Nostalgic memories of watching the little girl and the robot after school way back in 2003

So, Polo was saying it's also Gay Pride that day, dunno if y'all fancy it? I ain't never been before, and I like the sounds of it so I will prolly head off for a couple of hours.

Polo too? Cool!

It's Pride that day? Hm. London's going to be busy then, so we'll just have to stick off-route a bit. Pride's a nice day out, but I'm not sure I fancy doing that next week.

London Pride's a bit disappointing IMO. I don't know why, we just don't seem to kick out the jams as much as other cities.

Forgot this would be popping up.

Terribly selfish of me, I know, but Bumeyes McGee encorporated can only be at the meet until about half four/ fiveish- so I wondered if we might be able to do something interesting and cool after meeting up instead of the usual Camden thing?

I think the plan was to head to the park rather than wandering Camden. I'm not sure if there was a plan B for rainy weather contingencies.

I'm travelling by coach, so may be plus or minus some time depending on the traffic. I've got Pat and Bumface's numbers, and probably a few others

Y'all can come back to mine if it rains? Or we could go look indoor stuff. Science Museaum, anyone? Anwho- see y'all in a few hours

Thanks for doing the organising Froggie, I had a great time!

Demoness: we had a wander around the market but couldn't spot you. Send me your mobile and we'll make sure to give you a ring make time!

Who says I need a phone? >_>

It was nice and sunny and lots of fun.

I just wanna reiterate what we toasted to:

moop being head hunted for a job
cand getting leave to remain
Spuss starting a course
Witless completing his degree
Rob (not sure of his forum name) starting a new job
Mata completing the final edit of his book
Polo starting a new job
Commie getting on to a masters
my getting a new job and place to live
Ryn & Smiler getting married

XD Lot's to celebrate! Pics?

That'll be me. Yup, only just registered.

*duct tapes to the ceiling according to tradition*

Rob, that icon is very appropriate. No one in Order of the Stick knows what it is, and at every meet at least one person asks me who you are.

Well dont ask me I've not a clue who he is...

So... Who is he again?

I really did have a lovely time this weekend. I know I said that before, but I think it was just what I needed. A nice chilled afternoon with friends in London. Groovy times.

Twas a good day *highfives*

Am in there like swimwear for the next one...I'm up for some serious clubbing times! The Matameet where we ended up in Slimelight was rather wonderful

...for the person who could disappear to sleep somewhere at about 2am, I'm sure it was!

Here is a link to a few other pics taken by myself that I have been slack in linking to.

the pictures are great!! it looks like everyone had a fantastic time!! i'm so jealous that i don't live in England, so i can never go. ONE DAY i really will come to London and then meet up with you all!
