I was thinking of coming down to visit you fine gents in London one weekend over the summer as its been far too long. Anyone up for some drinkies? I was thinking either mid-July or early-August.

Yeah defo! I'll let the others know, see if anyone has plans already.
I'm mostly free around then, so we'll see what the others can do.

I'll be staying over in central London for work reasons again on Monday 13 July and will be asking if anyone's around again for a quick drink then in the evening, but will also consider coming over for a weekend if I'm free.

I'm up for a drink. July would probably suit me better.

I'll need advance notice for any weekend meet up, but it should be ok. I'll keep July 13th free.

Turns out I also need to be in London on the 13th for work so this is working out quite nicely. Shall we make that definite?

Cool! I'm a definite, even if it's just me there on my own. (Prefer company, mind.)
Probably be staying in locality of Strand again, so Wetherspoons on Charing Cross Road would suit nicely.
Was in Westminster today actually, but can't justify staying over unless I have meetings two days running like 13/14 July.

Or maybe I won't...
As I have meetings in London on the morning of Monday 13th and all day Tuesday 14th, I have Monday afternoon to kill.
I've never been to an IMAX before.
There's a 3pm screening of ROTFD.
There's 15 quid gone from my bank account.
Still looking for company in the evening though.

If you find one of those tourist voucher booklets from around leicester square etc they often have 10 or 20% off imax screenings.
I need to make it down to london to have a look, but I think it will be maybe late july for expo or collectormania at the earliest.

Are we still on for Monday then? I'll be in town at about 6:30.

I am, for sure. 6.30 sounds an ideal time.
Usual Wetherspoons on Charing Cross Road? Or James W's shop?

I'm happy to go to Wetherspoons, but thought I'd suggest another couple of options: www.pubs.com/pub_details.cfm?ID=216www.pubs.com/pub_details.cfm?ID=237Not been to either of these, but they sound a bit more characterful. Like I say though, the pyke's fine. I'll be coming after work, so my time of arrival will depend on whether we have a department meeting on Monday. May be earlier than 6.30, but probably not later. |

All three are an easy walk from BFI IMAX and my hotel on the Strand, so I'm not bothered, as long as it's firmly agreed in advance. (I'm still leading a mobile-free lifestyle.)

You mean we have to plan things in advance? Madness!
I think I've been to the Cheshire Cheese before and it was good but I'm inclined to go for the other because I definitely haven't been there and it does food.

Fab. I'll saunter over leisurely after having my senses and other things shattered by The IMAX Experience. Probably be there around 6.30 but will have a book to keep me company if there before everyone else. Nice looking pub.

Thanks to Paul W, James W, James O and Rich for rolling out the welcome mat for me and John.
I'd like try and come over again on a Saturday in a few months time.
