I'd like to come along and imbibe on behalf of those who can't.

Choice of venue isn't an issue, nor is date. Lunchtime may be difficult, if I'm working (freelance + rolling contract = no idea until the end of this week).

Looking forward to meeting everyone.  

As it happens, Obiter (Brian) will be over on the 5th to attend a work event, and is crashing on my floor.  So could also drag him along for a wee drinkie.

Hi,

given the lack of a decision, and time ticking on, shall I suggest:

the 5th
5.00pm
the museum tavern

unless anyone want to change it?

Cheers,
malcolm

Yep,

I'm in. Few beers, chat, few more beers, etc ...

I'm flying in to Stansted early doors, I've a CPD lecture at the College of Obs & Gynae in the avo. I had toyed with the idea of heading to Griffin Park to watch Brentford  (16 games without a win) being humiliated once again by Doncaster Rovers, but an Acaeum meet would be great.

Cheers.

Well, I will look out for you.  

I will drag Brian (Obiter) along and we will be there - that is at the Museum Tavern, right up near the front of the British Museum - from about 5.30ish

Hopefully see lawrenson, Tmesis and maybe a few others there as well.

My Mobile No. is 07979 475291 and it will be on all day.

Welcome to the land of poetry, literature and poor dental hygiene!

Steven.

damn.....

i would have popped down as well. i only noticed that it was today in like a few hours....no feckin chance of me getting to london in that time.

and its my birthday too

ah well never mind!

Al

You are kidding me! The guy I just met, with the really affable disposition, with the laptop full of mouthwatering laptop-laden glimpses of future Greyhawk goodness, the guy who drank mineral water all evening, it was his birthday today?

Edit: Okay, there might be more than one person with a birthday today (congrats, Al) and I might have had too much to drink, but the rest of the email stands...

Damn it!

Okay, for the record, I really enjoyed meeting everyone this evening but, Allan, if you're checking in to the forum while you're here, we owe you one. I know a few excellent restaurants and it would be a pleasure (or honour or whatever word you'd like to insert here along those lines) to drag you, kicking and screaming if necessary, with all your UK folks, along for a meal, to one of these places, before it's too late.

John, I'd be happy to accommodate you for the duration, if there's any way you can make it down. Just pm me and it's sorted. That offer extends to any member who can get over here while Allan's in the vicinity. (I have a decent-sized flat.)

It was great to meet Brian, Shaun (Shawn? Sean?), Steven, and Malcolm last night.  Thanks for the fun discussions, the good cheer, and the welcome to London

My wife and I would be happy to join the crew, if possible.  What/where did you have in mind?
