    Pretty sure I'll be able to make it.
    Last meet up we all wore safety pins on lapels, but I didn't see them, luckily Caterina saw me otherwise I'd have been going up to every and anyone!
    Maybe we should have a slow cooker as a centre piece on the table this time??

    We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................


  • i believe the badge of honour for an OS'r is a safety pin on the lapel! ([STRIKE]will try and find the thread discussing it[/STRIKE])

    if the weather has eased i'll be there, haven't been up to town for ages and i do like the moon, has a good atmosphere about it.

    :D

    Lol thanks for that, it's given me a laugh! :p
    :D**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

    I'd love to come, if only to see if the pics posted by Haribo do you justice Aussie :rotfl: but like Heavenleigh I'm up in the midlands too and although I love London its just a bit too far for a day trip.

    Loving the idea of having a slow cooker as table decoration :rotfl: sounds like the sort of thing I would do, nicely arranged with veg around the side and maybe a t-towel flower adorning it.

    I hope loads of people are there and you all take loads of photos will look forward to seeing them on here and FB.

    I think it would be worth the journey Jak if only to see if Aussie and Churchie wear the same outfits they wore last time. :whistle:

    I'm not coming by the way. :p

    Don't count me out yet folks...I can get to either Stansted or Gatwick for €40 return, now just have to work out which is nearer to centre city...would just be coming for day as I can't see us getting back to Oz for a while and would love to see you again Aussie as well as all you folks who are hoping to be there....think that I am becoming addicted to this meet up idea!

    That's great Marie & to everyone that will be able to make it. Be great to have a knee's up. :D

    Haribo Be too cold to wear the sequin outfit this time. :rolleyes: Thought I might wear my tracksuit instead. I'm sure CM has a fetching one as well. :D
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    OK Aussie, you don't think we should wear these matching outfits then? Maybe something a little more boring;)

    ( psst Aussie, Haribo's photos show us in our Pearly Queen outfits, decorated with pearly buttons, not sequins ;):D)

    I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you :D Aussie is a good deal younger than me, and half my size. She may do tracksuits, as a fattie, I don't :p

    Meanmarie, do your very best to come, I couldn't make the Blackheath meet, but regretted not being able to meet you.

    Marie - Gatwick is the nearest to central London, I'd recommend you fly there. You can get a train from Gatwick to Victoria Station in London which is fast but quite pricey, or you could get a coach, which also stops a couple of miles from the pub and which is slow but cheap. A black cab would complete your journey, unless you're brave enough for a bus or tube ride.

    I wish I was going....I simply can't afford it right now, but I'm sure you'll all have a blast.
