[po, Sep 10 2010]

looks like it might be busy http://www.thisislo...tdoor-free-party.do
beautiful day though - anyone awake yet? [po, Sep 12 2010]

Count me in.

{Although not next Tues night, nor following Friday->Monday}
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


Can't do Friday [today] but should be more flexible in the next couple of weeks. Will be watching this with anticipation. My prefs would be Central London - maybe Southbank?
-- zen_tom, Sep 10 2010


central or south bank would be good
-- hippo, Sep 10 2010


south bank always a favourite - sunday preferred.
-- po, Sep 10 2010


South bank is good for me. Sunday is also good.
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


Sunday would be nice - (just checking - this Sunday?)
-- zen_tom, Sep 10 2010


Yep - could do.
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


Sounds exciting - I'm looking forward to asking [hippo] about his recent adventures in Cat5 cabling, [JinBish] about his recent foray South of the Border, [Dub] about spaghetti hoops, and [po] about recent and general pigeon activities.
-- zen_tom, Sep 10 2010


pretty soon now someone will suggest a date and a location for this…
-- hippo, Sep 10 2010


Sunday 12th. Oxo Tower (Bar). 14.00h.

How's that for starters?
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


:) [po], Does [LOST] know how to find the place?
I'm not so sure I do
-- Dub, Sep 10 2010


Easy - head for Blackfriars Bridge, and then aim for the big tower that has OXO written on it - can't go wrong (ha - I'll probably end-up phoning you on the day to ask for directions!)
-- zen_tom, Sep 10 2010


It was the first name out the hat (well, 3rd, but had better reviewers). I don't know how to get there, bug I saw the big OXO tower on my way home today...
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


not sure I'd trust LOST's directional abilities - but perhaps he/she prefers wandsworth common to finding its way back to the loft...
-- po, Sep 10 2010


Not tonight! Nooooo! Spent the week commuting to Reading (dump), and teaching this weekend, so no, sorry.
-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Sep 10 2010


there are people you know who are beginning to believe that [AWOL] and [po] are the same person!
-- po, Sep 10 2010


Well - we'll just have to do more Halfcons until we disprove the Po-AWOL Jackson theory!
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


[Dub] cannot believe that I have not yet met either you [Jinbish] or AWOL. The one I really want to hug is [salachair], sorry but I want to do the slosh with the beautiful one!
-- po, Sep 10 2010


Hey - I know where I am in the pecking order. And you have good taste. The members of the [salachair] clan are all great bods, with the fizziest of chat.

Well - maybe we can find a good excuse to persuade her to venture South. Never know - maybe get a bonus sibling too...

{I've always wanted to do a world H'bakers, past & present tour}
-- Jinbish, Sep 10 2010


sorry, you = my lovely [Jinbish]

[Dub] is of course my very best friend in the real world.
-- po, Sep 10 2010


{All embarrased,like}[po] Aw! chucks!{AEL}
1/x - There's no-one I'd rather be lost and confused with! - even if I do keep having to try to catch you out, [AWOL]
-- Dub, Sep 10 2010


easily arranged!
-- po, Sep 10 2010


//I want to do the slosh with the beautiful one//
Sadly, I've told you, I won't be there.
(We'd better dlete this one before the boss comes by.)
-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Sep 10 2010


Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the woods with a busted leg.I might have to give this one a miss(Or a airlift.)
-- skinflaps, Sep 11 2010


Are we still doing this Sun12th at the OXO tower?. I may be able to get up there.
-- gnomethang, Sep 11 2010


is it the same busted leg or a different one, flaps.
-- po, Sep 11 2010


[skinflaps] If you can get there by any means, I'd get you home (whereever that is!) - Give me a bell!
-- Dub, Sep 11 2010


skinny has a busted leg, and I an arm. What's up with us bakers? Who's next and what appendage I venture to guess?
-- blissmiss, Sep 11 2010


I'll be there at 2.20... I've just spotted [po]'s link. Looks like I'll have to get the big pointy stick out to cut a swathe through the crowds. Listen out for the screams and cry for "For custard and the Halfbakery!"
-- Jinbish, Sep 12 2010


If any straggling bakers are still up for joining us, we're moving on... Not quite sure where. Possibly the 'The Mad Hatter'... I dont have directions:- think of it as an initiative test.
-- Jinbish, Sep 12 2010


What a great time! I'm guessing some failed the initiative test. ([po] and [Dub] almost did too, but [JinBish] found us) - [LOST] was good to his name

Menu: Arduino x 1
CCDs x 8 (guess, certainly more than 4)
Discussions about business including custard discusions x numerous

Cheers, and don't forget - The first rule of HalfCon is... There is NO first rule for HalfCon, just an advisory note about general hygiene.
-- Dub, Sep 12 2010


Ditto great time. Top company. Thanks chaps & chapsesses!

Well done [Dub] for putting out the call. For any that missed it - we'll get you next time!
-- Jinbish, Sep 12 2010


//busted ... and I an arm// [blissmiss]

Defending the honor of the 'bakery? Do tell...

(Hope you heal rapidly.)
-- csea, Sep 13 2010


Thanks all - it's always a real pleasure to meet up with everyone - good company and chat - I particularly liked the 'Tomato' naming idea for Ian's 'kit-shop'. I got home and realised I was starving - should have nicked one of Jinbish's chips!
-- zen_tom, Sep 13 2010


[zen_tom] Yeah, me too
-- Dub, Sep 13 2010


[po], yes, it was nice of Boris to put that on for us
-- Dub, Sep 14 2010
