Watches, drinks, food, WIS's, good weather (well I can hope can't I?!?) and a chance to see Dan in his mankini. Does it get any better?

banned as in "changing the venue and time without telling someone" or banned as in "banned from attending a GTG - full stop"?

Could be a great idea - I know it would be a doddle to upload the pictures to somewhere like Twitter, could be fun to do a running commentary on there!

Depends on the 3G/wi-fi service. It can be done by using iPhone (or something similar) and Tapatalk app.

I've got my Blackberry (a 3G model) set up with a Twitter App, which is ready dialled in to a Twitter Photo account as well TRF isn't that Blackberry friendly, so if we're uploading directly here, I think the iPhone crew will have to sort it

Excellent!!

Good man Nigel!!

Personally I'll just be bringing whatever I'm wearing watch-wise (although I'm hoping others will bring their collections....) & regarding attire...??

Assuming my mankini's in the wash it'll just be shorts, shirt & a bloody wide skateboard strapped to me back in the hope that someone rolls me back to the hotel when we're done!
