After great consideration

Tigereye & ils


Would like to announce that the

Dublin
Survivor-Online
Meeting

Is to be held the weekend of

21st – 23rd October 2005
(Friday – Sunday)


As yet nothing else is arranged, we have not thought about the itinerary, the hotel /bb that we hope to use or where we will meet up etc so please bear with us on this. Once we have an idea of how many are coming and who they are we, can start to make the arrangements.

If you are thinking of joining us could you please state if you are definitely able to come or you are a maybe, if you would be coming alone or with a partner/friend, if you are bringing young children, what airport you would be flying from and what airline you would use if you are not in Ireland.

It would be nice if we could all arrange to arrive in Ireland around the same time and use the same hotel/bb as to make it a real party weekend.

Everyone is welcome, so even if you are new to the forum, we would love you to join us.


Tigereye & ils



Could a mod please pin this!

BTW -We ended up choosing October because the 6 nations cup is held in Feb/Mar and the dates that we were thinking of clashed with Ireland playing at home!

Note from ils – I hope as many of us as possible can make this meet as the lovely Tigereye & Urk have been stars by attended at least 4 of the meets in this country. It would be lovely if we could take a big crowd over for the meet in their fair city. Do try to come if you can.


For those of you that can’t make the Dublin Meet and are looking forward to the next London Meet that will be held next February, details of that to follow in a separate thread in the near future.

TE and ils, I'm a definite maybe, as in I definitely want to go and could probably get permission to go, but depends very much on finances. I expect I'll be flying cheapy jet from London City airport and coming very much alone!

I'm a definate...and both of my brothers , may be coming too.

What airport will you be flying from Cat?

What airport will you be flying from Cat?

Luton probably...but if I do end up traveling on my own I will arrange to meet others at another airport as I am a big scaredy poo and terrified of flying so I will need to hold somebodies hand.

I think Ryanair is the cheapie from there Fee!

I don't blame you Patsy! Can you get to Gatwick easily?

I can get there easier, but London City is cheaper, I think. Could be wrong though. Thanks for asking.

£5.99 each way on those dates:w00t:

(Not that I can see myself getting the 08.15 on the Sunday morning...)

Blimey...getting excited about this..and still go the Portsmouth to come.

YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'd definitely consider going to this meet.

But....it will come down to finances and other commitments.

So, provided I can afford it, and provided I have nothing else planned which can't be changed/postponed, I will be there!

Unfortunately I probably won't be able to make this meet, even though I'd love to come.
Down to money (we ain't got any) and getting there from dear old Norfolk would be a bit of a treck.

:sad:

OOoooh, only just spotted this - AM THRILLED at the response so far. If I can do anything regarding organisation of travel, or any sort of help at all, give me a shout!!

I still it'd be much more fun if you all went on a mini-bus to Holyhead, then got the ferry.

Oh yes, that sounds like such fun. :wacko:

just had a quick scan on flights and found these so far


Return:
From: Gatwick £88 inc. taxes
Luton £74 inc. taxes
Newcastle £77 inc taxes
Leed/Bradford £93 inc taxes

Off now to do more checking, but I reckon that's kinda the benchmark to work to guys! I've worked out that if you take £80 as the average fare, and its 24 weeks til the meet, if you save £3.33 per week from now until then you'd have it covered.

BEER money is at your own discretion!! :devil:

Good work TE :D

There is a very small (or maybe not so small) chance that I may be able to make this meet. I'm currently planning to come to London for six months on a work visa...but haven't determined whether I will be going from about September-February or from January-June.

I'll probably be deciding within the next month or two so I'll let you know if I make any final decisions. If I do end up coming, I'd obviously fly in to Dublin from the London area.

RIGHT!

Coastie and her Mum would like to announce that they will definately be attending this grand adventure....Coasties Mum also would like to say...Thank-you for allowing her to crash this party...she has always wanted to go to Dublin and has blown off a previous engagement to enter this grand adventure into her diary.....she sends rosie poots to you all!

