Figured it was time to plan the next one.
How's Friday 21st of August for people? If its not good let me know when
Same time same place as usual...usual suspects invited, plus IPA if he's calmed down
We can talk about the possibility of HLP London BBQ and HLP London Paintball
BTW im aiming to get everyone with titles eventually...
-
Stuck as requested, request removed as not needed ;)
Umm 21st is good, I'm working the Marylebone circuit at the moment. Paintball :sigh: I don't think it'll happen TE sorry :nervous:
-
I'm unlikely to even still be in London by then. :D In fact anything over 2 weeks is looking iffy at this point.
-
Prison? ;)
-
:lol:
Right...Well, i'm on holiday 1st - 15th of August
And as i've said before if you can suggest a better date, then i'm open to suggestions
-
I'm pretty flexible as long as i get about a fortnights notice... :yes:
-
I think I'll just have to skip this one and see you at the first one I get a chance to attend. :)
-
Ahoy! I get an evening named in my honour? Wicked! (do people still say that?)
21st August is good for me.
Dekker - PM us all the new phone number.
Kara - you're not relocating already are you? Damn! We've gotta get a HLP: Kara's Last Stand in first, surely!
-
Yes people still say wicked :) I agree with your signature also. . And pm has been sent. I urge all possible atendees to reply in force in an effort to get Kara to postpone his conviction. (As he's not denied it yet) and come along.
-
Well I know it's short notice but I am free on Friday if people fancy meeting up. :)
-
I'm actually out at west india quay if you fancy meeting up there. . .
-
If no one else is going to turn up that's probably just as easy for me. But if others are coming London would probably be better.
-
I'll give it one day to see who else is up for a meet. I'll still have time to do a priority shift. Edit - by that I mean reallocate my time.
-
I can't make Friday...I'm going on Holiday on Saturday...
Dang...I can make West India Quay easily as well...Northern Line, then DLR
-
That's the worst excuse i've ever heard. . . :p
-
May be lame but its still true...
So i guess i'll see all those who can make it on the 21st
-
I have to decide if that warrants a new topic with title yet. . . ;)
-
I can't make Friday...I'm going on Holiday on Saturday...
You don't have to drink yourself into a stupor you know. :p In fact I almost certainly won't be cause I've got a lot of things I need to get done on Saturday and I won't get any of them done with a hang over.
-
No stupor guaranteed! After the original hardcore tag team known as Karajorma and Dekker staggered to the night bus the last time, and a few times before that. . . I learned :)
EDIT- as mentioned elsewhere, I may be canoodling tomorrow, I say maybe as everyone knows females are subject to last minute mind changes. Expect updates tomorrow.
Default RV is wetherspoons: west india quay. I'd originally planned to be there for eightish, (work commitments) no reason not to turn up earlier though.
-
I'll see if i can make it...
-
Make sure to PM me your phone numbers so that I know you're coming before I leave the house then. :D
-
Oh arse. I'm already booked in for Friday.
21st still on though?
And Dekker - are you working near Marylebone?
-
That I am, :yes: i'm putting girly back to tomorrow night. Which may result in a blowoff on her part, but HLP comes but once every few months, or twice this month; whereas there is absolutely no shortage of female population.
Mac, are you moorgate or am I thinking of someone different?
Also i'll probably get to docklands for half seven to quarter to eight-ish.
Not too late for you other lurkers to pipe up. . Karajorma, I may just make up a mini A4 sign before I finish work.
Eddie T - lost your number Big mac.
-
Great, 21st is still on. You still cool with that, TE?
I'm in Marylebone too, Colonel D. Right next to Regent's Park. We should go grab a burger sometime.
Will PM the mobile.
-
I'm next to the station, harewood ave. Cheers dude. 21st it is.
-
Bump'a'rino. . .
My plan's to be in the wetherspoons west india quay for quarter to seven. That's the plan. My old work mate wes will be in there, he's pretty down with most cool stuff. Knows nil about hard light though :)
Edit :3
I may miss calls this afternoon due to meetings but rest assured I AM attending.
-
I can make tonight, but i'll have to leave before the tubes finish
21st is still on and i'm calling that the official part IX
Tonight i think will be 8.5 - Shadows of HLP
Oh incidentially, by the 21st i hope to have either finshed and have ready for release or have actually released my Psi-Corps ships pack for TBP
-
I should be there by 7:30-8:00 can i have directions though...
-
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=E14%204AL
That should help TE.
My plan's to be in the wetherspoons west india quay for quarter to seven.
Sounds good to me, see you there. :)
-
Thanks
-
I am NOT going clubbing though :p
-
My feet still ache from walking around London on Tuesday so I'm not either. :p
-
We always say that at this point of the meet though don't we :rolleyes: signs finished btw. .
-
Why was I not informed of this earlier!!!! I am the commander of a capital ship and I am the last to know!!?
I will inform you of my availability on 21st as and when I know.
-
Check more often admiral wolf :p just so everyone knows, this was karajormas last hlp london for at least a year. . So . . . . . . . . .
-
Terran Emperor plus misses emprerss......
Enjoy....
Like lady and the tramp, but without meatballs... lolllage
:mad:

