cramped or more cramped?

More room, food and drinj is included and served at your seat. I travelled Business Premier once and it was champagne all the way!

[Martinus]

Hey guys, so is this meet still on?

Turns out I will be in Athens for a quasi-business trip until morning of Thursday, June the 4th which also happens to be a public holiday in Poland (it is Corpus Christi). So with Friday being a part of the long weekend in Poland, I could try taking a direct flight from Athens to London on Thursday (arriving some time in late afternoon) and stay until Saturday afternoon if people are around to spend time together.

Might show up in Paris after all, but not in London. Can't be in both.

[Martinus]

Lusti, whatever you do, don't get dragged to some place in the middle of nowhere where Portuguese immigrants play boulles and drink beer bought off a truck.

[lustindarkness]

Cool, we'll be there, and are willing to meet up whoever we can. Don't miss out in the oportunity of a lifetime! Meet real life Ricans! And we won't steal your stuff! We promise! 




Is boules the one where you roll a big heavy ball or something?

[Duque de Bragança]

Middle of nowhere being near the former NATO HQ, itself not far away from the current Russian Embassy

Boulles (sic actually Boules) is pétanque. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanque

As for stealing stuff, there's competition with the gypsies, though not near the former NATO HQ.

Euro horse shoes.  Fun game.

Don't play for big money.

[lustindarkness]

That looks cool. Can I throw the ball at other people? That would make it more fun.

[Syt]

Marshal Pétanque was the leader of Vichy France, wasn't he?

[Richard Hakluyt]

That myth is a load of boules Syt
