Should we investigate further? i drank in the elusive camel on occasion near victoria, its ok, its an office crowd with a wicker chair style deco, i get the feeling however they wouldn't like 20 drunk geeks - not quite cool enough if you know what i mean its the type of pub that turns into some peoples idea of hell when it is office party season -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net

I come from Slough and this will reduce my drinking time by at least half and hour I'd estimate :( I also usually combine my trip into That London with a visit to the PC Bookshop in Sicilian Avenue or Virgin Megastore on TCR, both walking distance. I'll submit to the popular vote of course, though a central London pub would be easier if we have to change. Why don't people like the PO? -- Robert

RE: Forthcoming Meetings - Summary
Sounds like they're just not accustomed to the social behaviour of geeks. We do bring in some money for them, though - on days when no one else would, so they better adapt to service us. In my experience it's geeks who are not accustomed to the social behaviour of everyone else (not necessarily a criticism). In any case, I still reckon our group is sufficiently large that we would benefit from an upstairs room somewhere

dcross - David Cross sent the following bits through the ether: Thu 18th Jan Technical Meeting - State 51 I'm willing to do, ahem, redo a lightning talk on the Perl Monger World Map. This time I won't be in the middle of organising a Perl conference, and it'll be much more fun, although someone nicked my beautiful prop :-( Leon -- Leon Brocard.http://www.astray.com/ yapc::Europehttp://yapc.org/Europe/ ...
