honestly!!!!!

Only saying that because he tends to be somewhat arrogant and a bit of an ass.

Usually it's directed at me, so I'm sure all will be well.

Put us both down, Dan mate- We'll be there!

Of course. As long as you bring the sunny weather with you

How long will you be staying in London? Maybe Dan can help you with the accommodation? (sorry Dan, can't remember the name of the hotel you guys are staying...)

Mint Hotel Tower of London - right next to where we'll be meeting, prices are pretty good for a 4* hotel too

Al1988 · 15 April 2011, 08:16 PM

Well I've never been to a GTG but i'm tempted to try and make this one!

I can't guarantee my attendance as I'm doing an IB internship in Canary Wharf this summer so won't know my exact weekend schedules but If i'm free i'll definitely try and make it

Zed Homme · 16 April 2011, 09:55 AM

I tried getting a room at mint, but they don't have one for all the nights I intend to stay in London. They still had rooms for the night of the gtg when I checked though...

BH13GMT · 16 April 2011, 09:12 PM

Less than 100 sheets for a 4 star in central Lahndahn is a pretty good deal.
They may refuse a group deal if they think its a geriactric stag do!!!!!

Fearsome Puppy · 17 April 2011, 01:04 AM

If there's room at the GTG I may be able to attend, currently scheduled to fly into LHR on the 2nd, though will need persuade wifey to stay in central London and lose the family at some point during the day, has been done before.

Also, can I check if the mankinis are optional (they are difficult to find in Shanghai unless Dan has spares to share :)

BTW was staying at St Katherine's dock last week and had a couple of pints down the Dicken's - lovely place...

Excellent

Mankini's are an option of course....Dan has plenty - they are usually what he wears to work and he has an orange one especially for his upcoming addition

So - come ready to change clothes -

London should be OK for weather by then , we hope .

It certainly looks like I'm getting further away from being able to attend . Not impossible .. but if I have to pay myself for a San Paolo - London return flight I'm afraid I'll have to give this GTG a miss .
