right as always we have had some squabbling óver where this years christmas meet will be.
if you are hoping to attend please couldyou indicate below by adding your name to either the Birmingham or London list.
if you could attend either then please put your name on both lists.

basically, whichever list has the most people thats where it will be held.

And for thosewho will complain that its still only june, christmas bookings for large parties like this are needed to be booked well in advance so we need to have at least the basics of which city we are using.

PLEASE can we not have any thread about Christmas stickied FIVE months before Christmas.

FAQinglovely · 19/07/2009 21:57

oh and - no not all of us do want to visit the expensive, overpriced, overrated capital of our country.

Just because it's the capital doesn't mean it's the best place to hold a big meet up

Innit

FAQinglovely · 19/07/2009 21:55
  1. Traditional? For how long - a couple of years (and last years was location was hotly debated)
  1. Didn't realise Justine was unable to board a train/plane/coach/drive a car .
  1. I think it's more that the Londoners can't be arsed to travel further than they're own back door
  1. If there's going to be 2 (or 3) "traditional" big meet-ups - lets give them all equal weighting hey?

I REALLY can't be arsed watching thread after thread (like last year) where there was upset because X meet had a sticky, Y meet didn't, and Z meet was laughed at by everyone else as a "wannabe official meet".

There can be as many different bloody meetups as people can be arsed to organise.

Of course there will be a London one because

1 It is traditional innit.

2 MNHQ is there so Justine et al get the chance to mix with the plebs once in a while.

3 It is the capital of the sodding country and believe it or not some people actually live there and others quite fancy visiting it occasionally.

4 Just that, 4

None of them are official so you just pick the one you fancy and get your arse there. No need for threads voting on where to hold the sodding thing, just do more than one!

Simples.

FAQinglovely · 19/07/2009 21:49

now now Nymph we're trying to make this fair to everyone - Cumbria is a long way from the South Coast

nymphadora · 19/07/2009 21:46

Anyone fancy a proper trip up north to Cumbria?

FAQinglovely · 19/07/2009 21:46

and for £40 (2 advance singles)

just £5 more expensive than London .

Flamesparrow · 19/07/2009 21:33

StG - I decreed on the other thread that either/or was null and void, but I think it needs your voice of authoritaaaaaaaaay

Oh, I am planning on being super nice to Londoners from now on till Christmas until someone invites me to stay with them

VinegarTits · 19/07/2009 20:35
