London Meetups

Thanks all for a really great day. Thanks to Londoner for the drinks (they're on me next time, ok?).

I could draw a crayon picture of the meetup and upload it, that's the best I can do I'm afraid. If I had a webcam I might interpret it through dance, but it wouldn't be pretty.

If smiley stick-people impress you you're in for a treat!

Karuna,

Welcome back after your weekend away.. Hey, looking forward to your Crayon illustration.. Pleasure meeting you.

Sorry for the late response - for some reason I cannot get into IM at home - bit of a disaster!

Great to meet everyone. Many thanks to Londoner for making it happen. Apologies for not using the camera we brought with us! Shame we had to nip off early, but it meant we were able to grab a look at Tipu's Tiger and some sublime statues in the V&A

Food was great - congratulations on a good choice. Hope we can do as well in Bristol. Krishna's Inn is our favourite - have been known to divert into Bristol for a meal en route to sunny Devon. Just need to set a date now - any views?

Mike

Wonderful, gruesome thing, isn't it!

Hi Munivar - what about starting a "Ramsgate Meetup" thread? Great idea - especially on a summer weekend, maybe?

And google found the link for Tipu's Tiger at the V&A, for those who have yet to meet him: http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/asia/object_stories/Tippoo's_tiger/index.html

Hi Nycank,

I can do 9 May evening around 8.00 near Hyde Park Corner, for a couple of drinks and swap a few anecdotes. Is that any good for you?

Do we have enough people on this side of the UK?

I guess we would not know until we make a thread about it huh..

First and second weekends of June for Krishna's Inn, Bristol no good for me - will be in Scotland then, hoping that the midges don't find me.

That's near enough. Lets go for it. I'll start looking for a decent pub in the area to meetup in.
