Morning all, I'm from Birmingham. No gags about the accent please ;)

(thankfully I lost the accent by living up north for a few years)

Hey there is a planned meet in London on Sat 14th Sept. Will post more info soon when I know more details

Duke Nukem 08-30-2013 06:11 AM

Hi all,

The meet on Saturday 14th September is planned to go as follows. We plan to meet at North Greenwich tube for 1.30-2pm and go straight on a cable car ride. That cost's £8.60 or £6.40 with an oyster card (25% discount) and takes 20-25 mins round trip. Then we are probably going to Ku Bar in Leicester Sq for approx 4.30ish. Hope to have a few drinks and have something to eat snd then a few more drinks.

If that pleases anyone then feel free to come along.

Sky_femme 09-12-2013 06:41 AM

Is anyone else coming to the meet Saturday?.. No replies here :(

Daktari 09-12-2013 08:34 AM

Hey Katelar, y'alright duck?

Yay another Brit who lives North of Watford Gap. Blackpool here :cheesy:

Maybe us the non-London Brits could get together sometime and do something that's not about 'having a few drinks' :tea:

Do you ever get upto Manchester?

agape 09-17-2013 04:01 AM

Hello...Anyone There??
 
I know this site is predominantly American and lovely as they are, I thought I'd give a shout out to any Brits lurking the forum corridors. I'm based in sunny Brighton so Hello Everybody! :england::LGBTQFlag:

Ciaran 07-05-2014 11:23 AM

There are still a few of us around - just a bit quieter than in the past.

We are planning a London meet-up on the first Saturday of October. Exact arrangements to be confirmed but will post here in due course in an effort to tempt a few out.

On off-chance anyone here who is London-based will see it, there is a Female Masculine Appreciation Society entertainment night being held at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern tomorrow evening from 8pm to late.

Promises to be a very enjoyable evening.

CyberStud 07-10-2014 02:51 PM

This time last year I was living in Streatham....just my sodding luck! :angry: Why didn't I discover BFP then?!! :beatcomputer:

Anyway, have a wonderful evening....I'll be there, in spirit at least! :)

So, like after years of talking to you in the old dash site chattoom I might end up meeting you? Sweet!

Redsunflower 08-15-2014 02:20 PM

Any more news on the London meet?

I'd be up for that.

Mr D...what say you?

Sat 4th Oct will be London (meeting place will be Harvey Nics 5th floor wine bar, I'll pick up tab). So easy to get from Brighton to London via Victoria or London Bridge. We can have a Brighton meet on the Sunday ;)

Aryon 08-16-2014 11:49 AM

Mel, you do not think I would let you come over here and not take you to Brighton do you??

Not sure...I posted a message on the UK fb page so I will post when I know...or Ciaran might pop in and post. I don't have specific plans for my visit to London so a bf gathering sounds great!

LOL...I'm fine with whatever we do. Brighton sounds like it should be on the agenda.

Yes, Mel has got it right - Harvey Nics wine bar at 1.30pm / 2.00pm on Sat 4th Oct. Attendance for B/F meets in London can vary widely (can often be very small) but I'm confident we'll get a reasonable crowd this time as quite a few have indicated to me offline that they will attend so, if even half do, it will be good.

In mid-Sept, I'll consider dining options if people would like an early evening meal. I have a perfect place in mind as it is reasonably priced, stylish, walking distance to Soho (for those who want to party later) and has an innovative ordering system which can be fun:

Hey BodyShot
How fabulous you're coming over here. Are you venturing outside the far south in the UK?. If you are I could well be up for a coffee. :)

I don't do bars...don't do bars with others who are drinking and don't do venues with people who have been drinking.

Ciaran, I will be travelling up to London to visit with Mel and while I am certain the restaurant you have in mind is amazing, is there somewhere nearby for those who cannot eat from their menu?

BoDy*ShOt 08-28-2014 11:23 AM

Mmmm... coffee! What exactly is the far South? Lol Brighton is as far South as I've been!

Brighton is indeed far south. As is London to me. Will you be hitting anywhere north of Birmingham?

I'd lay a bet that you're not! :cheesy:

BoDy*ShOt 08-28-2014 01:14 PM

I completely misread what you wrote lol.. ahhh. Birmingham is only an hour and a half
£12 train ride. That's like driving to the grocery store here lol I'll be there visiting my 7 yr old son and currently don't have non-momma activities planned.... so, who knows.. a trip north could well happen!

It's pointed out to me oft times, by my bff who lives in NJ, that our distances are pissant small to you lot! :cheesy:

Y'should bring the sproglette up here to ride donkeys on the beach.

Six and half years later and I still find them rather short! And still not use to only having one time zone!

Yes. Not sure how well you know London but this restaurant is in Lower Regent Street so there is a tremendous range of food places within very close walking distances and catering to all price ranges and tastes - though, of course, it's best to be guarded of the tourist traps that abound in this part of London.

I'm happy to take alternative suggestions if this place doesn't appeal. The food here is good but, despite my Japanese sister-in-law and half-Japanese nephews, Japanese food would not be my first choice. However, I think this place could work well as the dining tables also combine as computer tablets through which you place your order and so on. Sounds a bit weird but it is good fun and good way for people to get to know each other.

silkepus 09-01-2014 01:15 PM

Moving to London in just a week to study, going to live there for at least three years- I'm so exited!

Does anyone have any good recomendations on where to go an what to do there?
