Hello,

I apologise for the late response to this thread, I have been having
personal issues so never found the time to sit down and write a
response.

> I'll be in London for a month or so.  Does the group ever meet up?

I am happy to as long as there are other people, 1 on 1 is a little
awkward.

> I'm happy to go for a curry with drinks in Kings Cross, as it's the

Also happy to meet up, however I am unsure because I am young and shy
so not sure if it would be a good idea (by young I mean 18 < age < 25),
aka old enough to drink beer, a requirement for hacking :P

I would like to put a disclaimer out there I am primarily a BSD user,
but still use Linux, more than happy to discuss my reasoning for it :D

I pass through Kings cross a lot, but usually drink at Highbury and
Islington because its slightly cheaper, if I remember correctly there
is a spoons next to Euston (5 min walk, or 1 min on victoria line),
never actually been in there though so I am not sure about the pricing
there.

Oh I have drank around Euston before, cant remember the pub name, all I
know is during rush hour it gets rammed there. If you want a nice quiet
pint, I don't think Kings cross will be a good idea, oh and expensive
£££ but its London so no shocker there.

Changed? Still seems same old same old to me, maybe I pass it so often
the change doesn't sink in, then again I only pass through, not hang
out around there, and when I catch eurostar from St Pancras to attend
European conferences I usually get the first or second train out of St
Pancras, and get the last one back in, so everything is closed usually
when I hang around.

Would be curious to know what has changed though :)

Take care,
