The Storm Queen Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 My boyfriend and I are going to stay in London from 6th of October to 9th of October. We two would be really happy to have a beer or two with some fellow board members.Our schedule is pretty flexible so I am sure that we could find a date. It would be pretty nice to meet some of you guys in person :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Storm Queen Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 So late! I started back last week. Or are you not from England? Too lazy to look at profile :lol:No I am from Germany. Our university system is a bit different concerning starting dates even after the implementation of the Bologna processTargh, saturday is a bit problematic because we have to get up on 3 am in the morning in order to catch our plane, so presumably we will be pretty tired in the evening. Are Sunday, Monday or Tuesday a possible option for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targh Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What kind of stuff are you planning on doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Monday or Tuesday might work but unfortunately the weekend is not doable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Storm Queen Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 What kind of stuff are you planning on doing?Oh, the usual tourist stuff, the Tower etc. Given our interests we will especially focus on the historical sights and less on art galleries or such. My academical field is conflict, terrorism and counterinsurgency so I´m looking forward towards the Imperial War Museum. I also have loved gardening and exotic plants since early childhood so I am sure that I will love Kew Gardens.Monday or Tuesday might work but unfortunately the weekend is not doable for me.Tuesday would be perfect for us. Targh, any chance that you can make it, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I will be able to make it if it's on a Monday or Tuesday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday would be the best option for us, but Monday is also a possibility.Btw, does someone know where the "likes" have gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Oh, the usual tourist stuff, the Tower etc. Given our interests we will especially focus on the historical sights and less on art galleries or such. My academical field is conflict, terrorism and counterinsurgency so I´m looking forward towards the Imperial War Museum. i did a bit of that in my War Studies BA over at King's College. I believe they do an MA in terrorism and counterinsurgency as well...fascinating stuff.Anyway! Imperial War Museum is a must see. It's massive though and I couldn't do it all properly in one day!

theMountainGoat Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Perfect! Tuesday would be the best option for us, but Monday is also a possibility.Btw, does someone know where the "likes" have gone?The board was down most of yesterday because the table that maintains who has liked what is bloated and buggy. It was a choice of deactivate the likes or no board. There is a post about it in the help section.So I think we have determined a date, Tuesday 9 October. Now we need a venue. Whereabouts in London are you staying? Or where will you be on that day?Also I recommend editing your first post of this thread to put the date in the thread title. You need to select "full edit" to be able to amend the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t you see the amended version?On Tuesday at 3am our bus to Stansted will depart at Gloucester Place. We have decided not to book a room for this night, instead we plan to stay awake which is better than sleeping two or three hours and then waking the whole dorm in the middle of the night.So maybe there is a nice little pub in the vicinity of Gloucester place where we can meet?

Targh Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Probably won't be coming along - tuesday's not good for me. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMountainGoat Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 On Tuesday at 3amI presume you mean Wednesday morning at 3 am, otherwise by Tuesday evening you'll be long gone? If you are leaving early Tuesday morning then we really need to be arranging something for Monday evening.Either way I think you've made a smart decision to stay awake for a couple of hours after they kick us out the pub, although I highly doubt anyone else will be able to stay that late.

I was so caught up in the difference between a.m. and p.m that I actually chose the wrong date :-) So of course, we will depart on Wednesday at 3.am.
