I guess this is the best place to post this.. I've just been speaking to Simon (sigod) and he suggested a provisional date for folks in the London area to meet up for a curry. Obviously anyone is welcome if they're happy to travel.. I know chopper, Phil, richardh & Syzygy have all been up for this for a while now.. How are folk fixed for Saturday 21st January?? ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I can usually get to London quite easily, but for the first two weeks of semester (16th - 3rd) I'm going to be rather swamped with coursework  . I'm probably better fixed for Saturdays, but I can theoretically do any day, so long as I work like hell now (ha! ha!) so I can relax a bit by semester-time.

I'm good for both midweek and weekends. Remember that this needn't be
the only time we can meet up so if some cannot attend, there's always
another time. That said, if we can get as many people along as
possible, I think the evening would be better. What about Friday the 20th then? Let the cat herding begin....

At the risk of confusing everything, we should bear in mind that pubs and curry houses in London will be considerably busier on a Friday night. The chances of deep discussions on the true meanings of Yes lyrics will be hampered by the noise from crowds of City brokers. Just thought I'd mention it.

I'm sure there is a curry house that we could book a table in advance.
I'll investigate some of the the mainline stations for nearby venues.
In addition I may have a few prog mates along with me (maybe two or
three), so that might swell the numbers up two six or seven. I would suggest either Waterloo (South London) or Paddington (North London) as the most likely places.

Sorry, but I just can't stand Genesis. I never have been able to. It's not snobbery, but simple differing tastes. I don't like the way some people assume that certain groups just MUST be loved, regardless of preference, if one is to be a true prog fan. I've had my right to even be involved as a collaborator questioned a few times just because I dislike that band! As it happens, I think the concept, however lightly it was suggested, is a great one - we should all bring a copy of a favourite prog album with us as identification (vinyl pref.). |

Thinking about this, it may be an idea for some of us to exchange mobile numbers by pm - I've met Blacksword, Sigod and Sean Trane and I can vouch for them not being psycho cyber stalkers, although I don't know if they'd say the same about me. That way, if anybody gets lost or delayed we'll be able to send out a search party if need be. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Chris: Can you suggest a pub very near to Paddington station where we can all meet up? Then we should all agree on a time. I realise that some people may want to go home first after work, I'll be finishing early that Friday anyway, so I'll go with whatever time is agreed among the majority.

Thankfully, no (despite any indications I may have inadvertantly given to the contrary), the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden in Canada. Nature's pure spring water is my champagne. Still, judging from recent studies and statistics coming out of ol' Blighty, those "permanently-pissed" Brits could well do with an extended "drying out."

Can't have him coming to the table feeling all tense, frustrated and unloved, now can we?
Mind you don't burn yourself, now James -- you may want to finish yer fag before "taking matters in hand," as it were....

Ok I saw a few picks of yours (and I posted mine in the Rogues gallery - all you have to do is add a moustache and goatee) and I know good ol Syz/Chris< But this would be good idea to get pissed before we rip-up a Tandoori restaurant so we get really obnoxious and get spat-in food served to us. I always enjoy that little extra flavour
Where is Paddington from Victoria station? ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

^ Paddington is nowhere near Victoria Station, Hugues -- he is at home waiting on your pillow, as he's always been.

It's bleak, cold and humourless, I tell you. Next month, the government plan to outlaw clowns, and smiling.
