Sorry to do this, but in response to the thread title.. everyone and their grandmother seem to spell this wrong.

This'd be the fourteenth time we've met as an HLP mob. When it kicks off. :D
 
Meanwhile . . . . . . . . . . . Cough washington/USA cough. Zero. Cough. :p
 
 
 
The next fortnight is EXTREMELY social. I have a private Ministry of Sound function, a pumpkin party, thorpe park fright night, Halloween fancy dress, Butlins 60's party, bonfire night beer bonfire bash and fireworks BBQ. :sigh:
 
 
Dunno if I'll have the cash to make it on top of buying xmas pressies for das familie.

Still alive here. Sorry for my absence - Real Life sucks. Still no luck on the job front...

Dek, Don't worry about not having much cash. I actually owe two rounds (at least) from the BBQ...So I'll probably be doing most of the buying that night

1st round for your help with my "bodybag"

2nd round for McCall letting me sort out my Xbox live/PS Network things

3rd Round My round anyway, but i'm sure you guys can thing of something that I would owe a round for.

Post by: McCall on November 06, 2010, 07:36:59 am
No need to worry about rounds, fella. It all works out in the end anyway.

My weekends are starting to busy up, so a weeknight post-workie might be better. Back end of month or early Dec.

OK, I fly into London on the 26th of June, 2011, at 4 in the afternoon. That's a Sunday, but I have no doubt London will keep me busy untiol at least the following weekend, so a meetup on the 1st/2nd would be great.
Title: Re: HLP London XII: - 12A (Adult supervision required (definitely))

Last Time we had someone over from abroad - Who wasn't Karajorma - I got left in the lurch...Thohgh to be fair, Dek had already cried out and MC a real good reason which I found out about literally last minute.

1st and 2nd of what month? I am going to be flying out to the UK on the 15th of May and am returning on the 6th of June. So I would love to attend if possible. I am going to be spending time with my Grandparents in Aylesbury and I don't know what plans they have for me, so nothing is final (Sorry Dekker ;)).

I'll still be in China then. I'll be able to turn up for a meeting some time in late July/early August though as I'm spending a couple of weeks back in the UK over the summer. I'm definitely up for a meeting then.

I'll give exact dates once I have them.

Hell yeah I'm still coming... though my flight over is via iceland, so if this volcano stays active, it might affect things on my end, but I've got a week in London pre-meetup,so I can't see myself being delayed that long.

I'm not getting hammered. . . . .  Or,  . . .  Am I?
 
Karaoke is a start point. Club and potential boom boom is a potential end point?
 
 
With girls I mean.

Post by: Black Wolf on June 01, 2011, 07:00:46 pm
FWIW, my night in Sacramento ended American Pie 3 style (GE had gone home by that point, I was with my Aussie mate), and there were more (straight) potential boom-boomers in there than anywhere else we went all night. So I'm not opposed.

Post by: Redstreblo on June 02, 2011, 05:09:19 am
Well I am upset at not being able to attend  :( because I will not be here in July. AND I lost internet access as soon as I left the USA so I wouldn't have been able to plan a meeting with anybody anyways. On top of not being able to meet up with everyone in July I also missed Black Wolf in Sacramento :( . I am REALLY upset about this, but I think everybody will meet up again at some point, so all hope isn't lost. My time in the UK was fun though, so I am happy about that and I got to see south Wales, which I haven't seen before and visited some castles. I look forward to future visits and future opportunities to meet people from HLP.

Just to let you know, the London Underground are planning a strike till 9pm on July 1st...

But then, they haven't had any strikes this year, so they probably thought they were about due their yearly whinge.

Post by: terran_emperor on June 29, 2011, 01:27:44 pm
Damn...Sorry for being AWOL guys... Life and Jobhunting Sucks...

Okay. Here's the plan

17:00-18:00 Meet for Drinks in the Cambridge

~20:00 We break for Dinner. Since Dek wants Karaoke, the plan  is to go to that place down the road.

Then after dinner we wing it.

But I have 2 questions:

1) Black Wolf - Do you know how to get to The Cambridge?

2) @ Everybody - Do you guys want to meet up earlier and see Transformers 3?

Basically it's on what used to be Cambridge Circus. Just head north up Charing Cross Road from the tube station until you see the crossroads with Shaftsbury Avenue. It's just north of whatever big theatre is there.

Well, strictly speaking it's only two trains, one to Liverpool Street and one to Charing Cross, which is due to arrive at 6:50pm, it's more the travelling time than anything else, I'll be heading out in a few minutes, so I intend to be there, but if I don't make it by 7:30 assume I've got lost or something ;)

That went well... Victoria line was closed, finally got to Charing Croos only to spend over an hour wandering around looking for the place :(

Alas no, I headed back home. I tried to get online with my phone, but it is as old and archaic as its owner :(
