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.