It looks like the missus, AKA Dark Helmet (not sure she knows she's been referred to as that, and I don't think she's seen Spaceballs either), will be joining us, so that makes:
Admiral Wolf (?)
Dark Helmet
Dekker
McCall
Terran Emperor
Not a bad showing, especially if AW can make it. Shame about Kara though.
Any of our international friends in London that weekend?
-
Terran Eperor and Karajorma enjoy some grog :)
[attachment deleted by Tolwyn]
-
My apologies gents, I am working from 13:00 til 20:24 on Friday. Blasted people who travel by train!!!
-
Those are some pretty strange hours.
-
Still at the theme park Wolfy? Or is the Galatae out of whack?
EDIT-- Time to start planning 8.75 the <insert starwars cliche> Mccall what's the intention?
-
No I've since left the theme park and am now working on the railway selling tickets, (No I'm not one of the ones on strike).
The 13:00-20:24 is not a typo. We work to 37 hour weeks, 5 out of 7 days and so 5 x 7h24m =37hours. I just find it at times easier to round it up to the next 15 minutes at times.
-
Hey Dekker.
HLP 8.75 is confirmed as Friday night, somewhere in the Marylebone area. Dark Helmet to make special guest appearance, without the mini Darth Vader outfit though.
-

Are you working somewhere far from London that night? Otherwise getting out about 8:30 isn't too bad. We'd still be around for quite a bit.
-
Mac just name the place :yes:
Wolf, understandable if Milton Keynes is too far.
I think this'll be a good oppertunity to discuss a wtfbbq :)
-
Sure thing.
Provisionally, could we start with The Green Man, next to Great Portland St tube? The missus would know where to find us that way.
-
No provisions necessary. . The green man it is. :yes: I may need food by that time of day in all honesty.
-
Cool. They do okay food.
What time can you get there?
-
Was in negotiations at work. I raised the issue of a days+ pay being owed, they will probably let me out before three, maybe four. I reckon three. :) i'll text ya when I know . .
Whoop whoop UK 8.75, rest of world. . . . . . Debatable.
-
Okay, don't go running out too early. I finish at 5!
-
It'll gimme time for a triple S. :yes:
-
Finished work. Gonna grab a snack. Then navigate to pub :)
-
Ah good to be back in the city.
So how did Friday go
and are we still up for this Friday...
PS sorry about the poor spelling and gramma, the keyboard im using is a bit randomly wired
-
:lol: We're most definitley up for it. Barbecue is in the works too..
-
I was thinking that we should have a BBQ when Karajorma returns from china
-
In a year? The world could blow up / I could get hit by an omnibus by then. We'll talk more friday, where'd you want to meet? Time should be negotiable as far as work goes.
-
Are we just pubbing, or are we gonna go eat too?
-
I'm always hungry, Burger King?
I like classy establishments.
-
May as well get some plans layed down.
Where, when?
Terran emp, this is your show, so what do you have in mind?
Somewhere happening and hip?
-
I figure what we normally do. Meet in the Cambridge then make plans from there
-
:rolleyes: Okey dokey :nod: ;)

