The NS Meet tour (TM) will hopefully soon hit that mighty metropolis that is London, and I have been given the honour(?) of organising the bloody thing. :p

So, as this is only in the very first stages of planning, I need to know who wants to come, what dates you can make, and where in London you want to go...

I'm thinking of making this around the end of August/start of September. It will most likely be on a weekend, probably a Saturday (to accommodate those people who have normal 9-5 Monday to Friday jobs).

Seeing as how this is London, I imagine people will arrive in various different places depending on where they're coming from. I'll be coming into St. Pancras station, and I know the area around there fairly well. It's within easy walking distance of Tottenham Court Road, Camden Market, and isn't too far from Oxford Street and Soho.

So, could you please include in your replies: what dates you can make around the time stated, and where you want to go.

Ok, here's a list of those who've said they'll be there (so far):
I V Stalin
Pure Metal
Glitziness
FairyTInkArisen
The Infinite Dunes
SHAOLIN9
Ollieland
Tactical Grace
Rhursbourg
Anarchic Conceptions
Melsonland
Egg and Chips
Tribes of Longton
Gruenberg
The White Hats
Compulsive Depression
The blessed Chris

Maybe Terror Incognita. Not sure, though. Confirmation would be good...(?)

Looking good so far.

End of August is looking unlikely as several people have said they'll be away, so it's more likely to be early September, either the 2nd or the 9th.

Finalised stuff (messed around with 19/08):

We shall be meeting at the Euston Flyer, on Euston Road, near Euston Station (other side of the road, though), at approximately 1pm. I imagine people will turn up one or two at a time though. We shall drink. We shall talk. We shall drink some more, and if sober enough, talk more. We may, if we feel like it, explore the mean streets of our glorious capital.

There's a Pizza Express nearby that we can go to for dinner, then go back to the pub until it's time for people to head home/to other peoples' homes/to other accommodation.

Link for the YHA hostel on Euston Road: http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/hostelpages/173.html

More new stuff (added 10/08):
The date has been finalised as the 9th of September. Apologies to anyone who can't make this, but don't worry, I'm sure we'll have fun without you. ;)

Directions (this is important, please read):
If you're arriving in London at St. Pancras or King's Cross - get to Euston Road. You want to be on the opposite side of the road from the entrance to King's Cross. Facing the entrance to King's Cross, walk left. After about a five minute you'll (hopefully) see the Euston Flyer.

Arriving in London at Euston station: Again, get to the opposite side of the road. Facing the road, walk right. The Euston Flyer is at most a two minute walk.

Arriving in London anywhere other than the above stations: Take the Tube to either Euston, Euston Square or King's Cross/St. Pancras (it's served by one station).

Euston is on the Victoria and Northern lines directly linked to Euston station, so make your way out of the main exit of the station and follow the directions as for 'arriving at Euston'.

Euston Square is on the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines. Come out of the Underground and head east (it'll be just after midday, sun will be roughly due south, I hope you're intelligent enough to work out the rest). As far as I can remember, there are no special landmarks around the exits to Euston Square. Sorry. Go to King's Cross/St. Pancras instead - it's only one stop more (or fewer if you're coming from the other direction).

King's Cross St. Pancras is also on the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines, and possibly others. Get up to street level and follow the instructions for 'Arriving at King's Cross or St. Pancras'.

i'd like to come, but you know that :P


dates: any time but away between the 19th and 26th august (glitziness is away from the 12th), so anytime after the 26th.

go: difficult question. there's lots of choice. if i travel with glitz i'd be arriving at paddington, but if i travel straight there it'd be waterloo. i don't really mind where.
would have suggested going to the Royal Institution cos its all classy, they have good lunches and meeting rooms etc, and i've been a member for over 15 years and it'd be nice to use the stupid place for something else for a change :p but its closed for refurbishment till next year :(
there's a nice jazz bar close to the london eye that might be pretty good. food's ok but they do have a bar, and (perhaps on saturdays) live music :)

Any weekend's cool with me. I'll be coming in via Liverpool st. Station but I know London fairly well as I work all over it so can meet anywhere. Don't have ideas on locations to go to yet.....I'll give it some thought. :)

I can make it. I'm stuck in London for the rest of the summer. I'm so glad it's no longer 80% relative humidity. That was killing me.

