I just remembered, Langley in Covent Garden (on Langley Street) used to be quite nice. Decent cocktails, not bad prices (haven't been there for a couple for years and my memory is hazy at best), quite fit crowd in a Clapham way. They do great steak sandwiches too.

I am intrigued by all this geographically defined social group business. I wonder which part of London is my spiritual home. I live in Dalston, but I hope I am not part of a ‘Dalston Crowd’ because of all the mentals and crackheads in Dalston.

You'd be more than welcome to come stay with us. We could probably convince Ben and family to venture out as well - they're only half an hour away.

This meat, where is it going to happen? I feel vague concern that Darryn is going to pull the plug on the board before this is decided...

I'd quite like to know where this is. I know I said I wasn't going to come but it might get to Friday and I'll find that I simply can't tolerate spending another Friday night doing sod all, watching my housemate get drunk. So, if you're really lucky, I might come along. Maybe. Probably not though.

incrowders should have received details of the after-party by now. If not, leave a message on my profile at the usual place and I'll try and arrange something.

To be honest, most of the problem is actually in getting to London. If I get a train it means cocking about with the shite public transport system and having to risk being mugged by crazies. If I drive, I’ve got to negotiate the archaic road system and find a place where I can park my car overnight where it wont get clamped or stolen. Oh, and I would probably need to find somewhere to stay for the night.
I mean, I love you guys, but Christ do I ever fucking hate London…

I remember the last time ringo said he'd come down and it wasn't until a few hours after the event kicked off that it transpired that he was driving into central london. How we laughed. mobile phone conversations were held with him while he was stuck in traffic on the north circular at 10 o'clock at night or somesuch hilarity.

Usual suspects: The Cock The Windmill Blue Posts (Oxford St or Leics Square)
Definitely not: The Angel (layout designed by a mental in solitary confinement nurturing a hatred for humankind)
Everywhere will be busy on a Friday night obviously.
Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere central and not too wanky?

yeah but you can book booths so seating wouldn't be a prob! and it isn't that wanky. i think we may have differing definitions of what constitutes wanky.

Quite possibly. Bar staff with heavy-metal denim waistcoats worn ironically, accompanied by mid-80s-era Bono hair, ironically, ignoring anyone with symmetrical haircuts and spilling beer all over the counter = Zigfrid = wanky.
Not that I should be taken any notice of. I am a) a square, b) probably not able to make it anyway.

No offense intended Vikram but it was you that suggested it. That alone puts it not only into wanky territory, but ejaculates mercury through the wank-o-meters bulbous end.

Just to be clear, what I know of Herbs is that she does bonk on about how old and square she is but it's a load of bollocks. Herbs is cool. She is like crystallised aaaaay. You know, so the fact she remains so cucumber about things, if she says 'this place is wankus mcwankenzie' and then you announce your mate owns it, then the only reason we should meet up at a place like that is to burn it to the ground. We're going to a pub. And you'll fucking like it.

If she actually says that, I think that's proof beyond a shadow of a doubt just how uncool she really is.
So who's up for posting their mobile number? I could call into the meet, and perhaps be passed from forumite to forumite. It would be like international and shit.

I think it was the crystalized ayyyyy that threw me off the trail nwod. The Fonz hasn't been cool for nearly half a century.
Road kill eating friend. lol.
ETA: I lost a friend over the weekend. I called him The Beaver, and I found him across the street from my house, just off the road, dead as a door nail. He was obviously hit by a car. I've known him for four years, seeing him perhaps monthly over that timeframe. I will miss him dearly.

Was The Beaver very actually made of pure Beaver?
That's a lovely offer nwod, but I was actually holding out for one of the in-crowd.
He was a beaver, so yeah. I remember once, about two years ago, I noticed this huge tree he had been gnawing at. I mean this tree was like 15 feet in diameter. There was no way he was ever going to drop that thing. But he kept at it. Over the course of a few months, much to my surprise, he had felled this mighty oak. But, as I suspected, it was too large for him to use in construction of his dam. It still lies there to this day, decaying. I just had to shake my head at him and go poor stupid beaver.
