Looks like I may be in London UK this weekend...
polycounter lvl 19
Through a fluke chance, suddenly it looks like I may be in London (maybe Friday night)Saturday and part of Sunday.
I'll likely be busy much of the day Saturday on business, but would love to meet up with a Polycounter or two in the London area that night if it can be arranged.
This will be my first trip to England, and heck, the European continent.

Would you be interested in dinner somewhere as well, or is that part of your business? There are plenty of decent places ranging from the cheap and cheerful to the grossly-expensive-but-delicious. If so, any preference for cuisine?
I'm apparently visting some kind of local amusement park called Alton Towers.
If anybody would like to accompany me there as well on Sunday, you're welcome to come with I think.
My "business" there, no shit, constitutes riding rides, eating the food, taking vacation photos, having a good time, and then writing a report about it later.
It'd be rad too since I'm always nervous driving on the wrong side of the road, on the wrong side of the car and have never been to the UK.
I fly back outta Heathrow early Monday afternoon.

edit: lol alton towers is nowhere near london, it's up past birmingham (it'll be about an hour and a half/2 hour drive).
but it's a pretty fun park, nothing compared to what's available to you in the states, but it's good for us here. http://www.altontowers.com/pages/plan-your-visit
I tihnk driving will be abit of a shock what with different layouts and all (not sure how much you are used to round abouts) but rememeber LEFT LEFT LEFT!
As for Alton Towers itself, it's pretty good fun, some rides are better than others, I reckon it probably has nothing on many USA theme parks like Six Flags or whatever, though.
my condolences. and FYI it's not exactly part of "the continent".
As for the cars and the roundabouts, I've spent a few weeks driving in Australia, so it wont be my first time on the "wrong side".
And, heh yeah I know it's not technically on the continent, but I think you know what I mean. First European country I've visited, hows that? :P
Tully was planning on going shopping on Saturday afternoon, and I need to pick up some new guitar strings in London anyway, so we can probably meet up in the afternoon, have lunch or just a coffee if your lunch is already taken care of, and maybe do a bit of trolling around interesting London shops?
also, same goes as with mop, if he doesn't mind the extra company i'll just meet both of you somewhere and troll around a bit.
HOWEVER.
talking her into going to alton towers tomorrow should be friggin easy :P
Sorry we couldn't have had a bit more time to spend, with a better idea of where we wanted to go, heh. Would also probably have been better if your camera wasn't broken, Scoob
we need a UK polycount meetup! i'll put up the couple of pics i took later on. had a lot of fun!
oh and MoP, dinner is on me next time!
QFT.....been far to long since ive taken the hop to London for a good drinking session with like minded people.

As soon as I get around to developing these disposable cameras I used I'll post the 1 or 2 relevant photos I got as well.
