Are weeknights ok for you? Most bars here are way busy on weekends?

How about:
Monday evening
BarZar at the Madinat Jumeirah
6:30pm

Souk Madinat Jumeirah is just down the Al Sufouh road, about equidistant between my house and Knowledge village. Any cab driver will know where it is. [gmap]
BarZar will be signposted inside, if you can't find it, ask one of the security guards.

I've memailed you my mobile # in case you can't find it.... [more]

So,

Only if the monetary indicator is gold backed.

The person nearest me used to be at Wormwood Scrubs, but I can't remember who it was now. They must have got out, anyway.

That was me, when I moved to Islington I changed my location to Pentonville Prison.

...the Dutch equivalent of "cunt" would, as far as I can see, be considered perfectly acceptable - within the context of swearing - by people of both genders equally.

Even within one language that's true. 'cunt' is used quite differently in England and it isn't nearly as offensive as it is in vernacular American.

and a good thing too, we've seen many mefi threads redeemed by their comments, nice to see a Meta thread be likewise resurrected.

I'm flying in to London for my graduation ceremony and will be there between the 23rd and the 28th. Any day in that range except for the 24th (graduation, yay!) would be great for me.
I wouldn't worry about the lychee martinis, London meetups are usually in pubs.

The 25th sounds good to me.

The train-hopping one irked me a bit, not so much for the illegality of it, but because of the stupidly dangerous nature of it. Train-assisted limb amputations and all that.

Which was made abundantly clear in the thread.
