messaging you all is becoming complicated, so it'll be far easier to condense this into a thread.
The proposal: liquid lunch & drunken evening OR <fingers crossed> park barbecue w/drinks and an establishment serving alcohol until (much) later in the day.
EITHER: August 16th or 17th
Please state if you can make it and your preferred date below, and i'll try sorting it to the majority's requirements.
i'm more likely to be working on the 16th
so 17th is preferred.
^
Either way
I'll be out of the country. Aye, you can shove your lovely times! *cry*
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE
YOU SPURNED US
yeah, 17th is preferable for me cos I'm away till the evening of the 16th.
you declined the opportunity to come last time; stop your whinging.
Annie and i had plans to drink relatively soon anyway, so you could join in then?
I know
I just wanted to say i'd be out of the country, being all intergalactic and stuff hahah ;)
Allright, allright, I can't make,
you might as well call it off you bunch of bastards. You got my hopes up with the talk of ther earlier weekend (especially seeing as I am totally free that saturday...) so if someone wants to meet then maybe I'll be up for that if you are sexy/interesting/rich
There should be an autumn edition
WITH FIREWORKS
i think that would be dangerous
My middle name is Peter*
*Dangerous
i can probably do a pint or two the weekend before,
but that is prime OT time for work so i'll prob. be in here raking it in before i quit
You filthy capatilist whore.
you called?
Keep the change you filthy animal.
This one should be even easier than the last one
because we - kind of - all know who we are.
I totally know who I am, anyway.
is either day good for you, aye?
aye
It will be more awkward
as you won't have any of that new poeple "rarar" banter.
DangerousSnails and commandercool are new
:D
and no need for DiS handles either
which should make Alistair extremely happy :D
I'd call him Medulla Ali to send him spinning...
;D
the hot barbecue coals would be viciously thrown towards you
:p
You're a braver man than I
Can this Glasgow meet be in Edinburgh?
If so, i'm there!
negative: more folks in Glasgow, plus the park is more barbecue friendly
If Edinburgh DiSers arrange a meet
I'd gladly go.
^ agreed
Yeah, this ^
Pretty much
from september i'll have a base of operations in both cities, so it'll be all go. This is the start of Yes_Inc's expansion project to take over every indie scene in the country. I'm heading south and gathering an army before the last mad dash on LDN.
so 17th is a yes, yes_?
It's looking preferred to be that date presently anyway...BUT IT COULD GO EITHER WAY!
yes for me.
affirmative.
i will try and come if it's on the 17th
i'm so tempted to come to this again....
then do - it's Summer!
PLUS with a barbecue people might actually ingest food, as promised.
And lastly, it will be a longer day, therefore with hours of entertainment (weekends mean that going out is problematic for fewer people)
We need a name for this like Zonino.
I suggest ZoninoNorth?
^SHIT
barbecue?
Nah, we need something more Scottish
and not associated with Zonino. This is it's own beast!
No!
Zoninaw!
:D
Sonnino
I definitely won't be able to make the 17th
as I will, in all probability, be returning to Leeds :(
don't be sad; the polls aren't complete yet!
Cat probably won't be able to make it either on the 17th
as she may well have to return to Perth and if not I shall selfishly make her stay with me in Edinburgh :D
bribary - a nice tactic from James. But will it work?
Well I know that Catriona is a better bargaining chip than me :P
"...make it a bottle" ;)
Haha
but you might need a whole cask to deal with me :D
i'll drink red wine with tequila as a mixer to speed things up
will whoever comes on here post-5pm bump this?
I promised i would organise it and i simply must provide!!
consider it done, yo
Yeah we hang out all the cool times.
In fact, tonight, I won't be - I have a girl to see.
Ooh
look at you with your life.
would it be crazy of me to travel from Northamptonshire for this?
ask Gnarls Barkley
that was terrible, i'm so sorry
it was a serious question
i need encouragement. ;(
i don't see why not.
Last time there were about 12 of us, but we're aiming higher this time 'round...
i just feel silly
travelling all that way to see people i've never met. what if we end up hating each other IRL?
then i know a great place to ditch your body ;)
;-)
Chris 'gambas' will be joining
you can all
sit on my stairs doing buckets
we might just take you up on that
Come out Cadd
it'd be good to see you again :)
i like the thought of new faces appearing.
I really hope this works oput successfully and with large(ish) numbers
realistically how much would it cost in travel from hull to glasgow?
i cant come to this one (im on holiday 1-15 of august) but for future reference
far enough in advance? 20/30 quid
stay on dis
i know youl be busy and stuff but stay
my intent is to come back on occasionally
and PM some folk i speak to (you being one of them), so i'll still be in touch every so often, just not on the boards
good :)
when do you leave?will you do a north zonino in the future?
August 13th-ish
I'm sure Tony poptimusgrime or someone else will organise something in the future and several folks have my number, so i'll join in some more (provided it's a weekend, as i'll be teaching darling cherubs in schools mid-week and can't go in smelling of wine / lager / whisky / all of the above)
Oh no! Tony poptimusgrime is me!
Pressure to arrange more meets! Oh my!
Jilly handed the torch to me, and i shall pass it to you
Passing it back to me
Since Louise already passed it to me before. I don't mind, really. THEY'RE FUN
i've not seen Louise on here in ages.
I'll message her the proposed dates; she's always a good laugh
Where is Louise?
I feel bad.
Laos? Bolivia? Castlemilk?
You decide.
You better PM me
motherfucker.
only when drunk
:D
That'll do me just fine.
I'll make sure Catriona doesn't PM you boring shite in return.
PM
i know i'll be one of them
i'm not insecure enough to believe you wouldn't.
by the by: see ^^
Andy says he'll come to one, too....
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
and he doesn't know anyone and lives quite far away.
is that your point?
the very one
cool
yeah but Northamptonshire is even further away than Hull, i hope you lot are worth the effort. ;)
well there'll be a better idea of numbers in a week or so.
Keep your eyes peeled.
Anyway: OT is done, so i'm offski. Catch you tomorrow.
Bum, I would like to have come along,
but I'm in Belgium for Pukkelpop that week.
That said, I'm cripplingly shy on the internet, let alone real life.
I could do this for £36
Obviously, I'd need drinking money, but old friends will put me up for a long weekend, so...
I'm a maybe.
well, i´m working on the 17th
which means i´m probably going to miss out again :(
unless it's on the 16th...
.
remember when i said i'd bump this?
apparently not
yeah, i didn't
i'll bump the shit out of it over the weekend though
Yeah, I think I said something like that...
this will
never happen
why not?
like the dinner 12 of us went out for wouldn't happen?
exactly
.
admittedly
there were several attempts made before that happened
although, this will totally happen
because we're not so shy and weird around each other (those that were there and met and that)
