I feel so left out. This is yet another reason I need to move to England. All these American losers sit at their PCs and never do anything. You Brits do all sorts of cool stuff. Why? My theory is that you're just cooler. Man, I need to move there. London or Manchester. Which increases my chances of meeting Noel Gallagher? Hmm...

This is terrible. We're depressing the Americans with all our frolics. Perhaps, as a mark of respect, we should miss out the trip to the lapdancing club this time?

DT: Actually, I think it might have more to do w/ the fact that all the Brits live about 5% as far away from each other as most of the Americans. Britain's a much smaller place...

I had the same thought. "OOH Manchester is soo far away, I have to catch the X train via this then there to get to here (dribble dribble dribble ad nauseum). Come on guys! Let me give you an idea of something larger, say AndrewR and me. He lives in Brisbane and I in Melbounre. That's about London to Rome.
And on an interesting side note (just so I'm being fair and mocking all) you'll be surprised to know that during the great buffalo hunts of the 1800's they killed enough north american bisons to fill a line of train carriges that would stretch from San Francisco to Washington and back. So there! *L*

No, it's cause they're cooler than we are. Of course, aside from Daryus and Baloo (who I am determined to use as a source of material for my upcoming documentrary "American Folk Tales") all the non-Brits are just too wierd to want to meet. For instance, how many of those not living in Great Britain speak with a cool accent and do thinks like drink "lagers" and call people "gits"?

I do know that the 200 miles or so between London and Manchester isn't that far, but we are unfortunately limited by the public transport system. Trains unfortunately don't run all day and night so things like this have to be planned in this way.

Plus, have you SEEN our public transport system?
But if it makes you feel better, the next ofum social event shall take place about a metre from Daryus' bedroom. Deal?
I finish at 5 BTW, so I can be in London by about half 6. Do you guys want to meet ahead of me? I'll ask Lee when he gets in, and I'll post the stuff tomorrow at 1:30 (when I get in). If it changes, then I'll post the new info, and Orion can say on Saturday whether or not he can make it.

On that particular day I may, not yet sure, be in London to meet someone else for lunch. After seeing them off, I could make my way to the rendezvous with you cwwwwayzy guys. Just make sure we meet somewhere we can be likely to spot each other (recognise each other in the case of Lee, Liam and myself). Such as a Tube station....proximal to a fine public house of course.

By a not-entirely-amazing coicidence, Walthamstow, Finsbury Park and Euston are all on the Victoria line. Which is convenient for everyone. Except maybe Joe. I'm not sure what train he needs to get.

Like I say, Leicester Square tube, by the exit that's outside Wyndham's theatre where the play "Art" is on. It's a good spot to meet, I've used it before.
Okay. Say Leicester Square tube, by the exit that's outside Wyndam's theatre where "Art" is playing, at around 6:15 to 6:30.
We might go to a good restaurant in Soho that Lee's been too before. But we have to be there before 7. There's no dress-code. We'll go somewhere quieter to have a drink and talk after. Or a lap-dancing place. One of the two.
And then we'll walk past Page's Bar. And spit on their faces! BWAHAHAHAHA!