:laugh:

Accommodation

Fee & I have spent hours searching the web, looking at suitable accommodation near the Centre of Dublin, and Fee came up with The Millennium Tower Apartments (http://www.latebreaks.com/destinations/countries/dublin-hotels-millennium.html)

Millennium Tower Apartments
Millennium Walk, Abbey Street, Dublin 1.
Finished to an impressive standard, our apartments provide the visitor with a home from home, avoiding the sense of tedium that so often comes with hotel lodgings. From our main apartment block, it is a five-minute stroll to the world-famous Trinity College where the Book of Kells can be seen. Most of Dublin's famous areas are within a few minutes' walk (Temple bar about 5 minutes).
» TV/DVD in all apartments
» Bed linen and towels
» Washer/dryer
» Iron/ironing board and hairdryer provided
» Full central heating
» Complimentary tea/coffee making facilities
» Cot/high chair available upon request
» Rollaway sofa bed in all apartments
» Elevator to all floors

1 bed apartments that sleep 1-3 people for 278 euros (£190) for 2 nights

2 bed apartments that sleep 2-5 people for 358 euros (£245) for 2 nights

which is pretty reasonable.

So we have booked a 2 bed apartment for 2 nights Friday 21st - Sun 23rd Oct.

Please pm Fee For All, if you require anymore details of these apartments ...

Isn't it a bit early to be asking for definites, travel arrangements etc? It's half a year away - why the need to have it all set in stone so far ahead? To be honest, I often don't know until a week or two in advance what's going on in my life, so making far off plans like this and having to give definite yesses or nos isn't possible for me.

SF - Just because YOU don't know where your @rse is this week or next [I've seen the photies - explains a lot] doesn't mean that organised peeps can't be organised...

oh and yeh, flights and hotels ARE CHEAPER DAW BRAIN when you book them early......

I need to plan well ahead to secure my weekend away. I am the lowly person in this house hold and usually have to fit round everyone else's plans, so if something else does come up we have time to re-arrange things.

For example....driving down to Portsmouth means that lifts have to be secured for both boys for their respective footy tournements that day and possible child care needs to be arranged.

Basically I have to get in there first.

So in the words of Freddie Laker and his pals Toot and Ploot.."Book Early!"

Erm.....forget the footie simply go for the packet of biscuits and shut them in the cupboard technique....! :blink:

Right you can add me and mum to the flights booked list!

We're flying from Southampton with Fly.be (more convienient and by the time we have paid train/coach to another airport the difference is made up) and will arrive Dublin at 0805 on the friday 21st October and depart at 2055 on the Sunday 23rd October.....woo wooo!

We just need a place to lay our weary heads now.....any ideas TE....preferably not to expensive a cheap and cheerful B&B would be ideal!!? :blink:

Not cheap enough I'm afraid...I shall do a bit of looking around........although 5 sharing the tab of £245 works out at £49 each I think...so yeah that's cheap if it's 5 sharing.....

So who wants in with Coastie and her mum (like I said she is house trained but does snore, grind her teeth and slobber a bit in her sleep!)

I'll have a look around for B&b's if you like Coastie - but they are nearly as dear as hotels over here. PM me your requirements, budget etc and I'll do a Hercule Poirot for ya!!!

Marvellous! Details to follow TE!

May go for the room for 1-3 as my mums snoring can be a bit scarey and I apparently whimper and whine in my sleep so maybe we had best be on our own! :blush:

£40 a night....hmmmm.....does it include breakfast?

Coastie, I've been having a little search around myself, just on the off chance, you never know.
But found this (http://bargains.igh.co.uk/ppc.php?track=MTA5Nz0xMjQ3NjAmYmlka2V5d29yZD1jaGVh cCBob3RlbHMgaW4gZHVibGluJmJpZG1hdGNoPXMmcHJvdmtleX dvcmQ9ZHVibGluIGhvdGVscw%3D%3D) site, don't know if it might help.

Has anyone thought of staying at the international youth hostel?
I've stayed there twice and it's pretty good. Although the rooms are supposed to be single sex when I went with a large group they let us all just take over one room which slept 16. Aslo there is no curfew.
I also satyed in a really nice B&B on the clontarf road it was about £25 a night, but it is a bus ride or 20 min walk. I also know of another great hotel right in the centre which is about £50 but I forget the name now! I'll hunt it out.

Forgot to say that the YHA do rooms for 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9 plus dorms
Prices are 20 euros but I think there may be a supplement for the smaller rooms. Good deal I think! It's very central too

I did consider all options Bob, but I thought the Millennium Tower was pretty good value £250 for 2 nights between 5 only works out at £50 each for 2 nights, I don't think you would get much better than that in the middle of Dublin.....

