Could some kind mod - pin this thread

Thanks http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'll get back to you on the date, but I hope I have pinned this thread now, the mod controls are all different so I have even less idea of what I'm doing than I do usually!!

Thanks Voice :hug:

Ooh, pick any date for me, I'm gonna try my best to make it this time... February's probably the dullest month for me though...

any date for me would probably be fine :)

Go for it any day and hopefully I can come this time!!

BTW, I notice this thread now reads: "Survivor Online Meeting 2005 Sticky".

Yeuccchh - is that a description of the event??! :p

Lol Ceri!, 'Sticky' appears to be the new word for 'Pinned' around these parts!

Well, you can pick whatever weekend you like for me and I'll do my bestest to be there, I might be panicking a bit if it's too near the end of April but otherwise I don't mind :)

I'd prefer any date between mid Feb and mid April but will try to fit in with whatever is arranged.

[font=Arial]Lol Ceri!, 'Sticky' appears to be the new word for 'Pinned' around these parts

Oh goody I'm going to start a thread called Bogeys and ask for it to be pinned! lol!

I can do whatever Maxine does - cos she is putting me up!

Ooh, pick any date for me, I'm gonna try my best to make it this time...

It would be great if you can Fly :D

29th of Jan would be cracking for me since I am going to be in London anyway.....I'm going to see Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic on the 1st! Very exciting! :D

29th January - well I could feasibly make it, but it's two days before I'm off to Belize, so chances are I'll be knee deep in packing.

cheerio!

I was thinking that possibly January maybe a little too early for some with the expense of Christmas... And I was thinking perhaps the end of February (like last year) might be good for the majority although I do realise Scooby will be in Belize http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/smilies/sad-smiley-021.gif

So what do you all think of Saturday 26th February or Saturday 12th March?

actually thinking about this, early January would be a bit of a pull on the old purse strings, they are nearly breaking now, and thats two months before Xmas :eek:

so ils those dates look fine with me :)

We could all go to Belize with Scoobs (where is that by the way)?

A long way away Cat....towards South America....it's in rain forest country....very exciting....the army and marines go there to do their jungle training quite a bit....Scoobs is going to have the greatest adventure of his life!

Jammie wee beggar! ;)

Well, March 12th is actually my birthday so I doubt I'd make it then... Feb 26th sounds good, but again, I'd have to see if I could go nearer the time...

So what do you all think of Saturday 26th February or Saturday 12th March?

Both dates fine by me.

...both dates are clear in my diary :)

Then again every single other date was too :(

I can do most of the later dates at the moment.

But agree that too close to the beginning of the year is tricky, not least with the expense of Xmas [and it means I can avoid the New Year sales].

So if it is any help late Feb, early March is best for me!!

No can do 12th March. Tis my lovely daughter's birthday.

That's 2 birthdays on 12th of March so I guess that makes the date of the next meeting


26th February 2005

So put that date in your diary now http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/smilies/cheerleader2.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/smilies/party05.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/smilies/party08.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/ilovesurvivor/smilies/party-smiley-017.gif

fine by me....where did you get those smilies from?????? Give them to me now.

Cool feb 26th... I'm so determined to make it... bet I have a sodding exam or something now...

I will bust a gut to be there, I'd love to meet more of you before I leave the country. It's cool you can make it Fly :)

I'm going to try and make this one too, because I had such a good time at the last one:drinking:

I'm afraid I will be unable to attend due to the conditions of my parole and this blasted tagging device.

Provided I don't get a change of shifts and the money is in the bank I shall be there with bells and wiggle on! ;)

Wiggle? The mind boggles, Coastie. :D

The mind may boggle but the eyes will be amazed! :D

Is this where you are? did you break parole on friday, have they taken you back in?

I will visit you if you like :blink:

shhhhhhhhhh no-one's seen me, right?

