OH ....... NO !!!!!!

I have very bad news ! Actually it is very hard for me to say but I need to cancel my trip to London [:'(]

Situation is like this:
One of my client ( his house is under construction, and he is from Slovakia ) coming to Serbia this weekend, that's not a problem at all coos I told him about my trip. But his boss ( who happens to be one of board members at US Steel ) coming as well to Slovakia to visit factory. So he knows about project and he like's it. He is visiting Serbia as well and asked to meet with me, because he will probably built house in the near future. Only day to meet with him is Saturday !!!! 😡 AGRRRRRR

For me this is really important and I say yes I'm in Novi Sad at Saturday !

Uh ... I'm gonna cry !!! but what should I do ....

So I'M REALLY SORRY  I CAN'T GO !!!!

Andy, beocool, Stonk, Lee, and others I'm really sad and I hope it will be chance to meet you guys ....

Sh.....t

Ahhhh, how sad!🙁

I was really looking forward to meeting you Nik.
I'll have a drink (or two) for you my friend, and I'm sure we will meet up sooner or later.

I have sent a shipping container full of my used socks to Cliffrow for Saturday delivery.

I EXPECT them processed immediately!

Yes ! really sad !

I was trying to arrange meeting with him some other day ALL DAY TODAY !!! I was doing only that and on the end it turn up to be impossible ...

I was really happy to meet you guys as well, I even bought some small presents for you guys ( you have one chance to guess what is it ?! 🙂 )

uh .......

SORRY !!!!

Sorry to hear you can't make it Nik. 🙁 Andy, since I'm the first to arrive (assuming my plane isn't delayed and there's not too much hassle with luggage and so on) it would be good to meet in the lobby of your hotel. Not really sure if I want entertainment for the evenings apart from Saturday of course, I need lots of sleep! 😳 It seems you've checked the opening hours, Andy. Good thing, cause I haven't. See you all very soon in London! 😁 🤒

Mmm... The local booze?

Wow, Andy T!! I'm off for a nap after reading your itinerary 😐 Here are some suggestions for places to visit near the venue.   I presume you are into anything digital, so perhaps you may like to check out V&A Decode Digital Sensations,  http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/decode  Even the website is great.  Pink is my fave color at the mo. The V&A is open on Friday until 22:00 and the central courtyard with fountain is a great place to rest and have a drink.

For Friday lunch you could go to Ignite, starts at 12 pm, Giorgi Serci, is performing, at the Royal Albert Hall.  It is a cafe/restaurant atmosphere. Always such a magical and special place to visit. http://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/production.aspx?id=8754

The new £78m Darwin Cocoon centre is now open at the Natural History Museum.  It is VERY popular - long queues.  Book your free visit online.  http://www.nhmshop.co.uk/tickets/events-listing.html

For the not so active I suggest a walk through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and pop into the Serpentine Gallery, to see Richard Hamilton exhibition, Free. http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2010/03/richard_hamilton23_february_18.html

Also the Orangery restuarant/cafe, directly behind Kensington Palace, is popular for an elegant breakfast...maybe on Sunday. (Great way to pacify the ladies, just in case you spent all Saturday evening talking all things B&O 😁 http://www.hrp.org.uk/KensingtonPalace/CafesAndRestaurants.aspx

As I am chilling out watching a HD Blu-ray of Jeff Beck (absolutely brilliant) performing live at Ronnie Scott's (Currently setting up a home cinema, surround sound system and can't get the right kit to test it properly in Latvia) I'm tempted to suggest Jazz and Sunday lunch at Ronnie Scott's from 10GBP  http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/performances/view/258-sunday-jazz-lunch

For the clubbers there are a few nightclubs nearby also.  One in Kensington High Street, just around the corner from Kensington Roof Gardens, walking east, two minutes. There is also Opal Champagne Lounge, at 36 Gloucester Road, South Kensington. I'm not sure if I will make it back to London for Saturday.  First guests arriving at my LuxLoft, Liepaja this week-end and still trying to figure out what plugs into what. I'd post a picture, but as its not B&O you won't be interested.  Best, Judith  

PS Harrison's time piece sounds fascinating.  I must check it out.

Excuse me?

Hi Andy,

Looks like we'll be ready to party from about 2:30pm onwards, just let us know where to find you!  My good lady is keen to visit the London Eye, any thoughts on whether this could fit in later in the afternoon once we've managed to track you all down? 🤔

I've been reliably informed that Sunday is reserved for shopping (little does she know I've memorised all the addresses of the London B&O stores!) 😜

I'm happy to PM my mobile number to anyone who needs it if that helps with meeting up.  See you there!

Steve.
