London Summer 2013: August 17 & 18!!
It's that time o'year again guys and I have the honour of announcing that we already have two forum stalwarts confirmed as attending from the other side of the globe this year!!
Chris (Zed Homme) will be with us for the entire weekend and Raf (Figbo) is with us on the Sunday so TRF-UK'ers let's really push the boat out this year chaps and do ourselves and The Forum proud!! So to tie in with Chris and Raf's commitments the dates are fixed at Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th August, and unless anyone has any objections I'm proposing our now traditional venue of The Dickens for just a few drinky-poos on the Saturday afternoon followed by dinner at The Living Room (Modern English) or The Mala (Indian). I'm already meeting my good friend Eric (esm) at The Dickens on Monday so I'll reserve 'our usual area' by the balcony there but I won't book dinner until you guys have had a chance to chime in with your preferences..... I'm recommending that anyone staying in town book The Tower (Guoman chain) and I'll sort out a link in a minute..... On the Sunday we'll take in a leisurely (& very good value!) breakfast underneath Tower Bridge before journeying into town for some watch/window shopping at the likes of One Hyde Park, Selfridges and Harrods, as well as meeting up with Raf whenever and wherever suits him best.... Sooooooooo looking forward to this already.....!! So in true London-GTG style I'll get the attendee list started in the hope that the list just keeps getting longer!! London Summer 2013 GTG attendees: Spuds (Dan): Saturday & Sunday & staying at The Tower.

London Summer 2013 GTG attendees:
Spuds (Dan): Saturday & Sunday & staying at The Tower. Joker (Wes Lucky B@ll@cks!): probably just the Saurday 'cos he's a lightweight! BH13GMT: Saturday & Sunday & staying at The Tower 'cos he's as much of a p!ss-head as Dan! Xenophon (Nathan): confirmed via tect but probably just the Saturday 'cos he misses his own bed and horlicks! Zed Homme (Chris): Saturday & Sunday & staying at The Tower 'cos he's a globe-trotting p!ss-head! Figbo (Raf): Sunday only 'cos he's too old to keep up!

Just to clarify to our non uk based friends, Horlicks does not involve paying for sex or anything of a similar nature. Its a malt based milk drink to help small children and the elderly to get to sleep
