Right, let's plan...

As I recall the last one was near Victoria at Noura to accommodate all the travel connections. Shall we rekindle that plan?

Let's do a vote for Friday's in Aug.

To ease your pain I have started the thread for you. Now go get a glass of vine and start talking typing. Space Rocket Blasts Off

Seriously, good luck. The task at hand is not a fun one.

Yay! Will look forward to finally meeting you in person. How exciting two people I haven't met b efore but have know on here for ages. (I suppose it's really pathetic that I'm excited about this )

Oh, the table is actually booked for 8, so if anyone else wants to jump in here at the last minute there is room for one more.

why thank you, an. the feeling is mutual i have met page62 and legalalien before so will look forward to meeting them again and everyone else for the first time

Page62 · 28/08/2008 09:05

Hi Guys,
I'm right in thinking this is tomorrow night at Noura in Victoria, right?
Everyone still on for this?
Hope to see you all!

legalalien · 28/08/2008 09:30

yep, I'm still up for it - 7pm? Jura, let me know what time you're leaving the wharf (as always I will be chomping at the bit to get out of here. think we are the only ones out here?)

squiffy · 28/08/2008 10:29

I feel like tigger. Have been cooped up for what seems like decades trying to finish my research and hand it in, and I can just smell the freedom... cannot wait to walk out of the LSE for the last time tomorrow.....

of course, if newspaper reports are to be believed, I will have appx 48 hours of freedom, before my bank takes over another bank, and I end up drowning in the work that that brings with it.

So timing of meet-up really couldn't be better. Last meal of the condemned man and all that...

legalalien · 28/08/2008 11:22

yes, I thought of you when I read about that in City am this morning.

what is it that tiggers drink - extract of malt? first round on me.

I am looking forward to this too. A bit weird that I'm meeting up with new nanny to take her home with me. I wonder if she will be sober and think I'm an irresponsible drunk???

(guess you've all caught the story that her current employer gave her 2 days to get out and so she's coming home with me on Friday night)

I think I'll bugger off early and go shopping... Selfridges maybe. Haven't been there in ages.

I mean bugger off from work early, not from dinner.

cheeky drink sounds good to me (no surprise there) - have no idea of bars etc in the area though so happy to go with anyone's suggestions....

Thread on a couple of twits...

MrsSchadenfreude · 28/08/2008 22:55

AN, if you all meet up early for drinks, could you text me? I am having a swift one with a friend in St James's and plan to stagger walk across the park to Noura after that, but could meet you earlier.

If I get too pissed have an extra drink with friend will see you at 7 as planned.

I'm not going for the drink(s). I'm going for I-hate-my-job-retail-therapy. But, should I find myself standing in a bar with a drink in hand, I will text you.

Jura/LA, might be an idea to type on here where you are going so other can join (including me if shopping goes well).

to clarify, which NOURA is it we're going to again? i looked at the website, and there's so many of them! (Belgravia, Piccadilly, Mayfair...etc)
