It is not 100%, but it looks like I should in London again this January. I don't quite know my dates yet but will let you know as soon as I do. Last year PJaines, TobyAnscombe, KingBing and KingKanu were so kind as to entertain me at the Hide Bar.

We will give you a better service than the Pope got at the weekend.....

Eric (and anyone else for that matter) - Would love to have you over for a glass or two. You must promise not to be quite so sensible though!

Date dependent, I'd hope to be available. Happy to arrange a nice offline dinner one evening at somewhere like The Square or The Ledbury if you'd like, Eric.

TT always welcome, of course - he's a good guy, but more importantly he's got a better cellar than me

My wife will be there for work, and as with last year I will be tagging along. Hopefully this time there will be less snow, and I will have less pressing coding to occupy me. As soon as I know my dates I will let you know.

Bryan, definitely also interested to try and visit The Ledbury again as well and likely will see if Keith Prothero can organize something as he did last year.

I'm in. Plus it is my birthday around that time of year so an extra excuse to have a wee dram. Eric - can you get Jancis to provide another bottle of La Fleur Morange 05? - that was great stuff.

Plus, if YoDaddy (or is it Yoda for short) is coming then we need to make sure we give him the usual Hide Bar "welcome".

If it's the 21st then count Hong Kong in. My (now monthly) trip will at least cover the 20th and 21st.

I guess the real test will be whether the actual pictures live up to what I imagine could happen when Paul, Toby, et al start bringing the farm animals into the Hide to meet Eric

They took very good care of me as well. I had the most pleasant, completely unconscious ride back to my hotel in a London cab. It was as if I left The Hide and arrived in my bed instantly. Never even knew I was on the left side of the road.

Yes, that sounds very familiar. I had the added pleasure of waking up in a hotel I had never been in before. Took me a while to figure out I was still in London.
