A bit ridiculous. It’s cold, yes. It’s abnormally cold, yes. But unless everything else is closed, schools probably shouldn’t be, either. If parents did not have to report to their jobs, it would be all right. Otherwise, I know it’s an inconvenient situation for teachers as it is for everyone else, but that’s sometimes part of living on a planet that has variable weather.

Do you guys ever do an SSP meetup in London?

haljackey · #**223** Posted **Jan 23, 2014, 3:00 PM**

We tried once... I think it was in 2010 or 2011 and 4 of us showed up. Molson Export, Kokkei Mizu (who is pretty inactive here), Waterloo Investor (or was it Duke of Waterloo... the guy who made Wonderful Waterloo) and myself.

One thing I can tell you is that Molson Export is very different in person.

Well I'd be down for another one. I'm stuck in Burloaksauga till next week but after should be good.

haljackey · #**225** Posted **Jan 23, 2014, 9:11 PM**

Name a time and place and maybe we can do another one. I'm down for it.

The last meet was at Crabby Joe's on Dundas near Wellington.

wish i could join wont be in london till like the 13 of march even then its not a firm date. Seeing as i'll be driving from bc to hali.

Pimpmasterdac · #**227** Posted **Jan 24, 2014, 2:33 AM**

I would be down, anytime in the evenings except Thursdays.

Crabbys downtown would be fine, heard it's much nicer now with the recent renovations.

GreatTallNorth2 · #**228** Posted **Jan 24, 2014, 2:17 PM**

I would like to go, but I'm back in the UK until March 2. If it's after that, I'm in.

middeljohn · #**229** Posted **Jan 24, 2014, 2:17 PM**

How about Wednesday Feb 5th at 7pm.

Wharn · #**230** Posted **Jan 28, 2014, 1:30 AM**

I'll be monitoring this thread. Meant to go to one of these a while ago, never got the chance. I might be able to come along this time.

haljackey · #**231** Posted **Jan 28, 2014, 2:09 PM**

Hmm the day before the Olympics begin. Might be able to do it, if not sometime after the games.

I'll be a shut-in during the Olympics

Pimpmasterdac · #**232** Posted **Jan 29, 2014, 1:13 AM**

Gonna be a late night for me next Wednesday, won't be able to make ituntil well after 8, if at all

MolsonExport · #**233** Posted **Feb 2, 2014, 4:48 AM**

I am interested, if there is enough interest. Later this winter/spring.

I just moved so I am kind of busy presently.

middeljohn · #**234** Posted **Feb 2, 2014, 6:04 PM**

Let's do it later then. Seems that'd be better for everyone.

GreatTallNorth2 · #**235** Posted **Feb 2, 2014, 7:55 PM**

Middle or late march?

middeljohn · #**236** Posted **Feb 3, 2014, 2:09 AM**

Would probably work for me, but let's find out a bit closer to then. I generally don't plan further than my next meal.

middeljohn · #**237** Posted **Feb 18, 2014, 2:05 AM**

It seems to be feast or famine in this forum. No posts for the past 3 days with everything going on in London??

haljackey · #**239** Posted **Feb 23, 2014, 11:47 PM**

Sorry.

Olympics 'n stuff.

MolsonExport · #**240** Posted **Mar 7, 2014, 6:16 PM**

And the radio landscape gets even shitter in London and environs, with the conversion of 103.9 from Rock to New Country.

Is there anything lower than New/Modern Country? I'd say it is the bottom of the barrel, except that would insult the barrel.

I'm with Tom Petty on this. http://www.savingcountrymusic.com/to...-with-a-fiddle
