my only agenda in London, in order of highest to least highest priority:* be social and have fun* go to maybe a few dance vinyl stores and finally pick up some wax without paying "import prices" back at home* go to at least one GREAT vegetarian place (as I understand veggie food is pretty readily available anywhere in the city, especially the markets)

DB, you ARE aware of how deep in the toilet the dollar is compared to the pound, right?

Yes I am aware... this is why "import vinyl" in the states has also gone up, by definition.

By that definition, import 12"s from the UK should be no less than $16US.. yet they are still around $11US each. Are the dance record stores in the U.S. taking a hit, or are they just getting an amazing deal via the distributors?
I'll just wait til I get back to the U.S. to get my UK vinyl, in that case.
― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 7 June 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)
Wait for tomorrow when all the others wake up, they'll know how much. Berwick street is the place though.

Carsmile - are talking about Die Hems, that big Dutch pub in Soho. It will be fantastic for atmosphere, quadruple k-rub for a biggish FAP though I'd imagine.
― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 07:36 (twenty-one years ago)
No idea WHAT TYPE of change though.
But yes, hope to see Brian when he arrives - I hope the GRATE DANES will also be in attendance?

db, my fave vegetarian place is the gate.(http://www.gateveg.co.uk/) there's two locations-- belsize park and hammersmith. belsize park is a nicer area to wander around, hammersmith location has some tables outside in a nice courtyard. this is nice food that is also vegetarian, rather than being only health-oriented food. let me know if you want more suggestions, i'm doing research on this right now to select veg places for when my parents visit next month.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 10 June 2004 08:23 (twenty-one years ago)
Incidentally, the only games on Friday 18th are Bulgaria vs Denmark and Italy vs Sweden, both of which aren't exactly likely to be thrillers, so that might be a better night and we could pick any pub we wanted.
Any preferences night-wise, Mr Bitch?

Ha ha, just kidding. It was a great night. Wonderful to meet the legendary "It's Donut, Bitch!" and fun to see everyone with NO FOOTIE INVOLVED. Yeah.
― Apostrophe Catastrophe (kate), Saturday, 19 June 2004 12:42 (twenty-one years ago)
but many thanks again for everybody being so kind... off the top of my head, the people who ended up at kate's last night: kate, myself, gareth, ken c, colette, matt dc, william bloody swaggart (please tell me i spelled that all right)... earlier at the pub, rob bolton, stevem, martin s., starry, ricky t, mark s, mark c, cis, alix, tim hopkins, andy, and da julio d., and there were surely others i met, but they must have been downstairs most of the time watching the match. (forgive me if i did have a conversation with you and didn't mention you. there were too many to remember)

it was great meeting db, i promise to give seattle another chance someday. the most surreal part of the night for me was going to the troy club with ken (who was suspicious of where i was taking him), walking up to the bar, ordering 2 bottles of wine and the bartender asking ken if it was for takeaway. bizarre.
i'll post those pictures that i have tomorrow, is there any way to post the sound of matt snoring on the couch, which i also recorded? he he...

yes, clive, without support from pirosmani, he certainly looks to be floundering, the use on repeated second hand memes is never going to cause this defence any problems
well, thats right barry, at this level you do need that little spark, something unusual, and i dont think he's got it, i'd imagine they'd bring him off at half time on this display
oh without doubt clive, he's not at the races today, and withuot pirosmani providing the ammunition they look a second rate outfit, devoid of ideas

Actually, my entire weekend here in london has been fantastic.. and it's mainly due to gareth... who is the WUV OF THE INFINITY WINE! He deserves all the wuv he gets.
everyone around town, strangers and ilxors each, has been extremely kind and friendly and down-to-earth and very engaging. I'm in a haze of happiness right now. i'm almost sad and frightened that i'm leaving in half a hour to go to the airport to Iceland actually...
plenty of great photos too. will post them when i get home in a week.
now off to the puffins.
