In the door, stay left, go to the back corner, look for an area that's more-or-less a separate room and doesn't have lots of porcelain fixtures. Listening for the braying of toffs.

Look at post #91 up page. I'm Gandalf, apparently and will be sitting opposite a toad.

Since I'm sure that the gaymobile is sporting St. Georges cross this week, could you just wear it behind your ear?

I'm also a newbie. I will probably be overdressed because as a stay at home mum of 2 little ones I never get to wear anything nice in the day. I'm a slummy mummy. So look out for the welsh one in the evening dress

I suppose I could shove it in my hole. Let it dangle from my lobe but I'd rather just give my phone number to anyone who would like a sound to navigate toward.

As an oldie I shall be some what under dressed. Infact I will probably have to swing by another pub first for a work leaving do. Look for a balding toad in shorts, sandals and un-ironed t-shirt. As mentioned up thread I will probably not have shaved that morning. It is highly conceivable I will have been in the same boxers all week. All environmental these days.

Hope it works out.
So I will be making it, flight arrives in TO at 3.05pm, just need to book into a hotel and make it to Scotland Yard. Last time I went there, we drove so I have no idea how to get there? I also have no idea what I will be wearing, hopefully something clean!

Looking forward to it...

Excellent. Others have more experience but I'm sure there's a shuttle to Union Station and there's a Novotel right opposite the Yard on The Esplanade both 5 minutes walk from Union.

See you there!

Novo, don't wait for me, I will grab something unhealthy once I get there. Hopefully husband will be home by 6.30 in which case I should be in just after seven. Looking forward to my first vodka in Canada

Excellent. That, combined with my leek stirrer will be a taste sensation.

Let's have an Oldies versus Newbies arm wrestling competition ... Not sure what to wear either but I expect it better not be my England top because it's seriously MINGING now (oh yeah, I could wash it I guess). It will be nice to have someone Welsh there so that England fans can actually feel decent about their sporting abilities ... Though best to avoid rugger conversations.

I have a hospital appt tomorrow - nothing major, don't start worrying - but it may mean another sauce-less eve for me. Never mind, at least there will be sweet potato fries.
