Cold, guys. That's just fucking cold.

Well, it is nearly October. What did you expect from London?

Heartily seconded.

Barbecuing is banned in the Royal Parks, so if we want to set fire to things then Victoria Park seems like a safer bet.

Probably that musical key thing (although I cringe a bit at it now).

A Eurovision party is in theory a good idea but probably not workable in practice at such short notice.

Whoa, whoa, we have almost four whole weeks. Let's just calm down, take a deep breath, and think rationally for a minute before we throw this beautiful thought away.

I've always thought Kilburn sounds like somewhere that should be in Scotland.

Well, I'm up for a pub crawl pre-meetup scouting expedition this Friday evening, if we really want to do our research and get this right.</html>

Right. I trawled round some pubs near Barbican and Farringdon stations last night with a companion in tow, and here's what we reckon.

Both the Rising Sun and the Sekforde Arms weren't too busy, and I think we'd have no trouble carving out a space for ourselves if people started arriving between 6:30 and 7. Pretty much every other place in the area was seriously packed. (Apart from one real dive off Charterhouse which I won't dignify by naming. Although they did have a... [more]

So that's what teal is.

Or just PayPal/whatever some cash to a local (trusted) Designated Organiser for each location, who can then spend it on rounds / set up a tab / whatever at the chosen local establishment.

The thought of celebrating MetaFilter at a hotel bar makes me sad.

This could be the excuse to try the new St Pancras Eurostar terminal I've been waiting for.

Apparently this thing she put on me is "halfway between a gel and a wax."

I feel so pretty right now.

It has to be said, I cranked up my narcissism all the way last night, and everyone said they had the best time ever. Pretty dramatic, huh?

The usual way, I'm guessing?

MeTa post: Amazon code for WP?
Why would someone use your plugin without bothering to replace the ID? I'm just looking for an insight into the human mind here.

People are stupid.

You'd be amazed how applicable that is.

MeTa post: jump dates categories direct
continuing this tomorrow means I'll have to hit the Previous Question button about ten or twenty times to get back where I was. Is there a way for me to just directly jump to where I left off?

Yeah, save yourself a bookmark/favourite in your browser with the archive page that you've got to. Then, tomorrow, you can jump back to it, and pick up where you left off. Repeat.

MeTa post: Cultural Biases In Education
how different is this from a lesson plan on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s infidelities? Or pictures of Bush drinking?

It's not. In fact, I rather like the idea of portraying historical figures as, y'know, human.

So, this got deleted because cortex didn't think it was funny enough? Or what?

Sounds good. As long as you don't make me take pictures of the floor next to the desk as well.

What photos, where?
posted to MetaTalk by chrismear at 3:30 AM on February 11, 2008
Oh! Maybe CCBC has upgraded to a new browser that opens new windows in tabs, and shows those tabs as little screenshots down the side. Like OmniWeb, for instance.

MeTa post: What cookies do I need to set in order to have a console app grab my /usersnear/ page?
A couple of minutes' experimenting with curl suggests that you need USER_TOKEN, USER_ID and USER_NAME.
