Ok, lets go for it. Set a time and I'll be there.
Anyone else up for a meet?

It never gets started before 2pm and definitely never on a weekend :-)

I've not been for a drink there but it looks like a good location. Easy to get
to from Euston, Kings Cross or Liverpool St. (For the out of towners :) As for a
time, I'm easy and it is only about a half and hour from my home by the bendy
bus #18.
Do you want to wait to see if anyone else will join us before setting a time?

Regards

Heck, I use version 7...even 8 was too bloatware for my taste.

I tried 8 or 9 and I was impressed at the amount of bloat.

I love the Unix philosophy of making specific, lightweight tools that 
interoperate, rather than gargantuan monolithic beasts that do 
everything rather poorly.

  In a graphical user interface it's more difficult to make them
interoperate, which is probably one reason why they usually don't.

And also one reason why command-line tools are better for many things. 
(image editing probably not one of them)
