Cambridge in August

[David Agnew]

Ooh, possibly. Or a drink on a weekend, if you're free, which will give me more time to get to/from Norwich.

[ad hoc]

Very possibly. I have to check out my evening commitments tomorrow morning, but will report back then.

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

Not sure whether I'd be able to make that. I'd be up for beers any evening this week though, if I can interest you in that.

[ad hoc]

Any of you lovely people fancy an excursion to watch the U's play Exeter next Tuesday? With beer before and/or after?

[ad hoc]

Very enjoyable evening with janik, irony towers, and reality checkpoint. Thanks to all three of you.

Will try and arrange some Londony thing in the near future (and another Cambridgey one too)

[treibeis]

Bristol doesn't do dinner in the evening. He'll go to bed on an empty stomach.

[Gangster Octopus]

Dinner in the evening? I thought that you were from Yorkshire...

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

the amount of time it's taking us to pack, wash up etc. before we're ready to leave the house, I'll probably be driving past you all as you enter the Flying Pig. I'm due in Bristol for dinner.

[Janik]

Friday it is. I'll try and get there around 6.30-7

Cool, I'll try and be there for then but might be slightly later depending on train times.

[Benjm]

It might be worth starting a separate London August 'thon thread, ad hoc, if you've got some possible dates to float.

[ad hoc]

Friday it is. I'll try and get there around 6.30-7

[Duncan Gardner]

Any of the London crowd around today week? Meanwhile enjoy the Flying Pig

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

Have fun chaps. I'll have to miss that I'm afraid, as I'll be in Bristol for a family wedding.

[irony towers]

Count me in for this Friday evening.

[Janik]

I can definitely get to the Flying Pig this Friday, if that is what people settle on. At a stretch I could be there for 6:30pm, though a bit later and after some food is easier. Other Fridays would work just as well.

[Furtho]

Potentially I could maybe get to Cambridge. Saturday evenings likely to be best for me.

[ad hoc]

It doesn't have to be a whole thon, I'm here for three and a half more weeks, and could fit in with most potential plans

[ad hoc]

Friday at the Flying Pig? Sounds good to me. I'm staying in one of the new student flats next to the station. (it;s rubbish for many reasons)

Definitely be up for it.

[irony towers]

Sincerely hoping my dates away (11th-18th and 24th-27th) won't rule me out of making it.

[Nefertiti2]

Could maybe make this

[Kevin S]

Mine was the next-but-one from EEG's until May but we've moved to a massive new office a bit further out. I miss being able to mooch round the botanic gardens at lunch. Or using the barber and post office, come to that.

Oh, and since a handful of crossworders are in here, a note that I've added some letters to the current clue.

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

ha, my office is just across the car park from the Flying Pig. I look down on it from our window every time I go to fetch a coffee or water from our office kitchenette.

Edit: and I'm still up for meeting for an evening beer later this month. I'm back at work from Mon 20th, and I should also be mainly around in Cambridge w/b 13th, as I've abandoned any idea of travelling that week except maybe one or two day trips.

[Reality Checkpoint]

If you're on Hills Road the Flying Pig might be a good place to meet (just near the Station Road junction) - there's music on tonight and tomorrow so will probably be crowded and noisy but I could make Friday or any night next week except Monday and Wednesday. The Good Lady Checkpoint and I are just planning a trip out to Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania and suchlike places in our motorhome (I'm retiring in a few weeks time) so it would be useful to pick your brains!

[ad hoc]

Just about slotting into a routine now and therefore able to plan a bit more. Evenings are good (and for a London trip too). Daytimes between 8 and 5 are basically out of the question (I could probably get away around 4.30 if I planned it.)

So any takers? Would be great to meet up with people

[Kevin S]

That would be good Kev. Not sure at the moment, as i really don't know what my schedule looks like, but i suspect i'll be fairly full on during the days (I'm out on Hills Road too, at Homerton college, so if you're in the centre, it's a fair trek)

No, that's my end too as it happens. Cool.
