GD meet

[Ste]

After a conversation in a thread a few weeks ago, I thought I'd see how popular a GD meet would be? (Note I say GD not PA, although the more the merrier I guess)

Seeing as myself, JC, Stew and Megla are all based around Nottingham would that be a decent place to have a meet?

Alternatively Sheffield is quite central, with Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, York etc all within an easy drive/train ride, and me and Stew both have places here...

I was thinking perhaps 19th/20th March or something? But recommend other dates that you think could be better...

So anyway, Who's up for it? Where/when would you prefer? And any suggestions of what to do?

I suggest a barbeque, around august or something. With lots of irn-bru based beverages.

[Marilyn Manson]

I'd go to a meet, provided skiddy was going too. (No car you see.)

'Cos that's the reason.

[Androme]

I have a large box full of Pot Noodle if interested.

[Zharkov]

Im going to Nottingham uni atm so i could make it round there probably.

[Nodrog]

London is the epicentre of the UK, having a meet anywhere else is pretty silly.

[JC]

If it's in Nottingham i would come along to a meet if i am available. Unfortnately Rovers are playing Arsenal at Ewood on the weekend of the 19/20th March and off the top of my head i think i finish for Easter that week too, but i dont really get much of an Easter holiday this time around so thats pretty irrelevant. I should be able to make most other weekends and if i am around my house can be used as a hotel by a couple of people if necessary. If i lived in a better house with better more understanding housemates i would suggest a house party at mine, but thats not possible so forget i mentioned it.

depends.
London is:
a) expensive
b) packed with bloody tourists
and c) Further away for anyone who lives in the Midlands or further north
Oh and most of us have been to London before, Nottingham and Sheffield may be unexplored for the majority.

[JC]

d) Full of shandy drinking fairies.

No it's not, it's the governmental and economic centre of the UK.

The centre of the UK as far as travelling for people located all over the country is Leeds / M62 Corridor.

[Structural Integrity]

Plan it so that I can fly to and from the place (cheaply) in one weekend and I'm game.

[Kurashima]

Manchester , Sheffield , Liverpool , all suitable for me

Birmingham , erm , would involve flying with FlyBE at a godforsaken time, so no.
London , no.

I got it RPers rock*!





To be honest, anywhere in the country will be as far as anywhere else (an extra hour or two on the train doesn't phase me really) for me, being in the South West. So I'm not that fussed where it is, as long as I don't have to go further than say, Manchester. I'd prefer somewhere like London, but it's not that big a deal.

19/20 March is ok for me too.

The people saying "Have it near me!" - you'll be the ones having to let people sleep at yours, and be the ones who decide where we're all going etc. Bear that in mind!





*true

[Ste]

for international people - East Midlands Airport is very near to Nottingham and has quite a few cheap flights to and from...

[skiddy]

Anywhere is good for me, although somewhere central would be appreciated.

So.

London's good.

[Tomkat]

I think the location is more important than dates, so whoever wouldn't mind having a few people staying at theirs, or finding out information for B&Bs etc, should volunteer us all going there...

The dates can be sorted after.

[Dace]

i DEMAND it's in the North* some place











* i'm using the queer english definition which means any place past the brum so not necessarily Scotland (Glasgow)

[Dace]

RR's fiance has a big place where people could crash yes/no?

[NEWSBOT3]

sheffield is good.
York's an ace place with plenty of pubs, but is touristy and not that cheap to stay in.

[Nodrog]

It's less than 5 hours to London on the train, and not much more expensive than somewhere like Manchester in terms of travel (I'm guessing).

Not that I'd go anyway.

[MrL_JaKiri]

Cambridge is the only place to be.

[Dace]

Nod you rarely turned up when it was in Glasgow and less than a mile where you were living at the time so ...

[Ste]

In Sheffield it depends how many people come, Me and Stew are here but dunno how many people we could offer floor space too.
Housemates: "So who's coming?"
Me: "These guys off the Internet"
Housemates: "And you've never met them before?"
Me: "no"
Housemates: "umm..."

There's room for a couple i guess!

Cheap Hotels seem to start at around £35.
(although two sharing can get £25 each at one)

[skiddy]

Sheffield actually sounds pretty decent.

Woah they've screwed you over there. It could be worse though, you could have to catch the bus up to Sutton Bonington every day like me!

Well you're not invited as you never answer your bastard phone!

Although of course, you'd be welcome to hitch a ride - you're not sitting in the front though, Andrew is, so I can pretend to miss the gearstick.

I get the impression that if we didn't know his number he would answer it more often.

I think this too. I'm going to start turning off own number sending when calling him.

The miserable bastard.

He's just jealous because his fiance is carrying my child. I'm just embarrassed because we couldn't afford the pushchair.

[Androme]

I'll bring multi-flavoured shit if I can make it.

Since when has that been our problem?

I told you not to get a house in the middle of nowhere.

I told you to move into a city or suburban environment.

I told you. Didn't I tell you?

Besides, I don't know your email address.

[roadrunner_0]

and you do ****ing know it, cos your on my messenger list you git! (even if your never online on there anymore, and i do check!)

I suppose you think living in a place with a signal is beneath you now you're marrying an heiress and you're living in a manor lording it over us folk who have to actually work for a living while you have constant sex with your wife-to-be drinking champagne all day and whipping orphans you make me cry.