So I should be able to make any day really.

As for places to recommend... well all the places I used to do to wouldn't let me in anymore as I don't have a London University student ID anymore. But even if I did I'd only be able to get two guests in... but then, if the current attendence trend continues then that wouldn't have been a problem. :p

As for food though. I know a Nepelese place behind Kings X which is quite nice and a Lebanonese place in Soho. I could probably think of more places if I wasn't just typing whatever I'm thinking.

So... um... yeah. That's about it really.

The White Hart.

i'll come, Septembers best for me cause I'll be down there at uni anyway, and as for where, I'll be getting the tube in so i don't really mind

If it is all expenses paid, you can count me in!!!! :D

What about the White Hart Tap? Or the King's Head?

Yay! Tink!

I seem to remember there being several cheap Greek restaurants in Soho. And there's a cheap (well, fairly cheap) Italian place near Boots on Tottenham Court Road.

I'll be in London on Monday so I'll have a bit of a search round then.

The White Hart.
Maybe the Red Lion as well...

Chinatown for proper Chinese maybe?

All I'll say is that I do pest control all over London and I point blank refuse to eat in Covent Garden or Piccadilly! Trust me on this one - ignorance is bliss!:)

Nah, we just exchange phone numbers then agree to meet at a certain place.

To everyone arguing about what food they won't eat...I win. I don't eat meat. :p (And I'm the one deciding where we eat...)

we should ask TG if he wants to come, he's not online much so he might not see this, I lost his number when i changed phones though, could you text him or pm me his number and i'll text him

He was online this morning...at least, I assume he was, because he posted this morning...I reckon he'll see this soon enough so long as it's bumped a fair bit.

well traf sq's cool or ch x as that actually considered to be central. i mean im new to ths how would ppl identify themselves, a placard roundd neck with 'NS' on it?
eh, a number of us have met up before so i think we'll manage (and recognise each other :))

that we should, but he has been about lately a fair bit (i think)

TGing him might be a good idea :)

Giant flashing neon signs of course!!! :D

ok, not as fun, but it'll work and be better for my epilepsy! :D

Done.

But think of the expense. I have no objection on any other grounds, though. :p

i don't think i've ever been to a vegetarian restaurant before :eek:

i'll be sure to grab a good hunk of beef-fat in mcd's on my way up ;) (j/k :P)

It won't necessarily be a vegetarian restaurant, just one that has lots of veggie options...hmmm...if you're ever in Budapest, you have to go to a restaurant called the Vegetarium. The food's great, and there's board games and shit (not literally shit) to mess around with while you're waiting.

Done.

well..... we could all dress up as ninjas! might get arrested though :(

But seriously.....Italian covers all options methinks, it's got the meat stuff, the veggie bits AND chips. :)

OR I believe there's a planet Hollywood in Leicester square (I'll have to take a stroll around that area during the week to see what else is around.)

there is a Planet Hollywood but it's ridiculously overpriced

Would people be up for a tour of the Houses of Parliament...seeing as how it's the closest to power any of us will ever get. :p Except His Modship TG, of course.

I'd love to come. Count me in.

What about the White Hart Tap? Or the King's Head?

Actually, if money isn't a problem, The Lowlander over on Drury Lane has excellent Belgian and Dutch beer. And the best fried potatoes on Earth, bar none.

Well worth a night.

Meh ... just send me a plane ticket.

A ticket to anywhere in particular? Does it matter if it's been used? ;)

I'll buy a ticket to Grise Fjord.

Now that you mention it.... Belfast would be nice ... and if it's not used more than twice ....

This sounds like it might actually work. I think Smunkee was talking about making a NS meet for the American South...not sure if it was her or somebody else though.

edit: ooh right by the Producers, too :P

I assumed it would be, but the only thing cheap in London is gonna be McD's :) I'll have a look around on my travels around London this week and see what I can find.

