    Might be tempted...living in the area for a few more weeks...how do you do these things? How do you know who's the CUK people? or is it that obvious to spot the IT bunch??

      When we met up in London we PM'd a brief description and mobile numbers to each other.

        You forgot to mention we swapped handbag details too!

        Just wander round the pub asking if anyone else here is in IT - you'll make loads of new chums

        I hope it all goes well anyway, we've discovered that its only the women (and Owlhoot) who can be bothered to make the effort, but we have a laugh anyway.
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          Not true, I have been to 2 CUK meetups where there have been at least 10 people plus.

            We try and 'assimilate' other people

                Another 'might be tempted' here (although leaning towards most likely), and probably only for a few pints and leave at a reasonable time being the boring family man that I am now a days. Where is that thumb print on forehead smiley.

                That is of course if you welcome the not so regular posters/ noobs.


                What has happened to Mr Cranium lately? Is he coming?


                Do we all wear a flower in our lapel? Or carry a copy of the sun/mirror/mail/gaurdian/times?

                  Oh g'wan and have a couple of beers. You'll meet some nice people.

                  Carry a copy of Computer Weekly if you don't have a distinctive handbag

                    You may not have heard "CUK" spoken, but it's actually pronounced "kook".

                    So just go around asking people "Are you a kook?"

                      What if I don't read computer weekly.

                      And not the sort of chap that is into bags (hand, man, ball or other)?

                      I may just turn up though - although slightly worrying meeting a bunch of people from the electronic super highway.

                      I have noted that I already have a common interest with browne issue - home brew beer.
