[QUOTE=Tea;25512769]yeah idk why they stopped that its fucking gay I might ACTUALLY phone them and ask[/QUOTE] I think you should do that and report your findings :v:
[QUOTE=JustAnotherTom;25511462]I'm changing my vote to York actually. I'm a bit bored of visiting London, especially since It's not convenient to drive there[/QUOTE] But if it's in London I can go! [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/img]
This one's going to be in London, another in Edinburgh. Would it not be a good idea to compromise and meet half way?? (Manchester)
We just did manchester, twice infact. After the 23rd
[QUOTE=spog;25512960]But if it's in London I can go! [img_thumb]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] get bus to london and I'll take you with me there in my pants
[QUOTE=Tea;25513086]get bus to london and I'll take you with me there in my pants[/QUOTE] Well I'd have done that for Manchester if you didn't go up Thursday
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;25512982]This one's going to be in London, another in Edinburgh. Would it not be a good idea to compromise and meet half way?? (Manchester)[/QUOTE] Edinburgh a familiar place for me, that's why I'm going.
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;25512982]This one's going to be in London, another in Edinburgh. Would it not be a good idea to compromise and meet half way?? (Manchester)[/QUOTE] York is in the middle, albeit a bit to the right.
[QUOTE=spog;25513100]Well I'd have done that for Manchester if you didn't go up Thursday[/QUOTE] well next time It's YOU I'll be basing my plans around [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] by plans I mean dick
London is nicer Manchester is closer
Decisions decisions
[QUOTE=Tea;25513180] by plans I mean dick[/QUOTE] [img]http://cdn0.knowyourmeme.com/i/000/041/662/original/1267268144448.jpg?1267333330[/img] But yeah I wouldn't mind the long journey if I had company it's just for Manchester I was looking at like 8 hours by myself in which I'd die of boredom
Could anyone trustworthy provide me with a place to crash in case I get cheap plane-tickets? Nowadays you can get tickets for like 50 bucks, it's not much more than what you pay for a train and I certainly would do that if I know enough details in advance. Only if it's London though.
[QUOTE=spog;25512960]But if it's in London I can go! [img_thumb]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I could come down to yours for a day or two and we could have a pre-meetup, kind of like the one at marks. Then we could all drive up to York! And then you can just be stranded in York with no way of getting back :v: [editline]19th October 2010[/editline] [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/img]

What's the best website to get quotes for train tickets, the ones I am looking at are going to be like four hundred pound each return tickets, yet I only live three-four hours away in the car D:.
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;25512982]This one's going to be in London, another in Edinburgh. Would it not be a good idea to compromise and meet half way?? (Manchester)[/QUOTE] York is slap bang in the middle on the main train line between those two cities
I have money this time :v: I could probably come, but that would cost me somewhere around 3 driving lessons or the actual Practical test. I don't know how much money I'm going to need for these damn lessons so I can't spend much without shitting myself. Hence why I won't come. Some day, some day.
[QUOTE=Spikesandhands;25511874]haha, i totally agree, southampton, means i have to walk about three steps to the meetup[/QUOTE] Still enough time to get stabbed if you go via Eastleigh / Shirley, Bournemouth is best meeting place instead (and it's only like £5 return train)
do it in b[img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]ighton

[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;25512982]This one's going to be in London, another in Edinburgh. Would it not be a good idea to compromise and meet half way?? (Manchester)[/QUOTE] sounds kinda dumb to be honest. What's wrong with both? Anyway they probably won't be at the same time so it's plausible to go to both.
Many thanks Gestapo. Walsall [WSL] London Euston [EUS] 58 pound for two adults, not bad and will only take two hours. That's one way, 83 for a return for two adults.
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;25514425]sounds kinda dumb to be honest. What's wrong with both? Anyway they probably won't be at the same time so it's plausible to go to both.[/QUOTE] I understand that, I'm just saying that Manchester is the biggest place in between the two most populated areas in the north and the south. I don't think it's dumb to be fair
[QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;25514497]I understand that, I'm just saying that Manchester is the biggest place in between the two most populated areas in the north and the south. I don't think it's dumb to be fair[/QUOTE] Biggest but not necessarily the nicest. I think York would be a lot nicer for this.
I'm just thinking purely for activities, as far as I know the main reason people come to meets isn't to enjoy the scenery! I am not familiar with York so I wouldn't know what there is to do, plus as far as I am aware it isn't on the main line

Nottingham, we can vandalise the robin Hood statue.
I really need to move to the UK after college.
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;25515254]Hello I am a friendly York resident and am going to list things to do in York -list of awesome things-[/QUOTE] This sounds awesome. I think I'm going to York with friends either way now :P
