I should rephrase slightly: bedding yes, beds no. We have assorted quilts, sheets, pillows, etc, but only a few cushions to actually provide a softer surface to lie on. So it's up to you.

OK, this sounds like a good plan. Someone meet up with we who ride the fabled coaches of the south then and there and we shall join the main host for victory!
Also, thanks to the brilliance of a friend of mine, I have 6 pint's worth of good ale to be consumed as soon as possible (i.e. before it goes off) which I have taken from a firkin of the stuff (that's 72 pints, my friends, and a very good birthday party it was too), and since I doubt I'll be seeing anyone this evening, I will bring it to the meetup.

I'll take numbers - have Thufirs, think I have a Serpy but not sure if it's the right number.
I'll be bringing my sleeping bag, it's super duper comfy. :3

Sounds delicious and beer-ful.

Anyone handing out numbers willy-nilly is welcome to hand out mine, too. Well... Thufir is. I'm not actually sure whether Tasroth has my new one...

Could you bring it to part of the meetup that isn't the Bar Loco event please?

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Oh. I probably could use a number too. (nodnod)

I'm sure it'll be gone by the pre-pre-meetup meetup meetup, or the pre-meetup meetup at the latest. It'll be easily gotten through. That's pre-(meetup meetup)drinking for you. :smallwink:
I must now ponder to myself - do I pack my cape?
Oh, and I seem to have lost all of my Playgrounder contacts on my phone (In my childhood, we wrote them down... I should start doing that again), so numbers pl0x.

Take the director Stephen Joseph's date of birth in ddmmyy format, multiply it by the word "BOOBS" upside-down, add the number of the first chipset available for the Pentium 4, and the result is my phone number (minus its initial zero).

Well, in that case, maybe someone can call, or maybe we could make use of this newly acquired Skype.

PMing. I'll give you all Serp's number as well, since you're all arriving after the sing-along starts so I'll be there (Well, I might be back by the tiem Hamish arrives, but still better to be sure).
ION: There is a Lesser Minion here. He bore up fairly well through my rehearsal lasting about three and a half hours (IRN, I'm really hungry) and now we're back at mine. The pre-pre-pre-meetup-meetup-meetup meetup is in progress!
(I think that's the right number of 'pre-'s)

How did you discover that? Were you just looking up multiples of BOOBS? Seems like the sort of thing I'd do...

This is going to be a fantastic trip.

Ku, you maybe don't want to be putting your mobile number on a publically-accessible place like this forum--some bot will scoop it up and you'll be getting texts trying to sell you stuff in no time!

It's ok.. It's a calculated risk. I've been doing it on these boards for the past 5 years. And the only weirdo that's every tried to freak me out by contacting me on it was Archie. Maybe one small change, just to confuse any marketing bots... :smallwink:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Fred and I are on the coach, as is someone we thoughr was Lix, but we‘re not sure. LIX, if you see thiss, we‘re the two hoopy froods sitting on the left side of the coach near the back.
See y‘all in seven hours.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Oh, I should've done this before, but so people will recognise the people meeting them at places, have a couple of photos:
There, now hopefully no-one will end up waiting around at a station not being able to recognise anyone.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Just got back from the train station. Flooding at Grantham means I'm gonna have to wait until after 5 to see if I can make it.
Currently not looking too good. If I can, I'll try and get a train that'll likely get to Newcastle either 20:33 or about 21:23 if they're on time. If not... I'll check tomorrow, and if that won't work then I won't be coming - Sunday trains are even more unreliable.
Looking up alternatives as we speak. Could I have Qwaz's and/or Tasroth's number in case I can come up tonight? :smallsmile:

Castaras, if you can't manage tonight...we are leaving from Derby tomorrow morning at 8.30-9 a.m. You could catch a bus from Leicester to here, if you want, and you could come with us to Newcastle by car.
Let me know if you're interested, and I'll PM you my phone number. :smallsmile:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
At the moment in a little village near cambridge... not so sure it'll be practical that early, unfortunately. :smallfrown: let me look up stuff (poke lensman and starfish) and see.
edit: Closer look at the current weather, decision at the moment is - won't be coming up today, will look up weather and attempt to get there tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

Train trouble here as well, worrying like hell.

Which station you stuck at? Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping you get to Newcastle safely.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Managed to get s train heading in a Newcastley direction but part of the line is flooded so will be late. I've also lost Tas and Thufir number if you read this guy's can you pm them to me?
Also phone keyboards suck.
