You mean we didn't scare the hell out of you the first time around??? Maybe you should sit next to iluv2fly this time.

The 30th through the 2nd is shot for me with family events. I won't know until the 17th if I'm going to be on the road the week of the 3rd, it's about a 50-50 chance that I'll be gone. I know I'm busy during the day on the 8th but free after about 5pm, but I doubt anybody else is around on the 8th.

What kind of cuisine do you fancy? We can be more creative at dinner although we may have fewer participants. And many of us can drive if there is a particular type of food that you wish to consume that requires a drive to another part of the city or God forbid the suburbs.

p.s. Thank you again for the offer regarding the Harrods ornaments; a FT tag team managed to get them home for me from London this weekend.
