I will soon be going on one of my many semi-regular business trips to the Big Smoke. I will have an evening to kill in London on the 7th of November. Anyone who wants to hang will be treated to dinner and a few drinks, possibly a tirade or two by me on the all-encompassing subjects of books, film, TV and music.

Any interested parties?

I know Bete... I know.


Response was so overwhelming last time, I decided to use sarcasm to deflect any time wasters.

Anyone who would like to "hang" as the kids are calling it, is welcome to get in touch via PM, IM, email or carrier pigeon. I will buy you a drink, probably dinner, and perhaps, even (who knows!) a lovely parting gift.

I await responses.

I met Phyphor last night, and it was (in the words of Fujiko) "awesomecakes." We ate chinese food, had a drink, and wandered around London covering all subjects of import (i.e. books and films).

It looks like we will be meeting up on my next visit, on the 31st. The more the merrier, so... any takers?

Hehe - I was in London on the 13th and 14th. And the 9th and 10th.
