Title: HLP London Part VI - Return of the Dekker. (sorry for the Lateness)
Post by: terran_emperor on January 23, 2009, 01:43:57 am

Sorry this is so late, but I've been a bit busy.

But...HLP London part VI...
I was thinking 13th of Febuary (a Friday :nervous:). I'll be in town then...Anyone else up for it?

Though if anyone wants to suggest a better date that's fine by me.

Meeting place will be The Cambridge as usual. Have to check my timetable but 6:00-7:00 pm should be fine.

"But will the Dekker return by then, tune in next week to find out!"

Seriously, he's been MIA for a while now!

Feburary 14 = valentine's day. There lies your problem.

...Yes...
So any ideas for a better date?

I say we  put admiral_wolf on the spot and let him name the date. :p

That is an idea, but right now, I have no job and zilch money.  As soon as I resolve that minor issue, I will do my utmost to come to/arrange a meet.  I have even planned a special surprise for my debut.

...I'm guessing it will be one of 4 things
1) You show up cos-playing as your namesake
2) You show up with Polpolion
3) You show up with Carl
4) You actually show up (Hey, we have been trying to get you to come to these things for a while ;) )

Anyone think we can persuade Flipside to show?

Okay now Dekker's (finally) shown up again. Lets start thinking about this.

Lol - it will now truely be the "Return of the Dekker" since he missed part V and his recent AWOLness

As Karajorma said We're putting Admiral Wolf on the spot to name the date.

PS can we sticky this thread?

Unless I get a job, it's not happening soon.  I am trying to sort something out.

Isn't Dekker supposed to be dead by now?

Title: Re: HLP London Part VI - Return of the Dekker. (sorry for the Lateness)
Post by: terran_emperor on February 23, 2009, 01:08:11 am

he posted just on Friday. Besides the "Memorial for Dekker" Issue was resolved ages ago long before i first met him...Otherwise that means that Me and the other HLP Londoners were talking to a Zombie when we met him

Any chance for a meetup sometime between the 1st and the 7th? I could be in London quickly.

Ah-ha! Was wondering when the next meet-up would be.

Post by: terran_emperor on March 03, 2009, 05:10:52 am

Okay, pending Admiral Wolf's announcement...

I'll set an alternative date for Friday 20th March if thats alright...

This will be the date we'll use if Wolf cant make it.

Bugger. Can't do 20th-27th March.

Post by: terran_emperor on March 04, 2009, 09:27:56 am

Well, i am open to suggestions of better dates...I'm still waiting for Wolf to get back to me about his developments and the Colonol is AWOL again

The job front did not go well.  "Sales and Marketing" turned out to be asking people on their doorstep to sign up to donating money to charities on direct debit.  So I'm still on the job market.

ahh...Well...Why not show up just to meet everyone. like i said im sure we'd be willing to accept an IOU for drinks

we still need Dekker to show. we cant have part VI as "Return of the Dekker" without him.

I'll try, but you must understand it's the cost of travel from MK to London, not the drinks that's concerning me at the moment.  I'll do everything I can for the 20th.  Hopefully todays applications will prove fruitful.

GTD Galatea Quarterdeck signing off.

I should be able to make it on the 20th. But I'm willing to reschedule.

Post by: Colonol Dekker on March 06, 2009, 05:05:15 am

BEER>!?!?!?!

I missed V when was V ?

20th of March?

07506430086 you say?

I may have some meagre funds for the 20th, but i doubt it'll be woirth while me on tap water is like a bently running on chip fat instead of petrol  :lol:

I'll check again when i can... For now thougfh assume non-attendance.

Title: Re: HLP London Part VI - Return of the Dekker. (sorry for the Lateness)
Post by: McCall on March 06, 2009, 07:21:45 am

Would the funding situation improve on a later but not-too-distant date?

Post by: terran_emperor on March 08, 2009, 07:16:59 pm

Well, like i said i'm willing to reschedule. If the 20th is not good, does anyone have a better date?

BTW Dekker i distictly remember that you organized part V last november or early deccember calling it "Terran Emperor strikes back" to my great amusement. You then had to cry "out" for whatever reason. Hence my name for part VI

I've got nothing booked in April so far, so that's good for me. Is that gonna help anyone's finances to do it then?

Slim chance i could make it, but after travel expense, i'd believe it not worth it. £15 is not a friday night out.  :ick:

I'm not too proud to accept IOU's i just have no idea when paying back would be a probable event. And ithe guilt.........the guilt tears me up inside.  :D

Have fun guys! Hopefully catch you next time... and maybe Dekker really will return in that episode...

Post by: karajorma on March 20, 2009, 09:02:44 am

Looks like it's just you and me then Terran Emperor + Dekker if he shows up.

6PM in The Cambridge as per usual. If the numbers aren't enough to make it worth it, catch me before 4pm.

Title: Re: HLP London Part VI - Return of the Dekker. (sorry for the Lateness)
Post by: terran_emperor on March 20, 2009, 11:06:19 am

I figure its worth it as long as someone other than myself shows up.  :D

And if Dekker doesnt turn up then 20th April... or the nearest friday to that will be HLP London VII: True Return of the Dekker...
