Serious suggestion:

Loop Bar, Dering Street - off New Bond Street.

Why? Happy hour from 4-8pm meaning half price beers & selected spirits and cocktails. + GIRLS!!

Plenty of office and party girls. The place actually rocks till 3.30am.

Sounds good, nice and central too.

Does this mean you're coming Ninja Dom?

 

[Bazza]

If there is any room to crash anywhere let me know, spent a fair chunk of my wages this month on new PC parts so cant afford to book anywhere, can get the last train as a last option though/

 

[Seanspeed]

I should be able to make it. Finally here!

 

[Hindle]

Any chance we could meet at Kings Cross?

 

[Mikeside]

Any chance we could meet at Kings Cross?

oh god I don't recommend that. not after last time

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Well, he is a ninja.

Haha, lol.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

If someone can give me a place to stay, I'm in. Probably shouldn't waste an opportunity to meet the boss man.

jimbor said he can put you up dude.

 

[Hindle]

Dam, if thats the case I could do with directions as I'm not familiar with London at all.

You have revealed both your full name, your private email address, as well as your booking reference number that someone could use to potentially steal your tickets.

Good job.

I'm sure someone will be able to meet you at Kings Cross. What time will you be getting there?

Yeah, that probably wasn't too smart in hindsight.

*deleted*

Nobody steal my shit! I know who you all are!

(cheers Suairyu, I have moments of idiocy here and there.)

 

[EviLore]

Looks like it's going to be a nice turnout!

 

[King_Moc]

Dam, if thats the case I could do with directions as I'm not familiar with London at all.

I'd be arriving at Euston around 6.30 and that's only a couple of minutes away, so I could meet you at King's Cross around then if you need.

 

[EarsOfASnake]

Probably as good a time as ever to make my first appearance at a GAF meetup. I shall be there!

 

[sohois]

Always been out of the country whenever any of the previous ones have been on, it'll be nice to go to one.

I'm in then.

 

[Wilbur]

if evilore admits he has no budo i shall attend

 

[Hot Coldman]

jimbor said he can put you up dude.

Sweet. I'll PM him later, see what the plan is.

Should be a good time!

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Jimbor is wicked fun man, really cool fella. Should be fun times at his place!

I have to stay at Musha's, sucks.

Spoiler

Joking Musha, please don't make me sleep on the street.

;P

 

[CyclopsRock]

Hooooo rah!

 

[dapperbandit]

Okay so since EviLore has said he's coming to London I thought it would be a good idea to set up a thread for a mini meet, mainly so we don't spam the BritGaf thread and piss off those who can't come.

I figure we'll meet up around 6:30-7ish, unless anyone's around earlier and wants to hook up.

Possible locations: Keeping it central, so

Loop Bar, Dering Street
Loading
De Hems

More suggestions welcome please.

Attending:

Musha_Soturi
EviLore

Hot Coldman (needs a place to stay)
Bleepey (maybe)
Jordan91 (maybe)
Deaf Spacker (maybe)
zomgbbqftw (maybe)
SquiddyCracker (maybe, depends on the train)
Screaming Meat (depends on money and making a mug of himself issues)
Hindle (depending on how well organised it is)

Will update OP as we go along.

found the right post to reply to

Stick me down for confirmed, I have nothing else on then, only something dramatic would stop me

Also, personally, I'd rather go to loading than De Hems since we went there last time

Also, 6 30-7 could be tricky since I'd need to come more or less straight from work. Is it the friday because that's when Evil is in London? Otherwise I'd have thought saturday would be better so i can spend more time with you lovable fools

Well that's the idea

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Put me on the maybe list. Although I'm having birthday celebrations the next day, so I'm less sure.

 

[CyclopsRock]

I'll be coming from work but whatever man, I wear onsies and dressings gowns to work.

 

[SkepticalPanda]

Fuck this. Seeing all the excitement and whatnot surrounding this. I'll have my own meetup this weekend with the one Gaffer I know personally.

 

[jimbor]

I'd suggest somewhere in Camden because I'm lazy and also it's easy for people to get to from Kings Cross.

Mostly because I'm lazy.

Mostly.

 

[Lucius86]

Out, revising for my next exam unfortunately.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Well that's the idea

Goddamn it woman!

I did consider Camden, but for people coming in from elsewhere it's a pain. Sorry jim, you'll have to drag yourself to central

>Loop Bar

8 quid for a glass of wine? is Evilore paying?

 

[Ninja Dom]

Sounds good, nice and central too.

Does this mean you're coming Ninja Dom?

Yes I'm involved. This time I'll be there.

Bad side to Loop Bar is the pints aren't the best (Stella Artois is served). Stick to the Stella bottles for a good value, refreshing & tasty beverage.

Be prepared to lay down about £15 on a bottle of Rosè around midnight for some truly drunk pulling action.

Loop is also very loud so you'll have to stand outside if you want deep & meaningful conversations. But...GIRLS!!

 

[afoni]

big fat giant MAYBE

Yeah, Loop bar sucks and is a tourist trap full of attitude.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Stella? Yo, fuck that.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Nothing is definite yet guys, still taking suggestions.

Although Loading may be out now we have so many people, it's pretty small.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Can we collectively veto wanky wine bars with strict dress codes, cheesy house music and overpriced drinks?

Those places grind my gears.

So that's London out. XD

EDIT: Right. Count me in. I have some money and it appears that I am happy to make a damn mug of myself. Do not hold it against me.

 

[afoni]

we could go subway?

 

[sympatric]

>Subway

5 quid for a Foot-long Spicy Italian? is afoni paying?

 

[avaya]

I might come down, if I can get off work on time.

I dunno about Italian, but I can offer you an English footlong if you want me to be supplying the goods.

Spoiler

i am paying for nothing

You're talking about your foot aren't you.

Tbh aren't we all just there to have a chat and a few (or more) beers? Nowt wrong with a cavernous spoons.

And a great opportunity to show Evi-kun the pride of Britain.

Montagu Pike then? That's the only large spoons I can think of round there. Not very classy though, and the tables ae a bit too spread out.

Perhaps the Metropolitan Bar, the one next to Baker Street tube station?

Spoons seems a bit shitty to me. Hardcore gaf like to PATT. If a no music type pub with space is the order of the day, you could do worse than a Sam Smith's. Red Lion on Kingly Street, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street, Cittie of Yorke on Chancery Lane etc etc

And the booths are cramped as fuck. Pretty nice place though, it might be alright on a night just mooching about.

Red Lion's TINY but Cittie of York is really nice, I love it in there. Plus it's like 10 mins from my flat. LET'S GO THERE!

 

[King_Moc]

Perhaps the Metropolitan Bar, the one next to Baker Street tube station?

This place would be ok, been there before. Would be a good place to meet up at least and we can move on from there if we want.

I'll be honest, I'd prefer a quiet pub this time.
