Is it still good form to stare at people on neighbouring tables and threaten them if they refuse to pick a card?
Yes, it's fine, especially if in Wetherspoons.

Shame you can't make it Neil or Alec
Which pub are we going to this week?
I have to get a train into Waterloo, so somewhere just up the Northern line would be perfect!
Are you watching closely? Then I'll begin...

The Wetherspoons again, by Holborn tube?
Somewhere cheap, at any rate. If not then maybe a Samuel Smiths in Soho or Fitzrovia?

Personally I prefer Samuel Smith's to Wetherspoons
What do others think?

The S Smiths in Holborn, The Princess Louise, is just gorgeous.
There's lots of others though they're often fairly small.
(I don't live near Holborn, by the way, and it's not on my tube line, the Northern Line.)

I work in Waterloo so Holborn would be good for me- it's about 5 minutes on the bus and probably not that bad a walk if I decided that exercise is a good idea.

Cool. Is Holborn difficult for anyone?

About half twelve should be OK. When did you leave the pub?
I have an armchair you can sleep on.

Could I ask a favour of someone going to the meet this week?
I need a couple of packs of red Bikes, but with the card design on the box rather than the ten of hearts
Makes sense?
Anyone that can make International? Or Davenports before they shut?

OK, all, have we agreed on a pub yet?
Anyone have a Zippo lighter they can bring? Must be a genuine branded Zippo. Need to look at the internal workings...

The Princess Louise in Holborn sounds like a good choice...
