I'm not really sure how this will go down, or whether you guys actually ever meet up or just abuse each other over a forum, but I'm proposing a get together.

Next weekend fit anyone well? I'm not fussy about Thursday night or Friday day or Friday night?

I've got to buy Bluecat, Kittycat, Meow, Spugsy, Autonomy, Co.Durham, Bahtat, a beer (if you're all in Dubai?) ... rest of you can stake claim and please accept my apologies if I've forgotten anyone!

Post below whether this is worth organising or if it's a waste of time?

Thanks
I'll be in Dubai on Friday , i'll meet you in The Cavalli Club around 11pm , just order a bottle of Louis Roderer Cristal and a couple of Cohiba No 1's...That'll get us going mate..!

See you there. I'll be at the bar wearing tight white trousers, a tighter, brighter coloured shirt, shouting into my blackberry about work, wearing sunglasses indoors, shouting at the barman that i wanted no lime in my vodka and coke, whilst holding a 500dhm note pretending that I don't carry anything smaller.

Might fit in then. hahahhaa

Can I suggest that it isn't a Friday? Some of us are busy doing other things at weekends

Besides, I never ever meet people of forums. Who knows where that might lead...

Frankly the response has been shite.

How about next weekend? 5th / 6th night?

Come you bunch of oldies, I'm offering beer in return for the help you've given me!

Im busy on the 6th but other than that I'm free-honestly trying to get this lot out is hard work, I've tried and failed- did once get 6 people out! They must all be superfreaks who recognise that online they have a bit of a persona but in reality are dullards- all apart from Lionheart- he comes across as a dullard on here as well

I don't get it really, but each to their own. If no one wants to then that's their miserable, dull, volvo-driving, shandy drinking perogative.

well, you forgot me, so rather than sulk in the corner at the obvious snub, I'll just demand 2 beers...

BUT I can't really do from now until the 16th May, not unless any one of you can write 6000 pertinent words on marketing and managing creativity within architectural practice... fully referenced, that is... if it was just random blatherings, I'd have no problem at all!

[very obviously NOT doing her essay]

... and Kittycat, I'll overlook your gross generalisation too!

Despite apologising in advance, it was an oversight so of course you get two beers...in fact, I'll promise you magnums of champers because you're not turning up either!

'Managing Creativity' in an Architectural Practice?? Impossible.

Can't do either, Best mate and husband arrive on the 5th night and we are having Mitten's Birthday do at WW on the 6th, full on weekend that one, and the next then hopefully we should be moving house. Definately want to catch up though just timing not good.

I've always liked a challenge...

Anyhow, tell you what, end of May and I'm there. Seriously.

Time to cash in those magnums!

OK so looks like maybe we should put this in the diary for a few weeks time, Hello Kitty suggesting end of May - that work for you?

Everyone else?

19/20 or 26/27 May?
