These meetings generally go for a few hours.  So if you aren't there at 12:30 
then you could probably show up an hour or two later and still find us.

My mobile number is 04106-LINUX, you can call me to discover where we are.

It would be best to make a note of Steffen's number too in case you have 
problems calling me.


Also let's all bring cameras and take some photos in Southbank.  We could walk 
through Southbank and ask each restaurant for permission to take photos and 
get some food and/or drink at the first one to say "yes".  If all restaurants 
decline our business then we can go elsewhere.


PS  At the airport today I was tested for explosive residue.  I asked the girl 
doing the testing whether she had ever caught anyone through such testing, 
then asked if she knew of any security guard who had caught anyone from such 
testing, but she didn't.  She said that the testing was necessary to stop 
people blowing up planes, I pointed out that terrorists could just blow up 
busses or trains as they did in London, Madrid, and India.  By the time the 
machine had finished determining that I didn't have explosives she was 
agreeing that her job was pointless and only for the appearance of security.
