The chickens are restless - London PC meetup 3
polycounter lvl 8
So, it appears that Uncle Sam has deigned that I've jumped through enough flaming hoops of bureaucracy for now, and for my next death-defying stunt I'll be jumping over the Atlantic on a kick-start motorcycle (or a 767, whatever) in about six weeks or so.
As such, I thought it'd be cool to meet up with some of you again before I leave for another evening of eating entire animals with gusto, shiny AO maps and witty anecdotes. Anyone else up (or down) for this?
I figured I'd post this now, seeing as how there was so much confusion as to the date last time, and knowing how long these things typically take to get moving. I know there was a lot of bold talk of shunning Nandos in favor of a steakhouse last time, so if people want to suggest alternatives venues, list 'em here.
Personally, Bodean's in Soho is a great place to eat, is in a wicked location and have the best damn sandwiches I've ever tasted. The set menu for groups is a little limited, but the table menu is a bit more varied, and even has some options for those weirdos that don't eat whole animals in one sitting.
So, sometime in November, somewhere in Soho?
EDIT: Date - Saturday November 20th, 6pm (ish), Bodean's BBQ, Soho.
If this date poses a problem for anyone, let me / us know ASAP so we can arrange another date & time. For menu / location, see links above.

Any time is good
Bring on the eats!
edit: As long as we have a concrete date! :B
20th? I like even numbers..
@Dan,
might be an idea to edit the title and put the date in there so there can be no confusion ^^
Also. I vote for Bodeans. Seems like my kinda place while Nando's seems like a place where I'll eat and then sit on the toilet and cry the day after. Can't handle my spice.
Also, bbq ribs. I'm all up in that bitch!
Ribs and steak? Yes please
Depending on how many people we're looking at, we might want to reserve a table in the steakhouse dining area downstairs. However, I think that might require choosing dishes in advance from the sadly-limited set menu.
Seating in the upstairs area isn't really meant for large groups, so I guess we'll have to see how things go in terms of turnout.
its meat what more do you want?!
sadly it looks like I will be travelling and wont make it.. for a third time in a row.....
If November 20th (Saturday) is a major headache for a few people, we could reschedule but I think it'd be best not to keep moving it around if we can help it, to avoid a repeat of last time's mix-up.
I know there's a few vegetarians among you, so if the Bodean's menu is a little restrictive (y'know, more so than not eating tasty, tasty animals), then we could look elsewhere.
Also, I have eaten a few times a Bodean's and it is delicious, (Dem ribs!!) I am sold on that.
All sounds great so far!
See you there mate
Flights and hotel are booked..
That kind of commitment and dedication gets me hard.
Guess that confirms it for Saturday November 20th. Where you staying, Bob?
I'm staying at a place called the Royal Eagle, which sounds a lot more posh than it is, lol. It's right by paddington station, so it should be in stumble distance from bodeans..
swanky !
at bodeans?
awesome ! I got some relatives staying with me too..can I bring em ?
but no i better flight somewhere warm
Depending on how many we're expecting, I'll look at reserving a table sometime around Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Might not be necessary at this rate...
Went out drinking in Nottingham the other day with massbot and a former work colleague. had a good laugh.
Doubt I can make this one though.
grats on the baby!
I trust you're not one of those axe-murdering crazy internets people.
Does ferret torture count as crazy?
And axe-murdering crazy internets people regularly admit that they are homicidal maniacs.
If only the victims of said axe-murdering crazy internets people would have asked the question and lives could have been saved!
Victim:Are you one of those axe-murdering crazy internets people?
AMCIP: Why yes i am!
Victim: Oh, well thats very nice of you too tell me! I think i will pass on this occasion though...Better luck next time
AMCIP: KTHX BYE
Im pretty sure GIR isnt one btw
well...it didn't come up in conversation at the last meet anyways...
lol
I bet hes got them ferrets grinding for gold as we speak. UPGRADE!
No, dude, that was the kids!
