DW,

Not personally - he's on the floor above me, which means he might as well be on Mars!
Equity and Fixed Income two almost completely independent divisions.

Any more votes for March 15th? C'mon, you know it makes sense..!

JP - your name's on the list too.

The pub I mentioned earlier which Beatle mentioned could be one of undreds [sic], is apparently the "Cat and Canary" or something

Is the Henry Addington near this?

Are we defo for the 15th March?

What happens from here regarding confirmed date and time, and how the hell do I get there from Woking?

Chiark - NO CURRY, but it seems pizza's on the menu anyways

Dave T-S - If you want a lift back, I'll bring PTMW! in, or if you're game-for-a-laugh I'll take the GSXR home

PTMW,

Since it's such a big place, and we don't tend to move very far during the day, few people know anyone else apart from the people
on their own floor. Unfortunate, but typical of the business. Looks as if Arthur's on the 5th floor, btw.

For anyone worried about getting lost in Docklands, i'm happy to meet people outside the Jubilee Line station Canary Wharf. It's only
a short walk from there, but it can be a bit daunting if you've never been near Docklands before.

Why don't we say 6.00 in the Henry Addington for the 15th?

Terry

I will need to check out trains etc. 6pm is bad for me as I dont finish work until then Will this be a one beer and away drink or an 11pm(or over) drink?

If it is the long version then no probs for me coming over, supping, then travelling back I will check the trains this afternoon.

DW

PS How do we know who everyone is? We dont have to wear badges in our jackets or carry something do we

Henry Addinton is quite easy to find....

Out of the Jubilee Line past All Bar One... carry on along the waters edge and the Henry addinton is about 100 yards on the right... If you try to go left you will fall in the water which is the way to finish a drunken evening but not a good way to start one....

Cat and canary is a little more tricky to find, but right under my building, I'm at Barclays Capital.

Im up for the 15th, Telboy is easily recognisable due to the excessive amount of eye make up he tends to wear , and he has very long nails that he paints a delicate shade of **** pink

Beatle/JP,

Don't involve me in your personal fantasies mate. Any bloke who knows as much about bra cup sizes as you deserves my deepest suspicion.
And anyway, it's called cerise blush, not **** pink....

Just stumbled across this thread - no access to the Internet for 5 working days.

March 15th sounds good. Not only is it pay day, but I get my Christmas bonus of 10%.

Jerome.

Richard and others - MSDW is indeed Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (big customers of my current firm as well). I did some work in Cabot Square - my claim to fame was designing and installing the voice and data network for the Coutts Bank office on the 32nd (I think) floor. I still do a fair amount of work in London - so if I'm around I'll try and make it over.

Me and my big mouth. Could be an expensive night...

To explain: the Xmas bonus is dependant on the company reaching certain goals, which can't be ascertained until the annual results are announced at the end of Jan. This misses the deadline for getting the bonus in the Feb pay packet hence getting it in March. Anyone still awake?

Jerome.

****, sorry my mistake - guess I am just looking forward to it.

It is next Thursday - good job you pointed it out or I would have been walking around there this Thursday asking people if they were Puff The Magic Wagon. Probably would have been hit or arrested

Dream Weaver,

Your friend Graham, does he work in Equity on the 3rd floor, mid to late 20's, Browny-Reddish hair and a cheaky grin.

No I don't know him.

Andrew...
