Any BHC or rif raf from other Regions fancy a meet up in London Town this coming Saturday Night.

This is not just for Desmo Duo participants,there will be more Ducati people than you can throw a stick at. Those that dont now the rules about getting in, E mail me, as me U2U ain't working (Look in me profile) Not planning to have a heavy or late night ,house moving in the morning for family . 4D

Fordie, Joanna and I are both coming so maybe we can get on the same train? I'll ring you nearer the weekend or e-mail as my U2U isn't working either so it must be a general fault.
And we don't drink beer! So that'll be 2 lge glasses dry white wine for starters. And we're not making it a late night. Why would we, out in London with a load of Ducati fans. No, no, home early for cocoa, us!
(where have I heard that before!) :saint::saint:

Party dress? - oh yes Lin:devil:
Nah - smart trousers for me & top.
Waterloo is a big station Lin - Zimbo will know - but if I get hold of Clint this week, we might settle on meeting at an eaterie nr the Haymarket.
Will let you know as soon as I do!

Don't worry mate, i'll be taking the girlfriend too so you can have all the ladies ;)
Riiiiiiight ...
I haven't worn a suit since my first day at BP - over 2 years ago ... Accenture used to make us wear them every day.
Anyone up for watching the rugby somewhere in the afternoon?

So, you coming to watch the rugby then? Or is that not your bag? I was thinking somewhere like The Walkabout Covent Garden but am open to suggestions ...

Kick off is at 3:30
Wales V Ireland
This is a chance for Wales to win the grand slam.
How much I like her depends on a)what she looks like (shallow, me??) b) how many stupid questions she asks at inappropriate moments during the game and c) how many beers she gets in.
HTH ;)

That could mean she looks like anything!

Good, should be able to watch the game then.

3. You buy the beers she gets he knockers out :)
I'd prefer it if she got some beers in and keeps the knockers stashed away.
TP, wants to watch the game

I can't make the launch evening now. I've got company for the whole weekend, although if it had been on the Saturday afternoon, I would have popped in for a few hours. Ah well, I'm sure I'll have fun without ya :)

It's life Jim but not as we. ..
Sorry, well we're going to watch the WALES game so MAYBE your company would be interested?
And it's in the afternoon ... 3:30 kick off, you know you want to.

Just waiting Clint to come back with name of place (is an Italian - how apt - close to Haymarket)

sounds good although 7 may be cutting it a bit close..we have talk rubbish on bikes for at least 45 mins then decide what to order a further 45 mins that takes us to 8.30 before we have eaten and then staggered to the cafe,.?

OK, heads up:
Location is open from midday.
DLS/DSC event is on the top floor FROM 8.30 - no entry to that beforehand.
Suggestion?
We meet in the ground floor bar at/from 7pm as bar meals are available - if anyone doesnt like the menu, we mosey off up the road to a little Italian for pasta at 7.30.
This ok with one & all?

I've always wondered......do buffalos have wings?
:puzzled:
Well, I will make my way from where ever I end up watching the rugby over to the sports bar (they have pool tables too! at least I think I remember pool tables ... ) at whatever time and then everything else will happen around me.
May go somewhere else to eat though, I reckon I'll feel like Thai.
How's that for a plan?

I've just realised where the Sports Cafe is. I've been past that loads of times and thought 'that looks like fun'. In which case, will try to drag no. 1 daughter up there for early evening drinks as per Fordie.

Ruth you are a brave mother with this lot ....;)
Just as a note, - this is DSC event, - don't let anybody think it is just a Desmo Due people only, although as I said at the AGM Desmo Due is for the entire club, it's a spectator sport!

Anybody fancy meeting on the train from Chelmsford? What's the last train back and how early would I have to leave the venue to get back in time?
;)

I'm still on for going. Not thought about any times yet.
antonye
15-Mar-2005, 21:48
Yep, will be going - will have to co-ordinate the train journeys.
Plenty of trains running to Liverpool Street late afternoon but the last one back is 00:18!!:(
If we miss that the next one is 7:32!
antonye
17-Mar-2005, 17:23
A typical cab fare is £70 back to Chelmsford - split between 5 of us that's not too bad at all :D
Martin is staying round mine so I reckon we have 6.
If you're planning on travelling in from the South-East by train, I THINK that Charing Cross and Waterloo East are closed, with trains being diverted to Cannon Street. Not nearly so convenient for the Sports Cafe.:(
Rocker - can you confirm?
Here's a linky thing for engineering works on the underground (http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/nexus/default.asp#weekendtravel)
Oh, and there's some kind of demonstration going on in central London too.
just read the what are you wearing bit at the begining of this, - jeans, smart jeans are ok at this place, it's shell suits that are the big no but as this is not a Suzuki do it should n't be an issue :D
