LiFe · October 25, 2005, 12:57pm

yees defi love in london, it would bo really fab if it did take place.

Sado · November 9, 2005, 9:16pm

13 people that would come so far, including me!

BUMP

Well it’s nearly a year since I posted this and a few people have left and a few people have joined. Are people still interested? Obviously if more people want to meet elsewhere then that’s fine but I won’t be able to organise it. If people want to meet in the UK somewhere then I can have a look at organising accomodation and stuff.

I’m thinking August time? What say you?

I would be interested, it’s not like london’s far for me. But where in london… the pub?

Bessy · April 15, 2006, 2:57pm

I’m in if I can get a cheap flight and, my girlfriend LA will talk to me after this month!!!

Uccisore · April 15, 2006, 3:09pm

If I went to London, wouldn’t I have to get…
…shots?

I wouldn’t visit my mother if it meant getting shots.

Bessy · April 15, 2006, 6:34pm

Yes, Ucci… the UK is a third world country. The malaria is a nightmare.

Wish I could but to be Politically correct I am financially challenged,so I won’t be able to attend, May I have a proxie represent me plus themseslves? Are there any volunteers to be my proxie? That means you get my share of the booze, food and male companions.

Also there is this problem that happens when I travel significant distances. I can trust you all right? Oh well I guess I do. See when I go from one area to another the weather changes drastically. If it is clear and warm it becomes a lot cooler and wetter and visa versa. Its strange but, freak weather follows me. wierd but true. So since I have never gone so far a Trans atlantic flight over water gives me the Heebie Jeebies. Besides being dirt poor too. so you all might want me to have that proxie.

sarax · April 16, 2006, 11:56am

I can be your proxie if you’d like… or I could bring a friend who could pretend to be you?

liquidangel · April 16, 2006, 5:59pm

I would come. If it’s in London…I could put one or two peeps up.

Uccisore · April 17, 2006, 3:32am

No, really. I thought there were a bunch of shots involved when you wanted to get a passport, or cross an ocean. No?

Bessy · April 17, 2006, 4:12am

Nah. Many places with poor sanitation, yes… but Europe?

Nah.

liquidangel · April 17, 2006, 7:41am

You don’t need shots to get a passport which is simply a document which enables you to travel. It is optional to be innoculated when you travel to certain countries. I have never found it to be necessary, not once not ever! I had an English friend travel with me to South Africa once who was told by the travel agent that she needed a bunch of shots to go into South Africa. That is laughable, the most ridiculous thing I have heard. Besides there are no bugs in the UK. If you are concerned when you travel to areas where malaria is rife, take artemesia every day while you are there, you avoid poisoning your body with harmful chemicals which inevitably make you sick. Don’t worry about the UK, they are anal to the n’th degree, there is a law in place that whenever you fly into the UK the cabin of the airplane will be sprayed with pesticides. Bizarre.

Depends on which bit of Europe you’re talking about. Heck, it depends on which bit of which bit of Europe you’re talking about. Newcastle has some of the finest public conveniences ever seen - where lackeys hand you moistened towelletes while engaging you in witty banter, all the the music of your own choosing as little perfume spraying machines wizz about on a strict rotation. The women are generally clean too…

Blindseer · April 17, 2006, 3:49pm

i didn’t know u lived in NC siatd! I have cousin’s that live there. Might be over this summer so i might be able to attend the “gathering”

someoneisatthedoor · April 17, 2006, 4:23pm

I live in the North West of Ingerlund, not the North East, I’m just a fan of the public conveniences in that area, as well as the football fans.

Colinsign · April 17, 2006, 5:41pm

I will happily attend the Gathering. I am 100% on board.

Only one problem is money, so we would all need to know well in advance…we would need to be ‘intelligent’ in who we invite and who we let know…i.e. not any old nut case or provocatuer (hint hint)…

Actually, I’d probably be the sanest of the lot, and I would be the best drunk dancer and singer! And then debate…my god…I can talk with the best!

Kriswest · April 17, 2006, 8:43pm

Fine either way by me Sarax, I nominate you or your friend as my proxie if the others Ok it. HMMHHMmm though they may ask for I.D. at the bar. I could fax you a copy of mine it could be interesting to try it.LOL
