Present, Dr John and Stephen.
Absent with apologies, St and Andrew.
We met under the shade of a cuddly Linux Penguin in a pub that was
surprisingly quiet for the time and location. After our introductions
we quaffed a bear or two and gossiped about the members that were not
here. (I told you all so :-)
We then decided to hold regular meetings and hold an extra ordinary
one when St can come down.
The meeting was declared closed and we retired to a very nice Spanish
pub that Dr John knew. So small that you couldn't swing a cat, though
why you would want to in a pub I don't know. Very nice the sort of
place where they put left hats (don't ask) behind the bar until the
customer comes back. A gem of a bar in central London.
PS John took a photo but he had to boot up Windows to do it. <g>

I forgot to say, if it was not obvious, that I enjoyed the evening and
stayed longer than I intended.
It is nice to talk to fellow Povers over a drink.

Nah, that's not gossiping... Where was the garden fence? ;)

LOL!! Mate, you just don't know how funny that was for me at 2am(ish).
*Cried* with laughter. :o)

Heh... Did the heavens open up? ;)
Guys, can't wait to see you both, but I fear we may not meet the young
one as he currently has 10 (or so) reasons for not being there. ;)
But I really hope he can make it.

Didn't I send my apologies? Damn no I didn't I thought I had; sorry I had
family commitments over the whole BH.

I'll have you know I had to say 20 Hail Linus's and 30 Our rms's as a
penance :-)
Its not my fault that Logitech don't support Linux :-) and the various
driver hackers haven't got around to supporting the Quickcam Pro 5000

free the weekend after.
Anyone else around?

It's the Jack Horner on Tottenham court road
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/43/4378/Jack_Horner/Tottenham_Court_Road
That means you can do a bit of window shopping beforehand :)

Yes walking distance I think about a mile.
The one way system is the wrong way getting there so no buses but you
can get a tube.

For electronics, computer, Hi Fi etc.

I wouldn't get on a bus unless you paid me. A lot. Like, enough to hire
my own personal body guart for the duration of the trip. :-P
Euston Station on the other hand is trivial to reach.

Probably, it is world famous in London. A fortnight ago I bought my
laptop there.

I'm free; I assume that's Saturday 12th April.
BTW Yoyo tech (I think I mentioned it to St. when he was talking cases)
is just up the road in Windmill St. Ditto CEX (on TCR) and of course
(makes sign of warding) PCW*rld

Don't mention Windmill St. It still has a bad name in the provinces :)

I was 'talking' cases?? Heh, yeah, you're right, I did with Gail & co.
:)
Hey, listen, I really hope you all have a great time on the 12th,
(especially you Andrew!) but I don't think I'll be able to make it then.
Things have changed dramatically for me recently, and yes, I need a BIG
break too. So, can we all meet up around (possibly) the 24th? I need to
speak to my sister (lives not far from Stephen iirc), because she takes in
lodgers and when I last spoke to her, she doesn't know when the French
couple are staying (they haven't made their minds up yet).

Works for me. Just post or mail nearer the time. I look forward to
meeting you.
