    London Drinks?

    I've been on CUK for a while, but never turned up at one of the events.

    Now I've just started a new contract in London, is there a plan to have drinks one evening soon?

    It'll be good / interesting / (possibly weird) to put names to faces - no, other way round, faces to names
    And on the eighth day God said, "Okay, Murphy, you're in charge!"

        How do people that don't know whom to look for find you? Do you have a CUK banner above a corner or something?

          It's easy, I'm the one slumped in the corner dribbling with an empty bottle of Jack lying beside me.

          Alternatively you can reserve a table for CUK and see which oddballs sit down at it.

            Oops, looks like I scared him off. Still, it's better he knows what these meet-ups are like before he turns up

              Really sorry but it turns out (letter when I got home last night) my daughter has a performance that I told her I would come to. Why the school only give a weeks notice of when its actually going to be I don't know.

              Sorry won't be able to make the Wednesday, if you can manage a move to Thursday, that is fine, but as it currently stands I will be in a theatre.

                Wasn't scared off - I was going to be looking for someone slumped with a bottle of Jack next to them!

                SM - I wasn't bothered what night, although Friday isn't possible as i'm on the train back up north to wife and kids!

                  Yeah, a lot of people can't do Fridays for that reason, and a few head up on Thursday night and work from home Friday which is why we usually do Wednesdays. Best thing to do is pick a date, set it in stone and see who can make it. If you try to please everyone nothing will ever happen.

                    Ok, will leave as Wednesday to avoid confusion.

                    @manclarky - How long is the contract. Will try and say hi at another drinks. Enjoy the smoke.
