I'm coming to England from 22 till 30 march. Anyone interested in a meetup then?

Meetup data:

Date: March 29
Time: 11:30
Place: B'ham New Street, near the ticket checker people (like last time, really)

Plans:

1.) Lunch/ ph00d devouring competition at pizza hut
2.) visit manga shops for Jaso's negima needs
3.) Pub
4.) Whatever else we can think of

Dark Bring
January 4th, 2008, 09:49 pm
Definitely. 8D

Jaso
January 4th, 2008, 10:04 pm
Why, of course. Brum?

Thorn
January 4th, 2008, 10:16 pm
yes yes (Y)

dont mind where tbh

Jaso
January 4th, 2008, 10:25 pm
Where will you be, Angelic?

Neko Koneko
January 4th, 2008, 10:56 pm
Brum, most likely. But London could be an option I guess.

edit: as long as there's pubs I don't mind =3

Pubs are only hard to find when you're looking for them XD There are indeed some decent ones in London that I found - most of them attached to hostels, but hey, I was hostelling, so what do you expect XD And you can't take Jaso into a pub, so you'll have to ditch him before the drinking! Also, damn you Angelic :( You pulled outta the only meetup I coulda met you at! And butting outta this thread now since I obviously won't be coming unless I win the lottery. Which I don't enter, so that's doubtful.

Neko Koneko

Maybe Spoons and I should go on holidays to Australia once, if we can lodge at your place or something XD

im a maybe for the days proscribed, depends on term dates

Jaso
January 5th, 2008, 11:34 pm
Mah, make it a Saturday - we always do, travel is still available easily and most shops are open. Besides then its free-er for people who have work/school/college/university - which means more people turn out.

EDIT: Actually, if 22nd = Saturday, and 29th also is Saturday, I don't think Saturday is really do-able.

Neko Koneko
January 6th, 2008, 12:09 pm
22 isn't an option, I'll be arriving then. 29th should be fine since I'm returning on the 30th.

I wish I could go and meet up with you all. Too bad I'm 7k miles away. :( Maybe some other time.

correction: my easter holiday is 30th of march till 17th april... no go for me

Jaso
February 11th, 2008, 08:07 pm
Erm... so there is so far Angelic, Jaso, Thorn, DarkBring, and maybe DM.

On 29th March?

And Brum vs. London. Personally, my penny box begs me to go to Birmingham, but I can stretch if I must :(. (After all, the more is the merrier!).

Neko Koneko
February 11th, 2008, 08:41 pm
I'm not going to London x_x

HanTony
February 11th, 2008, 08:48 pm
So it's Angelic, Jaso, Thorn, DarkBring.
I'll be in Birmingham but it will also be my last weekend in town so I really can't say until a days before.

Jaso
February 11th, 2008, 10:28 pm
Please come if possible, oh mighty guide of Brum.

Dark Bring
February 12th, 2008, 01:43 am
I'll be having mid-terms on that week. I'll reconfirm as soon as they put out the exam dates.

HanTony
February 18th, 2008, 07:47 pm
Ya know. I might actually be able to go.
If we meet where we met last time at about 11:30 we could be eating lunch by noon but I suppose it should be decided by peoples train arrival times (Since mine is a local train that runs about every half hour.) So anyone coming should see when's best as an arrival time.

suntao
February 18th, 2008, 08:16 pm
No england trip planned here, i might get a work over the holiday, so it doesnt seem like i can go to this one.

Jaso
February 18th, 2008, 08:25 pm
I will tell you momentarily, I am just checking national rail.

11:30 sounds perfect so far, so let me check.

Jaso
February 18th, 2008, 10:29 pm
Yes, thats good. 11:30 (or even earlier :think: ) is perfect for me: is only 1 hour 40 minute train journey.

Dark Bring
February 27th, 2008, 01:26 am
I'll be having mid-terms on that week. I'll reconfirm as soon as they put out the exam dates.I'm having mid-terms this week! D8

Neko Koneko
February 27th, 2008, 08:49 am
Does that mean you'll be available for the meetup?

You better be!

Thorn
February 27th, 2008, 10:40 pm
dont know if ive posted here since a date has been set

29th March sounds fine to me- wouldnt be able to get there for half 11 though as I teach until 11 on a Saturday morning. I could come and find you around half 12ish

Dark Bring
March 5th, 2008, 07:22 am
Seriously guys any plans for the meetup? .__.

HanTony
March 5th, 2008, 07:27 am
Me getting my collar, Pizza hut, Anime/manga shops, talking and w/e you all wanna do.
Maybe a pub for a few quick drinks.

Neko Koneko
March 5th, 2008, 08:23 am
Screw the collar. Pizza hut, manga shopping, pub.

HanTony
March 5th, 2008, 09:14 am
The collar arrives with a member :D
pub pub pub!

Jaso
March 5th, 2008, 09:03 pm
I'll go to the pub too :lol:

Neko Koneko
March 6th, 2008, 07:44 am
You're too young :/

No beer for Jaso!

edit: on the other hand, drunken Jaso is bound to be hilarious to put on film :P

Thorn
March 6th, 2008, 11:19 am
haha! there is going to be filming? =0

Jaso
March 6th, 2008, 05:06 pm
I haven't been drunk since my father's wedding...x_x

Film! Film! Film! And you don't need to censor my photo with a smilie face either :lol:

random_tangent
March 6th, 2008, 07:43 pm
Well, enough people on here already know what you look like! I still have photos from the last meetup if anyone wants them - I don't remember if I actually ended up posting them anywhere XD

Jaso
March 6th, 2008, 07:45 pm
MSN? Come transfer now if is possible =D

Neko Koneko
March 6th, 2008, 08:11 pm
I still don't want my pic published =p

Dark Bring
March 13th, 2008, 08:28 am
Snow Hill or New Street?

Neko Koneko
March 13th, 2008, 08:50 am
I'm guessing New street.... I think there's a big BBC TV screen there, we met there last time, it's near where they check your ticket... :think:

HanTony
March 13th, 2008, 08:56 am
Last time we met just past the ticket check point, pretty much dead center of the square area.

Neko Koneko
March 13th, 2008, 09:29 am
Opposite the burger king :D

Thorn
March 13th, 2008, 11:47 am
yeah, New Street is the usual place. but if anyone will be getting in at Snow Hill who doesnt know Birmingham that well, i could meet them there to walk to New Street (Y)

HanTony
March 13th, 2008, 12:27 pm
yeah, New Street is the usual place. but if anyone will be getting in at Snow Hill who doesnt know Birmingham that well, i could meet them there to walk to New Street (Y)

So your lesson is cancelled now huh?

Thorn
March 14th, 2008, 10:56 am
i will find out tomorrow- being a saturday and everything =P

Jaso
March 14th, 2008, 08:37 pm
I'll be at Birmingham New Street at 11 - 11:30am =]

Neko Koneko
March 17th, 2008, 10:35 am
Then we'll make sure to have cleared the area before 11 :P

Spoonpuppet
March 18th, 2008, 10:21 pm
I'm gonna be there! (yay! Although to be honest I didn't know much about it until kinda recently)

Where are we going to eat? I'm the sort of person who plans the whole day's activities around food. But please, let's not have Wagamama AND Pizza Hut on the same day. I felt so huge after last time.

Neko Koneko
March 18th, 2008, 11:40 pm
I want pizza hut! D:

random_tangent
March 19th, 2008, 01:31 am
You ALWAYS want pizza hut XD

Neko Koneko
March 19th, 2008, 07:25 am
Pizzahut rules

HanTony
March 19th, 2008, 10:56 am
We could vote but pizza will win :D

Neko Koneko
March 19th, 2008, 11:01 am
Indeed, because my vote automatically overrules the votes of everybody else.

Dark Bring
March 19th, 2008, 08:05 pm
*prepares for showdown at Pizza Hut*

:ph34r:

Neko Koneko
March 19th, 2008, 11:58 pm
I'll eat more than you this time!

HanTony
March 20th, 2008, 12:04 am
I'll eat at my own pace. I'm too small now days to compete @_@

Jaso
March 20th, 2008, 12:08 am
No... more.... raw... juice... :sick:

Neko Koneko
March 20th, 2008, 11:10 am
Ah yes, one raw juice for Jaso :P

Wasn't that at Wagamama though?

Spoonpuppet
March 20th, 2008, 03:49 pm
Yes, the raw juice was at Wagamama. Personally, I think that Jaso thoroughly enjoyed the juice and was just making those faces because he wanted attention. Yup.

I still don't know how DB managed to eat so much pizza... and he even LEFT early.

