    Awww I'd have been on for a bit of boris bike action, but am going to London Zoo by night instead.

    I'm hoping to see a night-giraffe. Or a bat.

    I wish! It's a thing they do every so often where they open the zoo 'til 10pm and do cut price tickets + free booze + silent disco!

    Not sure who these lovely people you're referring to are (is it another clique?) but I might be up for a couple of pints. Been aaaaaages since I've done the Morpeth.

    Yeah, I could probably be persuaded, with the disclaimer that I may have to disappear off to an airshow I've forgotten to put in my dairy.

    EDIT: I'm the lovely people. All of them. :P

    Absolutely. Morpeth Arms pub. Tentatively friday night from ~6pm. It's not that grand even, it's a bit ad-hoc
