Ah Tom, you know I was trying to wind you up there :). The geographical spread of the UK population, plus certain demographic factors, would probably make such a result inevitable.

Yes, the London pub meet - by all means! Can we agree on a date, possibly mid-April?

Oh, and FWIW I also like the idea of the FT punt in Oxford. Even though it's partially because *even I* would have an excuse to indulge in class war rhetoric towards those others fucking about on the river :).

How's about having the punt meet in late May / early June?

I think its a splendid idea, can we wear red carnations?

i take it Edinburgh's out of the question, after Tom dissed the pubs on the www.?

Right - next question. Afternoon or evening? When? Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Weekday? I would suggest towards the end of April/start of May for the initial meet-up.

well, has to be evening surely?

― gareth, Wednesday, 4 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

But it has to be afternoon for some of us yokels to get home :).

Aren't there any other contributors in the Boston area?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 4 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

boston? nah! then what would the 19 year olds do? though i'm secretly looking for an excuse to visit boston... mary chung's ... drool drool...

i don't know about any of you but tim hopkin's "dead cat" pub (he knows what i'm talking about) is pretty freaky sounding. us north londoners will attend if jumper critics are banned.

No way am I taking you lot to my best spots...

Mary Chung's is kind of awesome. Actually, it's scary the number of really good restaurants there are in this city. (Bob the Chef's, Addis Red Sea, Mary Chung, Pho Pasteur, Chau Chau City, La Famiglia, Pomodoro, The Elephant Walk, Sol Azteca, Border Cafe, Tanjore, Shalimar, Kashmir, Dali, Tapeo, etc, etc.) Of course, since my wife hates them, I don't know the bars that well. Most times when I go out (and it isn't to a restaurant), it's to Landsdowne St or The Alley. Or Club Cafe, oddly enough.

This is gonna be one fuck of a costly round !

hmm. well, if you're from around here too, simon, maybe a local mini-meet could be arranged. anyone else up for a night at alfie's?

There's something quite endearing about this thread. When you think about how much has resulted from it, it's quite spectacular.

The lack of location in the thread title is cute.

this whole thread is cute.
