Pictures taken and what do you guess? In the background Pete's house!<BR/><BR/>As to a get-together before the concert I suggest <BR/>Pizzeria Rustica (Italian)<BR/>32 The Quadrant, Richmond, TW9<BR/>Just south of Richmond Railway station.<BR/>Tel: 0208 332 6262 at 5 pm <BR/>They are open on sunday evenings.<BR/><BR/>Lookin forward to reading more.<BR/><BR/>Kindest regards,<BR/>Koos<BR/><BR/>PS<BR/>The photos on my blog pages I took myself.Koos Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721221805692321011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1133168272188243022005-11-28T00:57:00.000-08:002005-11-28T00:57:00.000-08:00Hello Koos,I to have found all the different names...Hello Koos,<BR/><BR/>I to have found all the different names being used for both the event and the studios very confusing. The boathouse/Oceanic/Eel Pie/The Attic/The basement ?<BR/>As you and I now know it is 'Oceanic' on 'Ranelagh Drive'.<BR/>You may find this map helpful as to where the studio is in relation to such things as the town center and the railway station.<BR/><BR/>www.multimap.com<BR/><BR/>Go into search in the top left hand corner and put in<BR/><BR/>Ranelagh Drive Twickenham.<BR/><BR/>From the address shown you can pan in all directions in order to find just about anything you care to think of.<BR/><BR/>Your picture looks familiar. Did you go to the Bedford Arms gig?<BR/>As for your other pictures? Is that Pete's barge?<BR/>I'm really looking forward to the gig. I couldn't get to sleep last night for thinking about it.<BR/>Have you found a place to stay yet?<BR/>My wife and I have booked into a guest house called 'The Old Stables' which in relation to the studio seems to be only 15 hundred meters away. The people who run it have even been kind enough to offer to drive us to the gig if we wished.<BR/>We hope to get into Twickenham in the late afternoon. I've been wondering if it might be possible to meet up with some other fans before the gig somewhere?. Any ideas?<BR/><BR/>All the best<BR/><BR/>AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639906060574794555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1132860019244174232005-11-24T11:20:00.000-08:002005-11-24T11:20:00.000-08:00Great DOG!

Not uniquely Dutch then. Just curious, do they pronounce it the German way (close), which is like rowing upstream, or have they adopted the English way?<BR/><BR/>KoosKoos Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721221805692321011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1132269192873149602005-11-17T15:13:00.000-08:002005-11-17T15:13:00.000-08:00Dear KoosI work for a business who is owned by a f...Dear Koos<BR/><BR/>I work for a business who is owned by a family by the name of "Kloos".<BR/>They are Austrian by nationality.<BR/><BR/>My guess - is the owner of the barge Pete Townshend, by any chance?<BR/><BR/>DaleDalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390048543612668055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1132159550987838932005-11-16T08:45:00.000-08:002005-11-16T08:45:00.000-08:00Hi KoosYou're a boy!

You're a boy!<BR/><BR/>As a matter of fact, I did know that Ron Woods owned the house our favourite PT lives in!<BR/><BR/>I love your hound, Sindy. She's beautiful.
