View Full Version : 2006 Christmas meeting (Birmingham)

There we go again, I'm going to England again (w00t) so it's time for another official England meetup, and what time of the year is more beautiful for that than somewhere around Christmas, where we're freezing our butts off in the chilling cold while the Christmas lights shine upon us and little kids complain about their presents to their mums while shopping and demanding better ones?

I have no idea what or where or when yet, but of course that's what this thread is for. For food I was thinking of Wagamama or whatever it's called, since they serve Japanese food with chopsticks. Fun fun fun and it tastes good too. Other than that, ideas please. Meeting place could be the Bullring bull statue, every brummy knows to find that and if you're not from Birmingham just ask a random Brummy. Not the ones that come in your direction though because before you know it they get you to take a stress test and you don't want that. Anyway:

update 30/10/06: changed meeting place to New Street station

Details:

Date - 3 January
Time - 12:30
Meeting place - New Street station (behind the ticket checkers)

Oh, if you can't come because you're not in England (or rather, the UK) then please don't post here, because we have a lot of members from America and if they all posted that they can't come this thread will be flooded with messages that they can't come and that's not what this thread is for.

So if you can't come, DON'T POST PLEASE! Thank you.

Unless you're one of the people who's pretty much expected by the others to show up. You know who you are, you were there at the previous meeting, lolz0rz.

Details:

Date - unknown (but around Christmas)
Time - unknown
Meeting place - Bullring bull


Things to do:

Wagamama - Japanese/modern style noodle restaurant. If you have an account with Studentbeans.com, they might be having a 2 for 1 deal ~
Christmas German market - They have this biiiig market with loads of stalls, and it's really nice to walk through and have a look, even if you're not buying anything.
Bullring - Like in Selfridge's food court, and the edible worms.... ^^ And other shops in there too ~
Forbidden Planet - Yes, Brum has one too!! Okay, so it's not so shiny as the one in London...

Meeting place: Probably in New Street station, so people don't have to go searching for the bullring, lol. Make sure that you go through the MAIN entrance and not the Victoria Square one.

Date: I think Angelic's coming on 19th December? So hopefully soon after that. Like 21st, I don't know. Saves me/us having to go back to Spoonsville from Brum several times over the holiday.

*raises hand* i shall be coming :D

i agree new street station is the better meeting place... otherwise im having visions of having to go round Birmingham trying to find people who have gotten themselves lost and managed to find their way to the other side of town :P

October 30th, 2006, 08:05 pm
i shall be comming if its before the 17th of december. if not it'll be hit and miss wether i can make it
edit: ok worked out how much it'll cost me.... just need somewhere to crash if i do coz the times suck

huh.. just checked your ages, seems we are all oldish... (might as well meet in pub)

Neko Koneko
October 30th, 2006, 08:57 pm
Not sure about that, there might be younger people coming too. We can always see on the day of the meeting, when the youngsters leave we old geezers can always find our way to the pub ;)

Spoonpuppet
October 30th, 2006, 09:01 pm
I'm not a geezer... don't leave me behind. :cry:

Neko Koneko
October 30th, 2006, 09:02 pm
The old geezers :gramps: and the lady then (or ladies, depending on who shows up)

Thorn
October 30th, 2006, 09:57 pm
hehe- well like Angelic said we could always shimmy to the pub once we are there and stuff (if people want to that is)

@HanTony- oi, watch who you're calling old :P

@PFT- you can crash at mine if you need to *nods* (unless its a thursday or a saturday and i have money in which case you can come clubbing which wont involve much crashing :D)

just had a thought about the younger people- i doubt any under 18s living outside of Brum would be able to shimmy up really- and as far as i can see there's none actually living round here- so it will probably be okay for the pub

w00t, there's direct trains from where I live so I can do it in a day trip - I'd get there just before midday and be leaving not long after 5. Sound alright? I'd rather not meet up on a Sunday 'cause all the trains are buggered x_x Wagamamamama sounds good XD

Sephiroth
October 31st, 2006, 02:21 pm
I shall try to be there although I won't know until closer to the date. sorry guys but im going to have to be a last minute decision on this 1. at the moment my finances are non existant so I'm hoping things would have changed by then. if so then I will make every effort to get there and get drunk. ^_^

October 31st, 2006, 03:43 pm
What date are we looking at? 20th?

