Chinatown was also cool because I went in there by mistake while looking for another place. I didn't even know there was one in London.
Damn, I miss all of it. Except the food.

Oh, and don't listen to Mongrelman.
If anyone fancies grabbing a pint in the east end, let me know. Or anywhere really, it's just that I like the east end, so I'm hoping to influence things
Think id get in trouble wearing this shirt around town?
if you want to be noticed in london, you need to wear a gorilla costume.
last saturaday even !!!a couple of crazy dressed gorillas!!! bearly got noticed by most people (no joke)
never actually met polycounters, except for mop and spacemonkey every day
(neox,roulin, kio and xenon don't count)
Alright, what about meeting up around Old Street/Hoxton Square on saturday? Then we can still decide whether we want quiet drinks or drunken disco karaoke.
Katz: would that work for you and any other splashy fellows as well? Oh, invite Aubrey for me as well, would you?
edit: Let's say around 8/9pm? Maybe earlier if there are concerns about getting back home?
Next time mate. Honest guv.
edit: any idea why it won't embed?
Anyway, here's a regular link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Hoxton+Square,+London,+Greater+London,+N1,+UK&sll=51.500152,-0.126236&sspn=0.436845,0.884399&ie=UTF8&ll=51.528023,-0.081325&spn=0.006822,0.013819&z=16
Hopefully that'll work.
So, that's Hoxton Square. Might be a good place to start, as there's lots nearby. I suggest we meet up outside of a place called 'Tapas', because it isn't too crowded there usually, and it's pretty brightly lit. Here's a picture of the outside:
If I know how many people are coming, I could make reservations, but I suppose you'd mostly like to just check out different places, rather than stay in one spot?
mop and tully are far far away and tim isn't shure
If there's a next time I'll be there though
Have a good 'un!
See you guys there. Oh, and tell Tim to come along! The more the merrier, and all that.
