Tsk, you should know we Canadians travel often. :D

Yes, yes, I forgot. :P

Btw, I recently bought a book on Geology and almost bought a Geological map of the British Isles. (Coincidentally while browsing in a bookshop with another Lusternian.) and I blame you for reminding me that I find geology and geography interesting :P

I loved geology with a passion, but rather disliked geography, funnily enough. One would expect both to go hand-in-hand.

I still find myself looking at rock formations today and going, "Hrm....Igneus." or "Ahhh! Sedimentary."

Reminiscing my student days is now over.

Mine should be over, but I decided to keep studying. :D

Quite a shame that the OU are putting their prices up in line with other Uni's though :(

On a more on-topic note, is everyone happy with the 27th Jan being a Friday? Would people prefer Saturday the 28th in terms of travel?

I'm fine with both, but then I've only got a 45 min tube ride. :)

I have to come down from Liverpool this year, rather than a ten minute tube ride. (Was only in Camden last year.)

I should maybe start checking prices now, actually. Get the cheaper tickets and all that.

Where are we meeting? Has anybody discussed that yet? Same place as usual sounds sensible to me. Thoughts?

So, I am going to suggest:

SATURDAY 28TH JANUARY 2012

2PM

Cittie of Yorke pub in Holborn. (Same place as the last two years)

We only have 5 votes for the Saturday... can someone definitely not make it this day?

Saturday 28th sounds excellent. :)

Hahaha, the pub is literally a 10 minute walk from where I'm staying! :)

I guess I'll be staying at yours then! How very kind of you to offer your convenient location for my benefit. :)

Not sure that I am going to be able to make it :(

Money is really tight this year.... Sorry.

Damn, I could totally make this, being as I live in germany currently, but it would be a close thing to take off work. Irritating. If only I saw this sooner. >_>

OK, I completely understand, train prices are daylight robbery...

Well if you can make it that would be great. I need to practise my German :)

I hope someone is still coming on the 28th.

I don't want to be stuck with just Okin. :P

I'm still going to TRY to!

May well be able to make this guys, I'm in London visiting my girlfriend and doing research from the 27th to the 6th, will have to see what SWMBO says regarding me getting a free pass on Saturday the 28th though.

Tickets acquired super late and way more expensive than they ought to have been, but acquired nonetheless, see you then!

What time are we meeting at the pub?

2PM. Well, I might get there early depending on the tube though. I'll bring my retarded green kiddy bag from previous years so as to be easy to spot.

Really hope you guys have an awesome day. Really gutted I can't make it!

Am sure we can make up for it next year.

What plans have been made besides the usual, "Let's get wasted!" :P

Actually, won't be able to make it. Forgot we had plans on Saturday, sorry guys!

nooo

Hey there! Just a last minute post to remind everyone (the few of us, I guess) that the meet is tomorrow! Hope to see many of you there. :D
