00:13.55 | pdr | doable, hotels in poprad will be cheaper in winter. they've been resurfacing the roads lately there too, and there's a pretty good motorway (tell them not to forget to get a motorway tax thing from a petrol station. |
00:14.53 | rhowe | looks like I won't be going this time though |
00:15.07 | rhowe | £400 each for a 4-bed apartment w/jacuzzi & sauna |
00:15.18 | rhowe | including flights, transfers and other stuff |
00:15.23 | rhowe | for a week |
00:15.37 | pdr | it's maybe half an hour to an hour to lomnicky |
00:15.38 | rhowe | It's not bad, but I think I'd best plug that hole in my savings :) |
00:16.06 | pdr | not a bad deal indeed |
00:16.10 | pdr | fair enough |
00:17.14 | rhowe | plus, I've got FOSDEM and a probable China trip at easter to think about |
00:17.58 | Leeds | assume that's mainland... |
00:18.35 | rhowe | yeah |
00:18.39 | rhowe | although I ought to do HK too |
00:18.45 | rhowe | Got friends there who want to see me |
00:19.07 | Leeds | Henry? Iris? :-) |
00:19.18 | pdr | rhowe: martina's just woken up - she reckons feb is the best time, march is too late and icy by then |
00:19.33 | rhowe | certainly Iris, probably Claudia and Richard too |
00:19.42 | rhowe | pdr: Well that's when they plan to go |

00:25.57 | Leeds | sure, if you're happy to schlep up to Hendon |
00:26.01 | rhowe | sure |
00:26.30 | Leeds | alternatively, make it lunch in townish-somewhere |

00:26.57 | Leeds | no |

00:27.07 | Leeds | :-) |
00:27.08 | rhowe | (15min walk from work) |

00:27.58 | rhowe | Leeds: I'm yet to find a decent lunch place near the gherkin which isn't obscenely priced or which doesn't produce sandwiches which are more mayo than sandwich |
00:28.11 | Leeds | okay, so maybe not |
00:28.28 | rhowe | However, I'm always willing to be suprised |
00:28.46 | rhowe | I expect there *must* be a decent falafel place somewhere around the brick lane/petticoat lane area |
00:29.46 | Leeds | you'd think so, wouldn't you? |
00:38.08 | rhowe | rain |
00:38.09 | rhowe | Lots of rain |
00:38.44 | rhowe | Leeds: Nothing in my "Cheap Eats in London" really |
00:42.15 | rhowe | Leeds: I'm seeing talk of the Hookah Lounge on Brick Lane |
00:45.03 | rhowe | But well, Sammi's is a known quantity and I wouldn't mind heading out of town a bit |

16:03.03 | trousers_ | Anyway, mozrat, how old did you expect me to be? :) |
16:16.40 | mozrat | trousers_: I dunno. Old enough to smoke at least |
16:16.47 | mozrat | and probably vote |
16:16.51 | mozrat | but not draw a pension |
16:17.47 | trousers_ | Hehe |

16:19.44 | mozrat | He is 15 apparently |
16:19.52 | mozrat | But he might be an internet 15 |
16:20.15 | mozrat | which means he is middle aged sitting in a manky London bedsit in his underwear |
16:20.17 | trousers_ | You'll see (hopefully) |

16:20.38 | mozrat | trousers_: do you have a blog? |
16:20.44 | trousers_ | mozrat: No |
16:21.02 | mozrat | k, just wondering |
16:21.06 | trousers_ | The only thing I'd use a blog for is posting my non-important achievments |
16:22.40 | trousers_ | It's really irritating as I'm the only person I know personally who uses Linux :( |
16:22.40 | trousers_ | So I can't actually talk to anybody about it |
16:22.52 | mozrat | trousers_: come to GLLUG then! |
16:22.57 | LeedsHK | where in London are you? |
16:23.00 | trousers_ | SW |
16:24.25 | LeedsHK | there's life south of the river? |
16:24.52 | trousers_ | Yes? |
16:25.16 | trousers_ | Which part of the river Thames are you referring to, though? |
16:25.27 | trousers_ | Considering I live pretty near the river |
16:25.41 | trousers_ | (well, not really, but shh) |
16:25.59 | LeedsHK | well, I was thinking of the wet, watery part... |
16:27.01 | trousers_ | I'm actually East of the river, but... |
16:27.33 | boudiccas | ah, Thames estuary then? :) |
16:27.47 | trousers_ | Kingston-upon-Thames... |
16:29.50 | boudiccas | I wonder where the Thames actually becomes the Thames estuary? |
16:30.07 | boudiccas | or does it ebb and flow with the tides? |
16:45.55 | murb | the title stuff stopps at Teddington iirc |

