h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

(thanks for makign the descision, 14 May sounds good to me too, but I don't like making descisions so thanks )

I'll try update the meet page soon and I guess see if we can spread the word to get as many signed up as possible err maybe tonight or err monday or tommorrow I oughta be able to do that and update the meet page

Just updating the thread title.

Right! Must book a hotel room.

book hotel room yes ..

book a hotel room?; Off somewhere nice?

err

I prefer not to sleep on the pavement like you.

And no-one has been forthcoming with a sofa this year.

Anyone would think I was untrustworthy or something.

B

In theory I could sleep in the Thames .. but then again ..

I'm not sure about the weather .. it could be a bit chilly

I hope the bench in Hide park I normally book into isn't taken... Hmmm... I shall have to contact Roymondo and see If I can persuade him to come along to the meet, and thereby actually have somewhere myself to sleep

Is the meet one day, or does it spill over into into the next day? Where is the centre of activity, so I can try to get a hotel not too far away?

"As tradition dictates, and due to transport issues, the main evening meet event will take place in a pub in Central London: As for the past few meets, we will again be attending the:

Shakespeare's Head
Africa House,
64-68 Kingsway,
Holborn,
London,
WC2B 6BG.

The nearest tube is Holborn"

IF I can attend (against all odds) I will try to book a hotel close to shakespeare's head so the hippo will not have to carry me as far as the last time

i hope there is no law against riding on a hippo through central london in the middle of the night between 14 and 15 may

oh, and paul, the meet usually starts with one of two or more sightseeing thingies and after that we end up in the pub and fly home the next morn.. er - day

IF i can attend i will try to get more than just the weekend off to make the most out of the travel expenses. two years ago i even booked a flat for a week but that doesn't seem too feasible at the moment

I wonder whether I can make it a w*rk trip somehow

I've booked my flights now, so you can make me a definite, 2legs.

.. ride a hippo in the centre of London? Do I have a say in that?

Okay. I've marked the 13th and the 16th off on the work calendar.

TRiG.

May 14th will be fine.
I haven't looked into travel plans or accomodation yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll find something; so you can make me a definite (please).
And I finished my toy Dalek yesterday.

I hope to make my reservations in early March.

Accommodation is incredibly expensive and hard to find this time.