I'll be kicked out of Florence on the 15th, after which I have to go to Milan and, possibly, to the UK is there's a meetup. I was planning on going to Edinburg anyways.

XD Wagamamamama...

And yeah, proposed date should be 20th, 21st, or 22nd. Not 23rd because it's a Saturday (you'll never make it out alive on a saturday), and then there's Christmas after that.

HanTony
October 31st, 2006, 08:49 pm
some schools/colleges dont finnish until friday 22nd in england, so i sugest friday 22nd as the earlyest possible unless only older peops can be bothered

Neko Koneko
October 31st, 2006, 08:59 pm
Depends I guess, if no younger people apply here in this thread it won't matter, lol.

*ninja appear!*

As of this moment, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to attend the Christmas meeting. Hopefully I will be able to confirm this in the coming weeks.

*ninja vanish!*

November 1st, 2006, 09:28 am
Hihi! Since Angelic got Spoony to poke me XD I shall reply! Um...I'm not sure if I'll be able to come yet. Depends what day it is. If I do, might be easier if everyone in London booked trains together so we could have a less boring train journey to and fro. I'll keep you updated on moi.

HanTony
November 1st, 2006, 02:01 pm
my suggestion

lets make things simple. the first location possible from trains is just after the ticket check gates so we should meet there or somewhere close.
fri 22nd about 12:30 til whenever

everyone post pic of self in profile.

if knowone agrees with this someone else make suggestion

p.s looking forward to it.

Neko Koneko
November 1st, 2006, 04:02 pm
Haha, no way I'm posting my pic on the internet. You'll see me when I get there =p

Spoonpuppet
November 1st, 2006, 05:58 pm
'Twas of our hands, Dark Bring, our hands. Keep up! And most of us were at the London summer meetup anyway, so hopefully none of us have changed drastically. (Apart from Angelic who has lost loads of weight from being in hospital and is going to change his hair - don't worry, it'll still be tall guy with little Chinese girl following him)

Neko Koneko
November 1st, 2006, 06:03 pm
Rather the other way around, you know brum better than I do.

Spoonpuppet
November 1st, 2006, 06:15 pm
Lol, at first when I read that, I thought "tall Chinese girl and little guy?", hehe. Actually, I meant cos you walk faster than I do, being taller and all. ^^

Neko Koneko
November 1st, 2006, 06:15 pm
Me walk fast? Ah, another way of recognizing me. Tall guy who walks a bit funny.

Jaso
November 1st, 2006, 08:03 pm

Thorn
November 1st, 2006, 09:55 pm

but if i go, i will be the one with the huge banner this time :D

just because i think it would be amazingly funny

Madmazda86
November 2nd, 2006, 12:34 pm
Hihi, are we gonna pin down a date for this soonishly? Just my friend's 21st birthday celebrations are around the dates for the meetup so I need to know whether to turn down her invitation or not :)

Thorn
November 2nd, 2006, 01:07 pm
wouldn't it be better for you to tell us when your friend's birthday is so we can plan around it?

as if you would turn her down to come to a meet *tuts* especially when it's her 21st- thats like one of the big ones

Neko Koneko
November 2nd, 2006, 01:58 pm
I think Friday sounds nice :mellow: That's the 22nd right?

Madmazda86
November 4th, 2006, 10:18 am
I've had a think about the whole thing and I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass up on the meetup this time I'm afraid - even though I don't know the person whose 21st it is that well, it looks like a lot of my old schoolfriends are coming to the 21st party and I want to meet up with them again. They're all going out in the evening after ice-skating which means I'd be staying overnight, and it's scheduled for the 21st December so it'll clash with the meetup. In addition this is all a bit close to Christmas and I want to have a bit of time with my family beforehand. I'll be up for another summer meetup though :) Sorry guys - it's just all too close together so I can't fit everything in.

