ms. ulty arrives over the weekend and wants to meet up and have a drink and see some London bikes and say hi

The original thread was here:

Anyone up for coming out on Monday evening?

We need to choose a venue

Yeah, I might well be in for that :-)

Venue: The Cross Kings just up York way. Bike friendly and I know the owners!

count me in. Not too hot on venues near King's Cross though, been a while since I was out up there :-/

Fantastic. Good location, so yeah, that'll be it.

I'll let her know to view this thread for details.

Oh.... 6pm and onwards good for everyone?

Wow - it's beginning to dawn on me that this fgss forum isn't a typical forum at all - people
do actually use it to meet up and DO STUFF! Bike polo, night rides, drinks...
Impressive...

Anyway - i have yet to show my face so i'm hoping to see you velocity boy and Ms Ulty and
perhaps other forumers on Monday... I only know Yorgo so far...

Will bring "she who must be obeyed" as well, if i can persuade her.

I expect everyone to be the opposite of your typical Londoner and be super friendly and
not "status competitive" ok!? (Don't make me box your ears!)

Rockin.

PS. Mine's the blue beater with white electrical tape stripes- on the chinstays.

lpg shitting crikey did you get your forum name from brass eye drgs?

yeah bit of a brass eye fan - but i just love saying it as well - i like the mix of old and new!
Tea and cake goes down a treat my way.

Also i wasn't thinking very clearly and just put in the first thing that came to mind... :?

I'll be able to come up to you on monday and say - hello - i'm Shit... ...ting crikey!

I won't be able to get there till 6.30 as I finsih work at 6 in CW. But I'll see you there.

I'm so excited for my visit! I'll be the one looking slightly lost, and without a bike.

I can't wait to get on the plane tomorrow!

What you have electrica tape on your bike chain stays! God that is so last year. I will out compeate you.

(I have electrical tape on my RH chain stay as well)

I think the only compition will be a drinking one.

ms. ulty I'm so excited for my visit! I'll be the one looking slightly lost, and without a bike.

I can't wait to get on the plane tomorrow!

you should be excited....we are the coolest cats in london:)
enjoy your flight,its gonig to be a long one..

...well and the obvious 'who's got the best bike?'

It's on my way home from work, so it'd be hard for me to say no. So I'll say yes.

If you're not super competitive about your bikes and style, I'll feel out of place. chifg.com is imploding - i give t.o.d. as 4:26 pm CST yesterday - and all the cool kids have moved to the invite-only chivolvo.com (someone bought a new car). Membership was capped yesterday. good time to leave town.

Chifg has been imploding for a while. Thankfully Ldnfg is steering clear of the flame wars and trash so far.

We're proud of our steeds, just not really competitive with each other. This city is too big (though I was heart-broken when I discovered a second yellow Bob Jackson in town... Hops, I'm looking at you!).

Mate, Hops is at Glasto at the mo so make use of this time wisely!

Is anyone in their flat? Let's go and paint the BJ pink! There can be only one! Mwahahahaha!

velocity boy We're proud of our steeds, just not really competitive with each other.

thank god for that, there's no way my old beater could compete with your machines !

can ms ulty be the judge in the concours d'elegance on monday night get polishing people
