GD Christmas Meet!
 
'Tis the season to be jolly! And meet up with your fellow strange internetters!

I'd like a GD Christmas meet before the New Year.

Firstly it should be in December.

Secondly it should be in London.

Saturday 9th December! (unless loads of people can't make that, then I'll maybe consider changing the dates - doubtful though)

Now what would people like to do?

I thought it might be cool to go for some sort of Christmassy lunch somewhere on the Saturday, perhaps in a pub. Then spend a bit longer in that pub before maybe moving onto one or two others. End up at a club/bar at the end.

I will consult with other London social-goers (read: yahwe) for locations - somewhere nice but cheap would be the order of the day.

So, who can make it? And what do you think of the plan? Anyone got better ideas?

Great idea, I will of course be attending - if you can change the date from the 9th to the 16th. I'll still be in Cardiff on the 9th.

same as furball.

Same as furball, except if you change it to the 16th I won't be able to attend, rather than will.

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
don't think i can make it.

London again as well :(

Tomkat 11 Nov 2006 20:37

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
ok so we have:

9th - T&F / Jakiri
16th - furball / Phang

I can make either date actually, now I've looked at when my flight is over to Jersey. If more people post when they can or can't make it then I'll consider changing the date. I'd prefer the 9th to be honest though!

If you want to organise an event elsewhere chump, you're more than welcome (although obviously in the new year now as I've bagsied December for internet meets! :xmas: )!

It makes no sense for me to organise an event somewhere that's miles away from where I live. If I had it my way I'd organise it to be in Woking so you should count yourselves all lucky you're not subjected to this craphole.

16th? I have time I guess.....

That can be done independently, however.

Shrug, I'd be more than happy to organise a meet in manchester...
If there is interest shown by people to come here of course...

I could come on the 9th, the 16th is getting a bit too close to xmas to start meeting people off the internet (plus we got bolton at home)

Deepflow 12 Nov 2006 19:00

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
I can do the 9th but not the 16th!

I'll deffo come if it's the 9th though.

furball 12 Nov 2006 19:28

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
I'll try to work things out if it does end up being the 9th, but no guarantees.

JammyJim 12 Nov 2006 20:44

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
I finish Law school on the 15th so no can do any earlier. Even then I might be jetting off somewhere warm :(

Phang 12 Nov 2006 20:53

i can do the 9th i guess but it will be expensive :(

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
Sadly .. i have to rain on this idea a bit .. were u planning on a real meal, cos anywhere decent will have to booked for staff christmas do's at least 2 months ago, if your just thinking of weatherspoons at lunch time for turkey and trimmings i guess that could work.

Thanks for pissing on the parade :(

I'm sure Yahwe could cook :up:

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
I cook a cracking roast, so if you gave me a kitchen, I could cook a feast.

I'm not sure what you're classing as decent but my friends managed to book a table for 22 people the other day in a reasonable place (£30-£40 per head sort of level). From calling around they reported there were quite a few places who could do reasonable size table bookings (14-18 people) at various points. Obviously if we're restricted to a specific day then it becomes a bit harder.

In my day meets didn't worry about trivialities such as food.

lull in conversation? my dear boy that is exactly what I am there for. If there is even a hint of a lull I can do my Jamie T impression!!!

Yeah if there's any lull in conversation it's quickly dissipated by someone making fun of my bald head :(

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
Hmm dispite the fact that I've barely posted here since I got back to the UK, I may pop along, as I'm in London on the 9th for a gig. I've never met internet people before (and still suspect it may still all be a big joke).

If its anywhere near Camden, I'd hardly have an excuse not to! :xmasgrin:

It's a London meet. We're not going to the north.

Blastoderm 15 Nov 2006 20:20

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
Camden is 25 minutes away from you Yahwe.

It's not as north as Enfield.

Definately can't make 16th
9th is do-able

There's another thread on this.

yeah, but by the time you factor in the transport, accomodation, eats, drinks and a bullet proof vest, its just too expensive.

It's probably cheaper to travel to Manchester and have a night out than have a night out in London.

I'm not suggesting walking through moss side in the middle of the night...

Well I for one am glad there are no shootings in London.

People can be sarcastic without some base vb parody, you know.

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
OK chumps - this is definitely going to be on Saturday 9th December. For those of you who can't make it, I'm really sorry, but I'm busy both other weekends and seeing as I'm "organising" it I think that's a deciding factor! Unlucky!

Now are people THAT concerned about going for a decent lunch somewhere?
I had a pub lunch (perhaps christmas orientated with a roast!) in mind, as it doesn't require bookings and is relatively cheap (usually). I expect most of you want the same thing, but I'm just checking.

furball 26 Nov 2006 18:07

Re: GD Christmas Meet!
 
Logistically I can make it anyway. £1 each way on megabus + tube fares. But I'd need somewhere to sleep for the night, so if anyone's able to offer a floor/sofa I'd be very grateful.

Easy to get to you say? How about an advanced state of physical fear when you see the twisted, perpetually grin-stained face of a Scottish psychopath and unconfirmed paedophile bearing down on you?

"Hello darlin'. Ya want tae see me credentials?"


I knew there was something going on with Dace when he begged me not to rape him in his sleep at Roady's house.
