Any of you guys local to London fancy meeting up for a chrissy pissup in town somewhere?

I had this spark of inspiration while at Renegade yesterday, who don't have a do planned! After some gentle persuasion from me and Tomo, Jorge agreed that thier free on Sat 14th Dec, and may even be up for soho rather than his local

So anyone up for this? Personally I think the chance to catch the PowerMaster pissed is unmissable, and apparently doesn't take much

Great idea Dave!!!

Allthough I am very close to London (Uxbridge) I won't be able to make it cause I have exams starting on the 16th!!!
But I think that you guys will have a great time...
Hope we can arrange something like that again sometime

Regards Nitro

Pardon? ic,

I meant to put it on the Rene site, but just did not have the time.

It's true the only date I have available is Sat the 14th, I think the idea is super, just get the venue, if you guys can afford a dinner I could try and book a table at one of my favourites, I can promise that none of you will regret. Maybe £20 ahead.
Hammy can vouch for this




Nitro, no excuses you can stay in my place and go back Sunday, the offer is open to anyone else who would need a bed for the night.

I don't know who any of you are... but I own an RSV and wouldn't mind getting pissed and talking Bikes/Bollocks in London with you guys for Christmas.

Any idea of a venue?

Venjer is the king of London Venues
It looks like some guys from with SVs are also meeting on the 13th near Soho Square, not really sure if according to Hammertime the SV can be classified as "Bike/bollocks"

As for dinner, there is this Portuguese place in Camberwell by the Oval that has some good "firewater" as Hammy found out

Hey Jorge, if everyone pitches in for an airfare to London, I'll be there!

Any excuse for a pissup and feed! Even it is on the otherside of the world! Damn Aussies, always in for a freebie!

Jorge, whats the name of that Restaurant in Oval?

I'm off to the Pro Skate4 (some video game) launch party tonight and need to stop off somewhere for food on the way upto Kings Cross and you being Spani...... I mean Portuguese I can only imagine it's of high quality. Whats firewater? vodka?? or is it some kind of potato moonshine shit?

Also, I can't do the 13th dec either unless some of you want to see a gig. Band are called Menlo Park, the venue: the union chapel in highbury.

We can be like the hells angels. I'll see if we can sort riding into the stage, smashing the place up and picking up loose women..

Jorge, why don't we do what you origionally said ie meet up in that bar in soho where the bikes meet - corner of compton and greek street was it? Say between 8 and 9, and if anyone wants to turn up unannounced they know where we are(and gets the next round)

Bef, next time! And don't worry, we'll be doing a toast in your honor tho what exactly the wording of said toast wuld be I can't imagine

This is just typical....

Party I was supposed to be attending on the 14th is now cancelled.... but my office decided to throw a party on the 13th (free booze etc. from 1pm) so I will definately not be in a fit state by the time the evening arrives

CRM go away you are not invited
I still, can not figure out how many are going?
The best place to park would be Soho Square, I would say, from 8 to 8.30, if anyone is going to be later than that, I would suggest a mobile number to get in touch with the rest of us.
I only have a foreign mobile so that is not very good as the call would have to be international.
Anyone?

List going, so far.
Me
Webmaster (Hammy)
Hammertime?
Jotaman
Dave
Scotty?
Nitro?
Tinky?

I'll try my best but I may not make it.. esp when the office party (i.e. free booze) starts at 1pm.

Dave I will try (honestly) to call you Friday afternoon to say for sure if I'm gonna be there.

If I don't make it please accept my appologies as I'll be too p*ssed to navigate or use a mobile

BTW I'm still suffering from Falco withdrawal as its still sitting in the dealer waiting for datatool to send a new immobiliser. 8days and counting....
Only positive thing is that no bike = more afterwork beers!

Scotty, Steve's been hassling the boss (Ray?) about that among other things (believe me!), don't know if you've been on the phone to them since but I suggest you do so, and don't ask for Steve, he's sic of trying to hassle them to do stuff, you might also want to call Datatool yourself to check progress. I do know for sure its been sent, and I've also had reason to contact datatool in the past and found them willing and helpfull.

Steve's a good guy which is why I've recommended Harry Nash in the past, but his boss is not the cleverest as far as looking after staff and customers is concerned. For that reason, Steve's leaving 1st Jan, and I'll be going to Renegade for future work.

I won't be there, I have plans both Friday and Sat. Normally I would cancel but one is a gig and another my work Chrimbo doo. I have no get out clause for either event.

Also, I must say that I got my Meta alarm fitted by a fella that came to my house after work and had fitted 2500 such alarms, took him an hour and cost me a cup of tea and a can of Red Bull. This service was included in the price of the alarm which was £265 for a Meta 357T. Soz Scotty as I'm sure it's too late but in case:
http://www.bikesecure.co.uk/pages/about_us.html

It's a simple process; phone the number, order the alarm, then you tell them when and where in the next 5 days you want it installed. I got mine done the next evening. A treat to deal with.

Dave, just phoned and spoke to Tony (the other guy in the office) whos dealing with me.
He says that he phoned datatool late yesterday and they promised to sort out sending the replacement in the next couple of days i.e. should be tomorrow.
Anyway he suggested I call back tomorrow afternoon to see and if nothing had arrived he would pass me datatools details and I'll call them directly to chase them up as well.
