It's been a bit of a shit year, so I'm not celebrating my 30th as I'd originally planned. But I would like to celebrate with some of the lovely QOTW'rs who I've spoken to and have helped keep me relatively sane this year.

Here is where we shall be going...

Horse and groom on Great Portland Street

fuck shit up the best you never had

I'll be there!

Also, I don't believe you're going to be 30! ;)

Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!

The quaint olde towne of London village it is. So that way I can easily get home by tube or night bus - Just found out the night bus stops right outside my flat :)

fuck shit up the best you never had

In our prime, you and I!

Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!

a lot more now than I was 10 years ago, so I guess that's something to be said for getting old.

fuck shit up the best you never had

EDIT: Tentatively has now officially become definitely.

But I should be there.

We shall see...

Cawl

is London. Not something else.

Madam Marlboro wonders if you've found her yet

but now I live here it doesn't seem so big, so I refer to it as a village :)

fuck shit up the best you never had

your 30, you look way younger than that.

Anyhoo, I don't yet have plans for that night, so I shall be glad to attend.

Yep, I'll be 30 in November. Now can you see why I get fucked off when people ask me for ID...Nothing to do with the fact that I'm rubbish at remembering to carry any with me ,)

fuck shit up the best you never had

but I won't oficially sign up at the mo.... HOPE to be there :-)

Rotating Wobbly Hat That's not a banana. THIS is a banana.

Tentatively... if anyone's coming down the M1 I'd gladly share fuel costs... or I'll find a way.

Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs

Hmmm, could be worth a look I think? Would be good to see RTW there!

jim_bob can herd cats.

Starting to make plans now.

Has there been any thoughts as to where this bash will be? I don't want to go booking a hotel that's on the wrong side of the city or something :)

The Yorkshire Grey worked very well for spakkaman's bash at the weekend.

rubberduck should only be used after consulting with your GP

in london considerably earlier than 8pm, but then thats not much help to anyone really

I'll be around from about 6 depending upon the final venue choice.

I have a half day so might do a little bumble beforehand but yeah 6ish is reasonable for me, will probably have to chip off before 11 so thats good for me sir

Yep, the Yorkshire Grey seemed to work quite well last time (if I do say so myself) but it might be a bit busier on a Friday.

Said that it was "fucking manic" on the Friday.

Or she might have called me a "Fucking Maniac".
I can't quite remember...

Cawl

Considering the drinks you were ordering I suspect it was option B!

That may be true...
Red Diesel is the drink choice of Champions though.

Cawl

I'd thought about coming down to London to see the Bacon exhibition...

I'm tempted to factor this into my trip.

Where's that on?

That's Saturday morning sorted then.

it's a really good exhibition. Try to get there as early as possible though, it gets rammed very quickly.

Can anyone tell me which part of London you are thinking of meeting in?

it's here
It's a fairly central location.

thealternativefact

Unless things go tits up I will be coming :)

TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at

apostrophe up so I can hold on to your tits instead please?

then what will I hold on to?

TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at

and you can share it.

thealternativefact

Ok, I am signed up, and everything is so far looking like I can actually make a London bash!

This makes me happy.

Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all

Pub is decided as The Yorkshire Grey in central London.

Oh dear god, I've just seen how many people are going now. This started out as a tiny thing and has become a bit of a behemoth...not that I'm complaining, but bear in mind that I'm not the only person celebrating a birthday, but I'll leave it up to him to decide if he wants to out himself as it were ,)

fuck shit up the best you never had

seeing as clendrix and kaol are having a joint birthday bash . . .

. . . .

Is "what do you buy a 50-year-old man?"

Cawl

ask me in 16 years, and 14 days

if you are not in arkham by then

Arkham?
That place is easier to get out of than a wet paper bag!

Cawl

obviously! whats the point in either locking villains up in places they cannot escape from, or killing them off, tends to fuck up the potential storylines a little bit

But mine's a bit later. But then again, IIRC, this bash wasn't on the day of your birthday.

mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars

Very much looking forward to some advent cheer!

Does anyone have a spare room I could crash in? I'm quite happy to cook a (rather good) fry-up next morning in payment, or a stack of pancakes, should you so choose...

If you don't mind travelling to the outer edges of London, I could put you up. I should also warn you my floor is wooden so you may need more than a sleeping-bag, but I've got an extra sleeping-bag so you can use that one too.

Also, in case we miss the last tube back, it's really close to a night-bus stop.

I'm a London b3tan, but the space I have was snapped up by a keen south-coaster quite some time ago.

thealternativefact

share a bag with you?

but Rakky has persuaded me to come along. As such whereas before you were all umming and erring, now you have a bona fide reason to go too!
No need to thank me.
ps - If you have no idea who the feck I am anyway... let me know :)
pps - If you want to give me a floor for the evening, let me know even more.

Anyone else going to be there before 8? I'm heading off straight from the office so would prefer not to hang around.

mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars

I'll definitely be around before then. What sort of time are you going to get there?

rubberduck should only be used after consulting with your GP

Will grab a bite to eat and make my way there. I'd expect to be there by 7pm.

mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars

I'll also will be looking to head there after work (coming from Bank way so only 10-20 mins away) let me know what time you pair will be there, gaz me if you want numbers etc.

Bill, Boss Keloid and myself will more than likely be there from 6ish

I'll be leaving work at 4.
So... *shrugs*

Maybe by six, if I'm lucky.
Maybe I'll turn up at seven, covered in blood, sweat and bits of commuters.

Cawl

I'll be there from around 4ish

*keens*

Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm

Work sucks like that.

I'm going to watch depraved bendy filth at the Hippodrome instead (La Clique)

Now I don't have to worry so much about not going myself.

I am mostly cool. Mostly.

Madam Marlboro wonders if you've found her yet

To freeze warts off.
Fact.

Cawl

can I not find anywhere near me that sells soft pack Malboros?

harrumph.

No idea what they even are...

Cawl

foil and paper wrapped instead of cardboard, much nicer taste but the last 5 tend to get flattened if you are not careful

I've never seen 'em anywhere, strange.

Cawl

Gaz me if you want me to grab you a pack.