:rolleyes: Okey dokey :nod: ;)
First time ive been eyerolled on this forum

:rolleyes: Okey dokey :nod: ;)
First time ive been eyerolled on this forum
:rolleyes: can i get a hat-trick?
-
:rolleyes:
(I was feeling left out)
-
Gah i missed it. i could've hat-tricked him..
So cambridge, 6-6:30?
-
Yep, then we make plans from there...
-
Somewhere with a girl or two to practice on would be nice :)
-
:lol:
...hmmm...do you think we could persuade IPA to turn up to one the next meetings, since Karajorma's abroad?
-
You pm him or go through facebook to talk him into it. I'm all gravy right now.
-
Somewhere with a girl or two to practice on would be nice :)
Oh yeah, something else that'd be nice is a pool table.. I've not had a chance to play pool on our nights out yet. And i always play on a friday night.
That gives you two days to research it Terran Emperor :yes:
Let me know ;7
-
Gents....
I may be able to come after all, however it's likely that I won't be there until 9 at the earliest, (depends if a nice Virgin conductor will let me on for free...). If I am able to come I will need to know the following:
A. Where will you be come 21.00-21.30?
B. How do I get there?
My number is Classified Level Rho. Unauthorised access is punishible under the GTVA Security Act, Deneb Convention, Section 21.3.5 for reference.
Galatea Out.
-
Noted and passed on to relevant parties.
9'ish is down to Terran Emperor finding somewhere with a pool table:D
-
Somewhere with a girl or two to practice on would be nice :)
I suppose you could practice on Dark Helmet...
-
Not that sort of night lol. . . Weird lol.
-
:wakka:
well, i know what ill be doing whilst i'm in the area before hand...
As for Ookami-daishou... (transAdmiral Wolf)
...how are you getting in to london? Just trying to figure out which Tube Station to meet you at...
or... we could be in the Cambridge 21:00-21:30. You already know how to get there...
Tell you what, give Dekker a ring* when you get into London
*(i dont have my phone with me or know its number so i cant PM it)
-
Bless you jimmy, after throwing up on my legi. I managed to hijack a pushbike to charing cross. Bless you and admiral wolf. Next time more booze and less poultry.
-
Eh?
Sounds like I missed a good night. Believe me, I was tempted to fly back for it. Then again, Friday night in the bars round here isn't so bad either. :p
-
K. It was good before I started on wine, aka Dekkeronite.
I'll post pictures lateo s . .nicki.
Once pi cottimb general c .i an skitt his friend. Damn wine. . Gay,
Fannit less drink than ours night out dancin k. Just cold air plus por circumstans. Fk. It.
-
You're still drinking? :D It's 3am! Did you manage to go on to a club then without me dragging everyone off to one? :p
-
Can anyone translate from drunkese? :lol:
-
Can anyone translate from drunkese? :lol:
Yes I speak it quite fluently but he's either using an alien dialect or a British drunkese accent while typing.
-
Nope, it's just the art of frickin sony predictive text. While drunk I think I can run on manual text entry for the sake of speed. As to what I said. . Who knows, i've got no bloody clue. Lul. . . Master drunk is a cool title :(
-
I'll remember this for next time: no lager, just get straight onto the White Zinfandel and let Dekker have it! It's a bit less manly than a mojito though.
Mind you, TE was pretty leathered too. I hope the excitement wasn't too much for him. Are you still with us, TE?
And Wolfy - thanks for making it down.
Glad to see the "Liberals bite ass" thread has been shut down before it went too far. We set out with a drunken hypthosis, and man did we get it proved. Not the most scientific approach of course, but entertaining. Town hall meetings? Assault rifles? Some folks must have a strange idea of life in Blighty. Can't really see some stuffy Home Counties Tory type wandering into the local council office with an Armalite myself. They usually only get angry enough to write a snotty letter to the Telegraph.
Next stop - HLP London X. And who knows... HLP BBQ 1 may be just around the corner!
Dekker - one last thought for the day: cute paper chick on the way down Tottenham Court Road - nice!
-

Sausage :yes:
Are you still with us, TE?
God i hope so :nervous: I got him onto the tube heading (i think) towards wimbledon......
-
He's a naughty, naughty boy. I'da slapped his hand if I hadn't been so amused! :lol:
Do drop in and let us know you didn't kark it from alcohol poisoning or a cardiac won't you, TE?
-
He's a naughty, naughty boy. I'da slapped his hand if I hadn't been so amused! :lol:
Pictures are available, but i need your e-mail don't i :lol:
-
Funniest moment of the night had to be Dekker throwing his keys at a blonde girl in a grey top just so he'd have to bend down to arse level!
I leave you with these four words...**** YOU JACK RABBIT!
-
I really hate wine lol.
-
Still here...Damn hangover until yesterday evening.
The first thing i can remember after 10:30 is sitting at some bus stop at...I have no idea where...around 4:35-4:45 somewhere on the 423 (432?) bus route to Brixton. The first place that i remember being where i atcually knew where i was was Brixton about 5:15 ... so thats a good 5-6 hours that i cant remember...scary :shaking:
GOLDEN RULE for next time - NO CIDER.
When i go out drinking with friends i want the "good buzz". Beer, Sake (Japanese Rice wine), Smirnoff Ice/WKD, JD&Coke all give me that good buzz. Cider on the other hand leave me in a walking coma
one more thing can Wolf please explain what he ment with his parting words
-
Thank god lol.