Jaso
November 4th, 2006, 04:25 pm
So, what will we do when we meet up at 12:30?

Thorn
November 4th, 2006, 04:31 pm
anything people want :)

at the london one we had a vague plan, but then ended up just being more spontaneous and sorting things out there and then.

depends what other people want to do- i mean i can go up brum whenever i want, so my thoughts dont really count (not that i have any anyway- please dont ask my opinion what to do because im rubbish at stuff like that)

HanTony
November 5th, 2006, 11:13 am
only thing i can think of is german market.

Jaso
November 5th, 2006, 01:07 pm
:cry: I might not be able to come :cry:

School finishes on the 22nd of December! The cruelty! It's because its a Catholic School...

I might take a week off though :shifty:

Thorn
November 17th, 2006, 03:19 pm
skip and come :P

*bad influence but doesnt care*

its like a month away now!

Neko Koneko
November 17th, 2006, 06:17 pm
I really hope I'll be in any shape by then x_x

Thorn
November 28th, 2006, 04:14 pm
me too!

is this still planned for 22nd december then?

HanTony
November 28th, 2006, 05:42 pm
Yeah........what time in the day? Anytime is good for me.

Jaso
November 28th, 2006, 06:08 pm
Just in case Angelic can't come for 22nd, I can come anytime after Christmas...

Otherwise I can't go...

HanTony
November 28th, 2006, 06:12 pm
@Jaso, Angelic is visiting the country so its kinda the only time he can do so. There will probably be a summer meet up though.

Jaso
November 28th, 2006, 06:16 pm
<_< hopefully then, then...

Neko Koneko
November 28th, 2006, 10:06 pm
I wonder if we should have the summer meetup in London again... last time wasn't a great success I think, it was too hot and too busy, lol XD Had a good time, but not thanks to the location, just the people XD

random_tangent
November 28th, 2006, 10:43 pm
For God's sakes with the Summer meetup, make it somewhere the poor Aussie can find without too much difficulty, or I'm going to get WILDLY lost trying to find you all!

Neko Koneko
November 28th, 2006, 10:53 pm
London's too big, you'd get lost. Let's keep Birmingham XD

HanTony
November 29th, 2006, 07:53 am
*Sings a song of Birmingham*

What time in the day will we meet?
Where will we meet?

It's on the first page of this thread.

November 29th, 2006, 04:24 pm
Do you want me to perhaps sugest places for summer after the Christmas ones? I have some ideas...

Neko Koneko
November 29th, 2006, 04:33 pm
It'll likely be either Birmingham or London, since that seems to be easier for most people.

Jaso
November 29th, 2006, 05:23 pm
Manchester sounds good too ^_^

anyway...

<_< meh... <_<

:spam: material

Manchester is a good city I guess, but most of us are down in London. It takes like 3hours to get to manchester by train.

The main reason why we dont' go there is because if you're going to make it a city that not many people know of, it's really hard to organise. If you're the only one in manchester, its necessary that YOU turn up to direct everyone whereas london (around 7 people) or birmingham (4 people if you inc Ang), there's more leaway for attendance.

It turns into a disaster if you're not organised.

HanTony
November 29th, 2006, 06:56 pm
New street station, is a large place. you wanna be more specific, such as just after the ticket checkers.(wide open bit, can't miss it)

Spoonpuppet
November 29th, 2006, 09:53 pm
Yeah, past the ticket "barriers" which are actually just people in a uniform of sorts just talking over all the passing people and not actually looking at your ticket :P There's some escalators right in front you with a Burger King to the right of it. Just wait around in that area.

Oh, and I reiterate: If you're on a B platform (so 4b, 7b etc.), make sure you go out the MAIN entrance and NOT the Victoria Square one. If you're still confused, just follow the crowd.

