So Woolie has put me up to organising this. Opening gambit for Thursday 12th July at 12:30. Kettners was one suggestion http://www.kettners.com/If you want anywhere more like a pub, just say. I know some. Nearest tubes are Leicestershire Square, Piccadilly Circus or Tottenham Court Road building site. For George, the nearest Boris Bike parking is in Moor Street which is about a minute walk away Any takers?

No it's because my degree is in the wrong engineering principal  they reduced the length of the contract too so I wouldn't have taken it anyway. The carbon fibre there looks nothing like the stuff you see that's been added to cars for visual effect. Hence why I think it looks like Chavvy tat.

Certainly don't want to stay long in there - you can get fed up of champagne There are a few nice pubs in Soho: http://www.sohopubs.com/pubs.html

Not necessarily on the same day. I'm happy to skip Kettners and go more pubby..... only I know that Woolie and Woolders like the odd glass of vino and I was the only one supping beer, up until the point I migrated to vino. IF YOU INTEND COMING and have got an opinion (on the venue) then please feel free to contribute.

Beer is fine for me. I just seem to need the toilet halfway home on the train and the train doesn't have toilets. Must be the volume of liquid!

When we were deciding where to live, the presence (or not) of toilets on the train essentially decided the capture area. Being a bloke is tough sometimes.

I said it's got it's place and that is in weight saving and structural purposes - i.e carbon tubs / body panels. I've actually got a little bit of carbon on my fancy new motorbike gloves I just picked up!

I bought my mates old ones off him for £100 and next year when I'm hopefully done with falling off I will get myself some custom made Spidi ones in black and fluorescent yellow. Then I will look like a wasp!

There, when you've all forgotten about that & someone says shall we have just one more one of you has to say yes - we forgot to toast Molly! That sounds wierd now I read it back PS. Is there any topic that George can't sideline to his new favourite thing?!
