London Meet Up - 29 November - Who's In? [Title edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

A few degenerates seem to have the idea that some of us would for some reason once again want to get together for some drink and inane chatter somewhere in London sometime around Christmas.....

So with that in mind the date of 29 November is being paddled around.

and and much fun to be had!

EVERYONE welcome.

Day time drinking you say?
Count me in.

Hearts. Are you watching your own thread?!

It looks as though a few of us are on for a meet-up

?!

Fru Är du lite törstig?

Tempting...

Nej, inte riktigt, NotAnother!

I was just wondering whether Hearts had forgotten she'd started this thread (I've met her a couple of times IRL), or whether this meet-up conversation is happening on Facebook? I'm not on FB!

Fru - I have a sad feeling that this meetup just ain't going to happen .

There is a FB group but it is dead.

It seems incredible to me that there aren't enough people left on Mumsnet to muster up any enthusiasm for a Christmas meetup. Things have changed SO much on here in the past year.

I get that feeling too, Mintyy.

Hearts is still around (I saw her posting last night!). But I know the Big Christmas Meet Ups take some organising. Also, some people have left, some have NCd, some have been banned () and the others have, maybe, given up on the idea altogether

A mini, lunchtime meet up could be fun - I enjoyed the one in May 2013! But, I guess, it needs one of us to 'step up to the plate' to try to organise one.

Lunch time is nice for a meetup isn't it?

Yes! I'm much better with that. One can get home late afternoon/early evening, sober up, have something to eat, go to bed at a sensible time - and then feel fine the next morning.

I'm useless at getting home utterly trollied late at night and feeling like shite the next day.

But, I expect it's my age

Don't know how I missed this before, but can I come too? (If it's on, that is...) Lunchtime, evening, anytime

I'm with you on the age thing honeybunch.

Also, its better for folks coming out of town - not having to stay the night due to pissedness, and not having to share tubes and trains home with all the London office workers who've been on their Christmas do's and drunk 10 too many tequilas.

I'm up for it, but can only do early evening.

(thanks for pointing me this way fru)

Doesn't have to be the 29th if people prefer another day?

I'll try and come depending on where and when (and if you'll have me!)

wibbly - all are welcome on meetups , but it depends on enough people actually wanting to come!

I'm in! But work till 5 so would be an evening visit for me if you are all still going?

You smell lovely, Mintyy, as always

I think we'd be aiming for a Saturday lunchtime? Even if not the 29th Nov?

Yay, hope I can make it!

Oh no, I came on this because I was sure someone else would have organised something and I could just turn up.

Shall we do something for a lunchtime that goes on until 5ish, no matter how small? Then we can all sit quietly on the bus home and pretend we're sober.

I am a crappy organiser, but would it be best to say where we live and where we can travel to, and place we like and take it from there?

I'm Pimlico/Victoria.

I'm SW London, so Pimlico/Victoria is easy for me.

TBH, central (or near to an easy-to-get-to station) is good I guess.

Is there room for a pot?

Yes, of course - we like Pots!

Although we've neither decided on a date nor a venue yet - but all welcome, the more the merrier