Provided I don't get a change of shifts and the money is in the bank I shall be there with bells and wiggle on! ;)

You need to bag one of those £2 fares :D

I will bust a gut to be there, I'd love to meet more of you before I leave the country. It's cool you can make it Fly :)
You won't meet me!

I'll be in the jungle somewhere.

cheerio!

Ok so far we have got that the next meet is to be held in London on 26th February 2005......

So my final question to those who are coming or intend to come to this meet is, what type of venue would you like?

The bar in the hotel that the last meet was held in was ok, but I wouldn't recommend it as it was not near a mainline train station and it was freezing. The other down side to it was the drinks where quite expensive compared to a pub! The drinks & food where cheaper at The Reef Bar in Waterloo Station, where the previous 2 meets where held, but some found the smokey atmostphere and the decor a little too much to bear.

Wherever we choose it really needs to be very close to a mainline train station so that the day trippers can get home easily. Also we need to take into consideration that some of us will be there for quite a long time, and most will be on a tight budget!

So would you like

A pub - where the drink and food are fairly cheap
A hotel bar - where the drinks & food are more expensive but the surroundings are more luxurious
Something else entirely (please state)


It would also be helpful to know what mainline station your train comes in at if you intend to be a day tripper .....

Definately a pub, really don't care how rough it is. If we go slightly off drag they are cheaper.

What are you going to wear ils.

:wave: <------------hey look whos back.

:wave: <------------hey look whos back.

Looks like H is slowly sorting them out for us :) I do prefer this :bye: wave better tho.

What are you going to wear ils

I have no idea what I shall be wearing at this stage Cat - but I guess it will be either trousers or smart jeans & a top with my Survivor - Online T Shirt over....


Where does your train come in Cat?

well I come in at Liverpool street, but i will probably be staying for the Saturday night, so I can pretty much get anywhere via the tube.
As to the venue, I'm easy, as long as there is somewhere nice for us all to sit, some decent food and of course some alcohol:). But yes ils, somewhere a bit warmer than last time, I think they thought it was the middle of summer and had the a/c on full blast.

I was so cold I wished I had had my fur coat with me!

My trian comes into Kings Cross/St Pancras so I can wizz to pretty much anywhere. Funny enough I bought a new fur today, a leopard skin shocker with huge leather buttons. Its the bloody lovely. £16 from a charity shop. I may even wear it.....

I have to be honest and say I'm not really keen to sit in a smoky pub for a whole day and evening. It's a long time to spend in a pub when you don't drink! That said I'm quite happy to take myself off for a walk and some fresh air now and again if that's where it ends up being held :)

I'm with you on this one Voicy. It really is not much fun when you don't drink and I really cannot tolerate smoke very much at all. I think I'll join on the walks. :wink2:

I really don't think that will be necessary girls - I hope to find a venue that suits everyone's preferences :)

In fact I am working on it now and have been for the last few weeks :ohmy: :)

As long as theres drink to be had where ever we are I don't mind. I don't smoke (anymore YIPEE).

Then again if we are going for a walk I could always bring a take out in a brown paper bag. :)

I don't either Cat but I do understand that if you don't drink, that it is a long time to spend in a smokey pub..... and that is why I am looking for a venue that will suit the non drinkers/non smokers as well as the drinkers/smokers ....


For those of you that don't fancy a walk, you can keep me company propping up the bar, as I have no intention of going for a walk during the meet :)

What about if we all went for a meal (nothing expensive, something like pizza and/or pasta) and then drinks after? That way people who didn't want to smoke/drink could sit down, eat and chat, then those that want to puff and booze can do so afterwards?

We have thought about that before Ceri, but when people are turning up at different times and sometimes not even sure they are coming until the last minute it can make it very difficult to organise......

Anyway I am taking everyones views into consideration before I decide on a venue!

I am for a no smoking venue. There are places. A pub near us has gone no smokey. We have been four times now.

I will Have to miss out again Im afraid. I just can't afford it as I'll be going on my round-the-world trip next summer so I really need to start watching the pennies.

