London Curry Meet

[DeskJockey]

Speaking to @duncs500 we thought it would be worth reviving another forum tradition: eating curry and drinking beer.

We have a strict set of requirements for any participants, you must:
1) read this
2) be able to come on the day
3) eat food, at least daily
4) drink liquids, at least daily

If you can meet all the requirements you're welcome to join us! Gauging interest, it is likely to be a weekday and in London.

Can we have an initial show of hands (no rude gestures) to indicate interest?

Curry can be substituted if there's agreement or we can end up at somewhere like https://mercatometropolitano.com so everyone can get what they want and we'll grab a big table.

In principle yes I’m down for this deffo food and as for beer I’m an utter lightweight so maybe

[duncs500]

Yep, keen.

[IanF]

Count me in!

[GG.]

Same for me. Point 2) is vulnerable if we're talking about a weekday evening but I'll try my best.

[Explosive Newt]

Great initiative! Count me in and I'll see what I can do!

[DeskJockey]

Excellent!

Monday, Tuesday and Friday are the best days for me. First or second week of June work?

(state what you can do in the poll)

[Jimexpl]

I'm down for this as long as I'm not working on a boat in Hamburg.

Well, if you were, you'd fall foul of 2) and therefore be ineligible to attend. So, let's hope that's not the case!

[Gavster]

For some reason my work and social life is suddently very active in the first couple of weeks of June I've put down a few dates which should be fine.

[JonMad]

Very much up for it if it's on a day I'm working in London, but those are pretty sparse at the moment.

What happened to 6 pints in The Brown Bear and then next door to The Empress a feed and homemade vodka chilli shots?

[DeskJockey]

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing about 20 years?

[unzippy]

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing about 20 years?

Nathan's database says at least 21

I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I wouldn't be able to tell if you've changed in the intervening years.



(as we've never met in person)

08/02/2005, in The Brown Bear.

[DeskJockey]

And you're which one?

[unzippy]

The one holding the camera!

I, personally, find it very interesting from a sociological point of view that, aside from the few brave enough to post pictures of themselves, I have no idea what race or religion anyone is on here.

I've been posting here and on previous iteration of the board for 20+ years now and I have absolutely no idea.

In the spirit of increasing my knowledge, can someone put names to those faces ??
