Colnago · 3 July 2010, 03:40 PM

Less than 3 hours and I will be on the train!!!....still can't decide which wacthes to take....

The GMT Master · 3 July 2010, 04:22 PM

A little over three hours for me, just sorting out all the bits and bobs I need to bring

Colnago · 3 July 2010, 04:43 PM

Ha ha Chris, me too.....just printing directions etc etc.....p.m. me your mobile number if you don't mind, just so I have at least one contact

Sailor66 · 3 July 2010, 04:52 PM

Hi Guys, I hope the GTG goes well today. WIS chat is quite thirsty work by all accounts.

I'm stuck onboard a bloody big grey Ship for the day (as per usual) and will be with you all in spirit.

Have a great day

Colnago · 3 July 2010, 04:56 PM

Cheers Gordon.....we'll "sink" a couple for you!!!!

daveathall · 3 July 2010, 04:58 PM

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Colnago · 3 July 2010, 05:12 PM

Cheers Dave.....got my camera packed so will have some pics up tomorrow with any luck....hangover permitting!!!

dalip · 3 July 2010, 05:30 PM

It is a beautiful day!!!!!!!!! Getting sorted here....up at my Dad's...so catching the train into KingsX then on my way in...have to pick up a b'day prezzie for the old man....so will be doing that before we meet...(don't let me forget it later!)

slight hangover from last night catching up with a few mates over here...but I'll be bright and ready to go come 1pm!

Camera is ready...Here we go...London GTG 2010 :)

Colnago · 3 July 2010, 07:44 PM

on the train right now, a bit delayed but I built some spare time into me schedule so should be ok still....woo hoo...here we go!!

watch-nut · 3 July 2010, 08:19 PM

Have a good one everybody and i hope i can get to the next one

Colnago · 4 July 2010, 05:36 AM

Well, that's it, all over like a wedding, so they say.....brilliant doesn't come close....met Chris (GMT Master) before even getting there, he recognised my TRF tee shirt (thanks Mark and Leo once again).....felt like I had known the lads half my life, none of us had met in person before but we all felt the same, it's just a shame more of us were not there.....next year WILL be bigger!....it just cost me an extra 100 Quid to get home as I missed my train by max 30 seconds doors closed so I could not get on....furious.....but it was worth it! will try and post some (hopeless) pictures tomorrow, expect more and higher quality from the other lads (especially Dalip) later trying to post this from my Archos on the train in cattle class so excuse my typing, also missed the prologue tt in the toue de France today to make the get together, that's some sacrifice, first time I have missed it in over 20 years!

dalip · 4 July 2010, 06:26 AM

On the train myself. What an awesome time!!!!!! Crap you missed the train Bill... I blame Dan. Ok so I may be a slight bit p*** ed ... But I had the best time. Plenty of snaps but I will not be able to load for a bit.

Bill start a new thread with yours.

But while I'm here .... Dan, Bill and Chris.... It was an absolute pleasure!!

Now don't mention the stickers .....

Lots more to follow from this one

PhilM · 4 July 2010, 06:35 AM

Guys I'm glad you had a great time, I knew you would, absolutely gutted that I could make it as the wife had stuff planned already.... Looking forward to seeing the pics soon

The GMT Master · 4 July 2010, 08:08 AM

I ended up missing my train as well - but the offer of one last drink was too good to turn down, and I'm not really bothered about the extra costs, definitely worth it. Lots of beer, lots of watches, and a hell of a lot of fun, I'm definitely a GTG convert now! I'll post the few pics I have and a proper report tomorrow, when I'm a bit more compus mentis

Thanks again guys, it was a real blast, and an honour to meet all of you

Haha, don't worry about it - as I say, it's been a long day with many, many beers, so I'll write my side of the story tomorrow

TempoKing · 10 July 2010, 02:57 AM

I hate black stuff...more of a blonde stuff myself...

1.Budweiser
2.Yuengling
3.Pabst Blue Ribbon
4.Sam Adams
5.Harp
6.Molson
7.Foster's
8.Amstel Light
9.Participation Lager*
10.Corona

* it has a unique flavor with slight fruity undertones. This lager has a bad reputation of being a "girly" beer, but it is strong and tasty enough to satisfy even the manliest of men.