Thorn
November 30th, 2006, 09:35 am
would probably be a good idea to make some kind of list of who's definately coming, so we know who to wait for/look for if they get lost?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS MEETING IN ADVANCE,

I regret to inform you that I will be in Norway freezing my ass off and consequently will be not be able to attend the Christmas meeting.

Neko Koneko
December 9th, 2006, 07:24 am
So that leaves:

Angelic
Spoonpuppet
Thorn
PFT
Hantony

Not much of a meeting anymore I'd say... maybe we should move it to the new year?

December 9th, 2006, 09:41 am
0_0 Then I would come! 0_0

PLease do if it not too much trouble. :lol::lol::lol:

December 9th, 2006, 09:43 am
How about everyone puts up when they WILL be able to attend between 1 and 6 of January?

Thorn
December 9th, 2006, 10:47 am
any day apart from the 1st :P

although the list for the christmas meet is bigger than last years when it was just me, angelic and spoony =P

Neko Koneko
December 9th, 2006, 10:53 am
That's so true, but still, it just keeps getting smaller and smaller ;_;

Well.....That sucks. Wont the German market be gone then?
I can come any day as its only a short train ride away. actually college starts again on the 3rd, so if i am to come it will have to be either the original date, tuesday 2nd or saturday 6th.

Jaso
December 9th, 2006, 06:18 pm
any, but everyone will be pissed on 1st/2nd so perhaps 3-6 is better but I can fit any

Invain
December 9th, 2006, 06:38 pm
You guys actually know each other in real life.

That's sooo cool.

Jaso
December 9th, 2006, 06:41 pm
... I have never been to a meetup...

How is it cool?

HanTony
December 9th, 2006, 06:44 pm
I find it odd that i want to meet strangers that i met on the internet. Don''t the police discourage such activities because of peadophiles ect.

Jaso
December 9th, 2006, 06:45 pm
We can't ALL be peados though can we? Anyway, this is a group and we have posted pics and we have met before (some of us) and... yeah...

Invain
December 9th, 2006, 06:58 pm
I mean you met before...so...it's not the first meating.

I don't go and meet everyone from the internet, but it's just that this community is really that what it is, because it's not all strangers talking to each other.

Jaso
December 9th, 2006, 06:59 pm
for most people anyway...

Thorn
December 9th, 2006, 07:04 pm
i was at uni with Spoony for a term (before i dropped out) so i knew she wasn't a paedo. then i met with her and Angelic, so i knew he wasnt a paedo.

so when i went to the London meet in the summer i knew there were 2 people for definate who i knew weren't dodgy. and luckily we had no 40 year old man turning up with a white van so yeah =P

but to be honest, as long as there are a group of us, it's okay. unlike if you just met someone one on one from the net- i would strongly advise against that unless you know for a fact you can trust them.

Spoonpuppet
December 9th, 2006, 07:56 pm
Yup, as a group it is much safer. For general meeting-up-saftey, try to get hold of picture(s) of some/all of the people you're meeting with, and make sure somebody (like a friend or a parent) knows where you are. Then you can keep them up-to-date about where you are.

Jaso
December 9th, 2006, 10:11 pm
Now why would a peado write advice like that?

[/proof]

ok going to sleep.

Very happy that I can meet group now.

Bye ^_^

PFT_Shadow
December 10th, 2006, 01:33 pm
well i shud be free everyday between 1st and 6th if thats whats gunna happen. lol aslong as u dont say 7th, coz thats my day

Jaso
December 10th, 2006, 03:07 pm
I think the 3rd is the best date.

What about others?

Neko Koneko
December 10th, 2006, 10:07 pm
So now we have:

- Angelic
- Spoonpuppet
- Thorn
- Hantony
- PFT
- Jaso

And maybe Sephi if he can get a day off work. I think we should let him see what day he can get off (if any) and report back, since everyone else seems available at any day between 2 and 6 January.

Jaso
December 11th, 2006, 04:15 pm
I think 3rd is ideal. So is 4th.

HanTony
December 11th, 2006, 04:18 pm
I vote 3rd

PFT_Shadow
December 12th, 2006, 11:03 am
any, just decide Asap

Jaso
December 12th, 2006, 11:31 am
Well... 2 out of 6 people vote 3rd... what do others think?

