Re: Sunday's emergency social meeting?

2001-02-21 Thread Merijn Broeren

Quoting dcross - David Cross ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
 I'm hoping that the talk on Monday will finish early enough that we can
 retreat to a local hostelry for more general socialising.
 
This finally gives an answer to a question I had, about  why the talk
is scheduled so early? Getting myself and Damian from Canary Wharf after
his class ends at our place leaves about 20 minutes for dinner. It can't
be that easy for other people as well...

But now I understand! You just want to get into a pub before 11! 

I can see I have to adjust to english life still. I'll start right away
with another publunch today. ;-)

Cheers,

t-shirts

2001-02-21 Thread Michael Stevens

We've been talking about t-shirts on irc, and I think we should try
to get some ideas together[1]. Some thoughts to start you off:

Hash Bang Perl

Pony::Pony

PIMB (we've done this one)

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

Yeah, this would have been OK if you'd printed them on Friday morning,
and they were disposable. This sort of meme just does the rounds too
rapidly. I mean, how much would you laugh at someone wearing a 'I am
Mahir, Kiss Me Now' or whatever it was tshirt now?

I saw a t-shirt the other week that just had "-w" on it thought it was
quite cool. Not sure if it was a perl t-shirt though!

How about one with perlperlperlperlperl printed around the neck area in a

server money

2001-02-21 Thread alex


right, time to harvest some money

so far i have two donation in hand, making 100 pounds, with another
promised, so that makes 150 - a couple more and it would be more worth it
(no point in debating again what to buy yet).

so if there's any more people who'd like a prestigious account on the
london.pm server, either send me a cheque, transfer the money into my
account, or bring the money to the axkit talk tomorrow.

50 pounds each

cheers,

alex

You work in Canary Wharf ?  I work just down the road at Crossharbour ..
If you are having a lunch break on Monday perhaps I can meet you.  Drop me
a note ... oh BTW that goes for anyone else who works silently in the
Docklands area :)
