October/November London Giraffe-fest

Illuminati Primus · #1 11th October 2010, 02:23 PM

Now that Nicole has joined us in the big smoke I wondered if people were up for a meet? It's been ages since we've had one. I checked with Lo Slung Denim and she was up for it. Others? Fromage a trois? Romola? Severe Delays?

Bueller?

I was thinking we could do another meet at a Giraffe restaurant, how about the one in Marylebone high street? No set time in mind, maybe a weekend before the end of October/start of November?

Sounds good. Can't guarantee to be there due to shifts etc. but if I have enough notice I can go and make puppydog eyes at a manager.

Lo-Slung Denim · #3 13th October 2010, 12:17 PM

Fromage works in London now, so might prefer an evening rather than trekking down here on a weekend....

I should be around though. Evenings probably better for me too, now I think about it.

Basically, the faster we all decide on a date the more likely it is that I can turn up.

Romola · #5 13th October 2010, 12:35 PM

Weekends are fine for me. Could we do a friday?

Illuminati Primus · #6 13th October 2010, 12:56 PM

A Friday would work for me as long as it's not Friday next week. After that I'm pretty much open to suggestions.

Romola · #7 13th October 2010, 01:07 PM

Friday 12th November? How does that sound?

Illuminati Primus · #8 14th October 2010, 09:34 AM

12th would work for me, say about 18.30?

How do people feel about the Marylebone giraffe restuarant suggestion as a place to go? Happy to book a table.

Romola · #9 14th October 2010, 03:18 PM

It's good for me.

Illuminati Primus · #10 15th October 2010, 05:22 AM

Anyone else or is it just me and Romola meeting up?

The Futility of Nihilism · #11 15th October 2010, 06:11 AM

If I win the lottery in the next week or so I can make it.

severe delays · #12 15th October 2010, 07:20 AM

Probably me but I can't guarantee it. I'll put in a request.

Lo-Slung Denim · #13 16th October 2010, 12:12 AM

Count me in.

Illuminati Primus · #14 16th October 2010, 12:14 AM

Shall I put the word out to the Dopers too? Or just keep it to us Raffers?

Romola · #15 16th October 2010, 02:37 AM

Tis SD but can't be bothered logging out of Rom's account...

I was thinking it might be fun to mention it to the Dopers too. Will you start a thread over there?

Lo-Slung Denim · #16 29th October 2010, 06:18 AM

Er, sorry. You'll have to count me back out again.

Reason one: skint.
Reason two: have to work early on Saturday 13th. (Not entirely unrelated to reason one)

Seeing as this was partly to welcome Nicole and she hasn't even bothered to show her face in the thread, I don't feel too guilty about being Lizzy Let-Down

severe delays · #17 4th November 2010, 02:57 PM

Tsk. And I went and arranged a day off work specially too.

Some of you tards better turn up!

severe delays · #18 9th November 2010, 12:59 PM

Hmmm. I'm guessing this is off since nobody else has been replying. I've rearranged things and will have a miniraffermeet with Rom and Poggs instead. Maybe we can arrange another raffermeet after the New Year when people have more money and time.

Kerryoke · #19 2nd February 2011, 04:53 AM

It is the New Year!

I am just saying like.

severe delays · #20 2nd February 2011, 09:59 AM

It's also just over a year since the last Giraffe-fest.

Actually, if we are counting the times that Romola, Poggs and I meet up then we probably have Raffermeets fairly often. If anyone wants to come along then they are most welcome.
