Every once in a while I set up an open-to-all Voynich pub meet in an historic London pub: and, prompted by the imminent visit of a German print journalist, the time has swung around for another one.
It’ll be on 28th September 2014 at 7pm onwards, and once again at the Prospect of Whitby in Wapping, an historic Thameside London pub with its own handy pirate gallows outside. (I’m told this is also useful for rapacious bankers, though sadly still rather underutilized in this respect.)
In case of reasonable weather, the chances are that we’ll be sitting in the beer garden / patio area – go through the pub, turn left just after the main bar, and continue through to an outside area. But in case of not-so-good weather, troll around the various floors of the pub until you find a table with a well-used copy of “Le Code Voynich” on it, that’ll almost certainly be the one. 🙂
Incidentally, another date for your diary this coming week is International Talk Like A Pirate Day (19th September). This is mainly useful for telling bad pirate jokes, e.g. what is a pirate’s favourite Star Wars character? Arrrgh2-D2. Or Jarrrgh Jarrrgh Binks. Or Queen Arrrghmidala. Or possibly even Darrrghth Vader. You choose!
Arrrrrr-righty- oh, mate!
🙂
September 28th is a Sunday – just checking that’s right?
And Nick, don’t arrrrrgh-u with me when I tell you to ask the bartender to point the way for any ‘lost soul’ who might be wandering around in circles, with or without a mug in hand.

Don’t forget to hoist one to GC, wherever he may be. Wish i could be there.
Speaking of hoisting a few — how was the meet? I did ‘hoist’ a bottle of root beer, with a ‘cheers’ to you and friends (and a moment of contemplation for the ‘missing’).
