London Meetup - The Revenge Of the Lens Thread

LaFoto · Sep 4, 2006

Well, that's a deal then: I post some of my pics, and you all come over to Hamburg either next year or the year after, whenever you have saved up enough to do so and I've had had time enough to do all the organising and planning. Cool

.

Well, I came to the UK and wherever I went only met happy people - well, for most of the time. It's good to be among happy people!!!

Happy Chris aka PlasticSpanner

Happy Tony aka Tempra

Happy Simon, always only known as Simon

Happy Jerry aka NoteGraphics

Happy Neil aka Lensmeister

Just about happy Graham aka Hertz van Rental (dang, all my pics of him went wrong, what can that mean?)

Happy Jean aka Antarctican

Happy Rob, when he could finally get hold of his favourite Italian coffee, that is!

Pensive Tony aka Tempra... (why was THAT, I wonder?)

More to come.

So as soon as (i.e. after about an hour) most of the group had found each other, rumbling stomachs could be heard all about, so food was on the agenda. Nice all English pub food (e.g. sausages on mashed potatoes, now THAT looked decidedly odd, I must say!)

Pub shots:

What on earth were YOU photographing at the time, Simon!?!?!?!?

Well, but whatever it was you did, you finished it for this smile. Good.

Ben aka Scurra and his "Kylie" (when no one of us knew as yet that she would be just that

)

Yours truly and Neil, the Lensmeister (thanks Simon

)

Ah, food at last!!!

What is it, Chris?
Was even this all English pub food too hot for you? Yours sat there for ages before ours arrived, so what is the matter????

I wanted to keep posting but it is late and I feel like I would much rather go to bed now and start posting more tomorrow. Duncan, you will have to wait for yours some more. Sorry. But they will show. Big promise. Ta-daaa.

Damn it, I wish I'd been around when this was being organised... I so could have made it and I love a bit of London!

Whens the next....?

Antarctican · Sep 4, 2006

I'm still in London, leave for the other side of the pond in a few hours. I can't imagine I have anything to add to the great pics already posted (especially because I missed most of the first day). What a GREAT bunch of people. I swear I dd nothing but laugh for the 1 1/2 days I was with the TPF bunch. :lol:

It was awesome to put faces to the people I've corresponded with through the site, and to meet new ones. Thanks all!! :hug::

grreat pics lafoto, are the 2nd days coming?

LaFoto · Sep 5, 2006

Busy with them, but also the people from the Torey Hayden board are quite impatient to see my pics of our Sheep Walk (the charity walk I went on on my first weekend over in the UK, in Cornwall, those two very different meet-up being the reason why I was travelling the country for so long) ... and it's only me and my two hands around and I can't divide myself up into halves, but Day 2 is NOT FORGOTTEN! For sure! Big promise!

Hoppy · Sep 5, 2006

At last I can put faces to the names on here.
Great shots all!!! I reckognised Lostprophet's camera in a few but rarely in Andy's hand!!
I'm sorry I missed out but the call of the Spitfire Air show was just too strong.
Maybe next time.Ian
