London area SubSim beer-up... Pics!

lesrae · 10-12-06, 02:38 PM

I've got to go up to London next month for a week's training at Learning Tree near Euston. When I'm there I usually stay in the Soho area.

If any of you guys from up London way fancy a beer one evening then I'd be happy to meet up - let me know. I'll be the one chewing a bit of corn and staring wide-eyed at all the big buildings and the cars (or I'll be in the Crobar - http://www.crobar.co.uk/ - drinking my arse off).

Lift one for me, mate. If you get a group, have a picture taken. Do you know the "Subsim chair trick"??:rotfl:

DanCanovas · 10-12-06, 02:51 PM

My training course is last week in November, looking at the 28th/29th. That's the only time I can make it up there due to work.

Of course, if those dates are a problem then others can arrange a different meet-up.

Kapitan · 10-13-06, 04:52 PM

Any date any time im there i live in london so its not a problem for me, but maybe a pub crawl?

Oh and my misses is coming too so be careful about what ive said and done on here

DanCanovas · 10-14-06, 04:24 AM

Basically you con some hapless person like a waitress into taking a group picture. You waggle a camera at her and suggest she needs to stand on a chair to get a better shot. When she climbs up, you pull back and let every one in the group take a photograph of her instead. If she has the remotest sense of humour she will appreciate how silly and conspicuous she looks and give you a big smile . It's great for international relations.

This young girl demonstrated what a wonderfully friendly people the Dutch are, and gave us a wave. I don't suggest you try this in Iraq, Iran or North Korea
