 Anyway I dunno what's the best manner to pick an evening... I assume
 whichever the most people can attend? And we have no idea what a 
 good pub is in the area.  If there isn't one, another area should
 be fine.

The nearest reasonable pub to your hotel is the Princess Victoria, a few 
minutes walk east. It's what you get when you take a typical British boozer and 
actually clean it and serve decent beer. The prices are a bit fearsome and it's 
a trek even from Shepherd's Bush, which is why I rarely go there. It's not 
suitable for a social, but it is somewhere to wet your throat and get fed near 
your hotel.

How about the Bridge House? It's a London.pm favourite, and it's near the Tower 
of London and Tower Bridge, so fits in with your tourist plans.

 For future reference, that's not actually true. Non-subscriber mail hits
 the moderation queue, and human non-subscribers usually then get whitelisted
 so that they don't need further moderation.
 
 Now, you likely won't see a *reply* unless you're subscribed, but that's a
 different colour of bikeshed ... :-)

Ah, what I meant was, I have no idea how to set up headers to make
an email out of the blue be a reply, or get it in the same thread
as the other I made out of the blue. I dunno enough about email
headers.  Lawlz.  I saw replies easily enough on the archive.

So, was apologising for basically starting a whole new thread on the
same subject as earlier.

So, Bridge House at 18 Tower Bridge Road, London on Saturday evening
25th June? (DuckDuckGo brought up another Bridge House in London but
this one seemed correct)

I'm looking at the suggestions of Nicholas, and wondering who is best
as sponsor of this. I suppose first we'd have to know who thinks
they can make it... and of them, who's a good candidate.

cheers,

That would be the one, yes.

If someone is willing to do it, they will volunteer themselves. I'm normally 
unavailable on saturdays, or I'd do it.

That sounds like a wonderful plan, and I can make it! Let's have an
emergency social meeting for you:

From 6pm on 25th June 2011
Bridge House
218 Tower Bridge Road, SE1 2UP
http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bridge_House%2C_SE1_2UP

I shall be there, probably wearing orange. I'll try and bring a small
stuffed camel with me.

I'll reannounce it closer to the date. Who else can make it?

Cheers, Leon
