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.

See you @ Victoria, outside WH Smith @ 12.30 (ish), plumstone.

Do I really have to carry a spud?

Fab - thanks!!

Only if you want to - no pressure!!! :)

I will wear my badge :) I made it a tiny little bit cryptic.

Oh, I found the thread.

I'll be there. I'm going straight to the restaurant.

See you tomorrow.

Argh, this fell off my active convos so I'm rather behind. Still coming tomorrow though. I've been in a bit of a mental cocoon for a few weeks as I had a Big Exam on Tuesday but it's all over now and I passed so I'm ready to PARTY!

Is anyone else coming in to Waterloo?

Anyone else, add themselves.

The original booking was for 20 and they still have that in the book. They said the space can seat up to 30.

I'll call them at about 8pm so they know how to lay the table or tables out.

limited- Your organisational skills are very impressive. Thanks for sorting this out - I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

magi - Can I join your root vegetable themed meet up at Victoria? it turns out I'm more of a wuss about going into the restaurant on my own than I had thought

I need to pop into a pub near Paddington cos I left something there on Tuesday. Then I shall head straight for the venue - is it the one linked to upthread? Unless there are pre-meetup drinks happening anywhere else. Is there a FB group?

is it the one linked to upthread? Unless there are pre-meetup drinks happening anywhere else. Is there a FB group?

(a) yes
(b) no
(c) I think we might be in danger of overstating my organisational skills. But I will bask in any praise that's coming my way

Come out of Victoria Station by one of the two side exits onto Wilton Road. You'll see the theatre where Wicked is playing directly opposite.

Turn right. Cross the busy traffic light-controlled junction. Keep walking. You'll see a pub called the Elusive Camel and then a big Sainsburys. Cross the road and About Thyme is just before the next set of traffic lights.

About two minutes from Victoria.

Annie I think Zombie set up a FB group ages ago, before she knew she'd be away. It hasn't really been used, or needed.

I think that Victoria Potato Gang were talking about a quick sharpener on the way.

My money's on The Elusive Camel

oh blondes fancies a stiff one

is gin made out of potato's?????

I love the name of the Victoria Potato Gang. It's a bit Peaky Blinders.

The Elusive Camel is about 30 seconds from Victoria station, so you could have a bit of a sharpener there.

I won't do that because I'm coming from the other direction and am very responsible.

Gin is juniper berries, vodka aka the devils juice is potatoes

Totally off point - I have just worked out how to do icons from phone - computer is impossible but I amine super excited about this so.......

for all

To the point where I clearly can no longer type

Hmm, tempted to join the Victoria gang now.....

Gin, vodka, rye, yum yum. Wine. Lager. Martinis. Am not drinking tonight, saving it all up for tomorrow

Blondes & SBJ we should get Boris Bikes from CX to Victoria!!! not on your life

I'm not sure, are the 3 of us Charing X gals meeting up with the Victoria Potato Gang at, well, Victoria? If not, can we (and everybody else) be honorary Gang members?

limited, I will be getting there 'early doors' still. I'll be leaving home at midday, so I'll probably be at AT around 12.30 ish (trains willing!). I'll wave at the WH Smiths Potato Gang as I swiiiisssssh through the station though!

Welcome hugs to all Victoria potato gang members: founders, new, and honorary - must be carrying a spud (all varieties welcome) at whs tomorrow at 12:30 ish, pre match warm up a definite possible, before on the the main event- currently enjoying a locker room briefing (G&T) xx
