That would have been the "Worlds End" pish up, that was the biggest meet up we've had, we had a couple of the German Order as well as Dutch Jim, several Americans and a couple from Argentina as well as the Brazilians you mention, not forgetting the Scots, Welsh and Engerlish from all over the place. Some of the pictures are on my msn site in ma signature below

It was a certainly a good turn out! A superb atmosphere too when NO walked on stage, the rain (finally) stopped and the sun came out! Nice one Shug, definately up for those beers!

The northwest contingent(well 2 of us)will be there by 4p.m.after an hour in the tyburn arms,a wetherspoons i believe:;)

Super. I'll be there to meet you all for the very first time (good first line, that)...:)

not sure if i've posted this but megabus gets to lahndahn at 1, heading straight to the pub with non boarders in tow.

they vary from never seeing NO to having first seen them in 85.

Have a great time boys and girls !!

Will certainly be thinking about you all.

Jarvo..any special flags to be searched out for on Saturday night @ Glasto ??

maybe shaun rider could bring us a doggy bag to the audley after he has fingered the buffet?

am geting nervie now-who's wearing a viking helmet?.hope not just me:

Is anyone actually planning on watching any bands? :D

Anyone got any idiot proof directions for the Pub??? I'm still not all that hot on finding my way around London.

Roll on Friday

I'll be there.

Although as you know, I will be leaving at 5 minutes past as per usual to get right down the front. Has anyone got a VIP ticket? I will sell anything.........

:bag:

Your hotel is on Bayswater Road. If you head east you will hit Marble Arch which is the junction with Park Lane and Oxford St which is the continuation of Bayswater Rd. Cross Park Lane to get on the same side of the road as the pub and head south to Mount St per this map which was posted earlier.

You'll know when you are at Marble Arch. There's a great big arch made of marble

I should mention at this juncture that if I do indeed attend this event, I will be seeing all the support bands (I'm very keen to catch them, as is the person I may be attending with) so will say hi in the gig itself. It's a shame none of the Zagreb Order will be present, my lass bust her ankle last month :dead: and Julijana is studying.

Me and the missus are booked into Hyde Park Towers Hotel, Inverness Crescent, just off the West end of Bayswater Road. Wouldnt mind hooking up with a few onliners for the first time, a few in the Audley sounds good. Will be staying down Thursday & Friday night so I foresee a good early/mid afternoon session in the Audley on the friday

Think I might recognise Shug from some photos but i suppose if i steer myself to a bunch of inebriated degenerates in the corner wearing new Order T shirts I won't be far off.

Think I will be wearing a factus 81/82 shirt, if anyone cares.

Will be down and around early doors,

I'm coming into town with 3 mates for some pre-match boozin.

Then the misses is coming over at around 4.

hope to meet some of you suave dudes there...

I take it from most of the posts here that the 'ardcore will be staying in the pub until the last minute? Like several others I really want to catch Rilo Kiley but ain't particularly fussed about the rest, which is a shame 'cos they'll be on first. However, if the weather is toss like at Finsbury I'll be staying in the boozer regardless. Either way, should be in the pub from about 2pm, depending on how shit Virgin trains/the WC mainline is....

Excepting Shug, if its sunny weather many of those degenerates will look like the following smilie

Well yes I can do the round orange face I suppose, but probably have too much hair! This one is gonna be a good 'un. Can feel it in me ectoplasm.

Even though I have not knowingly been to an official meet previously (we stumbled across the Worlds End piss up), I have a feeling Friday is going to be a good day out! I am getting quite excited (like a kid would), can't bloody wait!! :) Looking forward to meeting (alot) of NO fans and new friends!

I'm coming and will see you in the gig. I've borrowed someone's wife to accompany me

Have we got a time for NO kicking off yet? I don't know what time I will get away from work and may have to go straight to HP

Thats my plans rearranged- £20 a bleedin' bargain! It can snow for all I care!

I'll be there, with wifey, but I have to 'work' that day then deposit the spawn with appropriate adults; won't be there until half 8ish...

She's black and i'm white, so we'll stick out like a sore thumb if anyone wants to say hello.

I will probably stick my head round the door early-ish, 3 or 4pm maybe. Look out for a Dark Blue Fac51 t-shirt on a v.tall geezer.

It would be nice to have such a claim to fame - but sadly this is not the case...

My wife sings quite badly as well... (although she does have a crack at the odd NO song - I imagine that's something most NOOLers would kill for!)

P.S. DZ should still be adopted!

Getting down London about 5pm in a crowd of 7,who all wanna go straight to the gig and soak it all up before The Order come on Hope to see some of you there.Doubtless everyone will be shitfaced Its going to be a lorra fun

I'll be at the Audley about 3 ish

Hello! This is my debut post (yes, I'm a lurker! & a tad shy). I'm a 40-something, veteran N O fan & definitely intend making it to the pub, the (New) Audley with my missus and mates mid-afternoon tomorrow.

See you then,

Chris

should hopefully pop in around 4 to see whats happening with a friend from Bosnia, meeting my wife and his gf at the park later.

I've finally got around to checking out the web review of the Audley posted in another thread. It says the mood is "quiet and refined" and the clienele is typically old and/or American tourists.

Are we sure this is the right place for us degenerates??!!
