. Does Sep 8th not work? I'm flexible in November

The 8th could be a possibility (sorry didn't know if it was an option with you :)

Shall we try for Sat 8th ? Is this workable for everyone?

November would probably be better for me, 8th is a bit too soon, but if this is the final definitive date I'll try my best to make it- just can't guarantee anything. But you totally want me there. I'm a hoot.

Of course you have to be there who else is going to discuss creepy secret clubs, horny winged monkeys, trolls and orcs with me?!?

So that's a second for Nov - any particular dates? Shall we start with the 3rd?

I'm pretty much wide open for Nov...

I shudder to think who else could supply the creepy club based winged-monkey banter. Nov 3rd is do-able, but I'll have to book a day off work, unfortunately saturdays are grafting days for me, sundays and mondays are my weekend. I'll do what I can though!

Have just shared the content of this thread with hubby, and even knowing me he's...a bit taken aback at how weird it's become ;)

Just the magic which is me !

I have suddenly been struck by the idea that our conversation is becoming a Monty Python sketch...and again I must point out this is prior to any alcohol being consumed - You have been warned!

Ive still got Cricket in september on a saturday. so november is better for me.

I'll leave the cricket alone for now but it seems to me that Nov is proving to be more popular so let's stick with that!

Any sugestions for the where this little sortie should take place?

Can I ask that it not take place anywhere that afterwards turns into one of those lame ass nightclubs where underage skanks in clown make-up show up? I don't mind classy whores but unlike Cersei I will not tolerate painted whores! Oh and as I'm a bit of a rocker chick maybe someplace that plays some good music?

If I had my way I'd be nominating The Intrepid Fox in Soho but I know not everyone rolls like that...

november 3rd sounds good to me , (winter is coming), tho it may be too cold for winged monkeys, mine always shrivells up, then flies south for the winter (like a heavily laden swallow). Wd give us time to sort a venue too , suggestions from londoners wd be welcome. It also gives us more time for one of us to win the lottery and fly the podcast hosts over........

Love the idea that anyone of us could actually win the lottery and get a podcast host here...not that mimi, amin or kyle would turn down an expense paid trip to London but that any of us have a Stark's chance in King's Landing of actually winning lol

You guys taking visitors from the continent or is this limited to Uppity-London'town'ers.

the more the merrier at the cockney-moot in my opinion

Hey anyone brave enough to cross the narrow 'sea' is welcome

Nov 3rd works for me too! Venue wise, surely we have to pick a pub which has an ASOIAF themed name? Maybe the Red Lion in Shoreditch. Other than that, I really like bizarre ancient City pubs like Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street which is built into cellars with big open fires and feels entirely like the kind of place Bronn would be drinking in. http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/ ... eet_Street

Cockney-moot!

Frackin' genius! I'm going to incorporate that phrase into my daily life!

As you are actually IN london I'd defer to you for pub suggestions - my only input will be that it has a decent selection of ciders (more than the usual chioce of one - Strongbow), oh and that thing I mentiond about the skanky painted whores (see previous posts) sorry guys

bring belwas and bynden(and any other continentals) with you if you like

This pub ain't going to know what hit it :p

I'm thinking of suggesting Waxy O'Connors nr Leicester Sq as a pub for the meet up - it's just so mad inside - any objections?

And can we get a head count of who is definately (or at least planning to) meet up in London?

do they sell guinness?
me and the wife will be there ,possibly my bro and son too

Pleeeeaaaase can we avoid a fake Irish pub?!

I'll be there and I'm trying to lure my Austrian friend Milkthepoppy to the Cockneymoot too.

Also should we/have we advertised this shindig on the APOIAF Facebook page? Presumably not all London based listeners are on the forums.

I am NOT on facebook so if someone else can add that pretty please

I make no appologies for suggesting Waxy's as no other suggestions were forthcoming unless anyone has a better alternative (that does not involve a 4 hour train/subway trek for those of us not local)

;)

OK, I'll post on the FB wall. Which mainline stations do people arrive at and then I'll find somewhere non fake Irish that's quiet enough to talk in but not completely dead and serves guinness!

You're a star! First round's on me :D

I'm traveling into Waterloo so any place in South/Central London should be doable

Ok, well we'll see what the others say, but if Waterloo then The Kings Arms, 25 Roupell Street, Waterloo, London, SE1 8TB is a brilliant pub.

I trust your judgement ;)

waterloo , couldn't escape if I wanted to
fine by me
