UK Meet-Up 2006

[amratis]

*sigh* Someone else who doesnt want to trawl through the pages, it really isnt that bad you know.
Its on the 15th of April.

And I'm from the south-west, I'm coming from Dorset however, which isnt as far as you and very probably would have different connections.

[PhantomXD]

Thats about 50 miles form me how are you getting there?

[Gh["]sT]

[Psychotic]

Birmingham. I don't think that's too far from Blackpool. By the way, interesting sig you have there, cloud_vivi!

[Shauna]

...

Have you even looked at the first post?

[Jack]

I go out at the weekend and everything is upside down. Why if there were not young ears here, I would swear with some profanity!

NEWCOMERS
Hi! Hello! It's nice that with a thread that's been running for some time that people can suddenly see it and think "Hey that's not too bad". But I do not enjoy the lack of reading. I seem to note that it's only a couple of posts up where I say everything important.
But again for lazy people.

-It's in BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND
-It's on a SATURDAY 15th April 2006
-We'll meet-up in NEW STREET STATION, BIRMINGHAM in the MORNING. No specific trime. Aim for 10am if possible.

I refuse to repeat anymore than that. if you're really interested, read backwards. Read my posts cause I generally specify details.

Anything else, I refuse to repeat. Far too late to care.

Can somebody help out the person coming from Cornwall? I'm not to knowledgable on transport...Just trains!
Blackpool is not toooooo far, but not exactly a walk in the park.

For both, can I find out if you';re coming and/or staying the night soon? Sorry for rushing you (i know you're new to this meet-up) but it would be a great help-out to me and the other leaders.

GOING OUT

On that subject, I think perhaps we shouldnt actually go out on the town in Birmingham. Because if the 17 year old ppl do decide to stay the night, the people who did want to go out....well, we cant possibly go out and just leave them. We dont have to out to have a good time, and no that is NOT dodgy comment.

Good point. I don't think we HAVE to go out anywere. However, it's up to people on the day really. I mean, if you are a real clubber and you've never been Birmingham before, it'll be unfair really to stop 'em? I think that if you want to go out, go out and I may look at some places before I go out (I don't know many).it's a really a question of preference and funds, and I'd hate to force people to do what they didn't really want to do. amra, if you stay in, fully behind it.
My opinion is based on if I've had to work that day/money/majority.
Captains go down with their ship.
Although I did once meet a Captain who just went down...

IF I GET ONE MORE QUESTION CONCERNING AGE AND THE HOTEL THING I WILL MURDER THE CAST OF CATS
Just watched Team America
"I tried to leave but Rumpleteezer held me down..."

-If you ARE 17 and you wish to stay the night in Birmingham, then we (as meet-up organisers) DEMAND that you inform your parents of your intentions BEFORE. As well as this, we say that when appropiate (if possible) you CALL your parents/guardians during the meet-up to confirm this. Because you are not legally responsible for yourself, we must make sure that those who are allow your prescence here. I understand that in some cases you would rather they did not know you were out. That's okay. Just say you're out with some friends (I did). They may have to talk with one of us, just to be sure you're not just saying.

18yr olds can do what they like. Except invite me in for "coffee"
I'm a peppermint tea man (Surely a contradiction in terms? )

THE HOTEL ITSELF
I KNOW I said that we'd agree but i've been so busy with my clubbing fun...

(SPOILER)...(Look, I'm 18 and women demand my presence with them. Who am I to refuse? Note to all: Gay clubs are ALWAYS more fun. It avoids under-agers all sneaking in and especially avoids violent chavs who think you're looking at their girlfriend. Those plus points are very good. If we go out in Birmingham, I might find the nearest one and go on my own if so be it. )

I said to zorander that it's the Holiday inn but i've heard some murmers of the City inn. I like the City Inn but has anyone actually checked how far it is out of the City centre? I think it's a mile, and doesn't have any great landmarks near it. Last time, it was easy to find cause it was on the high sttreet but since we've agreed to not pay for that ease, we're stuck between these two.
Sadly, it doesn't matter really cause it's whichever is better for the numbers we get staying the night.

Lasuria, I'm forewarding you PM to zorander since he's paying for the hotel (which will include yours as well) It's probably best to sort out cash with him.

Lastly, I'd like to thank zorander for being a great help. He's kinda had quite a lot of responsiblities on him despite being a instigator of this meet-up and he's done great. Thank you very much.

