Hello,
Good work, Bjornulf. The bad news is I'm down for the show, hah-hah! Looking forward to meeting you IORR loons more than the actual concert itself, I reckon...
Training binned for next weekend so I'm up for a few light ales on Friday, Saturday and lunchtime Sunday. I do find those post-gig 'post-mortems' thirsty work, hah-hah!
Cheers,
Simon.

Around Tottenham Court Road there's the 12barClub on Denmark street, in front of the Regent's sound studio where the Stones recorded... live music till 1am (punk - rocknroll - sometimes ska)

St Giles is in the other end of Central London, near Tottenham Court Road. It was picket during the previous tour 05-07 because some stayed in the hotel there, but I don't think it is ideal for meeting up before or after the Hyde Park shows.
Many stay in the Paddington and Sussex Gardens area, walking distance to Hyde Park, so I will find a favorite there. For Friday July 5 I will recommend Pride of Paddington, it is right across the street of Paddington Station, easy to find, even some seating outside, after that I will check out the other pubs in the area and find a real nice one without too many tourists (which is possible) except for us of course...
Pride of Paddington, 1-3 Craven Road

PS. As for turist trap pubs - see The Swan on Bayswater Road, right next to Lancaster Gate tube station, great to see with 100% tourists, I try to avoid those, still they are interesting to visit for a minute or so, but not really "local English pubs"...
Still be a lot of iorr's staying at St Giles bv. Guaranteed late bar Enjoy Glastonbury bv.

i've played a gig on the bill with them! The singer is hot and has a nice tail btw (no, a real tail, not the American 'tail')
yeah the 12bar is open late and importantly, it is cheap! You foreigners will probably need to be revived with oxygen when you see the price of beers in London pubs!

Apparently they stayed open until 3 or 4 am after the O2 gigs last November! Sounds like that can't be beat ;-)

Only T2 as has been the case for weeks? I'd certainly not get a T2 until reports of HP1 come in on how good/bad a spot it gets you...

I have a T2 Barclaycard Bar and nothing has arrived here in Vienna Austria yet, although I received Email last Tuesday that it was shipped the week before. But in case it should not have reached me by Thursday next week I should pick it up at the Box Office but no instructions where to go and what to do exactly. This sounds very fishy to me. Of coursr there is No refund of the delivery charges on my credit card yet. I am really worried how this will work out. 2 weeks shipping time is NOT possible except when whole postal services are on strike in Italy or Greece, which is definitely not the case here. I have sent postcards from Wash. DC that arrived an incredible 4 days later. I am really hoping that this mess will get solved without too much hassle and hopefully not last minute before the concert.
The sad part is that I am looking forward sooo much to this concert and to enjoy a hasslefree day in London on Friday, as I'm leaving Vienna Thursday afternoon...
Instead it's 4 more days of uncertainty now.

Living in Stuttgart, Southern Germany, I got mine yesterday. I guess it takes one more day to Vienna your tickets should arrive today!

Just a quick question has anyone received their tickets in the UK from the Ticket Factory, they were sending out the tickets last week alphabetically and I am R on the list.
Getting really worried now as no tickets have turned up yet
What a bloody mess...
