Who'll be the command central? One or two dudes should be just so it's easy to hook up in case some touristy new to london type swedish guy gets lost. *cough*
I think we should have to meeting points, one for the morning, one for the evening. I'm guessing meeting at the restaurant at a set time (7pm?) for the evening should be ok!
As for morning, how is everyone coming in? I'll be in via Kings Cross St Pancras...
Gir I still have your number, so finding you shouldn't be a problem :]
lol. usually our meetings are like... we meet up, eat, and go home. maybe a couple of drinks afterwards.
this time it'll actually be cool to hang out with some other PC guys for the whole day. anywho, we're allowed to be impulsive and indecisive at the same time. we're british!
Good point... I am literally on my way into uni and try and get a booked table when I arrive.
Is there a definate amount of people coming, or do we have a couple of people who may or may not make it>?
I am hoping to get in to Charing Cross for around 10 o'clock ish....don't mind hanging around as I have friends who work nearby
i'd say:
10:00 meetup for breakfast @ trafalgar square, breakfast wherever (seems like sausage n egg mc muffin is win?)
11:30 meetup for NPG @ trafalgar square
15:00 meetup to go to Forbidden planet @ trafalgar square
18:00 meetup for foods @ covent garden station
of course if people arrive before those times they'll know where the rest of the group is likely to be. and i'll be checking my PM's here throughout the day so if people need to drop me their phone number that's cool.
Oh god, so tired! I planned to come down a day early to have a meal with my parents, and didn't realise I booked my coach at 4am. I was wandering around London around 11 thinking, Damn its a nice day I should do something... Nah, I'm off home to bed. I hope I can stay awake tomorrow after this...
As for spotting people, greentooth should be visible, otherwise just ask likely groups of people 'polycount?' And watch their confused faces until you hit jackpot!
I haven't got a greentooth yet
I might be wearing my spandex instead
Gonna call GBK now.
Turns out they don't take bookings... if we can get there before 7 that would be ideal as they get really busy after then according to the dude I just spoke to...
yeah that shouldn't be a problem if we're meeting at 6 and then going from there. i mean, if they're fully booked, nandos is nearby, and waiting 15 mins for a table wherever we go isn't a massive issue as long as there's a pub nearby.
Hehe, hope you guys have a great day there. The greentooth was the saving grace for me, saw Andy standing with a (was it backpack or t-shirt?) with the logo, so I crossed the road and said hey.

I think it was a t-shirt/hoodie over my backpack
See you all later!
@Dan,
Shame you wont be there mate...i will eat some food for you
Oh my god you guys I am full of chickens and they are trying to escape!
That was a fun day, chatting brink in the national portrait gallery, oogling art books in forbidden planet, smoking cigars outside a bar but not actually ordering anything for ages and exploding glasses!

Oh yeah, sorry, typo: covent garden, not camden nandos, derpy herp.
I might just get in early and hit bodeans for breakfast, then do whatever everyone decides for dinner.
As for morning, how is everyone coming in? I'll be in via Kings Cross St Pancras...
Gir I still have your number, so finding you shouldn't be a problem :]
If anyone wants my mobile number shoot me a PM!
What is the popular vote?
Proper food wise... not fussed ultimately, but my vote is GBK for what its worth

Also, when and where do those interested meet up for the NPG visit?
Is there a definate amount of people coming, or do we have a couple of people who may or may not make it>?
