Nathan,
Very pleased to hear things are back to normal.

You still have a while to go until the GTG..........can you stay away from temptation?

You can't have an UK v Belgium chocolate competition

The UK doesn't has any chocolates at all ! But don't worry guys, I'll bring you some so you can again taste what real chocolate should taste like

by the way...and just to make sure we are at the same level here...
We don't have a tomato competition this year do we? I mean is it really a fruit? or....

So, does the plan look something like this?
11am - The Dickens
12-6pm ish - QP
7.30pm - The Mala

Or just:

11am - The Dickens... ... ...
7.30pm - The Mala

In the past we have met up at QP around lunchtime, move on to the dickens mid/late afternoon for a few drinks and watch swapping/stories and then drop into the Mala (which is next door) for dinner.
We will have to take into account the Lord Mayor's show which will slow traffic down if you are not using the tube.

We can check in with the other guys a few days before on this thread to confirm timings, Dan will be arriving at the Dickens after the Hammers match (lets hope they win)

That makes the most sense. Thanks for clarifying, Paul.

That just leave the dilemma of which watch to wear...

I wouldn't want to risk getting mistaken for Maradona... Plus I'm not sure I could handle sporting so much coolness all at once :-)

I hope to be wearing my Red Sub, although it did stop on my yesterday. I should get it back from Bill Rice in a week or so.
As to Maradonna, I made my feelings pretty clear in the other thread

Not long to go now chaps

Always great to meet new members, GTG's make it possible to meet new people and make new friends. I remember you being the new guy a while back and now you are an honoury London geezer and a great friend

As to Nathan's yacht master 2!!!!!! I hope has had another relapse and bought another watch, that will be 40 sheets coming my way

Dan, count me in for dinner please. That's 1 more than before

Talking of bookings, I'd better order my QP ticket. Presumably there's nothing I need to know, other than visit the website and place the order?

Woah there Neddy ! I'm not sure that I have to pay a BH13GMT levy for each watch I ever purchase in future. There's potential for you to get rich on that Paul