Neko Koneko
March 20th, 2008, 03:53 pm
But I *WILL* beat him this time >=[

Jaso
March 20th, 2008, 06:45 pm

Did you see the ingredient list!? It was compost in a cup! Smelt like it too :sick:

Spoonpuppet

I think the question is did YOU see the ingredient list BEFORE ordering? :p

Neko Koneko
March 20th, 2008, 10:02 pm
Maybe now isn't the best time to mention the fact that when Jaso was using the little boy's room we all spit in his raw juice? :P

Jaso
March 20th, 2008, 10:18 pm
What!? Oh, no did you really?

HanTony
March 20th, 2008, 11:42 pm
hahaha, i'll speak truth when given reason to :P

(29th, 11:30)

Nate River

*cries* I wish I could come. I doubt flying overseas is very cheap though.

...but I do like Pizza Hut.

*counts his pennies*

*cries more*

Neko Koneko
March 21st, 2008, 11:21 am
What!? Oh, no did you really?

Of course not :P

Jaso
March 21st, 2008, 02:14 pm
You scared me then :\

Scotland sucks =[ Train fares are expensive and the passengers are rude.

And they speak weird.

Neko Koneko
March 21st, 2008, 02:42 pm
You speak weird :P

Spoonpuppet
March 21st, 2008, 04:36 pm
I agree.

PFT_Shadow
March 22nd, 2008, 11:36 am
XD im already missing the fact that i cant come this time
i think i could give angelic a run for his money food wise

Spoonpuppet
March 26th, 2008, 11:47 am
First post updated :sorc:

Jaso
March 26th, 2008, 05:31 pm
You put 29th of April... :think:

HanTony
March 26th, 2008, 06:02 pm
Well we all know what is meant (March, yes this month)

Spoonpuppet
March 26th, 2008, 08:41 pm
You put 29th of April... :think:

This isn't actually Spoony :shifty:

And how DARE you say that I, ME, and MYSELF could EVER make such a mistake? *roar*

*waves banstick* muhahahah!

HanTony
March 26th, 2008, 10:31 pm
Well we all know which one uses the "banstick" :P

Jaso
March 26th, 2008, 11:08 pm
I wonder what became of the ban-wand...

Thorn
March 27th, 2008, 01:00 pm
ban stick?

Spoonpuppet
March 27th, 2008, 08:08 pm
Kekekeke :devil:

random_tangent
March 27th, 2008, 09:11 pm
Obviously Thorn missed that particular set of matching signatures XD And I'm still annoyed that I can't come. Next time I'm in England/ Europe I'm hunting people DOWN, I tells ya!

HanTony
March 29th, 2008, 08:46 am
Today :lol:

I'll be wearing my light gray hoodie "University of plymouth"
I'm setting off at 11:00 so I'll be there anytime from 11:15 depending on local train times.

Jaso
March 29th, 2008, 10:26 pm
Just got back! tirred..... must... sleep...

HanTony
March 29th, 2008, 11:05 pm
wow we left at about 6:30 and your only just back XD

T'was a fun and rewarding day :lol:

Dark Bring
March 30th, 2008, 01:25 am
What. The.

I thought it was Sunday.

HanTony
March 30th, 2008, 10:10 am
then you are as blind/careless as a corpse :P

Neko Koneko

LIES!

Jaso
March 30th, 2008, 05:23 pm
So it's all agreed that Thorn, who was closer than anyone, who failed to turn up deserves a good ban-stick thrashing? :lol:

random_tangent
March 30th, 2008, 08:58 pm
Um, don't you think you should let him explain himself first? XD

HanTony
March 30th, 2008, 09:27 pm
Um, don't you think you should let him explain himself first? XD

He woke up about 2 hours late and so we waited arround at pizzhut for a while until we rephoned just for him to say he changed his mind due to feeling a little unwell :/

Neko Koneko
March 30th, 2008, 10:35 pm
Probably got a dildo stuck up his.... [beeeep]

Thorn
March 30th, 2008, 10:43 pm
lol... thanks for that =P

well i went out friday night and woke up really late with an evil hangover, and i thought if i had a shower and some food then id be alright to come, but it didnt work out that way...

so basically Thorn missed the meet because he had a bit too much to drink the night before... and naturally like Angelic says, because of incidents with a dildo that i wont go into =P

Neko Koneko
March 30th, 2008, 10:46 pm
:drinking:

Dark Bring
March 30th, 2008, 10:58 pm
LIES!How long will you be around for again?

Neko Koneko
March 31st, 2008, 08:50 am
I'm already home :P

Dark Bring