[TheStalker]

I apologise for not replying sooner though I have been away at the weekend and without Internet connection.

In a short, less stressful, less venting way to say it, I will not be able to stay over at the hotel at this meet-up.
Though I still oughta be coming to the actual meet itself.

Again I apologise for the later than asked post.

Final Fantasy Forum People Don't Go Clubbing?

I just see some members writing out "BoB SUX" (or something) with fries and stuff. Nothing about clubbing, it seems. Oh well. And yes, I did go to pages two, three and four.

[zorander]

You love me, you realy love me!!

...
..

Eh',ok, now that the emotional bit is done and dusted, all seems fine.
I just want to make sure that the names for the hotel and the location are final as i'd like to book the rooms in the next coupple o' days.
So it's 7 people for the night at the Holiday inn? Someone get back to me with confirmation and a contact number or web address for the hotel, plus i want to make sure i have the contact numbers of all those staying the night... So i just need Russielloyd, Lasuria & kitten. If anyone else want's to send me their numbers, feel free, i'm sure they'll come in hany.

[Jack]

I'm posting during the day for once. Clearly, I've discovered free time when the sun is up. I am God.

CLUBS?

I just see some members writing out "BoB SUX" (or something) with fries and stuff. Nothing about clubbing, it seems. Oh well. And yes, I did go to pages two, three and four.

Unless my eyes decieve me, that's boris no no and zorander struting they're stuff in a Birmingham Night Club.

BOOKING
Hold off until FRIDAY zorander. I'll go PM-ing around and see what I can rustle up. Plus, if people have been away, they might miss out. But as it stands, these people are getting beds. HAHAHA
If only these 7 come, we could only get 2 rooms and save money. But I bag the bed and as such am the real winner.

THESTALKER
That's okay, I wouldn't worry about it.
The only reason I got away with it last time was because I surprised her WHILE I was already in Birmingham. And also cause she likes me also (It helps that I've never let her down)/ I wouldn't worry.

MY LOVE FOR ZORANDER
There are no words to truly encpasulate my feelings and emotions for this man. I even think the word LOVE is not enough to truly express and confirm the depth and breadth of passion I hold inside my still, beating heart for zorander.

Sorry Psy.

Can somebody help out the person coming from Cornwall? I'm not to knowledgable on transport...Just trains!
Blackpool is not toooooo far, but not exactly a walk in the park.

Yeah, I'll try and help that person out. Cant remember their name, but I'll PM them or something, but like I said, we might only be 50 miles apart but there still might be very different connections to Birmingham, maybe not, I'll look in to it.

i want to make sure i have the contact numbers of all those staying the night... So i just need Russielloyd, Lasuria & kitten. If anyone else want's to send me their numbers, feel free, i'm sure they'll come in hany.

Dude, I allready sent you Kitten's remember.

Heh, I said dude.

Has anyone asked Nod if he wants to come? That guy is a legend.

Oh, and I also want to add, in reference to something said earlier in this thread- I go out clubbing. A LOT.

[Jack]

NOD!!!!!!!!!!
You really are away for long periods! Welcome back.
As Psy stated so well, Nod is indeed a legend. This meet-up would be greater (Not that it isn't already great) if Nod turned up. Plus, he's a Vet (Just like in 'Nam ) so he'll be great. I demand the prescence of Nod. NOW!
ASL! LOL!
*ahem*
HELPING

Yeah, I'll try and help that person out. Cant remember their name, but I'll PM them or something, but like I said, we might only be 50 miles apart but there still might be very different connections to Birmingham, maybe not, I'll look in to it.

Thanks. Much appreciated. I assumed that that guy is travelling a HUGE distance and that the trains would be a absolute nightmare (as would driving)...

BLACKPOOL???

but is any1 else from blackpool who is going or what???

No.

VETS
I'm bored so I went and worked out who's been before who's coming again. There's been two "Official" Meet-Ups I've been told so I'll but I and/or II to show which they went:
(I means Birmingham 2005)
(II means Manchester 2005)

Jack (I & II)
Psychotic (I & II)
Nod (I)
Baloki (I & II)
amratis (I)
kyuzo (II)
zorander (I)
TheStalker (II)

This shows that meet-ups are great because people are returning again.
(I should add boris no no who went I & II and started this one. *hugs*)

All's going good.
