View Full Version : Pub for London meetup chosen!
Alright ladies and gents, we've finally chosen a pub for an Explosm fan meetup in London. Thanks for all the suggestions! There's been so many however that its been hard to come to a decision, so please bear with me if this pub is an uneducated choice. We will start our pub shenanigans at...
The Prince of Teck bar on Earl's Court road.

More info on the address can be found here:
http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub1562.html
We'll be there on Saturday the 19th July straight after the convention. Come say hey at our booth that afternoon and we'll be able to inform you of any updates! Also, we're only starting at that pub so we'll hopefully be playing it by ear and visiting a few others in the area after a couple of hours. Tag along! A meetup would be awesome. Forumers and fans alike are coming. See you there!

I presume that this is the first pub of many, until we find the pub that sells absinth? Am I right? Also, the under-agers should try to get in, like there's no harm in trying... And by 6 they don't really ask for id's and people in the pub never get asked for id, so at the end of the convention they'll be no bouncers and just go in. And many drinking pleasures shall be had! Of course, this is what happens in Ireland, so I don't know what it's like for ye English peoples..
And any English people who know the bar, do they server Magners or Bulmers or any cider at all? If not, I'll have to stay on the shots... I just hate beer! It's just so yuk!
Another thing, I may not be going over yet, it all depends on my brother, and how expensive ryanair flights are, but mostly my brother. Also, what time does the tube stop?

(that was a joke people, no flaming please;))
And if i do show,i'll be the one with my avatar on my t-shirt. Dead embryo, not too hard to miss;)
Oh and seeing as i'm not going to con, what time are you all thinking of getting there? Fuck turning up to find everyones already moved on, i'm from Greenwich, Earl Court of a bit of a trek as it is.Only worth it if people are actually there.

If you hit my girlfriend i would have to stab you, hate to make the knife crime go up but hey, thats my girlfriend, hit her and i'll kill you. Simple.
Bare in mind i don't carry a knife.. Its fine, theres enough glass in a pub to cut people into pieces. I'm not a violent person:). Really. I'd simply kill anyone that hurt my girlfriend. I'm sure people can understand that ;)
Thats if i even bring her... Or even get the time off work to come myself...

I've never been to this particular pub before, but i'd say with confidence that they'll have some kinda cider there (hope you aren't too picky to drink strongbow).
I presume that this is the first pub of many, until we find the pub that sells absinth? Am I right? Also, the under-agers should try to get in, like there's no harm in trying... And by 6 they don't really ask for id's and people in the pub never get asked for id, so at the end of the convention they'll be no bouncers and just go in. And many drinking pleasures shall be had!

Another thing, I may not be going over yet, it all depends on my brother, and how expensive ryanair flights are, but mostly my brother. Also, what time does the tube stop?
As for the tube, I think it stops around 12:30am, but it depends where you're going and all that. Also, I think the only tube line that serves Earl's Court is the District Line (green) so plan accordingly...
What time is the con over? I think I'll go for a bit in the afternoon (unless they stop selling tix at the door at some point?) and then hit the pub with you lot. Anyone have experience with these comic cons and know the scoop about ticket times and stuff?

That depends. By "fuck with me" do you mean mess around and play jokes on you, or have sex with you? Messing around? 3 drinks. Sex? 1, 2 tops.

It's only legal up until 9pm [?] at which point they tell anyone under 18 to leave.
At least in Surrey that's how it works.