I didn't think the McD's was cheap compared to US prices, and it was the same crap.

If I'm spending money, I'm drinking some decent beer.

London? End of August? Sounds good... depending on two things.

1. Money. Skint and unemployed. I have several applications in for a job, but if one of them comes off, I'll get one.
2. If I get one of the above jobs, I could be working any random hours that stop me coming

If those two go well... I'll be there!

Nothing's cheap in Uk compared to US prices :(

hey, eerm well again im new to this and dont know any of u but still should be jokes. im ex when it comes to food, most restaurants have stuff 4 veggies and alot is cheap....end of august sounds awesome.....ill wear my placard with my name and NS, or pay for a shirt lol..

I might be in London near the end of August this summer.

Tell me where you'll be so I can avoid you. :p

I could make most weekends. Going on holiday sometime in August, no set yet, though probably around 25th.

I will try to make it. Any Saturday should be OK, but I will be unavailable for a couple of weeks in late August as I will be on holiday.

I will try and make it if its end august beging of september I shuold be driving by then or still getting slightly more benefits

I might be in London near the end of August this summer.

Tell me where you'll be so I can avoid you. :p

We are everywhere and nowhere, you can't run and you can't hide. You will be assimilated into the NS London collective - resistance is futile! :D

We'll hunt you down and find you...

Though this could be a problem as we don't know what you look like. And there's photos of some of us floating around so you can know what we look like and avoid us if you see us.

First post updated.

thats quite scary......i dont wanna meet u guys now lol!!

Yeah, the n00b whippings aren't much better than biting.

Time for me to say in! and wait to pull out at the last minute again. Have you lot decided on a date? I definitely couldn't go on the bank holiday weekend at the end of august, I'll be festivaling.

Reading? It's unlikely to be that weekend as it seems several people will be on holiday at that time. I think it'll be one of the first three Saturdays in September, and most likely one of the first two (so either the 2nd or the 9th).

I'm going to the better version of Reading. The Northern version of Reading. The...OK, it's Leeds. If it's that first or second Saturday, I might actually be able to go this time. :eek:

Cool. Oh, and you mean the crap version of Reading? :p Didn't like Leeds when I went, too many chavs and indie-kids. A bit like V, really, but with a better reputation.

and you'd better come this time!

Hey, Leeds is fucking cool, we have riots and shit like that. Reading's full of Shandy-drinking Southern fairies* who quietly sit in their tents after the last band and discuss politics of 19th century russia, or something**.

Anyway, I'm going to find out how much a train ticket and accomodation is before I commit to this. I'm quite a way from London - if only you'd hold it in Manchester, I could show you all around a bit and just stay in my monstroo student house afterwards :D

*Coming from a 9 1/2 stone, 19 year old who looks a bit anorexic and is on his arse after 10 pints.

**May or may not be true. They might be discussing similarities between modern day USA and 30s Germany whilst passing the bong. ;)

shhhhh, don't mention the noob whippings and the dungeon or he might not come

Yeah well, I'm gonna try this time. It's just that London's quite a long way from the good bit of the country :D

don't i know it, my nan came to pick me up from uni, it took her 8hours!! i think she got a bit lost though, hopefully I'll be moving to my new house on the 1st of september though so i'll be near enough

I might be able to make it at the start of September. It depends on a couple of birthdays, and my girlfriend (as I'd be staying at her house in Camden). Oh, and how much I spend over the next month or so.

Can I recommend the Hansom Cab at the north end of Earl's Court Road? Just south of the police station. It does good food, takes Visa, and last time I was in there it had Bombardier on the hand-pumps.

I was thinking of going until I read this:


Ok, here's a list of those who've said they'll be there (so far):

FairyTInkArisen

I was thinking of going until I read this:
because you know you'll be so overwhelmed by my dazzling beauty and charming wit that you'll just make an idiot of yourself?

