Prog Curry: Suggested date...

Anyone up for a scottish curry?

Apparently you can get deep fried kebabs.

That said, if we can get as many people along as possible, I think the evening would be better. What about Friday the 20th then? Let the cat herding begin.... I'll investigate (i.e. ask the wife) the possibility of a spare bed for those who might wish to travel from 'up North' should anyone deign to visit The Smoke. Friday 20th should be ok with me.

Me too!

So thats sigod, chopper, Syzygy & Blacksword, which is a pretty good start. goose, do you reckon you'll be about??

We can agree on a meeting point, times etc earlier that week.

Any more takers for the 20th?? As Simon said, this is likely to happen more than once, so it doen't matter if the 5000 dont turn up this time to be fed..

 

Sounds like it will be fun...but London might as well be a 1000 miles away for me....make sure you take plenty of photos.

I'm probably better fixed for Saturdays, but I can theoretically do any day, so long as I work like hell now (ha! ha!) so I can relax a bit by semester-time.   Can you cut out the Americanspeak? I think you'll find semesters can exist anywhere, and my unversity definitely doesn't have terms . I've realised the 20th is the evening after my third deadline, so I should be able to make it

Excellent news!

So far we have: sigod, Blacksword, Syzygy, Chopper & Goose all free for the 20th.

Good point! Discussions about Yes lyrics are therefore off limits..

I'm not coming then!

What I was meant was that we might want to consider a different day of the week when things are quieter and curry houses are emptier and the lap dancing clubs have a happy hour.

I made up that last bit.

Let me guess there's no food there.

 

I'm sure there is a curry house that we could book a table in advance. I'll investigate some of the the mainline stations for nearby venues. In addition I may have a few prog mates along with me (maybe two or three), so that might swell the numbers up two six or seven.

I would suggest either Waterloo (South London) or Paddington (North London) as the most likely places. What say you all?

That sounds like a good idea Phil, if this works out I can see many more in the pipeline.

God help us.
