our safety'. Kind of like purple velvet rope in museums, Yellow paint is considered in the UK to be some kind of insurmountable barrier to crime....
-
id love to come over but this really depends on the date , summer being exremely hectic for me, and i would need a good bit of notice so i can get my hairy ass back into the uk, so as soon as you have a date i can decide wether its possible or not............
-
I will be there, just give me enough notice so I can book shore leave from the Galatea.

It may not be in the immediate future, Down the line a bit when it's warmer. july august? Anyone got any suggestions, i feel a bit like i'm chairing this, It's an open court, anyone at all have any suggestions for dates and venue? Roadhouse in camden *coughnodcough*

Before Doomsday, I'm sure.
-
Next time, come near valence in france! :P
Pity though, I would gladly have come!
-
Seriously man that's just lazy. The Eurostar is pretty fast you know. Sometimes it takes me longer to get across London to work than it would for the Eurostar to get me to france.
-

A Snail in France?

Well techinically, you woud be out of your home, therefore making you a slug! So you should be fine!

I've always suspected that it might actually work if you were granted the right to use vigilante justice on anyone who does enter the yellow box though.

City suits like me respect them............
Chavs like the indiginous populace of lewisham who come up to my work "hood" for a day trip do not. So i agree :nod:
-
So how come you guys never get around to arranging a date and time?
-
Ok mid July in london, now choose a bar/pub/venue :D
-
Spread Eagle or the Edinburgh/Edinboro (the one near Regents Park) in Camden on a Thursday works for me.
-
Spread Eagle Hmm,
Whats that ;7
-
Spread eagled? Isn't that the position of capturing enemy? All limbs spread?
Sorry, I should really stop posting under influence. But it might be so that I could attend. Though I don't remember contributing anything to community, in public at least.

Although I may be a supporter of a London based team (Crystal Palace), I've no sense of direction so I'd need info regarding nearest train/tube station. However it will be mandatory that the Commander and Chief of the Galatea will be in "uniform" on shore leave, so you will all know who I am...
-
I may just get a *HEDZ* T-shirt printed so you can redognise me, or a :V: one...............
You're gonna be Garbed up? I'm not saluting in public you realise this right?
-
I would keep the geek get up low key if I were you. Though London does seem more forgiving than other places I've lived. Also someone name a date time and place so we can all say we're busy and get this over with :).
-
Geek low key?
Geek Shique' is coming back i'll have you know......
If it's good enough for Ferne Cotton, it's good enough for me :p
And Crystal Palace is borderline london....

Well we are covered by the Travelcard Zone system and have a London post code so my accounts we are a London team....I won't be in full GTA uniform though, but it will be marked....
-
Palace did alright IIRC, Bristol up soon corretc?
Sorry got sidetracked, Mid July it is then?, the Thursday (@admrlwlf) thing may put a few people off, but i don't give a monkies, i'll attend on a school night....
Anyone have a set date preference, We're closer to a successful operation than the american division.. :D
-
Going to england would be cool. But, i voted for "Nah, i'm going to Canada/America/Hell in a handbasket.......". Which means "Nah, i'm living in Canada/America/Hell in a handbasket.......". The closest one to say that i'm stuck where i am (you should make that a voting option). :yes:
-
Zim Zala Bim!!
Your wish is my idle constructive time wasting :D
-

Well go with the majority preference. If people would rather Friday or Saturday do that. The bottom line is though just decide on something. This thread just seems to go round and around in circles without achieving anything.
-
Nice option, we should get nuke to vote for that since i can't vote any longer :lol:
EDIT: i misread and though it said i live in alaska instead of i live in america :p
-
I tend to get paid nearer the 21st of each month at the moment.
In the wake of Northern rock though i fear most of my comrades and i will shortly be redundant. So thats moot. So a favourable time for most would be end of the month, I fancy a bit warmer so May 31st ish or June 28th ish. . . . .
Roadhouse or Spreadeagle,
Or a quiet pint?
-
Oh never mind. Since you can't decide on a date count me out. I will now watch with amusement from the sidelines as this thread goes around in circles. Mainly with Dekker proposing vague lists of possible dates to himself. For the rest of eternity.
-
This is indeed getting silly. There are only about 4 of us who fancy going and we all live in London anyway. So why the big song and dance?
How about next Friday (the 29th). Since at least 2 of us (and possibly 3 if IP lives there) are from South East London why not meet up in the Charring Cross/Leicester Square area? It should be easier for us to get to than Camden and if we keep drinking there's always the night bus from Trafalgar Square once the trains/tube stop running.
The Three Greyhounds is pretty easy to find as it's on Charring Cross road just past Shaftbury Ave. We can always move on once we're all gathered. :D
-
Sounds good to me. As long as it isn't that late that I get stuck in London. Last bus back to the "Galatea" leaves Uxbridge at 23.30.
-
I'll be in Spain on holiday guys so have a good one.
-
Uxbridge, whoa, that's "way out west"....... 29th sounds good to me.
Three greyhounds it is.......
I'll PM my mobile to people who ask for it......
-
Hang on, isn't the 29th a Tuesday?
-
The 25th is a bit hectic for me, but i can try to swing by......
-
Hang on, isn't the 29th a Tuesday?
Yeah, read my Calendar wrong. Must have been distracted by Carmen Electra's boobs. :D
25th it is. :D
-
You bad boy! ;)
-
25th,
Big blowout round Docklands, I'll provide first round, and several shots/slammers/tequila/sambuca/etc....
Not too late, PM me for contact info
:p
*phew,
-
Just let me know a time and I'll do me best.

