Nick Islander spotted with Andre Agassi!

Yep - I met up with Nick for a quick chat today (his Head Office and my place of work are literally 10 seconds away!).

I got a chance to see Nick's Green Sub close up and I must say it's pretty nice! Given the choice I would take it over the regular 16610. The green bezel is really cool and I also like the maxi dial on this particular model. Of course, I couldn't try it on cos' Nick's wrists are the size of a small tree

Hopefully in Feb 2007 Nick and I can join up with Adrian, Ed & Arleen and anyone else who can make it for a small TRF lunch/dinner :) :)

Was extremely good to meet up with you Shane: it's been a few months now, we shouldn't leave it that long.

I couldn't walk past Admiralty Arch without calling in, especially as we'd missed each other the day before.

(Apologies, to the "non-locals": Admiralty Arch is the arch from Trafalgar Square leading to Buckingham Palace, along the Mall )

Both our offices are in the street overlooking the Mall and St James Park - not a "bad address", even in world terms !!

The LV looked great on you.... but I'm quite sure its a keeper for me too, so you'll have to find your own when the time comes, but my AD will help!

All the best: see you soon I hope.

Sounds like the two of you had a great time.

I'm sorry to tell you, Shane, but for the first time in 10 years we will not be coming to Jolly Ol' in February. We're going to be on the other side of the world then. We're doing Australia and New Zealand the last two weeks in February. I want to watch our BKL in action, scampering around the fields with his sheep.

But take heart, we will likely come over in May. We're going to spend a week in a villa in Tuscany. So on the way over, I thought we would stop over in London for a few days.

I'll keep you all posted on my schedule as it gets closer. I do hope at least some of us can get together then.

Apologies JJ: no pics this time... it was literally a flying visit during work time for both of us.

Luckily we've posted our get togethers before, so just assume that we look about the same :-) :-)