Are there many rooms left in the millenium tower and is it a fight over who gets the beds and who sleeps on the floor!

I am not sure how many rooms are left as Fee booked the room Bob and as for the fight for the beds, it really depends on how many come :wink2:

I like the towers...no youth hosteling for me I'm afraid.

Waiting for one of my brothers to confirm - the other has said he will have to leave it till nearer the time.

I WAN'T TO BOOK TOO!

Cat...same question but a touch more subtle!

Cat......

How old are your brothers.........oh really...and what do they do....uh huh..oh right....so married then....oh their not oh right I just would have thought anyone related to such a class girl as you would have been swept up long ago........ :laugh:

Cat brother senior is 49 and single - never married and not gay...just a pub/footy type...but very very funny.

Cat brother junior is 36 and in long term relationship - they live in Dorset and he is Head of Graphics for the Sunday Times you know. I'm not sure wether he is bringing girlfriend...but she is very nice and will enjoy her self...just not a huge swiller.

They would both fit in beautifully. I might even ask my sister yet....Cat Sister Super Senior she would fit in too.

We shall see.

x

Well that's my mum sorted then....but Cat really you can't say both brothers are fit and only bring one that's available! :cry:

Sorry Coastie, he was promised to me a long time ago!

Sorry Coastie, he was promised to me a long time ago!

Tart!

I shall just have to bring Rusty along....he lost his foot in Egypt but after a bit of emergency surgury he's doing alright again now! :blink:

Well I haven't booked travel things yet - but I am happy to share a 5 bed apartment in the Millenium Tower with anyone really! As long as it is 50 quid or so - I am easy - I don't mind the Youth Hostel either or a B&B.. But TE says B&B's are just as expensive as hotels - and you always have anonymity with hotels, but then you may get a really lovely landlady who cooks MEGA fantastic breakfasts - Oh I don't know??

Just call me easy!! If you DARE??:devil:

Well done flip flop. If Buzz, Patsy or any of my family can't confirm soon...I'm damn well going to book my flight..and we could be 2 of 5 in the Millenium Tower !! We could do it like big brother..no one knows who they are sharing with...strangers could walk into your apartment ready to spend the next 3 days with you!!!!!

This is so exciting :shutup:

I think probably the best thing to do then, is once everyone who is coming has booked their flights, we can book some appartments and then decide who can share with who.

There are 2 bed appartments that sleep 5 and 1 bed that sleep 3, so I am sure we could fill a few of them between us.

and we could be 2 of 5 in the Millenium Tower !! We could do it like big brother..no one knows who they are sharing with...strangers could walk into your apartment ready to spend the next 3 days with you!!!!!

This is so exciting :shutup:

Oky kokey Cat - I will get round to doing something at some point in the next few months - but yeah happy with that!:w00t:

My trawling round google has generated a couple of emails listing other apartment style accommodation, available for that weekend. If anyone is interested, pm me your email addie and I'll forward them!

Also www.gogartys.ie (/http://www.gogartys.ie/) has hostel and apartment type accommodation.

http://www.travelireland.org/dublin/bed_and_breakfasts.html has loads of b&bs. Most are around 36 euros for a double/twin and 50 euros single. Plus as they are more suburban, will be further out, but I'm sure TE can confirm costs of taxis back late at night etc.

I think Ils is right about flights though - once they're booked we can do Cat's bib brother scenario! Celebrity of course!! Who's going to be Jackie...:blink:

Right....Coastie and Mum are booked into the Millenium Hotel......having had a chat with mum she is happy to pay £40 a night so we've gone for it.....

also.....

Coasties mate has always wanted to go to Dublin so if she is around at the time she may well jump on a plane and join us so since we already have an apartment that sleeps 3 she can simply jump in with me n mum....she was my mums lodger for a year and so knows all about the snoring, slobbering and teeth grinding and my wimpering so she will have her ear plugs! :laugh:

Coastie and Mum are booked into the Millenium Hotel

Great stuff Coastie :funky:

I've sent my mate all the info and hopefully if she is around and not jet setting off somewhere to return and illegal immigrant or pick up an injured person she will be coming.......wooo! :wacko:

Dublin really doesn't know what's coming does it! :laugh:

Dublin won't be seeing me, I'm afraid. :cry: Hopefully I'll make it to see you all next time.

