[ANNOUNCE] Emergency social, Monday 15 Jul
Randal Schwartz is in town swoon and needs beer. And so we have an EMERGENCY SOCIAL on Monday 15 Jul, at the Horse & Groom in Belgravia: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Horse_And_Groom,_SW1X_7BA We've got the upstairs room booked from 18:30-ish onwards. The nearest tube is Hyde Park Corner or Victoria. The nearest embassy if you accidentally tell people things you shouldn't and need to hide is Cote d'Ivoire or Trinidad and Tobago, and you'll often find the Irish ambassador in the pub so you could try humping his leg and see if that gets you diplomatic immunity or summat. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice
