[Gllug-Social] [ANNOUNCE] [SOCIAL] Thursday, 8th of December - The Windmill, Mayfair

[Dan Stevens (IAmAI)]

Gah! All your socials clash with my schedule. It's my work's Christmas party
on the 8th and I'm going home on the 22nd for Christmas (back to West
Midlands).

For those I spoke to on IRC, might we still go and see the Doom movie as a
social, now that it's out? If not, anyone want to go and see it anyway? None
of my other friends round here are nerdy enough to want to see it :P