Lucky you. The only difference for me between living at home and living at uni is that I'll be travelling the same difference from a different train station. :p

because you know you'll be so overwhelmed by my boobs that you'll almost suffocate?
Fixed for truth. ¬_¬

Yeah well, I'm gonna try this time. It's just that London's quite a long way from the good bit of the country :D

Dorset? Cornwall/Devon????
:p

because you know you'll be so overwhelmed by my dazzling beauty and charming wit that you'll just make an idiot of yourself?

I don't need you to be there for me to make an idiot of myself. I'm quite apt at making an idiot out of myself, thank you very much Tinky Winky.

Dorset? Cornwall/Devon????
:p
Ah! Ah ha! Ah hah ha ha!

Ha!






Ha ha!







Oh, you were serious. Nah. Up North, specifically in the magically mysterious Manchester.

its possible i that i might be able to come.....if this is in february

aww you guys will be holding this right after I leave, *sniffles* would have been interesting to see some of you young whippernappers, ah well maybe it is just not in my Karma to go to a London meet Oh well... so anyone going to be in town in August? Since this is my vacation would be kinda fun to meet someone....

I don't need you to be there for me to make an idiot of myself. I'm quite apt at making an idiot out of myself, thank you very much Tinky Winky.
oh ok, so you know you're gonna make an idiot of yourself and you don't want me to see you do it because then I won't love you anymore Reffy Weffy?

Neither, as I'm technically not a Manchesterer; I just like to think of myself like that because otherwise I have to admit I'm from...*shudder*...the countryside. I'm actually from Preston, hence I suppose I support PNE. We'll make it to the premiership one year, mark my words!

you better come damnit! (and the first one was in manchester)

for starters you're one of the NSers i'd most like to meet, and for seconds the more the merrier! :p


it took me 4 hours to get from southampton to manchester for the first meet, so to london should be at least an hour off that.
as for accomodation i stayed up in manc in a holiday inn... which wasn't cheap :P but i guess there's plenty of cheap hotels or hostels in london, or maybe you could shack up with one of us for a night (i would offer but we'll be travelling the wrong direction and i'll probably be wanting to stay over at glitz's that night)

its possible i that i might be able to come.....if this is in february
We'll probably have the 4th one somewhere in Britain around February...

Hey, Leeds is fucking cool, we have riots and shit like that. Reading's full of Shandy-drinking Southern fairies* who quietly sit in their tents after the last band and discuss politics of 19th century russia, or something**.
Download has riots. They had to bring in three trucks of riot police this year. And all because Guns N Roses suck(ed).

Yeah, they were there to protect Axl Rose.

Bump.

Nah, they come to drag his sorry ass off stage! Tell him it's over, deal with it and live in the now! :D

Not really a Generalite, but thought I'd post in. Just come back from a meet-up in London with The Black New World, Knootoss, Cobdenia, Fonzoland, Randomea and Ecopoeia. It was good.

I am around London all summer, so I'd potentially be able to pop in.

Cool. You don't really have to be a Generalite (though you may have to put up with silly questions about the UN forum :p). I'll put you on the list. The more the merrier. :)

If you don't mind an old-timer dropping by for a swift one, I'm in (if available on the day). No offence taken though, if you'd rather keep it as a younger crowd.

Heh, my kids broke me of that one earlier today. I won't even hear you.:p

That's cool - I thought I'd have to do that for a mo as I don't drink.
*phew*

I would love to come :) (just so me and Huw can be extra couply and be crazily, sickeningly soppy and annoy you all :D:p)

Saturday isn't great for work, but it'd be fine I'm sure, and I understand why people would chose a Saturday *nods* so count me in :)

That's OK. I'll just ask you whether you've flushed and washed your hands every time you return from the john. Really loudly and slowly.

And then I'll lick my handkerchief and scrub your face with it when you've finished your crisps.:p

OR

I'll say what my sister said to my mum in a busy shopping centre....

*LOUD VOICE*

"But Dad.....why did you have a sex change?"

She carried it on for a while with everyone looking "why would you do that, it's sick" etc.etc. :D

Excellent! You bring the restraints, and I'll bring the tazer.

