    Time: 4pm
    Location: Cittie of Yorke, 22 High Holborn (near Chancery Lane)

    I'll be in Mallorca that week.

    Is that for the UK NFL game?

    How are you doing in Yahoo fantasy this year - I'm on 493.88 points at the moment and should have been 3-1 if it wasn't for coming up against SF's Defence (50pts!!!) and Mendenhall having his breakout game for the Steelers (35.10)...

    Too bad, if you're stopping by Amsterdam on your trip, let me know!

    Yea, it's for the UK NFL game. I have to be present since my beloved Pats are playing!

    Fantasy is going well. 2-2 here at Poly, but kicking ass at FFZ with 4-0, 4-0 and 3-1

    Yeah, for a change I am in London and not in Mexico City. However on the Thursday I am in Switzerland so I won't be able to do then, but either of Friday or Saturday are fine for me!

    I too will be in London (seeing as I live here) and not Mexico City (Seeing as I don't live there) so I should be able to make it!

    OK, here's the plan:

    Date: Saturday, October 24
    Time: 4pm
    Location: Cittie of Yorke, 22 High Holborn (near Chancery Lane)
    Attendees: PH, Gibsie, Cort Haus (and Zopp)

    I'll see if Snotty can make it as well.

    Maybe I'll drag y'all to the Duke of York after a cheap pint or three in the Cittie. Probably the only original Art Deco interior (and exterior) pub left in London.

    Perhaps via the Griffin for some dancers.

    Duke of York? Cittie of York? I can tell you Londoners really want to be Yorkshiremen at heart

    Does the Duke of York still have the Thai food? And is it still the haunt for all the posties?


    And Rich, just around the corner there is also the Yorkshire Grey.

    It's not Thai food at the DoY, thank goodness. Good pub food and huge portions last time I was there.

    Yorkshire Grey is a bit shouty on a Friday. Might be better on Saturday. It feels too much like a bar though, rather than a pub.

    When I was working on Gray's Inn Road the Red Lion was our usual stop off. Or was it Blue? It's been a while

    And I never did visit the Griffin.

    Yorkshire Grey? I'll have you know there's nothing grey about Yorkshire

    So anyone else up for this?

    I don't know that I can make it. If I show I show, if I don't I don't.

    He's been rather conspicuous by his absence...but I can send him a quick text message if required.
