You could always ask if he would let you borrow it for a little while. Ask him real nice like, worse thing he could say would be "NO"!!!!

Hi guys, here are some more pics but I am sure they are still going strong (as I left early as well)
The obligatory money shot! spuds ordered 3 MASSIVE pizzas. Thanks Dan! spuds taking a bite of a pizza. You can see The GMT Master, TSW and Arttay 10! Arttay 10 and DiamondJack were discussing vintage when I was chatting to them. They brought some really nice watches to the GTG as well! Dino checking what I am doing while The GMT Master and TSW just kept chatting! Zed Homme enjoying London! Last edited by sleddog; 3 July 2011 at 03:29 PM.. |

They did say he ordered it, so if he bought it I guess it was all his to eat. Quite a feet though if you ask me.
Hey Spuds was the Pizza good?

Bloody hell, what an evening! I'm quite drunk, and in my hotel room. Hope to see all the fellers tomorrow morning, I think the plan is to harrass the good people at Harrods
On another note, thanks for posting those pics, Vincent, was lovely to meet you! |

Real drunk, back in my hotel, absolutely enjoyed meeting everyone. There are plenty of pics to follow, when the guys get them uploaded. I really don't have a strong enough grasp of the language to truly express how great the people are that I met tonight. The trf UK/London crew are exceptional. I can't wait for tomorrows lunch.

It was amazing to meet such a great bunch of guys!
If you guys are going to Harrods and having lunch around Knightsbridge, try popping into Time2 at One Hyde Park and take some pics if you guys have time (opens from noon to 6pm on Sunday)! |

It was a great day and a real pleasure to meet all the gang. I especially liked being able to talk to people about watches without their eyes glazing over. Dalip took a few pics so I'm sure they'll be uploaded once he's rinsed his head out.
