Got an email from Specialized saying they're opening a store on Covent Garden this evening and I've "won" two tickets (not sure if I entered but anyway). Free drink and prizes. May show up. Anyone want the other ticket?

    Does this count as chat room grooming? :D

    No thanks - my mum warned me about men like you, plus I'm off to a wine tasting anyway.

    So it's tonight and they have only just emailed you? That's a bit last minute!

    I'm half tempted to take the other tick.... Went to the grand opening of a Cycle Surgery a while back and got a few freebies... Not really on the way home but only about a mile away....

    Looks like HH is the winner. I'll be wearing a yellow turtleneck with pink carnation.

    If you arrive there first then it's the smaller door to the right of the shop.
    Knock-knock. Pause. Knock. Pause. Knock.
    and the password is 'Operation Chain Whip'

    Don't worry about the decor...

    It's on Mercer Street - just up the road from Snow & Rock.

    It opened a couple of weeks ago now, though.

    Can't see any tickets in my inbox :(

    Funny enough I was in there this morning, some nice bling but not enough clothing - i'll be back though, I have my eye on some new shoes :wink:

    Well I paid a fiver for a raffle ticket and didn't win the bike, the rugby tickets or the jersey, but got through a bottle of wine and a few bottles of beer so that'll do for a free Thursday evening.

    I did get to look longingly and caress the McLaren Venge they had there though. Not sure it's worth £9,000* but it sure is purdy.

    *Might've been £9k, maybe 19, maybe 190, still pretty and expensive.

    Thanks for the tick! I actually feel slightly hungover today, thought I'd only had 4 beers but must've been more. Nice chocolate brownies... Hmmmm...

    If I'd just posted that it was an invite to my dungeon then everyone would have been clamouring for the ticket. Needed to find out who my real friends were first. You must try harder next time CW :roll: :D
