16:18:00 - afternoon/early evening drinks Wednesday in London

would like to meet personable types for a couple of afternoon/early evening drinks Wednesday; within striking distance of St Pancras.


I have a meeting that I am not going to rush back from so will spend a couple of hours sampling beers before catching the train home (probably the 5 minutes to 8, but if excitement ensues the 5 minutes to 9). Anyone about want to meet up for a jar or a mug of hot and some talking toot?

Meeting cancelled.

15:50:00 - The Taming of the Shrew

The Taming of the Shrew
The University of Sheffield Drama Studio Glossop Road
17 June 2009 - 20 June 2009
(doors 19:00 curtain 19:30)

William Shakespeare's classic battle of the sexes is set during the final months of WWII when many of the armed forces are returning to England to settle down to their lives.
Baptista Minola, a wealthy shopkeeper, has two daughters; clever and headstrong Katharina and spoiled, pretty Bianca. Whilst Bianca has several suitors vying for her hand, Baptista insists that shrewish Kate is married before Bianca can also wed.
Two of these men, Hortensio and Lurkio, challenge Petruchio, an officer posted in the town for the duration of the war, to take Kate in hand.
Meanwhile young officer Lucentio, with the help of his friend Tranio, sneaks in to court Bianca secretly whilst his rivals are otherwise occupied.

23:06:00 - Potentially Useful

Not sure but think this is maintained by Stubbs (who was behind the attempt to clean up the SYPTE bus time app) so is probably reliable.

10:12:00 - Pub2.0, a social event for web-ish people

I suspect a number of people on here might be interested in this event a colleague of mine is running:
Pub2.0, a social event for web-ish people

So loads of people who like doing or thinking about web2.0 stuff get together and talk.
We talk about technology, social media, online behaviour, design and production processes & methodologies. As the evening wears on and the drink is drunk, we tend to start talking about politics, psychology, sociology and maybe even trigonometry.

Thursday March 26, 2009 at 7:00pm at the Devonshire Cat Wellington Street

21:34:00 - Possible meme error

As I have just been mean to [info]asw909 I thought I would give him the opportunity to get his own back.

[info]spiderwebliz was reading out some of the more, er, interesting singles ads from the Guardian.

And so a challenge has resulted for you folks: If you were writing a singles ad for me, what would you write?

23:34:00 - Not my cup of tea...

I am however sure that some people of here will be interested in The Burlesque Magazine. From a geek point of view it is nice to see people using the Ceros platform intelligently with click to buy on fashion pieces and embedded video rather than just a way of putting a piece of print media onto the internet. Must remember to find out how accessible it is.

21:35:00 - Hmmm

Watching the celebration of the great and good in cinema with a British tinge.

Then suddenly thinking about theatre with the mention of Waiting for Godot.

Thinking of going to the Matinee on the 27th or 28th of June, there are still gallery tickets available which are fundamentally reasonable anyone else?

Neil Gaimen has just revealed that Neil Jordan is to adapt and direct the film of 'The Graveyard Book'.
Various online news pieces suggest it will be live action and that a UK special effects house called Framework are a key part of the project.
