Love the idea of the Sarf London venue ^

I have never done the Eye before and it sounds like a bit of fun. Plus I am now officially not buying anymore tickets until next year.
So a DO in the town in which I hang my hat is a goer for me.

I'm also signing myself up also for the reason that I have never been on the London Eye. Sounds like a great idea of a lazy September afternoon/evening.

Saturday 8th September
I will still be in San Francisco on Saturday 8th September; I can heartily recommend the Eye, however I believe sunset would be the best time to see London, as it can be like sitting in a greenhouse during the day.
Sun sets about 19:40 that day, so a 7.30pm flight would suit perfectly!
You could then try out Skylon Restaurant, though be warned it is a Conran and overpriced....I think I read Swanhunter was there this weekend, so maybe he knows what it's like.
Alternatively, there is Giraffe nearby for fun, cheap eats and quite a jolly bar, which I believe has a happy hour!

For anyone not fancying the Eye, but who fancies a slap up meal I could be tempted by an early supper at the Anchor & Hope. Get there at 5:30 for a decent beer and some of the best food in London....

Oh bugger!!!
I was thinking that I'd love to attend ^, and then I realised that I'll be in Bratislava that day, watching Ireland V Bratislava in the footie .... ^ and
But I will prob have to be in London the night before Slovakia, so any chance of a Pre-Do "DO" on 7th ??? (my usual form I'm afraid ....)
It would be a great way to celebrate my new Gold membership year (courtesy of a soon-to-be jaunt to BAH
)
If not, enjoy !!!

).It'll just act as a spur to get my booty in order and organise a mid-week Do at some point.
