My colleague Jiři Herrmann went to an impressive amount of effort to write me this wonderful list of vegetarian- and vegan-friendly places in the town, which I thought I'd share in lieu of a new post. (I've been busy. Well, quite busy. All right, I've been in the pub, but without a laptop.) It just goes to show that actually, this city (and the Czech Republic) really is quite good for we decadent Western non-meat-eaters...

So if any veg*n friends have been considering coming to visit me -- and are OK to use the spare bed in my room and my sleeping bag -- then come on over!

OK, so, on Monday, I get Even Older.

I was thinking of a small celebration on Saturday night.

Possible plan A:

Curry in the Golden, near Clapham Common Tube, at say 7pm.
Followed by drinks from 8:30 in the Priory Arms, near Stockwell Tube, corner of Lansdowne Way and Priory Grove.

Plan B: much the same, but in Colliers Wood, which is rather handier for me. Curry in the Spice of Raj - pleasant, inexpensive, right by Colliers Wood - followed by drinks in the Sultan, a 5min walk away.

Thoughts? Votes?

I like the local option, but the Priory has a better range of drinks and Stockwell/Clapham are in Zone 2 and thus might be a little more popular with non-south-Londoners.

On Sunday, I attain the SFnally significant age of 42. But Sunday is a bad day for wageslaves to go drinking, and this Saturday is multiply-booked already, so I am doing it on Friday instead. Come join me!

The venue is Zeitgeist in Vauxhall, the best German-beers bar that I know of in London - and generally fairly quiet, as it's a back-streets place. It's at 49-51 Black Prince Rd, London, SE11 6AB; telling bone 020 7840 0426. Nearest Tube or Rail is - duh - Vauxhall; it's a bit less than 10min walk away. Bring an A-Z or something, as it is not that easy to find.

I plan to kick off about 7pm and will be there until the bitter end. Or the lager end, or the kölsch and rauchbier end, according to preference. They may even do cider, I don't know, but I believe the schnapps selection is quite good.

Open to all - do please circulate this or bring along anyone who you think might enjoy it!

There's a Facebook event here if you are that way inclined. I've basically only invited Londoners on FB, not wanting to spam too unduly, but all are welcome!

There will be more drinking in Croydon on Sunday night, and, I hope, at least one big fireworks display on Saturday - so if you can't make Friday but fancy one of those, email me for info.

(Sorry, it's a horribly Flash-heavy site.)

If you'd like to join me, then please do. It'd be great if you could email or text first, but it's not essential - just turn up if that's easier.

I've booked a table for 12 for Thursday night at 7.30pm. After that, survivors will adjourn to a nearby pub. This will probably be my favourite in the area, the Golden Eagle (59 Marylebone Lane, W1U 2NW).

I'm not planning much for the weekend at the moment, as my mum's going to be in town for her 70th. I'm going to spend that with her. 70th is a bigger deal than 40th, I think!

Instead, I think I will throw a big party here in Mitcham a couple of weeks later - do please shout what weekend would suit best.

In other birthday news, it's [livejournal.com profile] androctonus' today, I believe, so happy birthday Kat! Her present is a research fellowship at Imperial, it seems.
