kaggski
Shaun (We're waiting for him to get a job *cross fingers*)
cloud_vivi (How old? Does he need a hotel?)
Nod
I'd like to thank everyone (cause they PM'd me back!) who can't come to the meet-up for whatever reason. No doubt another will happen again (Sooner then you think if the Scottish & London people get their way.) so I'm sure you can go one in the future.
FEARS OF ALIENATION
People please talk to me I dont know anyone here lol well for now.
Well from my own personal experience PhantomXD, I only knew Psychotic well enough before going to my first meet-up a year ago. I'd spoken to boris but that was about it. I enjoyed myself no end. As long as you're willing to be friendly, people are friendly back. Don't alienate yourself, and we won't alienate you. Plus, you are in the same boat as quite a few this time. So I wouldn't worry too much.
Just don't insist we HAVE to talk about Final Fantasy.
JACK AT UNIVERSITY?
I thought you was in Uni? you're doing A-Level?! TEACH ME MATHS AND PHYSICS!
Nope, I'm in Year 13. I'm 18 and wonderful. (according to my girlfriend. Everyone else thinks *shrugs shoulders*) I might appear that I'm in Uni because of my wonderful nature and older-man appearance and plus, when you met me I was hanging with all the older people. But that's because I knew 'em. As for the order, I got C's in both those subjects at GCSE so I won't be much help to you. Now if you wanted to have a essay about the narrative structure in Jane Eyre or a drmatic recreation of the events of Jane Eyre or (indeed) the philsophical interprestaion of Jane Eyre...I'm your guy.
(Guess which book we're studying?).
BORIS INTERJECTS
Whoop whoop!
Sounds like its all going well ^^
Loving the sound of the groups xD VERY organised Kagga ;P
To be fair, I (and Kagga) couldn't exactly let it all go to shambles? Especially since we had to contend with the London uprising. *evil eyes*
Thank you. However, now you've said that it's all going to hell. I predict the Apocalypse will happen the 14th of April.
boris why are you not coming i have know you like the longest on here i was hoping to meet you
boris no no is a fun person. No other women has so honestly told me how "beautiful" I look, kicked in quite the same way or chewed a telephone so fantastically.
Joking aside, she's great and will be sorely missed. Perhaps next time when we're all old and grey and complain how there's no great music on the radio (To be fair, I do that now).
LENGTH OF TIME IN BIRMINGHAM
we staying over in birmingham for a few days or just hanging around for one day because i need to know so i can save up some money
Honest to God, I NEVER thought I'd have to do this. *sigh*
We're starting the meet-up in Birmingham on Saturday. That's the DAY of the meet-up. Now, if you're staying in a hotel arranged by us(extra charges apply of course) then you can stay till Sunday. I'm assuming some will stick around, talk fun stuff and generally enjoy. After that point, it's up to you. I'm assuming most will consider it over and go home on the Sunday but I'm sure you (and your girlfriend) can stay as long as you want.
AMRATIS
Plus, I hope Psy knows his stuff cause otherwise he's gonna leave amratis very upset. "Trust me, it's never happened like that before... Give me another chance....We'll pick up from where we left it."
On second thoughts - Die.
I'm sorry. I will never put you and Psychotic in another sentence relating to sexual relations. I understand that it has not only insulted you, but shed doubt upon the validity of friendliness you hold toward me. In this case, I retract your member name in the statement and replace it with (Taking in account some of the posts I've seen in this thread...
Plus, I hope Psy knows his stuff cause otherwise he's gonna leave Nod very upset. "Trust me, it's never happened like that before... Give me another chance....We'll pick up from where we left it."
I personally wish to know why he's such a "legend".
P.S: If there's a panty shot waiting to happen for boris, IT'S THIS ONE.
P.S.S: I wouldn't worry Nod.
P.S.S.S: Then again, I never worry.
CLOUD_VIVI
Do you want to stay over at the hotel we're booking? If so should I include your girlfriend into the grand scheme of things as another person?
