London HERF - Wednesday 16th Feb

[El Catador]

I was just wondering if any of you fine, Southern based BOTL's ('Jessie's') would be up for an evening of cigars, frivolity and drink on Wednesday the 16th of February?

I'm having an 'over-nighter' in 'The Smoke' and fancied a jaunt over to one of the 'infamous/notorious' (delete as applicable) cigar friendly hot-spots.
(Probably 10 Manchester - but not fussy which).

It goes without saying that I'd be my honour to meet up, smoke up and talk 'balls' with any of the members of this fine forum.
Plus, it'd give me the chance to 'stiff' somebody for the bill!
Only joking
(mostly!)

So, my question then is this... who's up for it?... anybody in town?
Don't be scared - I'm a pussycat really.

Finally, I'd like to 'borrow' a quote from that fine orator, wit and raconteur... Delia Smith'... and just say...
"Let's be 'aving you!"

P.S. Non-Southern 'Jessie's' equally welcome (the more the merrier).
I draw the line at 'Dandies and Fops' though.

P.P.S. Dress: 'Smart Casual' (Cravats optional)

Damn it - I'm not in London on a Wednesday :(

[cohibaIV]

With me being a northern Jessie I would have loved to meet up but unfortunately I will be in the Glasgow big smoke on that date....

Which is a shame...

Maybe next time.....

[Big_T_UK]

See what I can do but looks doubtful, sorry, thanks for the invite though.

[nicwing]

No can do, sorry, I have booked my son in for his first one to one Apple course and I would get cut off at the ankles if I blow out now.
Next time!

[TJ:01]

I'm in London on Thursday (have to get a new passport :( ) and will be around lunchtime-ish if that's any good to anyone. Otherwise have to pass - sorry!

[mb55317]

Sorry no can do... Maybe next time!

[monkey66]

It's a long shot but possible, I wont know until tomorrow though.

[cohibaIV]

Come up to Glasgow instead bud...

[El Catador]

Come up to Glasgow instead bud...

I just might do that... I do love them HdV smoking bothys.

(Not to mention a nice big portion of Haggis, neaps and tatties - washed down with an ice cold Irn Bru and a deep fried Mars bar!)

Anyone else around for London?

So far we've got... Me... Panto... a trio of blonde Eastern European 'exchange students'... at least, that's what I think they said (it was about trading money for something anyhow)... some fine wine and some Cuban cigars.

Surely we can tempt a few more?
Come on... you know you want to.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Wish I could make it Pussy, but I shan't be in London until the beginning of March. :( It would have been interesting to find out what an international arms trader looked like in person...

I'm trying but I wont know until tomorrow, what time are you starting?

[spirit_of_will]

I'm pretty keen to join in for a smoke & a drink - need to check what is going on work wise...

[JimJamYaHa]

I was actually planning on going tomorrow night too depending on when I finish work.

I think if there are any members who do turn up unexpected you should do a secret handshake with them to check they who they really are

Who is this Panto so speak of?!?!
Some stranger surly...

Not got as far as thinking about a time yet, but should pretty flexible.

Is it likely to get busy on a Wednesday night, i.e. As far as getting seating on the terrace goes?
I'd welcome any advice or suggestions.
(As long as they're clean.. obviously)

I like the handshake idea!

Failing that, we could adopt a secret code.
i.e. Upon meeting a suspected UKCF member you say....

"Could I borrow your cutter?"

To which they should reply...
"Certainly... is it for a Cuban?"

And then you say...
"No, it's for me"

"Nice. I'll have a brandy.... make it a pint"

ahh yes thats the kind of love that keeps me coming back :der:

[EugeneSax]

I could probably make it along in the afternoon for an hour or so, but would have to leave circa 6:30 ish.

Do let bus know what time you intend starting.

[monkey66]

No chance for me now :(

[EugeneSax]

No chance for me now :(

...Because I just said I could go?

[monkey66]

lol ...no, still in the office!

[JimJamYaHa]

Cat that is the perfect code! It should be yard for all ukcf herfs

[EugeneSax]

lol ...no, still in the office!

But it's next Wednesday

[monkey66]

Doh ...lol.

In which case it is possible but I wont get next Wed and Sat so it'll be one or the other.

[EugeneSax]
