And I'm still not on the list? I don't know... miss one meet and it's like you don't even exist any more...

I'm definitely coming.

Who's gonna bring the Jungle Speed. I brought mind to the last London meet and noone bothered to play it.

Come at me you scouse bastard.

Tickets booked. I look forward to seeing/meeting you all!

I will for sure.

But if you take it too, you may end up sitting beside another bored traveller, introduce them to Jungle Speed, get laughing and talking, then become friends forever. Or lovers. Who knows?

Train tickets? Get yourself on a MegaBus and get there and back for less than £20. It might take a bit longer, but it leaves you with more money to burn.

I'll check with work see if I can get in on the thursday one also.
If it does come down to 3 days for me then screw going home I'll rent a hotel room like others, if anyone (who won't murder me in the night you know who you are) would like to split one feel free to ask.

Either way its a positive for the friday and saturday, might also come in suit if its not deathly cold for the hell of it. Also free beer.

Yeah, just went ahead with the MegaBus. £16.50 is quite a saving. Just hope I don't get DVT from the cramped seats.

Really looking forward to it now.

The only draw back wih the mega bus is how long it takes and its best if you don't have someone sitting next to you, then you can stretch your legs at times etc it really helps being able to move on one of those buses.

Cool. Since I notice that you're Scottish as well, if you're heading down on the Friday morning, who knows, we might actually end up on the same bus.

Why is it when i see pictures of NG meetups...it's always something homosexually questionable?
You seem like an eccentric bunch and i like your cartoons and such but i don't think im ever going to an NG meetup....like ever.
Not when there's a chance im going to be given a roofie and wake up with my pants off in a ditch somewhere.

Yeah the hot tub does kind of seem homesexual. lol there was only one girl that's probably most of it.

Ah, mines leaves at 6am on Friday from the Borders. Looks like we wont be travel buddies after all. Although I suppose that would have meant you needing to catch a bus at 4am or something so that it was 6am by the time it got here. Not all that practical really.

Ah well, see you in Manchester I suppose.

I added the friday gameplan (or lack there of) to that hub. It's hard to pinpoint just how deep we'll be that day so i dont want to undershoot or overshoot my estimate. Specially considering we always get stragglers that have been keeping up with the thread but not necessarily adding themselves to the roster. So we'll just gather where the main event the following day will be held, and then figure shit out from there. We'll probably go grab some food, let new people get acquainted and then ill direct people to wherever will accomidate our group.

Also, I think this goes without saying, but please bring your ID. There's people at every event who 'forget' to bring theirs and are turned away.

You mean a proof of age ID? Or a Newgrounds ID? Is there a Newgrounds ID? When was that introduced?

i meant an id / drivers license / passport whatever you need to be able to get into a pub /club or whatever 18+ activities rule the night. sorryyy

I might go, but i'm afraid that you guys will rape me... no offense

That's ridiculous. We always ask for consent first.

would quote a few things but on phone which is a pain in the arse to copy and paste... for whoever was asking, more or less anything in the city centre is walkable, but for the lazy there's decent enough free buses going around everywhere, and if you're coming on train you may be able to use the metrolink for free as well.

I won't be doing the ski thing so will just stick to the likely overpriced beer

I'll probably go for the tubing myself. Beats learning stuff.

Jawdyn has been telling me that he was kind enough to book our room, so that means it's final. I'm coming to Manchester. All I have to do now is buy my bus tickets and that's me sorted.

I've been meaning to find a tie as well, but I've not done a whole lot of searching yet. If I can find myself a bright yellow one somewhere, that would be perfect. Not too sure where I'll find one though. Possibly in NEXT, but I find it hard to walk in an out of there with my pride in tact.

It's all becoming very, very real now.

I might not be able to stay on Saturday since I might need to be on Britain's Got Talent that same day (only found out just now).

I'll be coming down in any case. Might just mean I need to head back up on Friday night or something.

i

love

this

Right, so I got my plans now. Going to book a room either tonight or tomorrow. I'll be meeting up with Dean and Jawdyn at the hotel and we'll see what we'll do after that.

I'll possibly be leaving late morning to show up around 3 or 4 pm. My dad will come later but only for hotel reasons (Premier inn). He's just going to stay there for work, don't worry :3. I'll leave to set up my room and come back to the next event ( possibly the dinner ).

For the underaged attendees: We got to decide on what we are doing within the next week so that I won't have to tag along to the 18+ events. ( Even with a fake ID I still look like a fucking 14 year old ).

imma drink all yall under de tablol

Now I'm just curious. What pray tell is your talent?

I didn't think Friday's event would start so soon. When it's 5PM, I'll be heading my way to Manchester. I'll be working until 4PM and by the time I get to Manchester and the Premier Inn, you guys will most likely be elsewhere. I can be terrible at directions at times so it might be best if I just stick to the Saturday.

You're not getting out of it that easy. You're not the only one who's terrible with navigation, but I will make it my mission to assist you in finding the others if need be.

Seriously good luck though, I hope you make it on the show.

I did have mobile phones in mind but then I thought of having to get myself to a specific part of Manchester on my own. I just don't have a good feeling about going around Manchester on my own and quite possibly getting lost at night. I may have been to Manchester many times before but I'm only familiar with some parts of the city. There's still Saturday where I can see you all so it's not like I'm out of the meet entirely. One day is better than nothing for me.

Playing keyboard, shaking maracas and shouting positive messages.

And my razor-wielding skills. ;-) My chin currently resembles a chess board.

Thanks for the encouragement, Leo/Sam.
