Summer Meet
 

The weather has been stupendous lately, and (touch wood) it seems Summer has come early this year.

As such, I'd like to start organising a Summer Meet! This is for all our internet chums, from both GD and PB.

The date is way into the future, so you can all put it into your diaries, and make sure you don't double book it. It also means you students will be finished with your exams, and those who are overseas can investigate the cost of airfares.

The date proposed is Saturday July 14th in London.

Plans will need to be made more concrete nearer the time, but I'm thinking a picnic in one of the parks (Regents or Hyde, most likely) and then maybe onto a beer garden on the Thames. If it gets too chilly in the evening we can always retreat into a bar on the riverfront.

I'll keep updating the list of people coming, and any updates to the plan, in this post.

Confirmed:
TomKat
furball
Blastoderm
Deepflow
Kila
skiddy
Benneh
idimmu
Minty
pig
Dark Skragg
midge5
roadrunner_0
Ste
Alki

Probable:
T&F
jerome
Zar
Hicks
All Systems Go

week after titp, ill be coming down, not a chance

Re: Summer Meet
 

Bastille Day!

Re: Summer Meet
 

picnic!

Re: Summer Meet
 

Sounds damn good, anything after the first week of July works for me.

Re: Summer Meet
 

I am too much of a recluse to attend these kind of meets.

Re: Summer Meet
 

"London"

again.

*sigh*

I don't know where I am in July so I'm not going to confirm attendance or not yet.

Re: Summer Meet
 

I'm in.

Re: Summer Meet
 

****ing attend you ****er.

Re: Summer Meet
 

I might attend but it depends on a multitude of factors. One of which is if I can be bothered travelling for five hours by train, bus and underground.

Re: Summer Meet
 

Why would I arrange a meet somewhere I don't live? :confused:

Re: Summer Meet
 

Why would you arrange a meet somewhere he doesn't live? :confused:

Re: Summer Meet
 

How gay would a picnic be?

I'm not meaning bad, but actually how camp would you all look sat on the grass with picnic hampers said on blankets :(

Re: Summer Meet
 

Sounds good.

Saturday.

July.

I'm in.

I will turn up this time, regardless of how shit ive been in the recent past.

Re: Summer Meet
 

Too near a big milestone at work, and in London =(

Re: Summer Meet
 

oh i'm organising a BBQ in Eindhoven that day, so not coming for sure.

Re: Summer Meet
 

You pay a deposit for a picnic reservation in Regent or Hyde Park?





Shit.

Re: Summer Meet
 

The marquee company/jazz band were only available for that day :(



I have no idea where you'd buy a picnic hamper from anyway. Blankets are a bit of an organisational push, too.

I was more thinking along the lines of beers and pimms, with some food bought from Tesco earlier in the day. It's not going to be pork pies and boiled eggs, finished off with a nice strawberry Victoria spongecake prepared the night before, Robert.

Re: Summer Meet
 

Out of 10, 2.


Which is ok. :)

Re: Summer Meet
 

Big under estimate Blasto, you took the figure for a normal internet forum picnic meet which would include girls. As you know GD is all male which makes the figure at least 7, 8 if you take account of the Tomkat factor.

Re: Summer Meet
 

I like the picnic idea, just a load of food, beers, wine, chit chat, a football, frisbee etc.

Should be really good fun

Re: Summer Meet
 

Yeah sounds cool, I'll probably be there.

Re: Summer Meet
 

pig ive always wanted to ask, whats your avatar :o

Re: Summer Meet
 

In the background it's the floozy in the jacuzzi (a fountain in front of the city hall).

This is a great picture of her

That's not me dressed up btw, no idea who that is!

Re: Summer Meet
 

I genuinely thought it was :(

So it's someone pretending to be Binladen in Birmingham?



But terrorists would never bother bombing Birmingham as they'd be doing the government a favour :(

Re: Summer Meet
 

How does one attend a meet for the first time? It's always seemed an insurmountable obstacle to me.

Re: Summer Meet
 

You just turn up.

Re: Summer Meet
 

it's taken from this famous b3ta animation...

http://www2.b3ta.com/birmingham/

I assumed the bloke was a generic inhabitant of said region

Re: Summer Meet
 

Los Locos is extremely unlikely. Have no fear.

Re: Summer Meet
 

Can't make it that weekend, Latitude Festival :(

I'd laugh like a ****ing maniac if you went to Los Locos though.

Re: Summer Meet
 

I would come, but...

#1. Its london, as im Newcastle, quite a journey
#2. Not many people i know of, maybe if a few ex Fury, ViruS, Destiny, Omen go, then yeah i'd deffo think about it.
#3. Id get ridiculed by my girlfriend, not only do i spend time with "freaks online", im now going to visit them for lunch and cups of tea in the park.

its 50/50 at the moment :D

Re: Summer Meet
 

I don`t know anyone. I`m too old. I`d have to turn up sober :)

Re: Summer Meet
 

I just went to Newcastle and back during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend when Arsenal played up there and I can say that a 3 hour journey on the train is not that bad at all.

Re: Summer Meet
 

maybe just maybe, i might be in amsterdam that weekend for my birthday but its looking more likely to be the 21st anyway, i could drive down but then its a hassle to leave my car anywhere, and train just sounds meh

Re: Summer Meet
 

I'll only come if you find me some where dark to Lurk in ;)

Re: Summer Meet
 

I might come just to call you picnic munching faggots "a bunch of homo's".

Re: Summer Meet
 

I wish I could come. People in the park would look over and say, "Isn't that sweet. Those young people have taken their grandfather to the park.

Re: Summer Meet
 

Come for a long weekend!

Re: Summer Meet
 

bumporama!

Re: Summer Meet
 

I'll probably come along if I am in London that weekend.

Re: Summer Meet
 

Im not going to anywhere with butts or buttmusic.

Tomkat:

What time are you thinking (roughly hommes) for the whole pic-a-nic idea.

I was categorically saying 'no' before but i had a look at the options.

Bus would be unbearable.
Train would be £50 (and still too long)
BUT
If i got the plane (and booked it asap) it'd be £20 return, sat morn -> mon morn. Obviously i'll speak to peter about this shit as well and see if he'd get his fatty porking ass in gear for this.

Money, time are issues; plus i'd lose a lot of my wiggle room at home ('i never take holidays'). But henry has kindly offered me a floor for a night.. accom would be the next thing to sort.

Mulling it over

Re: Summer Meet
 

I might pop along if I'm around that weekend, may clash with my summer holiday though.

Re: Summer Meet
 

looks like i can indeed make it :)


oh, and tomkat, update your first post, its a bit out of date mate

Re: Summer Meet
 

done!

(if i'd many any errors, correct me please!)

Re: Summer Meet
 

you are one huge error

Re: Summer Meet
 

maladoni can no longer come by all accounts and i think that ste might be coming down with me and skiddy if we can get oursevles organised properly

Re: Summer Meet
 

You didn't add me you spak !
