Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
My apologies. I was being lazy in thought and deed.
No the original venue was the coal hole pub on the Strand. It now lives on in the thread title. The meet moved to the Bierschenke for the (much better) lighting.
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Are you going to able to get there on February 6th, Carl?
Some days, it's hardly worth chewing through the leather straps....
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Hi Stoat
Negotiations are ongoing.......
My wife has a new job as a practice nurse and the practice have been offering extra hours. I'm waiting to see if the 6th is a working day (morning) for her.
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
It will be our last meeting until September
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
For all those interested Bierschenke means beer tavern in English.
We will miss you Migo and Murphy. Due to the festivities and holidays I did not see you as often as before.
My other writing instrument is a pencil.

Sorry but I'd forgotten it's my youngest son's birthday weekend. We're off to Twycross zoo that day.Originally Posted by oldstoat
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Sorry to hear that Carl. Hopefully you will make it next time around.
The usual table has been booked for 12pm.
Maybe we should start booking two tables?

Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Sadly, I can't join you this time as I am working.
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Alas, I am going to have to give this a miss too. Rob
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
It sounds like there will be spare sits this time around.

Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Sorry to say that I shan't be there either - my mother was admitted to hospital last night so I have to be around here.
Best wishes to all

Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Cob: I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she's better soon.
My thoughts are with you.
Re: London 'The Hole' Geek Gathering
Is anyone left to attend? I will be in London anyway tomorrow but it would be good to know if the meeting is still on?
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Thanks Carl, well she's a very old lady (98) but I saw her this afternoon and despite her ailment she is in robust form - fortunately she is entirely compos mentis!

Thanks all for your good wishes for my Ma.
And Marisa - you left a nice little cake for me last time and I felt guilty becasue I didn't know the cake was for me (Rui explained) until after you had left.
So thank you!
