Post by: terran_emperor on March 22, 2009, 11:41:57 am: after Friday's somewhat Dekkerless "return of the Dekker" where it was just me and Karajorma, if decided to see who was up for this?

I'll find out who wants to show up then we can haggle over the date.

[Edit] Here's the proposed Cast list

Myself
Karajorma
Colonol Dekker
IPAndrews (When his Monkyed period ends) <Still bitter over the recent TBP incident
McCall
Admiral Wolf... (i'm not holding out much hope on this)?
Flipside (He may be Tee-Total but he can still have Coke or Pepsi to be sober)

and Special Guest Star if we can arange it

Galemp

[Edit 2]
Here's the proposed dates for this get together.

Friday 17th April
Saturday 18th April

Friday 24th April

Post by: karajorma on March 30, 2009, 12:46:23 pm: Well you need to set a date before I'll know if I'm free.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: terran_emperor on March 30, 2009, 01:18:45 pm: Well, then, i need to know when Galemp will be over here.

Once i know that, we can try to arrange it for then, if that doesn't work out, then sometime over Easter prehaps..

Post by: Galemp on March 30, 2009, 06:47:02 pm: How often do you folks get together, anyway?
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: karajorma on March 30, 2009, 06:51:07 pm: Every couple of months. But I doubt the last one counts since there were only a couple of us.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: terran_emperor on April 03, 2009, 09:08:33 am: Yeah, just me and Karajorma...

...Anyway ive put up some dates let me know which of them you guys can make it for
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: Galemp on April 03, 2009, 10:55:02 am: OK, thanks.

Right now I am waiting for my unemployment insurance check to come in, and for the bank to mail me my new credit card. Once those come in, I'll buy my ticket (a week in advance, for the best airfares) and then will be flying probably to LHR. Thus, I will almost certainly be in Britain the weekend of the 17-18. Later than that I can't say as I'll probably be trekking around the continent.

Any times will do, but I'll have to get to the venue (where is it?) from Aylesbury, likely by train.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: karajorma on April 03, 2009, 11:39:24 am: We traditionally meet at The Cambridge which is a pub on Charring Cross Road near Shaftsbury Avenue. It's fairly central and pretty hard to miss.

I took a quick look at the Transport for London website (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/) and they say that you can take a train from the station direct to Marylebone and from there it's pretty easy to get to Tottenham Court Road or Leicester Square buy underground.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: Galemp on April 04, 2009, 02:50:36 pm: Woohoo! It is ON. I've just booked my flight and bought my Eurail pass.

I will be arriving in Heathrow on Sunday the 12th (Easter Sunday) and helping out my grandparents for that week. Basically I'll be able to get to London anytime you folks are getting together, then take the train to Paris from the pub. All I need to know is when I should be at The Cambridge.

From Paris I'll spend three weeks trekking to Frankfurt, Munich, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Brussels, then back to London to catch my flight out on May 13. I know there's a couple German HLP members here, anyone up for a visit?

Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: terran_emperor on April 05, 2009, 12:37:24 pm: Well, meeting time is 6:00pm (18:00) as per usual. but will that be Friday 17th or Saturday 18th?

Besides i still need to hear back from the others...

@FUBAR...
Dang and it would have been nice to see Carl in person as well.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: Galemp on April 05, 2009, 02:43:22 pm: I dunno if this is a bit much to ask, but... would anyone be willing to shack me up for that night? I can think of nothing better than spending the evening at the pub with you folks, spending the night in London, spending the morning wandering around the city, then taking the train to Paris in the evening. I'll even throw in free FRED / Blender lessons. Otherwise I'll just stay in a hostel.

Post by: admiral_wolf on April 06, 2009, 10:55:16 am: Friday is better for me, I'll just have to save my wages.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: terran_emperor on April 06, 2009, 01:06:00 pm: Okay Friday it shall be unless there are any mass objections.

Thats Karajorma and the Wolfman in...

IPA is still ticked off from the recent fallout over TBP so wont becoming.

Still need to hear back from McCall and Dekker...

As for flipside - i dont hold out much hope...but he could still show up to be sociable...(he can drink coke or lemonade..since he's Tee-Total)
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: admiral_wolf on April 06, 2009, 07:01:39 pm: A tee-total Dekker? I know I've never met the man, but surely his drinking is compulsory, given his legendary drunken antics!

I was refering to Flipside - he lives in London... Flipside is Tee-Total...But he could still come along and drink coke or lemonade to be sociable...

Having re-read your message, I appear to have misread it on a Sathani scale! I apologise.

Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: admiral_wolf on April 08, 2009, 04:35:48 pm: Just one small question that Karajorma may have answered...what is the closest Underground station?
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: terran_emperor on April 14, 2009, 10:27:55 am: Tottenham Court Road...on the Northen and Central Lines...

Still havent heard from Dekker or McCall yet...
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: admiral_wolf on April 14, 2009, 11:59:02 am: I may not be there dead on 6 as I may have GTA work in MK til around 5ish, but I will bloody well turn up.
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: terran_emperor on April 14, 2009, 12:13:31 pm: I'll be wearing either a Red fleece or green jacket...just so you and Galemp can find me
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker (Hopefully)
Post by: admiral_wolf on April 14, 2009, 04:09:34 pm: Cheers that'll help. You'll know who I am when you see me....

Post by: Colonol Dekker on April 15, 2009, 09:52:07 am: When an Elysium / Hermes flattens a homeless beggar and a sqaud of GTA MArines cclears a path to the Bar that'll prbably clinch it.

Just confirming attendance :D

Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker V2 electric boogaloo
Post by: terran_emperor on April 15, 2009, 01:26:42 pm: I've also got a message from McCall - who will be there on Friday.

And ive not heard a peep from Flipside...So I'l assume he's not coming
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker V2 electric boogaloo
Post by: admiral_wolf on April 15, 2009, 04:02:29 pm: Who's bringing a camera then?
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker V2 electric boogaloo
Post by: Galemp on April 17, 2009, 05:22:10 am: I am.

Leaving Aylesbury now, will see you about 5:30 then. I'll be the screamingly obvious tourist with the red windbreaker and huge backpack.

Also, there's pics of me in the HLP Carl thread. See you there!

Post by: admiral_wolf on April 17, 2009, 05:44:38 pm: I had a great time guys, will have to do it again soon. Although I think next time I'll wear a better coat!

Just wish I had realised what pose I was pulling in the photo.

Also, this is for Dekker: http://www.indrani.net/index.php?q=2006/03/breast_milk_cheese

Let me guess who's who...

Uhh, the guy to the back and left is Dekker, and the guy wearing the GTA shirt is Galemp?
Title: Re: HLP London Part VII: The Real Return of the Dekker V2 electric boogaloo
Post by: terran_emperor on April 18, 2009, 11:55:02 am: Actually Dekker is taking the picture but your right about Galemp being in the GTA logo tea shirt.

I dont think i need to tell you who's wearing the GTD Galatea T-shirt...

but carry on guessing

Oh BTW, I will be seeing DaBrain next week. Read about it on the FSPort Forum's sticky post if you're interested.

Post by: karajorma on April 19, 2009, 03:45:39 am: Nah. It wasn't too bad. To be honest I think I should have a few drinks before doing exercise in the future. It really stops it being so boring. :D
