    It's a shame I'm not closer. I would love to come and meet you guys!

    And we'd be honoured! If Concorde was still flying you'd be just two hours away :D

    It *is* a shame though :(

    Harrio also wanted to come, and has even offered to send money to buy us all a round. If you're reading this, mate, and at the risk of everyone here killing me on the 1st, I wouldn't feel right taking your money when I couldn't even buy you a single drink back! So I'll decline!

    BUT - it was his idea to Skype up so that those that can't attend can say 'hello' :D Great idea!

    All in all, I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm sure we'll all raise a glass to absent friends :D

    Also, I'll be tweeting throughout the day at http://twitter.com/quantum_Sheep/ so keep an eye on that - will upload photos AS THEY HAPPEN...

    Isn't technology wonderful? :D

    So! Just a week to go!

    Imagine it. This time next week, all the local competition will have congregated in one place, at one time, wondering where the sheep is as one of them points to the sky.

    The nuke, launched from orbit (of course!), will have ensured a quick and painless death at least...

    Er...

    Damn. I mean, 'a good time will have been had by all'.

    Yeah. The second one. Definitely the second one...

    QS :D

    A few questions..

    Do we have a time yet?
    Is anyone else going to be wearing an orange string vest?
    Should i wear a name tag? Does it have to have my name on it?
    Will i recognise you all? Do you all look like your icons?
    Should i bring an axe? Does it have to be clean?
    What happens if i get sleepy? Will there be a nap area?
    It will be May Day. Have the country dancers already been selected? (I have my own stick and bells)
    Mum wants to know if any of the other mums are bringing cakes.
    If we don't bring a Macbook, can we bring other toys?

  • JCFordJCFord Member Posts: 785
    I don't see what the problem is. If we all wear our costumes, we will recognise each other? :-)

    I can confirm I will be attending the drinking.. I mean the meet :-) I will get the train as drink driving is not so good.

    Looking forward to meeting you all any showing off some of my apps in development.

    Thanks QS great job mate!

    Cheers

    To answer some of the questions:

    Do we have a time yet? - 3pm

    Is anyone else going to be wearing an orange string vest? - I was going to, but I won't now. Just so we don't 'clash'.

    Should i wear a name tag? Does it have to have my name on it? - If you want. Not sure.

    Will i recognise you all? Do you all look like your icons? - I look like Bill Bailey apparently so I should be easy to find, provided the 'real' Bill doesn't turn up. I need to kill Bill. Failing that, email me your phone number at quantumsheepinfo at googlemail do com and I'll send you mine. I'll be looking out for lost sheep...

    Should i bring an axe? Does it have to be clean? - axe is optional, but clean would be preferable if you do bring one.

    What happens if i get sleepy? Will there be a nap area? - designated nap areas are under the table, and on benches along the river.

    It will be May Day. Have the country dancers already been selected? (I have my own stick and bells) - London is no place for country folk. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

    Mum wants to know if any of the other mums are bringing cakes - Mum's gone to Iceland. Volcanic ash cakes (frozen) will be served...

    If we don't bring a Macbook, can we bring other toys? - of course!

    @Appchogie - no cost for the venue - there'll be around 10 of us I think (my maths sucks) so no real need to book it. We'll start off outside the Royal Festival Hall, facing the river in the big drinking area, then move on later if it gets cold/is !@#$%.

    Does that help?

    how many yes's have we got now?

    I shall be the man dressed as a man dressed as a woman pretending to be a man in a womans dress......or maybe as a man pretending to be a man dressed as a man...

    (is it too late to add a poll to the topic, for people who are definitely coming, maybe and no).
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    I can't add a poll unfortunately...

    Just DAYS to go!

    I'm so excited.
    And I just can't hide it.
    I'm about to lose control...
    And I think I like it!

    (v.tired - sorry!)

    Will the Skyping be video? I must know what Sheep looks like. Something like this, I imagine:

    Just a quick message to gage opion, are people going to make an evening of it as it would be good to "get on it" as the wife has granted me a leave pass for the day?
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    I think we'll see how it goes. I'm certainly not going to force people to stay into the evening if they don't want to ;)

    Oh, ok, I might for those that like that sort of thing :D

    yeah I think I too have been granted a pass...

    Still need to finalize the full contract details...

    the normal policies will no doubt apply:, no whiskey, no getting arrested, no strippers...

    (Which in my mind reads, hide the smell of whiskey with sambucca, run from the coppers and don't mention any strippers)

    Thanks to JCFord for putting together the list....8 confirmations...any more takers?
  • wayneh001wayneh001 Member Posts: 300
    @JCFord: Sorry, it'll be just me there on Saturday. The other me (in your list) is having tea and scones with the Queen all day :O `/that'll be fun!`

    @ AppChogie: Sounds good, but I've been enrolled in going to a restaurant and a show later that night. Where the hell do you get those mysterious `all day passes` from? I gotta get me one!

    Edit:
    Now Drapers got a PASS! Damn it! I WANT ONE! - Maybe next time?
  • AppChogieAppChogie Member Posts: 503
    Wayneh001,

    lol my wife tried the oh we can go on the London Eye and this show and that dinner, I replied are you on smack?? she said why? I replied how can you go from Eastenders and Holyoke's every night for the last 10 years to being cultured because I am going London. I blame the Andrew Lloyd Webber tv shows for raising the public awareness. So she said ok go and play computers with your geek friends and get drunk. I replied HELL YES!! .... thanks luv