Crossharbour Station -->
Spinnaker,
After 6...............
http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub2826.html (http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub2826.html)
All are welcome ;)

Except Snail :p
-
All are welcome ;)
Can I come?
-
Are you old enough to drink?
Yes of course you can come........ It's my 26th the next day and i don't wanna ruin my night out but i WILL be indulging in shots :D
-
Oh wait. This was on 25th. Damnation. I have a heat transfer exam on Friday. And I'd need to drag my heavy ass all the way to England. I believe I shall skip it. Besides, I was hoping that you'd say "no", so that I could have said "wankers" in retribution. My plan failed.
-
The prefix all applies to everyone unless otherwise stated. :) i'm welcome to attend yankfest 08 i assume. But i don't wanna go :-P
-
I should be there, if I get enough of this blasted assignment written!
-
:eek2: What happened to your post count??
@ Karajorma, you coming dude?
-
I'd be more in the mood for a HLPer's bash than joining an already existing night out to be honest.
Let's organise something in a couple of weeks from now. :)
-
Fags enough. I get redundancy money on the second of may. At least we're closer to accomplishing our goal than the yankee contingent.
-
That would suit me a lot better to be honest as my last assignment is killing me and it's due on Tuesday! 440 words of 3,000 words written. I'd rather face a Demon in The Galatea than write this assignment it's that bad!
-

LMAO :lol:, sorry predictive text is a biatch sometimes.......
How does Friday the ninth sound to everyone?
-
Great a lot better.
-
Great i'm semi-smashed now so it sounds fine. Happy st Georges Day my fellow mofo people. All hail beer.
-
Beer?? :wtf: It's all about the vodka!! :lol: :nod:
-
The 9th should be fine with me.
-
Original venue or the docklands pub? Cos the docklands would probably be off my list after next week. My work bods tend to frequent it. Since i'm off next week i'd like a clean break.
-
Original one.
-
Three Greyhounds?
Cool, i'll recon for my own benefit next week.
-
I'm sure I'll find it OK, it's going to be a messy weekend for me then! FS meet, End of year ball at uni and my first exam, all in the space of 4 days!
-
:bump:
Everyone still up for meeting this Friday in London? I'd suggest The Cambridge rather than The Three Greyhounds as there is some building work outside the latter which makes it hard to see from Charring Cross Road. The Cambridge on the other hand is right next to the Palace Theatre (which is showing the Monty Python show Spamalot BTW) so it's almost impossible to miss. :)
-
Yep, shore leave is booked, and I've got an Elysium coming to take me to Sol. I'll just have to find somewhere to leave it for a few hours...Do you think the Queen will mind if I leave it at Buckingham Palace?
-
if you ever get round to having more than one meet up and you can organise this for the beggining of september , maybe just maybe i can make if not then hell ill think of you as im in the blazing sun sat in my garden in the south of france sipping (crap) french beer ,
or then again maybe you could all come over here!!!!!
-
I'm all set for friday. I'll be wearing a trilby hat. If you need my mobile it's available by request, please text as unknown calls will result in no answer.
-
Oh SMEG!!!!!! My request for shore leave was not recieved by Command, I've been rota-ed on for Friday! Last time I ever use Alpha One to carry a personal important letter! Smegging Hell!
:hopping: :hopping: :mad:
-
Oh pants. I cant believe i put my number on the intermets. I was a bit tipsy in my unemployed bank holiday state. I may not make it. H'll play it by ear for now.
-
Okay, so what time? I'm free from early that afternoon so perhaps we should make this a meet in the pub after work thing. Say 5:30-6pm?
-
The cambridge... Quarter to six........Check and Check.
Who's definitely up for this then?
-
So far, me. :p
Although there are a few other possibles.
-
I'm afraid I can't make it, due to lack of funds and I'm working that day! :(
-

I will stop by.
-
Whoop!
I'm thinking this could be a laugh if Karajorma starts banning people later in the night. Lol.
CEDIT>>
The Cambridge is miles out form Charing Cross station, i just checked.. D'oh....
