It'd be my pleasure. A waif like you won't run me more than a couple pints, I'm sure. 😉

Not August? What a jerk. You're going to wreck London months before I even set foot inside.

Maybe we could coincide it with the London meet up?

I think we all agreed there should be one in warmer weather this year.

A new dilemma:

I don't really want to go to Belfast to see my family. Would it be wrong of me to hide the fact that I'm visiting the UK from them and only go to London?
Clearly this would be wrong.

When you reach the gates, and St Peter asks why you didn't visit your family, I don't think "Cos people on a chess website say it was okay not to" will pass muster.

Go to London (only) = Go to hell.

There are only two get-out clauses - that your family are mass murderers, or that they are really, really boring.

Oh, just thought of a couple more. It's also okay if they are paedophiles. Or if they are racist. Or if they smell. Or if they use unecessarily long words. Or if they talk knowledgably about proportional representation. Or if they like golf.

You should make sure you go to Belfast for the marching season. 😉

If you're in southern Ireland, let me know.

If using Ryanair, allow 3 days (at least 1.5 ) for them to get you from Belfast to London. In fact, if you have any luggage whatsoever, do not touch Ryanair with a bargepole. A guy checking in before me at the weekend got charged £128 for excess baggage. You're allowed to check in 15kg and carry on 10 kg, but that bag has to be absolutely tiny. They'll screw you sideways.
