(yeah, I know, another arm joke) And yes, since I've showed up in Birmingham by the end of 2006 and met the London (and other) European Perl Mongers at the YAPC I do believe it was worth the risk. :) Cheers! -- Luis Motta Campos is a software engineer, Perl Programmer, foodie and photographer.

London.pm Dim Sum Top of the Town Thursday 1pm
This was surprisingly tasty when we went to it last time, so I want to try it again. London.pm dim sum is a social event where we meet up every Thursday at 1pm at a different Chinese restaurant, spend about an hour (and about £10 cash) eating tasty dim sum (steamed and fried dumplings), then go our separate ways. Top of the Town Thursday 1pm 37-8 Gerrard Street W1D 5QB Leicester Square Tube http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=W1D+5QB http://www.topofthetownrestaurant.co.uk/ See you there! Léon

I think it would make interesting publicity for next year, assuming that Shadowcat, Antibody MX and Venda are kind enough to sponsor beer again. Nicholas Clark

Pictured here, this was just the sponsored part. http://twitpic.com/sizue If there's interest, I'm happy to munge this into an electronic format suitable for analysis. We can find out what percentage of LPW enjoys wonderful drinks and what percentage enjoy sieved dishwasher effluent doped with gravy browning.
