OMG CANADA (also Pints)

[hellison]

Hurrah Flights are booked! Going on 8th dec, yay ;)

Which means (more importantly for now) PINTS, in London somewhere on Wed Dec 7th. All welcome!
Where would be good?
I guess much depends on where I end up staying, there have been offers of beds (thanks all!) but with Bags to ditch, an early start and the general inadvisability of having a Drunk Hellison in your house if you have to get up for work the next day, a hotel near Heathrow may be the best bet.

Tho maybe NOT St. Giles (altho it does have the advantage of familiarity). I'm on holiday damnit, I can have a DECENT hotel ;p One with a residents bar... Actually I think I still owe the barman in St Giles for drinks he gave me in feb after he'd closed the till. Wonder if he remembers.

Anyway, having finally wrestled a flight booking out of BMI - and believe me, it wasn't easy - I will be arriving Heathrow on the wed. at about 2.30. All suggestions of when and where to meet up welcome!

Hehe, the Hilton is booked out that night, but I can get the presidential suite in the Marriott! For about the same price as the flights to Canada ;p

Yay! Canada! And good luck on seeing moose or mounties, cod or caribou... not when you're landing in Oakville.

I have been informed that Oakville alas sadly deficient in Mounties :/

Will have to try and grab you online re. tracking you down while i'm there! Only there for a week, so it might not be possible, but we can try ;)
