Hi hi ... this should be an easy question to answer ... should.

As remote said I do live in Ireland.
I also have a registered address in Austria.
There is a third address as well, but I don't really spend much time there.

I consider my self to live at both places. The next few weeks I will be living in Austria, in August I consider myself to live in Ireland. Have I confused you yet?


Yes. Actually, I wanted you to name a city in Ireland. Vesper lives in Dublin.

Looks like I'm gonna be there too. Mrs Gringo might even come with me, if we manage to find someone to take care of the children (school starts exactly that week, unfortunately).

In any case, we're checking tickets and accomodations right now. I'll try to be there on Tuesday(morning) and leave on Wednesday(evening).

I won't be there on the 31st, as I have to be back in Copenhagen to give a speech at a conference (repeat of my talk about journal impact factors and research evaluation)

Would you be willing to post the gist or e-mail the ppt (if any) or something on that? A topic of considerable interest here at the moment.

I'm still waiting for my vacation day confirmation. But if I get the days I want, I will definitely be flying in to London on the 25th.

I will continue to harass my boss until she gives me the days. I may have to offer a piece of my soul.

latest security update for british airports, recieved this morning. shouldn't affect people flying in as much as people flying out:

The recent security alerts at British airports has resulted in the rigid enforcement of the rules concerning what can and cannot be taken onto an aircraft as hand luggage. We would take this opportunity to remind staff of rules issued by the British Airports Authority (BAA)

Maximum 100ml containers of liquid, gels, creams and pastes. This includes cosmetics, toiletries, water and other drinks. These must fit easily into a clear resealable bag, maximum size 20cmx20cm fastened closed. Only one resealable bag per person. This must fit into hand baggage, available for inspection at security.

What is allowed

Baby food (pastes and liquids) in the required quantity for the trip
Non-liquid cosmetics; solid deodorant, lipstick, powder foundation.
Medicines, baby food and milk over 100ml must be presented for inspection at x-ray.

What is NOT allowed

My boss doesn't want to let me have that day off.

Still, I can sneak out of work early on Wednesday afternoon, and arrive around 5pm in London (thanks to the magic of GMT+2).

I'll have to take the Eurostar back at 5am on Thursday morning Frown

I will enjoy the opportunity to meet, but the underground gossip network hints the evening to be there is on Wednesday. Arkan probably could
tell more, but I do not want him using mad chambara skills on me.

All unofficial yet, however.

Tally:

Local people:

Kradlum.
Mirror Girl is leaving just when WG arrives. Talk about bad luck. She may be around the 27th.
Auteur Gal. An unknown, however.
Sentinel400. Are we taking you for granted?
Memetic Engineer. Showed interest in other thread.

Almost local:

Remote: There. Not dates yet.
Crash. Maybe. We hope with you.
Newromancer. Two days, not yet sure which ones.

Europeans:

Striv. Saturday to Wednesday.
Wanderer. Possibly there in a lightning trip. No dates yet.
Hasa. Sunday to Wednesday.
ArkanGL. Another lightning trip. Wednesday right now.
Psychophant. Probably will be free for meeting up on Tuesday and Wednesday. Some time also on Thursday (before I leave for the Radisson SAS at Stansted).
Fashionpolice. Tuesday and Wednesday.
Gringo. Tuesday and part of Wednesday.


Furriners from far away.

Meru. Probably will set a record on longest trip to meet the man. Expected to arrive on Saturday.


Retired
