I think I should be able to make it to the pub on the 9th. Does anyone who’s definitely going to be there have a mobile number in case I need to get in touch with y’all? My mobile is 07769 710 914

Bora, I’ll be in Cambridge 11th onwards. I’m not much of a beer drinker but I’d love to meet for coffee sometime, whenever suits you. There’s this Italian cafe in Cambridge that serves a cappuccino as good if not better than you can get even in Trieste :)

OK, I think we’ve decided on a pub. After the NHM tour Karen mentions, we will walk over to the Queen’s Arms – maybe around 6.30.

Please email Karen (karen (at) thebeagleproject (dot) com) if you’d like to come on the tour. And say here if you’ll just be in the pub afterwards (so we can get an idea of numbers).

I have arranged a behind-the-scenes tour of the Natural History Museum’s zoological collections including spectacular giant squid at 4:30pm on Wednesday 9 April, followed by a festive evening at a local pub and possibly dinner. Organising here:

Bora – you are cordially invited to North Norfolk for the weekend 12-13 April. The chickens are very excited.

Norfolk sounds like a weekend activity? On the 12th?

I think I’ll be visiting my cousins in Watford on May 2-3.

I didn’t see Elaine’s reply before posting my own, Bora – and she’s right about Holkham Beach. It’s spectacular, and only about an hour’s car ride from my house. North Norfolk is spectacular, whatever the weather – which is just as well, really.

Thanks Bora – great! Let me know your plans and I can easily arrange a trip to Cambridge. But it’ll be just me, sadly – the chickens will have to stay at home.

you know, i have been to norfolk A LOT and think you should take up the sofa offer, particularly if there is a car trip to holkham beach with the dog/s thrown in. this beach is breathtaking in any weather any time of year and is counted within the world’s top 10 beaches. it is beautifully land managed to enhance it’s wildness, and a walk there is worth a fortnight anywhere else.
in other news, if daytime is acceptable, i suggest lunch at hackney city farm and the aftenoon in the fleapit cafe. the food at HCF is lovely, and the space is big, while the fleapit is comfortable, we would be likely to have it to ourselves, and if loads turn up and we get into big group discussion the guy who owns it is very cool about giving over the use of the big space at the back that he uses for film shows. (though we should let him know in advance to keep our dibs on it)

Henry, I’d love to meet the chickens. We’ll be in touch, perhaps we can have a beer in Cambridge.

Hi Bora – London may not be possible tho’ Cambridge might be. And you’re always welcome to sleep on my sofa in Cromer (Norfolk) though you might have to share this with the dog…

You can also organize on Facebook

Do we know the exact place and time yet? People keep asking me… ;-)

Count me in. oh, and please promise to keep the conversation intelligible to a non-scientist like me. Have we decided a place? All places close to a tube station is fine for me.

Oh, I will just swim fast across the ocean, then rent a horse for the travel over land. Less of a carbon impact that way ;-)

Blimey Matt,

News travels fast in the blogoshpere.

As far as I know, this is Bora’s first overseas trip in a while and as he mentioned on his blog, the first time he’s returned to his roots in Belgrade since ‘95.

Great that NN is throwing together a London event during his stay in the area.

My sources tell me that he has his own private jet for long/short haul as well as a jet-pack and helicopter for shorter journey’s. Plus of course, his horse.

Alan Whicker , eat yer heart out….
