    gerally speaking the places that are open till 9 don't mind trainers anyway (heck the one i normally frequent i generally wear 'hiking trainers' too, so it don't hurt when you get stomped on.

    So casual shoes please.

    (note those stupid fabric ones thou, they are still trainers)

    Well I would think it's pubbage for me, as I won't wanna be standing all night if I've got silly shoes on.

    Still don't know whether to wear the shoes or the nice trainers...

    Re: Hexus Mini Meet - 22nd February 2008 - Central London

    Decided to wear my boots as opposed to trainers anyway now.

    (this no-checked-in-baggage thing is a real pain)

    oh, my trainers would have been Merrells obviously (there are no other good trainers )

    espesually the pointless restrictions on what you can and can't carry on....... i'd almost belive it for half a second if you couldn't buy all the things you need from the boots in depatures.

    ORLY?!

    There are one other make of Trainer and that's adidas... Nothing else will grace my foot (when I can afford it)

    It's hard work packing for carry-on only, I had to do it for glasgow... and i'm not known for packing light.

    Re: Hexus Mini Meet - 22nd February 2008 - Central London

    I used to swear by Nike Air, they are comfortable, but when you get a puncture, then its all over. £100 trainers down the drain. So I have stuck to those shock absorber ones, although my current ones are squeaking. Grr.

    So, IS there a dress code, otherwise I will be showing up in blue jeans and trainers ... or should I be safe and put on my steel toe cap Dr Martins and black torusers, shirt, jumper long coat, shades, bluetooth ...

    Well I'm wearing my pretty patent black flat shoes, jeans and a red jumper - will that suffice for you all? If not it's tough!

    Really looking forward to tonight!

    6 pm by the pointy fountain thing, I'll be the one in the black coat and patent shoes.

    Ps. I take it I don't need to bring a map this time because Animus knows where we are going?

    Nike Shox ? I've got 2 pairs and they squeak as well. You should hear me going eek, eek, eek and a banging hard-house or a dirty breaks night

    The thing is with the shox is the springs at the back have the flat layer of rubber from the sole that is so thin they tend to wear out after 6 months. I'm sure that's a design flaw, or maybe it's intentional to get more sales ?

    Lee, you work in computers sort of, you should know there are no design flaws, only features! I know what you mean though, the back rubber has come away as well. needs more glue methinks!

    I'll have my N95, so if we do get lost, GPS will come to the rescue. After waiting 20mins for the thing to hook up! LOL!

    I'm up early to do a Brum meet and pick up some RAM on the way there anyway, so I won't be out late either... and I'm not drinking too much as I couldn't organise a taxi this morning (becuase I'm useless) AND I had a run in with my heart condition this week, so shouldn't be drinking really. Excuse made. I'll drink some cheap plonk with my dindins though.

    What time is the last Northern tube from CX to Euston?
