I'm still playing with the idea, pity it's a Monday although I could make an afternoon flight from Hahn into Stansted then express to Liverpool street, where would I go from there? Where's this pub? What time are you all getting there? And is there a cheap hotel anywhere near? I'd be on the early morning flight out of Stansted so as only to need one day's holiday from work, so maybe the answer is just to go back to the airport and kip down there!
Shouldn't be a problem getting a pass from OH, he's flying over tonight to stay with his brother until Sunday- they're going on a coach on Saturday to watch footy! So he can't really carp at me going to England for a pub party!
From Liverpool st get District line to Embankment, Take the exit away from the Thames towards Charing X and its about two mins walk. As for hotels i'm sure some of the docklands ones would have a deal for Monday nights
Changed my mind about this, regretfullyI won't be joining you after all. OH just made a Ryanair trip to London and back, the plane was delayed in both directions, then the trains were not running from Liverpool street so he had to queue for a coach. Plus last night we had the first snowfall of the year and Hahn airport is located in a hilly area 120km away. I won't be risking my car and my nerves. Enjoy the party, I'll raise a glass to you all at home by the fireside!
Wasn't planning on staying over, there is a train leaving Euston at 22:50, so would have to (cough)not get to drunk(cough again) , which could be interesting, did look at an open return but am to tight to pay for a hotel in that there London
The LG kit order has arrived so I am happy to consider bringing your orders with me on 16th providing you are happy that you think you can look after them for the rest of the night.
Entirely up to you, not fussed either way, but my responsibility for your kit order ends after I have handed it over

Can do it for 60 euro through old Ryanair.

A Monday is impossible for me but you guys have fun!
Ooops, just remembered this is the same day as Mr F's birthday so I may have to bow out.
Booo to all the drop outs
Hmmmm
Might just be able to make this, need to check train times etc
Am I right in thinking that the pub only does food at lunchtime and not at night?
Not sure but there are a lot of eateries very close by if that helps.
What ?? Eateries in London? Whatever next ??
Just tell him you're taking him to the pub/up to town for his birthday! Sorted!
Exactly, what more could he want
Eating? Surely that just gets in the way of valuable drinking time.
I did think it would be a special 'treat' Gladys.
Sounds like a plan, I'll get him a beer or few
Nah, its like making one of those posh puddings, you have to line the sides with bread so that the insides dont fall out
Meldy, that doesn't sound like a posh pudding to me, more like a sandwich.
Having shuffled my social calendar around, it looks like I'll be able to attend for a glass of lemonade or two.
Bump!!
Roll up roll up ....
As I am a stupid northern bloke, can any of you London types tell me what time them underground train thingys stop running
Around midnight, I believe. But then you could maybe get a night bus.
That's my belief but I am sure a cockney will come along with the facts
Where are you staying SA?

The tubes will be running, then, SA.