16:49.52 | keithlard | no, i know a nice girl that lives in teddington :) |
17:44.25 | andrew__ | the layout of the river is rather confusing round there. |

19:15.15 | boudiccas | mozrat; hiyas :) |
19:15.37 | mozrat | hiyas yourself! |
19:15.45 | boudiccas | :) |
19:16.50 | mozrat | Boudiccas, there was an article in the Metro this week about police in the US discovering an intruder in a farm |
19:17.10 | boudiccas | yes .... |
19:17.22 | boudiccas | is it suitable for 'Stress Busters' |
19:17.25 | boudiccas | ? |
19:17.30 | mozrat | he was naked, covered in olive oil, and oats and a horse was licking it off of him |
19:17.39 | rhowe | mozrat: ?? |
19:17.40 | boudiccas | lol |
19:17.46 | mozrat | he said he was satisfying a lifelong desire |
19:17.49 | rhowe | mozrat: That's not what I want to see when I switch windows |
19:17.57 | boudiccas | lolol |
19:18.10 | boudiccas | some people! :))))) |
19:18.20 | mozrat | the next day a letter in the metro was complaining about the use of the word "pervert" in the article |
19:18.39 | mozrat | asking what if the intruder and animal had been in a stable relationship |
19:18.43 | wethrin | :-) |
19:18.49 | wethrin | pun intended? |
19:18.50 | boudiccas | when we meet I'll have to tell you about the milk bottle & A&E, and also the egg and A&E |
19:19.51 | mozrat | wethrin - totally intended i think, I literally LOL on the train |
19:19.52 | wethrin | :-) |
19:19.52 | wethrin | What do you make of the new London papers? |
19:20.19 | mozrat | wethrin, dunno really. the quality matches the price |
19:20.33 | wethrin | Mumble Metro :-P |
19:20.40 | mozrat | but - they are readable and take the time away on my commute home |
19:21.40 | mozrat | boudiccas, i'll be sure to ask you |
19:22.13 | boudiccas | when they happened I almost wet myself with laughter! :))))) |
19:23.38 | wethrin | aye - I only got them last Friday, but thought LondonLite was a bit better than TheLondonPaper |
19:23.48 | wethrin | Although the typesetting quality of TLP was superior |
19:23.57 | wethrin | (does this make me a geek, noticing typesetting issues?) |
19:24.23 | boudiccas | whats wrong in that? you were comparing them |
19:24.37 | wethrin | Yes, but not in depth |

19:31.01 | boudiccas | at 16p a pint it can't be beat |
19:39.20 | mozrat | you cheap drunk you :-) |
19:39.56 | boudiccas | just shows how much tax there is on beer! |
19:40.25 | mozrat | true |
19:40.49 | boudiccas | and it tastes better too :) |
19:41.09 | mozrat | whats the ABV of it? |
19:41.26 | boudiccas | no idea, I've just started it |
19:41.39 | boudiccas | and haven't taken any measurements |
19:43.07 | mozrat | right |
20:10.47 | mikejw | hey guys |
20:11.11 | mikejw | mozrat: in answer to your question earlier... no :) |
20:11.37 | mikejw | should be transferring to sussex I think |
20:16.26 | murb | boudiccas: still not completely cheap |
21:02.18 | wethrin | mozrat: Surely the OG would be easier to measure? |