Dublin won't be seeing me, I'm afraid. :cry: Hopefully I'll make it to see you all next time.

Dublin will be a sadder place without our own very special Wookie!!

But roll on next time!!:)

Dublin won't be seeing me, I'm afraid. :cry: Hopefully I'll make it to see you all next time.

That is a real shame dab :cry: Hopefully you will be able to make the next London meet!

No, it's nice and clean and unused, just as you left it.

I went on it with Mr P.......... twice. Once because I had to because I was there; and the second time because I was so terrified the first time, the photograph was rubbish. The worst bit is the journey up and the first part of the drop, the rest of it is faaaaaaaaantastic.

............... and the pubs there are great.

How about Blackpool!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh we could all stay at my mum and dads :drinking:

I love the big one!
Has anyone been in that haunted house where they have actors dressed up as zombies chasing you around?
I nearly pooed my pants. I was at the back of a group and suddenly this scary man started chasing us with a chainsaw. I was so scared I started pushing all the people in front screaming run! If anyone has been in you'll know what I mean when I say it's a bit of a shock when you exit :laugh:

Fee...let me put your mind at rest.

I have today completed negotiations with Ryan Air to transport myself, Patsy and Cat to Dublin on friday 21st October 2005 at 16.25 in the pm. They are then instructed to hunt every public house in Dublin on Sunday, find us and transport us back to London Luton airport at 18.00 in the pm.

Whether Cat deicdes to park her ar$e in the seat I have very obligingly booked for her is another matter....

Thanks Buzz! That's you and me off the hook when ils gets back then. can't say I can hold out much hope for the others though.........

Right I'll see you by the swings after class..... :boxing:

I was just talking to Urk and some mates about the weekend, asking them for ideas etc, and I was just thinking that maybe a 12.30 start to the drinking sesh on the saturday is a bit early.


It'll be the only full day ye will have there, so we were thinking maybe you'd like to do something - I dunno - like hop on the dart and go and look at Bono's house [kidding - but Dalkey is a lovely place for lunch] or head up the mountains for a pint, or even just have a mooch around the city [with the sterling exchange shopping might be an option - get all your christmas pressies sorted!!]

and then maybe meet up in Temple Bar / Grafton Street in the early evening - 5 ish? - for obscenely large amounts of gargle and a nose bag?

Sunday maybe a jazz lunch for the craic?

Friday night - there's a place called the Gaeity Theatre off grafton street, and after the evening performance it opens up as three floors of different music gigs - last time we were there it was latin, rockabilly [!!?] and a rock band[and a cinema if you just want to chill!!] you can just wander around the theatre until you find what you like!! I think it's about £8 entrance...

There's also a place called Johnny Foxes ["The Highest Pub in Ireland"] where they put on a 'Hooley'

http://www.jfp.ie/hooley.htm

I know it looks a bit naff, but it's a brilliant night, the music is amazing and the 4 course meal is to die for....


anyhoo - just some ideas. We'll probably just find a boozer and make it home for the few days!!:devil:

There are some great idea's there TE although I like this one the best
We'll probably just find a boozer and make it home for the few days!!:devil: :beer:

I'd like to do all of those things TE!
The mountains you talk of, would they be the wicklow mountains? If so I'd love to head up there for a pint. I might just do that anyway before I head back if it's not on the agenda as my flight back is late Sunday afternoon.

I like all your idea's tigs, but I'm not a great fan of planning things, like to just see what happens.

The Cat Gang (as myself, buzz and patsy will now be known as) will be arriving in dublin around 5.30...I recon will will be ready to rock and roll between 7.30 - 8.00 (how far is the pub from the apartments).

Thats as far as I'm going to plan.

:w00t:

Sorry should have mentioned that I will be a possibly maybe with family! :)

Depends how things on the home-front are at that time, but fingers crossed should be there with bells on!

Actually Cat the best meets have always been the ones where nothing is really orgainised, we have just met in the pub, chatted, had a few (well more than a few) and something to eat and got chucked out at closing time....

So I am happy to just meet in a pub and go from there!

Bella I have added you as a maybe!

I had said in the early stages that I would consider coming as it would be a great weekend for the family but just never got round to posting that I would be definitely maybe.

It would be great to meet the ones that I haven't yet encountered..........I think........... :shocking:

I sincerely hope you two aren't going to form some sort of clique :glare:

Oops sorry shouldn't use that word...