It's important because...
HOTEL COST
£70 for each room so...
£140 for 2 rooms.
8 people staying...
140 DIVIDE 8 = 17.5 = £17.50
Right... We're currently confirmed 9 people staying. In this case, I'm sure we can keep the 2 room format with one person more in a room. Best be quiet about this to the hotel people.
If this is true then it adds up to be: *quick math*
£15.55
(SPOILER)£70 for each room so...
£140 for 2 rooms.
9 people staying...
140 DIVIDE 9 = 15.55 = £15.55
However, if cloud_vivi and his girlfriend are coming into the hotel mix, this raises some changes. It's not likely we could get away with 6 + 5 in a 2 person only room. (It's pushing it)So that would mean a THIRD room be booked (Which means 4 hotel rooms will be booked for this meet-up)
This will translate into THIS:
£70 for each room so...
£210 for 3 rooms.
11 people staying...
210 DIVIDE 11 = 19.09 = £19.09
However,(not to sound offensive) but zorander is booking hotel rooms Friday. (TODAY) so if you don't get in, you miss out cloud_vivi and if you want to stay, you'll have to book your own room. Soz but it has been up since Monday.
And we've delayed it for a week.
Anyway, whatever happens all cash, cheques and bank transfers will go to zorander. PM him if you need to use the latter two. Cash will be dealt between him & you.
AGE
Hopefully the last bit about this...
Doing some counting and... 3 people will need (or at least have to prove it) permission for attending. Those are Shaun,themagicroundabout & TheStalker. I think TheStalker already has but you'll need to sign a disclaimer as well.
Here it is again for those who missed it:
I hereby declare that I will not drink or consume any liquid that conflicts with the Licensing Act 2003 which states that because I am under the legalised age for purchasing alcoholic beverages or alchoholic substances I will not.
It also must be stated that I will not pressure or suggest that those who are above the legalised age (according to the Licensing Act 2003) to purchase said beverages for myself or anyone else under the legalised age.
I agree that if I do find a manner of which to drink the substances declared in the Licensing Act 2003 as illegal for myself or anyone else under 18 to consume it is at my own risk and therefore accept full responsibility for my actions and the consequences of my consumption of the beverages deemed illegal for myself or anyone under 18.
This also applies to any attempt to purchase drinks that have been declared as illegal for my person (since I am under 18) or anyone else under the legal age that is sucessful or unsucessful.
I accept that those who are indeed over the age of 18 involved in the EoFF UK Meet-Up 2006 cannot accept any responsibility for my actions concerning the consumption of beverages outlawed for myself and others like me who are under the age of 18 years. All actions relating to myself either consuming said beverages or purchasing said beverages are taken and performed at my own risk and all consequences relating to this are mine and mine alone.
TEAMS
I'm putting them up again with all the confirmed and I replaced lady_yunalesca with cloud_vivi to make up numbers. Kagga will confirm them. So don't rely on these as Fried Gold. They are merely toasted.
Team Kaggski
zorander
zorander's housemate
zorander's friend
cloud_vivi
Nod
Team Jack
Russielloyd
KDWAH
Lasuria
kitten
Shaun (We're waiting for him to get a job *cross fingers*)
Team Psychotic
TheStalker
themagicroundabout
Baloki
PhantomXD
amratis
AGAIN, why do I have all the new people? I notice Team Kaggski has 2 people that have been before, and Team Psychotic has 3! (Aside from group leaders) It's like some conspricy to keep me away from them? WHAT DID I DO TO YOU!!!!!!
...
...
...
meh.
To be fair, I don't blame you for not wanting to be in my group.
Still...
If you're worried, we're all generally sticking together on this meet-up as one big group. The Team Leaders thing is just the poor man/woman who has to sort out those people in the run up. So those in mine need not fret, you're not gonna be stuck with a 6ft teen with sleeping problems.

Better do my essay now. Have a good night. *yawn*
