Congrats on the promotion, I take it you get a better staff discount now
I may miss you sunday, my mother has my kids on Sunday with the understanding I will be back by lunchtime. If you can imagine the skills of Uncle Buck but in a skirt you can understand why I cant go shopping on sunday

No way Dino !!! Are you invited to the omega speedmaster event on friday?

[spuds]

Good morning chaps!!

Firstly please accept my apologies for not being on the forum very much of late.....
Work's been manic and we've just thrown a 'joint party' for my kids 16th, 18th and 21st birthdays and that was taking up all my spare time and (albeit very limited I know!) spare 'brain capacity!'.

But the party's been thrown (and it was a massive success if I say so myself! ) so 'back to normality' now and looking forward to catching up with you all on Saturday evening.

Seeyousoon guys!!

[red.earth]

Well done, Dan!! Worth all the effort, I'm sure.

I look forward to seeing you Saturday (at last...)

Geert, I'm planning on attending the Speedy event and have my invite.....so hopefully will see you there. I'll be around for an hour or so but then need to shoot for dinner in town.

I'm also going to Salon QP on Sat and will be around for a few drinks later but have a Fireworks party to attend on Sat evening/night so can't make dinner.

Sorry to hear you can't make it Dino but looking forward to catching up with the rest of the team

Hi Paul,
I know you previously posted the itinerary, approx what time for the pub in Smith Street and what time are you departing for the Dickens?

I might join you at QP, I managed to obtain a Friday & Saturday day ticket. I am going Friday as I will be in the West End and might also go Saturday, domestic arrangements permitting.

Now here's the hard part, which watch?

Hey I'm there all day Saturday starting with the sound lab, then the spirit tasting then the vintage rolex phenomenon seminar. Will then rush to the riverside to catch the forewords (Lorn mayors event)

I can't confirm that I'll make it to dinner :(

Its not set in stone but I would think Smith Street after QP so perhaps 2-2.30 and then get to the Dickens by 4.30-5pm? Although these times may/could vary. I think Dan is looking at 6pm at the Dickens for him so as long as our ETA ties in we have some flexibility before then. If you want to call me when u know where you will be joining us, I can let you know where we are hiding:)

As to Watch? I would say the latest addition to the rotation which would be the TT Sub, The dial looks great in the bright light. I shall be sporting my Red 1680 and maybe the GMTc beater.
Hopefully Nathan will have something other than the YM2 on his wrist as I am planning on arriving in London with no money

[Xenophon]

I'll see you in the Smith Street boozer

Yo Chaps!!

Long story short I've gotta drop Billy back half-way between West Ham and Rayleigh so my new ETA is "somewhere between 6.00 and 7.00" depending on how far I can persuade the Mrs. to drive and meet me, parking, check-in etc!!

Rest assured I'll be there (wherever you are?!?) and downing a few bevvies with you ASAP Gent's......

I think the best thing to do is leave the booking as it stand mate (table for 8 at 8pm IIRC?) and we can always make any minor revisions from next door half hour beforehand.

Looking forward to seeing y'all guys....

I am staying at Heathrow Friday before flying home Saturday morning. I'd gladly take the express into London for a pint Friday night, rather than sit at the Sofitel by myself. Anyone going to be in the city Friday evening? Anything going on in London Friday that is worth a trip into the city?

[Swearengen]

I have a spare daytime ticket for Salon QP for Friday & Saturday. Its free to whoever PMs me first. Also offered on my FB page, so first come first served

[Swearengen]

Ticket now gone.

[iWally]

Hey,

unfortunately i won't be able to make it on saturday due to me having coursework deadlines which i did not anticipate earlier on in the year!

So with great regret i won't be able to attend :(

Hope you guys have lots of fun... I'm sure you will :D

Cheers

Sorry I couldn't make this one guys. Hope it's a great one.

[spuds]

Guys, who's staying at The Tower Hotel?

I know Paul and I are, but Geert...?? Anyone else??

[red.earth]

Nope. Fenchurch St and home for me.

[Swearengen]

Ressence and Tudor

[steveclocks]

I am not staying at the tower hotel this time guys. Will be quiet late today. I think QP at around 2.30-3 pm afterwards coming to the Dickens. Will bring Michael too 😉. I'll stay for dinner

[Xenophon]

Sorry guys, I've just checked the train times and my line is not running today. What should be a 15 minute ride to the next station is a 50 minute bus. I'm going to bail out. I'd even bought the luxury British chocolates.
Here's what you are going to miss

[red.earth]

Oh no! What a pi**er. Next time, eh?
