London is cool, I think...

Drove up yesterday, got stuck in traffic (and, let's face it, I was late leaving anyway), then got lost (really must contact Merton council about how crap their signage is), but eventually got to nadriel's.

Went out in town last night, to College Arms initially, then wandered down Oxford street to meet faeriecween and jantshira, we, eventually, found a pub that wasn't shut. In Soho, all the pubs still shut at 11. WTF? There were, of course, other places open, but, well, a bit pricey for entry...

Anyway, up most of the week, only set plan is to be back in the office Monday, and going to Reading tonight to see people, anyone want to suggest something I could do other than maybe go see pTerry on Thursday evening?

What he said!

[matgb]

Is this a genderswapping thread I wasn't told about?

[matgb]

No, I picked up the abbreviation from you, no idea if it's used elsewhere, it just seems to work.

Are you going to dress up? You weren't sure when you posted about it last time...

[innerbrat]

Riiight. The lady being me. I got confused after draich_goch called me 'he'.

Probably, now. Although I forgot my swored. Still, blonde woman, chaimail, badge on collar around her neck.

Well, Jason's married with kids, he's not allowed female friends...

not actually true but it's an excuse...

You fancy pub/drink before/after?

[innerbrat]

Not really before, because I'm out West. (West of Uxbridge is Out West, if you're me). After... well, I cannae drink because I'm on many many drugs.

But sure! Also: queuing fun.

[matgb]

Blimey, thzt's further out than nadriel.

I take it getting there early might be useful? Heh, he'll have to meet me in town...

[innerbrat]

Depends if you have your ticket or not.

I plan to get there for 5ish, although you won't suffer by getting there later - just lose seats. The signing will be afterwards, and as we're not rabid hyperactive fanboys, I imagine we won't be near the front. So most interaction will take place in the queue.

Right......it's all as clear as mud now.

One visit to a city and you just go to pieces don't ya! hehehe