Come to Scotland then, we are now officially........well soon to be in 2006 a no-smoking country for all clubs, pubs and restaurants! Wayhey!!!

I really wish the next meet was Dublin i really do i think tigereye has done her bit coming over. I have an eight seater mini bus........Another great one would be on the ferry Dover calais there and back round trip.

I really wish the next meet was Dublin i really do i think tigereye has done her bit coming over

She has I agree Sheoque, and if there is enough interest I sure it can be arranged.

Sorry folks - I'll make it one of these days - but I've too much on at that time of year to take a trip down to London:sad:

too bad rob. As you say - one of these days it'll happen!!

p.s. sheogue - I would love it to be dublin too - all the non-smokers would be catered for as you can't light up ANYWHERE over here, and the boozers [ahem, we know who we are!!!] would deffo be in their righteous capital city!!

If only Ryanair or someone would offer the 2.99 return flights again it might be more tempting - I mean, it's not much harder getting on a plane than a train is it? If I can manage it, anyone can!!

:wave:

Well to go to edingburgh all told was about £200 for my air fare there train fare home accomodation and meals....maybe £300. I am sure I could get to Dublin and back for that again. The no smoking in Dublin is a big pull AND I am dissapointed in our goverments announcement to not ban in ALL pubs and on the streets and parks anywhere but private property. (Sorry Ceri)

Well if there is a demand for a meet in Dublin, I would be happy to arrange one perhaps in Autumn 2005/Spring 2006

I'd be up for the Dublin meet! :D

i'll think about a london one as my sister lives there. most of you have all met up before haven't you?

Quite a few of us have Calabula, but of course everyone is welcome, it is always lovely to meet new people.

I'd like to come if possible but is everyone who is gonna be there young? As an OAP I might feel out of place eh? :sad: My nearest station is Victoria and is about an hour and a half away from me so I could do it in a day trip. I get free train travel cos hubby works on the Railway so I can get anywhere really

The 'meet' attracts people from a wide variety of ages. I wont be going, but on the occasions i have been there have been peeps there from 20 ish to 50 ish.

You certainly wouldnt feel out of place, and noone would let you feel out of place. We / they are a blummin welcoming bunch, and im sure they would love you to attend and join in the fun and frivolity :)

Hi Critque - It would be great if you could make the meet. I would like to think that no one would feel out of place whatever their age, as we are a very friendly bunch!

I would say the majority of the people that have attended the meets are in their 2O's, 30's or 40's (I am early 40's myself ).


I think that everyone that has ever attended any of the meets has always enjoyed themselves, so I hope that you will come along and judge for yourself.

I will be 40 soon, next month...January...the 7th out of interest.

It will be my first 'meet' so you can sit with me behind the overgrown cheese plant and view incongnito if you like.

:bye:

I didnt realise you actually meet up! it sounds cool,might give it a go as my mum still lives down there.
Please can I join u behind the cheese plant Cat? :unsure:

I would love to come, but I am way up North, and it would be a hell of a trek!



I'd only get lost anyways! :wacko:

Eternity - you could always stop over, a few of us make a weekend of it....

Yes, I could do, I would need more details, I have few problems with dates, so whatever! :cool2:

staying over for the weekend is great, I did it for the last meet, my first and had a whale of a time:holiday:

The only thing that is finalised at this stage is the date which is

Saturday 26th February 2005

Theres a Weatherspoons with big outdoor bit and a Reef bar at Victoria train station.......incase anyones interested....It's looking less like I'll be able to play but I am still trying....just ask my line manager...he loves me really! :laugh:

It's looking less like I'll be able to play

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :mad2:


You tell your line manager you have to have time off or you will set ils on to him :laugh:

I would but he's not a well man and I don't want to be the one who tips him over the edge! :sad:

Thank you all and yes, behind the cheese plant sounds good to me :laugh:
