One of these days I hope to be well off enough to crash one of these short notice London HalfCon's. I'll be sure to warn everyone, So I'll be the only one who shows & can have all the bourbon to myself! |
|
| |
7:30, you say. The airlines seem to have a problem with my halfbakery sock puppet, otherwise....(maybe someone can drink a Young's for me?) |
|
| |
Oops..Ta [Zimmy]
BTW, Consider the Pint of Youngs, lovingly cared for |
|
| |
[po] Eh? Did I get the wrong year? |
|
| |
[Ian Tindale]The clue's in the title :) |
|
| |
Well I was going to be in London on Thursday, but I will now be returning on the Friday in a hire car and leaving my own car here in Ireland in the tender care of Suzuki who will rebuild the engine and put in on a boat for me in a couple of weeks. Sometimes I hate cars. Sigh. |
|
| |
[po] Ah, sorry. Don't blame me... I was asked by group-leader to organize something soon... |
|
| |
Note that nothing's been booked... (Thought I'll be there/then) If someone wants to suggest another time/place that's fine. I was mindful that Summer was drawing to a close. |
|
| |
[Zimmy]! Not well enough to make it to the pub? Should we worry? Hope it's nothing serious. |
|
| |
[pertinax], it's just that there's an aweful lot of water between my house & a real pub.
And my halfbakery sock puppet seems to have gotten himself on the No Fly list. Something about a petition for gnus on planes, I'm not sure. When I woke up he was handcuffed to the Air Marshall. He claims it was for the inappropriate touching of a flight attendant, but I don't know, they showed me the petition. |
|
| |
(You should have heard him squawk all the way home from the airport about the cavity search) |
|
| |
Sounds great - and yes, last chance for a pint before the end of the balmy summer! |
|
| |
Pre-war halfcon? Fantastic. See you there.
Not quite sure who I'll be seeing there, but
that's part of the charm of it. |
|
| |
def make it to see st3f again even if the gg's have rejected me in the morning. doss down in SW17 if need be! |
|
| |
Say hi for me to each other, please. |
|
| |
bloody shame you can't make it! |
|
| |
My Oyster card seems up to date ;) |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure that I've been to the Windmill on one of my cricketing outings. I'll try and get there, work permitting.
Late update: Can't make it. Early start on Friday morning i'm afraid. |
|
| |
Can I wear my propeller head cap? (Searches for flying goggles, and then remembers what he was doing last time he wore them, and thinks better of it) |
|
| |
Work precludes I'm afraid. Have a great time though. |
|
| |
Well don't count on me turning up. I can't even find them when I'm in the same building. |
|
| |
I just double checked, it's open, and they serve food till 10pm |
|
| |
To aid recognition, I'll be the one fighting
(possibly literally) with The Independent's
crossword or, if you're there before me,
the one walking in with the Indie under his
arm. |
|
| |
Who'll take my bet on the crossword? ;) |
|
| |
//To aid recognition// have you changed much? |
|
| |
A little older, a little wiser, still the same
number of arms and legs. |
|
| |
skinflaps & zen & st3f are probably still making their way home. |
|
| |
I drove dub home and I'm on my way pretty quick to zzzzz. |
|
| |
one hell of a fantastic evening,.. |
|
| |
Always good to see halfbakers again.
Always good to see po again.
dib dib dib. |
|
| |
<salutes teletubby fashion> |
|
| |
'twas fun, right up to squeezing through the Underground's gates at the end. |
|
| |
What a lovely evening ! - We really ought to organize a __proper__ trip to the Science Museum one day... (Perhaps unilaterally, and have some kind of web/satellite link-up) When we can all walk around alligator fashion - Po, you can sort that, can't you? It should be right up your street now |
|
| |
The curator can indicate Babbage's Difference Engine, and we can all shake our heads, and bun it. |
|
| |
[calum]I have a few, I'll put them up and link'em soon (this weekend) |
|
| |
ahem, pass mine by me first or else. |
|
| |
organising kids trips to the science museum has always been up my street... |
|
| |
Naturally! (But don't worry, your identity is obscured by the reflected glare from your minty YoYo earrings) - Hey, were they cookies or YoYos? |
|
| |
I can't remember when I had a better evening - celebrated my new job, caught up with gossip with st3f and zen, got to hug skinflaps, dunked chips in ketchup with dub... priceless. |
|
| |
the only thing missing was Mr T. where were you? |
|
| |
[Jutta], you should be proud of your bakers - Bakers, be proud of your bakership. |
|
| |
The missing were missed. All of 'em.
(Sorry, went all funny then) |
|
| |
po: he has a new TV series - "I pity the fool." |
|
| |
yep. you came up in conversation too! |
|
| |
Well, there's a massed pie fight in New York on Monday that seems sufficiently half-baked for another go at a Big Apple Minicon, if anyone's up for it. |
|

Sorry to have missed this. I was on the M40 at the time wishing that I wasn't. |