Wooo hope you can both make it...naturally...it would be fab to see you again....had such a giggle in Edinbrugh! :laugh:

Due to our impending house-move, I very much doubt we will be able to make Dublin, we'll need to see how the finances are at that time, so more a possibly not that definitely maybe at the moment! :)

Bella.....can you at least send a letter! :wink_kiss

I haven't said I won't be there, Coastie, I really would like to make this one. Tell you what if you all start buying my jewellery then maybe I'll have enough pennies to make the trip...........mmmmmm, maybe that isn''t such a good selling tactic as you never know I might not be wanted! :unsure:

If I can't make it Coastie, I will send a text but someone better PM their mobile numbers as last time I texted both Flip and VOR and they just couldn't be trusted to deliver a simple "have fun, missing you all" message! You just can't get the staff these days eh? :w00t:

Bella.....you could always hire your hubby out to do other peoples house work, DIY etc....that would be a nice little earner! :laugh:

Oh and as for getting the staff...you can get the staff it's whether or not you can get good staff! :bored:

Just thought I'd update on my status at the moment....I'm still a maybe...but a more definite maybe. It's just about definite that I will be coming to England from September to February. I just have to ensure that I have a summer job to pay for the initial expenses...which I will be applying for this week. If I do come to England, it will be pretty sure that I then come to the Dublin meet, of course. :) I'll let ya know if I find out anything more tho.

I'm getting excited to be on the same side of the big wide ocean as y'all!

Great news Islandman, keep us updated!

Now, that's quite a good offer.

Although I'm quite worried as to what in Cat's house could lead to me needing surgery!

I shall better the offer to £15 per hour. You will live in the cottage in the grounds, rent free and you won't need any surgery - private or otherwise - there are no hazards here!! You will be employed 51 weeks a year - you may have a week of at Christmas to visit relatives if you so wish.

Islandman.....I have a free room with your name on it.....the only demands I shall make are that you don't leave your underwear around the house......or leave bogies on the arm of the sofa! :sick:

£30 per hour and 5 weeks holiday a year :D

You will get the shed!

£31 an hour, all the already mentioned and a double bed to yourself (on mondays, tuesday and thursdays...)., and a garage!!!

Um, and who might I be sharing the bed with on sundays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays? :huh:

Well whoever it is I suggest you follow the example set by Leslie Neilson in Naked Gun before going anywhere near this address!

TE - just read the last page with all your suggestions on it - and I think they all sound abfab!!

And when we went to Edinburgh - that walk up to Arthurs Seat - was a treat for the tired eyes and it put those alcohol sodden cobwebs well and truly in their place!! So doing something other than sitting drinking all day is a nice distraction.

I am still working on the transport - cos the family are humming and haaing as to whether they should accompany me - and if they do it might as well be as easy to get the ferry over with the car.

I am going to have a look at the transport options as I still really, really want to come to this one. Think we will be taking a leaf out of Critiques and Fees book and eating cold beans and raw sausages as won't be able to afford to cook them! :shocking:

Flip, are you planning flying or ferrying, I take it swimming is out? :D

Do you know I hadn't even given the swimming option a thought - but htink how much Guiness I could drink if I saved my travel fare and swam???:w00t:

Note to self:

Flip is highly likely to become a casualty risk...alert all lifeboats and have helicopter brought to immediate stand by! :sad:

Surely if I wear my waterwings I will be fine Coastie??

That depends...do they meet the latest BS standards?
Have you done your swimming proficiencey for 50mtrs in a heated pool?
Do you plan to have a trained sea gull follow you from the sky and report if you get into any difficulties (Nox doesn't count...she is to easily distracted by the boy birds)?

Trying desperately to make this meet.
The Millenium is out as there are only large rooms available, so have provisionally booked somewhere else.
I need to book flights.
What time will everyone be landing?

Everyone is landing at different times secrets, some morning, some lunchtimeish and some early evening!

GREAT NEWS CRYSTAL AND SECRETS!! :thumbsup:

TE...Isn't it about time you change your sig?

Maybe to something like.....

Uh-oh they took me seriously! :unsure:

Jaysus, and to be sure I never even noticed me sig - oops. :blush:

I shall attend to it forthwith.

