Compulsive Depression is organising the 5th NS UK meetup.

:)

I'm not sure how he is going to supply all the free beer and food as he promised... :p

ps...obviously I am too thick to TG so here is my email addy... vbek@operamail.com

Have a good un mate! And cheers!

RC, I seriously advise you not to post your email here. Ask someone to explain TGs, use messenger names, or telepathy, but don't post your email in an online forum.

No, I don't have anything of content to add, except for eny that the UKians manage to organize meets and we don't.

Umm...its ok....normally you are right...but this is my 'throwaway' account...sure it gets spammed....it only also has a limit of 3 meg...works for me...and has done for the last 7 years...

vonners - innerwebtubenet vetran of more than 7 years ;)

Meh, I've posted my e-mail on the forum before and not got spammed.
The only worries I have about that account is that there are about one hundred and fifty Dilbert cartoons on there that I've yet to read.

And regarding the meetup: this time, can it please be an orgasmically good pub in Lincolnshire?

There be decent pubs in Lincolnshire? :p

Shame you didn't make it...it was quite fun...

Thanks for making me feel better, vonners... :D
As to the good pubs: I don't know. I just want it to be somewhere I can come. :)

no worries!

It would be quite amusing to have a global get together...all expenses paid natch ;)

That's cause not even the spammers and the Nigerians love you.:p

I always read Complosive Depression. :/

Sorry...

no worries!

That would be cool! :D

Alas, I won't be attending any meets anytime soon, US or UK. :(

I'm still lobbying for Leicester. Because I'm lazy. Although CD does seem sympathetic to the idea of having the next meet in Leicester. :)

Wait, I've just realised. I can't remember where Leicester is.

Not too bad, I suppose...

Unfair! I'm not a chav!

Neither am I!

Not a direct train, I don't think. You'd probably have to go via Nottingham.

Me too! Though I'm on the other side of the pond... :( and the US officials would not like a 15 year old girl (unless it's a year away, in which case I'd be 16) traveling to overseas countries.

I would like to go back to the UK though, if only for a visit.

'Tis the greatest nation in the world.
Unless you then remember the government.

I'd be ecstatic if it could be in or very near Scotland...

Ecstatic enough to host it in your house?

Another one in London FTW! And not on a Saturday! So I can go, and receive my NSG Parade that I was promised by I V Stalin.

Ecstatic, not stupid.

I never "promised" anything...except, I think, that it'd be a drunken parade.

Exactly. :)


Drunken parades aside, I would like another one to happen, simply because I'm slightly miffed I missed the one yesterday.

Don't worry....we talked about you too ;)

Oi! I demand content of said conversation! :p

no worries!

Yeah. I'd go to a US meet if there was one (to meet Pancake) but I'd have a job explaining that to the parents.

The South East would be nice....Leicester at a push because then I can crash at some relatives house.

Cheers, mate. I'll drop you a line

/frantically gestures for help
Oh, no, we're quite happy to sit here and watch you keep digging. ;)

I read all my Dilbert cartoons as they show up. Daily. (Slacker...) :cool:

Coooome on. :p

Well you see...IV Stalin said...something that was rather outrageous and quite frankly shocking to the rest of us.

Yeah...that's it...its IV's issue...gossip...errr....news....yeah.

/whew!

That was not spilling beans! That was simply opening the can, quickly showing them to me and then putting the lid back on. :p

Yeah. I'd go to a US meet if there was one (to meet Pancake) but I'd have a job explaining that to the parents.

Sadly, so would I. That's why I hosted the wildly successful Baltimore NS Meetup! Hey, we had a good freakin' time, and I didn't have to explain to my family that I would be taking a plane trip to Houston for no good reason.

That said, I'll be flying to Portland, Oregon for a week at the end of May. Any NSers over there?

Yeah. I'd go to a US meet if there was one (to meet Pancake) but I'd have a job explaining that to the parents.

:D Depends on where you live though, I can't recall where you live :(.

Though you're the third NS guy to have a crush on me-- first Syrup, then Butter and now you...

I was viewing that as passing the buck! LOL
I don't intend to have the buck passed to me, so don't think you can get away that easily.

I believe there was mention of you, Arinola. Tactical Grace didn't recognise the name, although he didn't go as far as calling you a noob. :p

Other than that, I can't remember anything else. Ever. About anything.

I was away for a couple of weeks and I was too scared to plow through all my e-mails to read them...
And then the problem just got worse. :(
Meh, I'll read them later this afternoon. One can never have enough Dilbert (I actually have every single one from 1992 to 2005 on my hard drive. :D).

Pancake could be the new Glitzi!


But who will be the new PM?

I say we put it to the vote.

It's just not a proper poll without Myrth.

I don't think I'm going to get an answer though. :p

Oh THAT! Yeah....nothing much beyond the n00b thing (which I think is horribly unfair *ahem*)...yeah...nothing to see....

/whistles

(which I think is horribly unfair *ahem*)

Of course you do. :)

Huzzah!

Compulsive Depression is organising the 5th NS UK meetup.

:)

Yes, yes, that's all fine and dandy, but...

Who is organising the first Global NSG Meetup??

And no, it's not me...

I am.

if this next UK meet is after june time i might make it this time as i'll be more mobile (yay! car) and visiting many people over the summer hopefully. been gutted to miss the previous ones.

Ye have the free booze, and they shall come.

I am.

I demand that you hold it in Ireland so I don't have to travel far.

I am.

Good lord...
I think I'd prefer to stay at home.

:D Depends on where you live though, I can't recall where you live :(.

Though you're the third NS guy to have a crush on me-- first Syrup, then Butter and now you...

Massachusetts. Born and bred liberal wanker.

I demand that you hold it in Ireland so I don't have to travel far.

If so, I charge you with paying my air fare to Ireland and thinking of a suitable excuse for my parents as to why I'm "going down the road for a bit" with a few day's worth of luggage.

Hahaha, that bodes well, then. Well, better.

So, anybody have any preference when the next meet should be? September/August Bank Holiday is out, because I can't come, but otherwise... Any preferences? As to month, really, so I know when to start thinking about organising it. Not expecting a date yet!
Or people can just remind me when they decide they want one ;)Some time or place that Infinite Revolutions can make. Once he has his car or something.

*kicks thread*

I'm going to be in western Europe during July and early August. If you guys are planning on having this sometime after july 10thish, I might be able to come.

Well, as long as you won't mind a bastard stupid Amerikan tagging along. :)

hehe, I posted in the wrong thread apparently.

But yeah, 18th/19th of August would be wonderful, other weekends could be doable, although I think I'm visiting Sirocco on the 11th (he's clueless atm about that though).

So current preference is early/mid August, then?
OK, cool. I shall try and remember to make a thread nearer the time to get the details.

Unless there are other opinions forthcoming...

Oh, my personal preference for placement is Leicester, but we'll set up a suitably-rigged democratic process near the time to prove that you lot want Leicester too. (Joking about rigging it ;) )

Sounds good. Middle of August (ie. near my birthday) in Leicester (ie. where I live). Couldn't really get much better...

If so, I charge you with paying my air fare to Ireland and thinking of a suitable excuse for my parents as to why I'm "going down the road for a bit" with a few day's worth of luggage.

I'll pay you back partially in alcohol and I'll set you up with Bottle, how's that sound?

And tell them you're going on a trip with the lads from school. The ones they've never met.