I would love to come :) (just so me and Huw can be extra couply and be crazily, sickeningly soppy and annoy you all :D:p)

Saturday isn't great for work, but it'd be fine I'm sure, and I understand why people would chose a Saturday *nods* so count me in :)

I must warn you - all acts of extreme soppiness result in the offenders being poked with a stick......... no matter how nice they are.:)

(unless it's 2 hot chicks):eek:

Excellent! You bring the restraints, and I'll bring the tazer.

Ermmm.... I might be getting my hair cut on that day :p

Excellent! You bring the restraints, and I'll bring the tazer.

We are old men (ie over 35). We don't need restraints. All we need is an authoritative voice and the thtreat of physical violence!:fluffle:

Hey, I have long hair as well, and mine's more womanly than yours. I don't know why I'm showing off about that...

Wow...15 people so far. Let's hope that at least half of them turn up. Preferably slightly more than half, as I don't want to explain to anyone why there's half a person there...

you make me sick

Sorry, what? I can't hear you from the division below, shout louder! Oh wait, you can't, you're fanbase is small and insignificant. :p And tink, your chest counts as one person, so really you're a person and a half.

I can definitely make it if it's on the 2nd or 9th I think, seeing as I'm not back at uni officially until mid-September. There's only 3 real reasons I wouldn't be able to come.
1. Cost of a train ticket (I'm skint)
2. Cost of a room for a night (see above)
3. Having to avoid looking at PM and Glitz all night (my gag reflex is a bit hyperactive around overzealous couples. Probably a jealousy thing :D)

Yeah, point taken, except I don't get mine until I re-register with the uni, which will be about a week and a half after the meet.

Sure, until you don't pay them back within two hours. :p Just scrounge off your mates until you have enough. Or get a job. ;)

Just don't show them your thumbs. They like thumbs for some reason.

They don't get paid until you register. Or until the SLC decides to give you the sodding money (bad experience with them a couple of years ago).

Just don't show them your thumbs. They like thumbs for some reason.
Well...you can do so many things with them...

Well...you can do so many things with them...
They're great with mustard and some bread.

I can still come to this meet, right?

Also, the SLC are a bunch of retards who decided to give me my loan almost 2 weeks late. 3 times.

Fuck it, loan sharks are nice people, right?
i'd be willing to lend people expenses to travel to the place if i... you know.... trusted you all more :P

Ok, I was in London for a short while today and had a quick look around before my train left...

I think most people will be coming from the north (correct me if I'm wrong), so will be arriving at (and leaving from) one of St. Pancras, King's Cross and Euston stations.

Near these stations (as they're all so close to each other) there is an O'Neill's pub, a Scream pub, and what appears to be a slightly more traditional pub called The Euston Flyer. There is also a Pizza Express opposite the British Library.

I figure we could start the day at one of said pubs, go for a wander around the streets of London, go back to Pizza Express, and then finally to one of the pubs before we all leave and try to remember where the hell we're meant to be going.

I'll update the first post with these details as well.

sounds good :)

glitz and i can tube our way up to you northerners :P


oh and i should say that imho a proper, traditional pub > (ie beats the shit out of) wanky-fanky chrome-and-glass scream pubs (and their ilk)

It's not actually that far a walk - up Oxford Street, then up Tottenham Court Road and you're just about there (although OS and TCR are rather long roads...) :p

Yeah, I know, but the "wanky-fanky chrome-and-glass scream pubs (and their ilk)" are probably cheaper. And I have a Yellow Card. :p :D

Almost certainly cheaper, especially seeing as they'll probably have started selling this year's batch of yellow cards. My biggest mistake of last year was never picking up a yellow card because I was too drunk. :D

As for where we go, pubwise, it depends on what sort of thing we get up to. I mean, if you all just want a quiet pint somewhere and discussion about..anything, the old pub is almost certainly better. Plus, I'd quite like to see a bit of London - last time I was there it was for an interview at ICL, and all I had time to look at was the Science Museum next door.

I'd be coming in at Euston, seeing as the Preston trains always do.

If you could make yourself look a little bit like me I'd lend you my Young Persons Railcard and you'd get a third off the train ticket

I could help you with the place to stay for the night, I'll have a lovely comfy couch, except you might be some kind of crazy weirdo and I don't normally trust PNE (*vomit*) supporters.

I plan on getting hammered and taking the piss all night to get me through that lol

Slight problem, subject to managerial approval of my holiday time booking, Saturday 9 September will be the earliest date I can make. Saturday 2 September will not be possible unless I am very fortunate with the weather conditions I need for a certain feat of moral fibre...

On 2 September I will most likely be traversing the boglands of the Scottish borders with a 20kg pack. That's the problem. I doubt I can finish my route, get a shower and travel several hundred miles a couple of days early. :(

Ok, we'll provisionally make it the 9th of September. Anyone who can't make that please let that be known by whatever means (post here, TG me, carrier pigeon, semaphore from a tall building, telepathy, etc.)

Just a few things:

Firstly, has Kellarly been seen on the forums recently?

Secondly, there's a YHA hostel on Euston Road, a short drunken stumble from the pubs I mentioned.

Thirdly, what is the general feeling about meeting at a pub, getting drunk, then going to a branch of the Church of Scientology, conveniently situated about three quarters of a mile from the pub?

Well if you live in Whitworth Park Halls, you'll still be close to Moss Side. Better still, it's sort of in between the top of Moss Side and Ardwick. Great for drugs, bad for getting shot every now and again. :D

Ditto what Shaolin said, what would you be doing? If I follow my current gameplan, there's a chance I'll be at Manchester until about 2014 :rolleyes:

I'm doing biochemistry. We do a lot of genetic engineering theory...

You know too much. Perhaps my 6-armed man-rat assasin will pay you a visit. Soon.

Also, my plan basically means I wanted to do Medicine, didn't get on the course so I'm going to reapply after my biochem degree finishes in 2009. Medicine is 5 years, hence 2014 leaving.

Nothing's set in stone, but I think it goes thusly;

Arrive in London on the ninth, probably afternoon. Proceed to decent pub near Euston, drink slow and discuss shit. Move on to a Pizza Express or similar, have food. Go to another bar, possibly louder, get drunkerer. Proceed to sleeping arrangements in local YHA building, stopping off at the local scientology church on the way to berate the money-grabbing idiots who run it. Sleep. Get hung over (optional).

It's all on the front page.

It's all on the front page.

Hmm. What day's the 9th? And will ID be necessary?

Nothing's set in stone, but I think it goes thusly;

Arrive in London on the ninth, probably afternoon. Proceed to decent pub near Euston, drink slow and discuss shit. Move on to a Pizza Express or similar, have food. Go to another bar, possibly louder, get drunkerer. Proceed to sleeping arrangements in local YHA building, stopping off at the local scientology church on the way to berate the money-grabbing idiots who run it. Sleep. Get hung over (optional).

No, I keep getting asked if I'm Australian, a kiwi or from South Africa. Mine has a mixture of all 3. I beat the Basildon chav outta them. :)

You'll be with lots of old 'uns. You'll be fine. Not that I'm advocating under-age drinking. Tap water for you young missy! ;)

B) bully a friend til I get promised a bed for the night.

The 9th's a Saturday IIRC. As for ID, I'll buy your drinks or something. I'm 19 and not only do I not look over 21, I doubt I look over 15. It'll be like a huge bluff or something.

Only place in Poole I've been to is the serpentarium and aquarium - Is that place still running? :) Dorset generally is pretty cool though, swanage is best! :)

Beaches? But I'm in Leicester, the British city that is furthest from any coast. :(

First part of the Country to rise from the waves though. That means you were surrounded by beaches...once. About 3 billion years ago.

*ahem*

I imagine it could only have been better than it is now. Fewer chavs and emos round the clock tower, anyway.

Fuck it, it's so long ago it's almost cosmological re-enactment!