Marvellous! :thumbsup:

I think that sums it up beautifully TE! :laugh:

We could always share a lilo, Flip! On second thoughts, we'll probably need two, one for us and one for your shoes! :laugh:

I have just found out I am on a Crowd Management at Large Events course in York from 23 October for 3 days, so I definitely can't make this one either! :sad:

That's a shame Ceri :sad:


You will just have to book some holiday, for the next London meet, so it doesn't clash with a course!

Well, it looks as if I just maybe able to make it to Dublin to see all you lovely peeps after all! :)

Just checking out flights - for those of you who have booked what times approx do your flights arrive in Dublin? I can get a flight from Edinburgh with Aer Lingus at the cost of about £60 or if prefer I can fly with Lufthansa at the cos of £400!!! Now I wonder which one I should choose..........

I have decided just to come on my own, whilst it would have been great to bring en-familie it would have been a tad unfair to leave Mr B with the girls in the hotel room whilst I was out with a whole lot of nutters. And he will do something extra special with the girls at home while I am over in the Emerald Isle!

Not quite a definite yet, as haven't book my flight yet and can I have the details of where everyone is staying. Ta very muckle! :thumbsup:

All the details are in this thread - the appartment details are on page 5!

Thanks ILS :thumbsup: I knew the details would be in the thread somewhere but 23 pages was a lot of pages to search through! See you there then! :photo:

Bella can I just take this opportunity to say:

Wooo Woo WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thank-you....

Of course you can Coastie and can I just

Wooo Woo WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

right back!

Can't wait! Roll on Ocotober! :thumbsup:

DUBLIN, here I come!! Booked my flights today! See you all in October! :thumbsup:

You can put me on the definite list, ILS! :)

That's great news Bella!
Looking forward to meeting you :thumbsup:

OMG, OMG, OMG - I have done it!! I have booked my flights!

N.B. [note to self primarily] You have put your receipt and travel documents in the top left hand drawer of the chest of drawers in the bedroom, underneath the store of cotton wool pads and cotton buds - so people remind me in case I panic and forget where I have put them???

OMG - Dublin, TE and Urk and you guys here I come!!

I am shaking with excitement now!! It was all the hoohar of booking flights online - I couldn't find my passport, and then I realised the estate agents have it in Scotland - so I couldn't remember my name. But then Mr F calmed me down and told me I could use my driving licence as ID [I thought I could only use my passport??]

Oh joy joy joy - wooooooooooooooooooo!!!:thumbsup:

Can you really go to Ireland with only your driving license as ID, I thought you had to have your passport? :unsure:

Yippee The Gruesome Twosome are on their way!!

Oh, I didn't have to give passport info or anything, Flip.......note to me to check my docs! Although I will be taking passport, driving license and more - can't afford to get turned away from this trip!

btw - do I need change the currency into Euros?

Better tell Ireland to get extra stocks of Guiness that weekend! :ninja:

According to my information a driving licence is fine, you can even use a bus pass.

Oh and i booked my flight too.

Of course, no show without punch!!

That is me and Flip booked into the Millenium Towers with everyone else.

What time does everyone arrive in Dublin? Flip & I will be there from 9am and we don't leave until 9pm on the Sunday, so it gives us almost 3 whole days in Dublin!!!

I can't wait to check out Dublin with it's culture & shops. I had a wee look at your proposed itinery TE, looks fab! :thumbsup: I would love to head up to the mountains and take in the scenery and cram in whatever there is to be done in Dublin and leave the drinking until the evening......but that's just me! The Gaiety Theatre sounds just the ticket! :)

Wow this is turning into a mini en mass Holiday!
I might have to pack my sun cream.
And do you know them annoying tourists who walk around all day with a camcorder filming everything - well thats me :w00t:

Shame we are not going with easy jet or we might have got on TV
We should write to ITV and get them to push easy jet out of holiday airport and for one night only film Ryan air from Dublin

Oh you can add me to this one too.

Ooh..this all sounds so exciting...

At the moment it looks like I will be able to come...I got the final requirement filled out so my application to come to England is pretty much set...I am just waiting until next week when I head back home and hopefully find a job for the summer relatively quickly...which would have me coming to England in early to mid September..which would allow me to make this meet. The minute I find a job I am sending the application out...and will be purchasing airline tickets and the like. So I should know within about two weeks whether you can change my status to definitely coming or not. ;)
