Thread: London Meet

    So are you moving to the UK or she to the USA?
    And I thought you were trying to work up the courage to propose to me.

    Assuming the visa comes through, she's moving to the US. Moving to the UK wouldn't be particularly good for my career prospects. Also, I'd have to be around Brits all year round. One of my professor's friends did just get a job at the University of Glasgow. That should be entertaining.

    Glasgow? You'd have to be around Scots all year round. I say with my Scottish father-in-law-to-be safely thousands of miles away and not reading this

    Well if you're in the North-West before you go back to the States let me know.

    Hey.

    I live in London.

    I tried to arrange with Tim but hes USELESS.

    Ive just moved to a place called Camberwell but I work in Ox Circus which is pretty easy to get to places from.

    Let me know what you guys were thinking. Would be good to meet up. More interesting would be meeting your fiancee. Not sure Ive ever met a woman who would be happy to be wrong for all eternity...
    "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink, because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.

    That was repealed. Obama said so.

    Lies.

    Have moved in with the missus on West Dulwich/West Norwood border, so pretty close to Camberwell.

    We should make this a 3 way then.

    Somewhere around Brixton would be central to the 3 of us.

    West dulwich is very close actually. In fact my local footie team is East Dulwich fc. Just missed out on promotion from Ryman league 1 south Ij the playoffs last year.

    Loki, are you out lining the streets of Bromley this morning, waving Union flags as the Olympic torch goes by?

    It's due past the office where I am today north of the high street in about 40 mins. Should be down the bottom of the high street by Bromley South station by about 9:30.
