Title: HLP London - Part II
Post by: karajorma on June 02, 2008, 03:15:48 pm
Those of us who enjoyed a little drink up London last month are thinking of getting together again for more of the same. Right now we're thinking of an after work drink on a Thursday (probably the 12th). Anyone else feeling up to joining in?

So the three founders are flagged as attendees. Any chance the grand Admiral_Wolfe can park the Galatea over liecester square and join in this time?

Title: Re: HLP London - Part II
Post by: karajorma on June 03, 2008, 03:26:26 am
I'm wondering whether it's the burgers or the cute waitress you're more interested in? :D
Title: Re: HLP London - Part II
Post by: Colonol Dekker on June 03, 2008, 05:12:47 am
Heck I'm a flirt. Wherever i go, there's no such thing as bad practice. :yes: Plus the cheese and bacon burgers were nearly as good as burger kings.

I think I'm going to have to call a rain-check, unfortunately, my Grandmother on my mothers side died in her sleep last night.

It's not unexpected, she's been on a constant slide down since Grandad died a few years ago, but it means that the next few days are going to be busy.

Hopefully we can sort something out at later date and I can finally get to meet you guys :)

I'll make sure I can make it.

The weirdest part is, on the day she went into hospital three weeks ago, she said to my Mum 'Bill's waiting for me.' (My Grandad was Bill).

She died on his Birthday.

ooh, spooky....Something kinda like that happened to me. When My Grandad died in 99, his funeral was on my 11th birthday... :(

I'll probabaly be there about six.ish. I've got IPA's phone number. (Thank god i forget that fact when i get "squiffy") so if i run late i can let people know.
When my grandad took a major drop in health due to cancer i got a call while i was on exercise in Glasgow by the Faslane sub base. I got flown back the next day even though i was halfway through it. Out of my Sergeant Majors own pocket. They were both great blokes :(
My phone may suffer credit death before tomorrow so i'll see you guys there :D

Wish I could come guys, but the presence of the MTD Auriga in close proximity to the Galatea means that I will have to miss this one again!

I will endevour to come to the next one, even if I have to get Ad. Helen, "Sexy" Shima to take control...May have to pull a favour or two though...

The Galatea was destroyed 34 years before Derelict.

Well if he can go back in time he can go forward.

But how is the Auriga in 2008?
