Anyone up for a London Poly meet, somewhere between the 3rd and the 9th of August?

Nah, she'll be in London that time, but I don't think she'll be willing to come. I made her register at Apolyton, but she haven't posted even once.

thanks to Peter Triggs for pointing me to this thread

I have a possibility for all those planning to do the London thing.
As Locutus and IW probably know i'm manager of an Internet Cafe in London and if you wanted i could lay on an evening(all nighter?) for a nominal fee.....hmmm...i could get some beers and fill the fridge maybe? whatever really. Normally we are open 9am-12midnight, but on the weekend we have a section of 20 pc's free we could use for some gaming(although it should be noted that the machines are not 3D graphics beasts - they do strat games ok).
I've got a fair collection of games, but i don't have Civ2 Gold - so if you would want to do some Civ multiplayer someone would have to bring the game.(All this can be sorted out if the interest is there).
The most likely time to do this would be from around 10pm untill 6-7am, but it just depends on the day and could be as long as from 12am(Saturday) through to 7am(Sunday).
For those needing accomodation there are a load of cheap Hotels in the area(from around £12ish per night) and a couple of Hostels too. The area is Earls Court which is slightly west of central London.
If this sounds like a good thing to do I'll use Locutus to arrange it through as i've got his email already.
If not then i'll be interested to just meet up and show you a few of the better places to go in London other than clubs and Buckingham Palace

I thought I'd get to see a Wetherspoon's from inside

[FrustratedPoet]

Ecthy: Despite what Bods may have people believe, Wetherspoons are nothing special. Hardly a tourist attraction.

Anyway, what's the deal with mixing Fanta and Coke? All the kids in Germany were drinking that stuff when I was there. Weird.

[Ecthy]

I liked it when I was 10 or so.

[Zopperoni]

Fanta + Coke = Fake?

[Ecthy]

it's too sweet anyway

[MikeH]

I am pretty sure I'm coming, not sure if it'll be during the day or just after work though.

[Drogue]

So would Fanta + Coke + Vodka = a Dummy (a Fake Kick)?

Thor: Sounds like an idea Our own place to hang out for the evening could be cool. Go to some bars beforehand (so Ect can see Wetherspoons, which may not be a tourist attraction, but it's cheap). I'd definatly be up for that, with some site-seeing maybe. What do others think? How much would it cost?

[Ecthy]

you'll have to wait for the decision of the organisator (Azazel) as well as the elites (Bodd's, Prov etc.)

[Makeo]

yeah pub first, would the pc's run ron?

[child of Thor]

well costs for having the room for however long would depend on how many wanted me to set it up, but i was figureing about £10 per person for the whole evening which would include atleast one bottle of beer, probably more depending on how many are interested. Duration would be around 10hrs assuming a Sat pm start at 10pm through to 7-8am ish Sunday morning.
This includes internet access on a T1 cable connection, 20 Lan connected PC's(IBM PentiumII 550mhz,64mb ram and 8mb graphics card - told you not mega specs!), but the only probs i've had is on recent FPS titles and i figure we would all rather play strat, as for RON i'm not sure, but i would guess it wasn't too graphics card heavy?
To do it i'll need a min 10 people intrested(to keep my boss happy ), so if any of you guys are intrested then just say so and i'll try to get it going at this end. For those that want to do this i'll also do a scope on the local Hostels and Hotels and give a price list of their rates and a contact number for them

[Drogue]

Azazel? What do you think? Be nice to have a place to hang out, if we get bored of paying London bar prices and stuff.

[Az]

I sorta wanted to go clubbing, actually. But if most of you wouldn't like that sort of thing, I guess it would be cool too.