Thorn
December 12th, 2006, 11:45 am
well i say we stop fannying about.

right- out of the list, me, angelic, spoony and pft dont really care.

jaso and hantony agree on the 3rd

sephi may come if he can get a day off work, but surely it would be easier for him to ask for a specific day?

so lets just say the 3rd- be decisive for once.

you know it makes sense :P

i dont have to get the dildos out now do i?

Neko Koneko
December 12th, 2006, 11:47 am
We're waiting for what Sephi says, he's trying to get the third off, so we'll wait for him to report back on that, then we'll decide on what we'll do.

December 12th, 2006, 03:14 pm

Boo :( Party Pooper! You better have time during the summer though XD

Jaso
December 12th, 2006, 05:08 pm
I think we should let Sephi's manager decide then...

Neko Koneko
December 12th, 2006, 06:24 pm
Haha, basically. The idea is just that if everyone can come on the 5th (for example) it would be more logical to pick that date. That's why we're waiting. It's not because I want to be an arse, lol. I'm not an arse I hope? x_x

Jaso
December 12th, 2006, 07:27 pm
*Sweats* erm... I... err...

Only joking of course not! :heh:

Neko Koneko
December 14th, 2006, 01:55 pm
Alright, Sephi can't come, so now there remains the next choice:

22nd, meaning we can go to the German market, but Jaso won't be able to come.
3rd, meaning we'll have Jaso but no German market.

Personally, I don't mind if there won't be a Christmas market, I can always go there with Spoony before Christmas. However, Jaso should realise that he'll be the youngest, I believe everyone else is over 18, so he might end up feeling a bit of an outsider because of the age gap x_x

HanTony
December 14th, 2006, 02:15 pm
Well i dislike Jaso, and youngsters in general, so you can decide. ^_^

Spoonpuppet
December 14th, 2006, 02:36 pm
Yup, and we'll all be drinking beer/mulled wine, lol.

Thorn
December 14th, 2006, 04:04 pm
i actually hate the xmas market so i vote 3rd.

Neko Koneko
December 14th, 2006, 04:35 pm
I vote the third too. I think Spoony will agree =p she told me there's plenty of other stuff to do in Brum, lol. I'm pretty sure Jaso'll vote 3 too.

So far:

22: Hantony
3: Angelic, Spoon, Dildoman, Jaso
Undecided: PFT

I think that makes it pretty clear ^^; The third it is then.

HanTony
December 14th, 2006, 04:43 pm
Erm....Any of the days are good so 3rd wins. see you all then XD

Jaso
December 14th, 2006, 05:12 pm
Thanks so much ^_^

I read over the thread an was scared I couldn't come... you make me feel so tiny... :(

Glad that I can come though and I thank you that the date was revvised solely for my benefit. You guys are so great. ^_^

I think I will lay off alchohol anyway after the last climatic episode... Glad Wolfie is gone now after she told be she didn't like me... 0_0

What's the difference between tonic water and water. Is it the sparking stuff?

Chaps and chappettes (or chapatis) - I'm still not sure if I can come. My parents are inviting lots of people at random dates so not sure when any of them are meant to be coming round. I'll fill you in later sorry.

Should't we exchange phone numbers in case we get lost or something?

HanTony
December 27th, 2006, 06:44 pm
If you get lost right after the ticket checkers then you are lost in life XD

If you mean during the day then we shouldn't sepperate anyway so it does not matter does it. Maybe some of us could PM our numbers but i never use my phone so i have no point.

P.S. see you soon.

Jaso
December 27th, 2006, 06:53 pm

Thorn

Sorry guys, change of plan for me and Spoony. I'm really worried about my health right now, having chest pains and some things that might mean I have some heart trouble, and I don't really feel like dropping dead on you guys when walking around the city.

Thorn
December 30th, 2006, 08:17 pm

Jaso
December 31st, 2006, 10:14 am
