Saturday, September 6th 'thon

[Anton Gramscescu]

So. I'm vaguely in the London area that day and wondering what the odds are of a good 'thon. I mean, I know the pull of the England-Andorra match must be positively frightening, but if anyone were up for a session I'd be well up for it, too.

It's a Stay Beautiful night, which means I can't make it, but if anyone does fancy a drunken stumble onto a dancefloor after the pub-athon, PM me for guesty. Carry on.

AG - we're at home that day, come to the game, why not?

[Guest]

It's also my last Saturday in London, so I was actually just about to propose a kind of arrangement for drinks if anyone was interested.

So if you would perhaps be kind and agree to share the occasion, AG?

Also, Stay Beautiful sounds really just the thing, if other people are up for it.

[DCI Harry Batt]

How about coming to the game for the afternoon, before going off and getting drunk like bums somewhere?

[Guest]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Sounds good to me, if anyone else will go too.

My sister is around. She's excellent and would really like to meet you all.

I've also been invited to a tremendous houseparty that night, You fancy it, AG?

[DCI Harry Batt]

I reckon the important thing is to snare the Canadian, Ly. Then we'll get everyone else.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Having met him in the Blackfriars, I can vouch that he's OK.

That's a very kind offer, TT - I'll have to check that I can actually make it to a ground by 3 PM, though. Probably do-able, but I should double-check.

That's great that you'll be around Lyra - I had thought you'd have already scarpered. And I would be more than happy to raise a glass to a study-abroad year (you have no idea how attractive that sounds).

Still, spoilt for choices - houseparties, SRs gig...(what is "Stay Beautiful" exactly?) - how to decide?

[DCI Harry Batt]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

turn up at half time and you can get in for free, usually

[Anton Gramscescu]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

TT, it appears I can be at King's Cross/St. Pancras at 1 PM or so. 1:30 at the latest. I assume that's enough time to get to Kingsmeadow? (Just looking at the map, KC to Green Park, Green Park to Waterloo, Waterloo to Norbiton would be fastest, yes)?

[EIM]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

I'm in.

[Duncan Gardner]

AG- if you take the Victoria line KX to Vauxhall then transfer to a train to Norbiton, it'll save you a transfer in central London, I think.

[Anton Gramscescu]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Indeed it would. Thanks!

EIM: brilliant.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

So we're on, right?

[EIM]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Yeah, man. Though I'm off the booze, so will be getting all lairy and gobby on lime and soda.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Off the booze? So, I'm sure you know I have to ask what that's all about, right?

[EIM]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Just need to clear my head, get myself thinking straight again. Had a had-core few weeks where I achieved nothing but upsetting people I love.

So, you know.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Sounds familiar. All the best with that.

[EIM]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Heh. Until I can learn 'moderation' I have to go without. Which sucks ass.

[Anton Gramscescu]

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

Yeah, we're on. First a match, then large-scale toasting to Lyra's adventures in Switzerland.

Looking back at the old board, I just realised that my first post was Sept. 6 last year, so this will be a nice anniversary.

I have just been invited to some drinks on this day as someone has decided to get married. I can't not go to that but it will be for a few hours in the evening only so hopefully I can do both things.

Saturday, September 6th 'thon

London 'thon? Check.
blameless scheduled to be in Scotland that day? Check.

I'll also be out of the capital on the weekend of October 10th/11th/12th if you want to organise one for then too.

(Just kidding. Have a fabulous time, all).

[DCI Harry Batt]

Eric's - if it's not out of order to ask, does this extend to other...things? Or is it just drinking?

People who decide to get married are very demanding, aren't they?

Should be a good crowd at the game.
