Wait, your sleeping bag weighs 3kg? What the hell?

Is that a lot or a little? Anyway, it's not so much the weight as the size. I'm flying back with only hand luggage, and it takes up more than half of my bag.

Fine, be that way, see if I care :'(
Nah, that's fine by me. And it'll help make Qwaz go slightly less mental.
Nearly time! :biggrin:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Yeah, that should be fine.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Oh God, I'm going up to Newcastle in just over 24 hours time.:eek:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Enjoy yourselves, guys, and don't do anything I wouldn't do... :smallwink:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
IMPORTANT
If you're arriving tomorrow, make sure you have the number for at least one of the following people:
Thufir
Me (Tasroth)
Qwaz
Serps
Also, if you're getting here after 19:30, make sure you have either mine or Qwaz's, as Thufir will be at his G&S singalong and unavailable.
If you need a revelant number, post or PM within the next 24 hours.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
So what is the plan for those of us arriving after 19:30. Understandably it will be too late for us to go to the sing-a-long-a-G-and-S.
Thoughts?

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Checking in last minute..
Haven't been keeping up with the thread for the past few weeks on account of being in Sweden visiting the family and generally relaxing (and securing Bassett Wine Gums for the meetup on the return trip :smallcool:)
I will be making a day trip out of the meetup this time, so I'll be arriving on Saturday morning and then go back on Saturday night.
I'll also bring along at least a +1, possibly a +2.
Now I just have to go bother the neighbours of a friend of mine so I can get my bag of games at, since I left it with her before I went to Sweden, and she's now down in Kent for the rest of July. Then I'll be all set.

A leisurely evening meal somewhere would be good with plenty of idle chitchat. I have a court order that prevents me from singing in public on health and safety grounds. >.>

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Given the varied arrival times, current plan is for everyone arriving tomorrow to congregate at Qwaz's. Anyone arriving before Thufir heads to the G&S thing who wants to can go along. The rest of us can generally chill out (possibly involving a certain amount of pre-meetup gaming), and sort food however seems best. Might be takeaway rather than going out somewhere, we can decide tomorrow.

You too, Succubus? Me too! :smallbiggrin:
Also, KuReshtin, may I ask you if you are staying in Newcastle or Whitley Bay?

I stay in Largs, which is on the west coast of Scotland. I'll be driving about 4 hours to get to Newcastle in the morning, and then leave at around 11pm-11:30 to drive home.

Ops.... you had said that, I had read it and promptly forgot. Sorry. :smallredface:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Curly is NOT COMING, so there is a free space at Thufir's because it was Curly,s but she's not going so it's not hers any more.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Curly is coming....
....she just doesn't realise it yet.

Hey Strawberries and Strawberries' hubby: have you already booked a motel?

Yup. We have a B&B in Whitley Bay, the Marlborough Hotel. It was one of the few B&Bs with free rooms avaiable.

Maybe we should give Strawberries' hubby a name instead of just calling him 'Strawberries' hubby'.
My vote goes to calling him 'Cream'. :smallwink:
-
Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
I second this motion :smallbiggrin:
Also Curly will be here in spirit, so her name stays where it is.
Soooooo... Who needs meeting somewhere, and who's gonna be turning up at Walkergate Metro station?

...if you somehow manage to get Curly up here, I may love you forever. :smallsmile:
If not... hm. I was going to say we could call her during the meetup to say we miss and whatever, but that might just make her more sad about the funtimes she'll be missing.

Lets do it. Surely it would be worse for Curly to think we've abandoned her...

I'll be meeting Z at the train station at about eight, so if we all meet up there, it could be beneficial
Also, IMPORTANT
The waistcoat brigade must ride again. People who have waistcoats, bring them, wear them and be ready for glory!

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
I don't have a waistcoat but I do have a very nifty hat.

Actually, the lazy bum man of my life :smalltongue: used to have an account here, even if he hasn't used it for ages. So, his forum name would be Snow Leopard. I totally support "Cream", by the way...but don't tell him I told you that! :smallwink:

Awwww.... I've got some, but they're all in Italy. You could have told me before I packed... :smallfrown::smalltongue:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
I could do with swapping numbers with someone, I seem to be getting in a fair bit before everyone else, so I'm happy to wander around Newcastle for a bit.
So I don't need to bring a sleeping bag if I'm staying at Thufir's?
-
Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Probably not. We should have enough bedding for everyone.
And I'll PM you my number.

Tasroth, would you mind pm-ing it to me, too? I've got Thufir's, but it'd be nice to have another person we can call if we get hopelessly lost (yes, those things are known to happen to us. :smallwink:)

Well, if that's the case, I might just bring my sleeping bag and leave the airbed at home. What with the two boardgames, space is kind of at a premium in my bags.

I do have Skype now.
And I won't mind being able to talk, better to get the gossip in almost-real time if I can.
