A mini blogger meet up occured last Thursday evening. Bloggers Tamsin, Lee and myself met up with the Uber Geek himself, Miles Reidy. Miles was over in the UK from the US on business and contacted us all to see if we wanted to meet up. As Tamsin knows London a bit better than me she suggested a Greek restuarant near Charlotte Street. Don't ask me what its called, I couldn't tell you?? I'd never been for a Greek meal before in the UK, apart from our local kebab shop of course, but I was told, that doesn't count!
We all had a great evening talking all things wargaming. The grub was very nice indeed, don't know why but I seemed to pick all the hardest things to pronounce from the menu, and made a right tit of myself trying to say them. Hopefully we'll do it again one day. And if Miles can sort it, he may even come over in April for Salute and a game at Reject HQ!!!

Thanks for a great evening everyone and thanks for picking up the tab Miles!!!!
Looks like a good time. At least you had a go at pronouncing the things. I just point to the menu.
ReplyDeleteI did have to point at the desert menu, the grub I fancied had about 20 letters in it???
DeleteSilly boy - you just had to check your email to find the name of the restaurant! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was a good evening and great to meet Miles :)
Doh!
DeleteSounds like an excellent time. Good journey back home to Miles!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stefan!
DeleteA wonderful time was had by all save the Greek language which suffered unspeakable tribulations at the hands of Ray.
ReplyDeleteYour his favourite person just for picking up the tab!
DeleteIts all Greek to me Miles??? Thanks Fran....you're a pal!
DeleteI do like hearing of stories like this, warms the heart.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it??
DeleteWhat a coincidence I was in London this week myself, but with school so had no time for anything gaming related whatsoever! Anyway looks like you had a great time, good on you!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander, maybe next time eh?
DeleteAwesome you got to meet up with Miles.
ReplyDeleteAnd doesn't matter if you could pronounce it. Was the food edible.
More than edible Alex, it was lovely!
DeleteI am very jealous of all these colonials making it to the mother country, I have not been there for years, I will have to make an attempt.
ReplyDeleteJohn
Come over for Salute John.
DeleteExcellent! Good food and good company - who needs more?
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteSeems to be a great moment!
ReplyDeleteWe all had a great time Phil.
DeleteSounds like a good night out.
ReplyDeleteIt was Clint.
DeleteIt was a great evening of wargame chat, great food and good company.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more!
DeleteThat is great fun. This is one of my favorite things about blogging.
ReplyDeleteTis great that Bloggers from across the pond can meet up like this.
DeleteVery cool you were all able to meet up.
ReplyDeleteIt was Rodney.
DeleteSounds great fun though it was all Greek to Ray I'll bet? Having lived in the Greek district here in NYC for many years I can tell you real Greek food is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh it was great grub Robert, I'll have to take the Mrs there one day, if she behaves herself that is??
DeleteExcellent Ray. Good to face to face every now and then.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteHow Awesome!

Cheers Ian.
DeleteNot a bottle of ouzo in sight!
ReplyDeleteWe did have some rather nice Greek beer though??
DeleteBrilliant to see fellow bloggers meeting up and having a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteCool isn't it?
DeleteExcellent! I'll be in London myself for a few days in December, I'll see if I can get a night off
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to meeting Miles at Fall-In in a few weeks. We've signed up to play a Napoleonic Naval demo game together
Just let us know Paul, and we'll try and sort something out??
DeleteYou bet!
DeleteLook like a good time there
ReplyDeleteIt was PK, it was.
DeleteExcellent stuff Ray- you should have given me a shout! I'm in Bromley at the mo' and could have met up too (having inevitably got lost three times over on the way!)
ReplyDeleteI love Blogger Meets even though I'm always late for them! :>)
Darrell.
We'll let you know about the next one Darrell, whenever that is!!
DeleteHope you didn't try the Greek wine, Ray - I remember there is one with a name like Domestos and that's exactly what it tastes like too !
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't?? Just stuck to Greek lager instead.
Deletesounds like a great time - always good to meet up.
ReplyDeleteIndeedy!
DeleteSuch type of meetup are very necessary. Such type of buddies help us grow. Now it's time to avail airport chauffeur service for more information.
