If I had feelings that could have hurt me Dan, calling me a bloody northern lightweight good luck on the 15th mate will you be having pre-set radio stations programed in and does your wife get a remote for it so you can't turn it when she nags

I wouldn't call anyone from Nottingham a lightweight after having a lot to drink in the Lincolnshire Poacher on Mansfield road in Nottingham, was there for a GTG with collectors of items that we don't speak about here.

Right, just to clarify.
We meet for a pub lunch between 2 and 4.
Is that it? I most certainly ain't travelling 75 miles for two hours.
At the last meet we met at about 12 and i put Dan Pierce in a cab at about 7.30. Hic.
I do hope some are of a similar mindset to me.
Someone needs to make a list of those coming.

Well I'll probably be coming straight from work so will get there about 2.30/3.00 latest (although I have actually BOOKED the morning off but wether I actually GET the morning off is another thing altogether.... ) .... so I'll certainly be planning on staying later than 4!

I'll probs be wearing the DJ, unless I can borrow something from work

As for making a longer day of it, I'd love to go and see the Burlington Arcade - it's the first time to London since my watch "awakening" - so if anyone was up for a bit of extra watch porn before the GTG, that'd be great

Prob won't be able to meet before the pub time posted Chris. And don't want to shop after a few beers....way to dangerous

But let's see how it pans out.....

I fully endorse the TRF Brit GTG hitting the watch shops after a long and hardy pub lunch....The results, I'm sure, would be EPIC. Please, please make it happen.
