Prime example of why I should check where people are from before jumping to aid.

With a lil cunning arrangement with some buds I just might be able to make the Thursday night to one of these things for once (as well as the traditional Friday and Saturday nights). Naturally, I shall be bringing Jungle Speed, Rabbids version. You'll have to check if Bez plans to bring the original version.

Are there many people turning up for all three nights in Manchester? I don't think I'm going to be able to make the Saturday epic but I want to be there for thursday and friday.

Friday and Saturday nights are going to be the main ones. From what I recall of last year's meet, I'd say they were both of equal fun really. Although if there is a possibility of you making the Saturday night, I'd recommend it. The Kyoto Lounge really is quite an awesome place if you like video games and beer.

I think the majority of people will just be there for the Friday and Saturday nights. There will probably be the odd person around for all three nights and some will just turn up for one of them. I can't really comment on what goes down on the Thursdays but I'd imagine it's going to be far quieter than the main two nights.

Yeah ill be around for all the days, as will a few other people, mostly locals. Some people have only showed up one day in the past, its not unheard of. As Dean mentioned, the main days are friday and saturday. But you might find it easier to talk to people on the non-busy day if thats your thing.

Not going. Because CBA. And also because I can't get the days off from work.

But mostly CBA.

I'll buy you a drink, and others will buy you a drink, then as a collective we shall get you completely drunk and then...I guess I'll leave thinking of something amusing to the next person.

Are you volunteering to strip?

Why dya have to have it the same weekend as my girlfriends birthday do? I guess if I can't make the saturday, then we're gonna have to make thursday a little louder :) Did someone say tequila shots??

Got a question. Where will you guys be hanging around Friday afternoon? I ask this since I can check in as early as 1PM and I figured the earlier I can start the meet on that day the better. It was convenient last year when you all were at the Printworks Premier Inn when I arrived.

I'm willing to do that for Pico Day. However, I'll only do it if I have a stable permanent job as opposed to the temporary contracts I've had.

Oh yea, I really should get a list of where the places will be and get peoples phone numbers etc. again every meet up I almost get lost and miss it. Namely the Scotland one.

Well, I'm going to be around from about 10:30 on Friday morning, so I'll probably just be hanging around the centre. I'll take a look in the Arndale Centre if nobody is alive and kicking at that time. I'll assume you still have my mobile number from last time. I'm pretty sure I've not changed it since then and I still have your number from last year. Can easy let me know when you arrive and we can meet up.

If you don't have my number just PM me and I'll send you it. Same goes for any of you really, assuming I know you to some extent.

Still got your number. I'll give you a buzz on mobile when I've arrived at the Premier Inn.

Last night I got a few texts. I was in the middle of working on stuff, so wasn't really paying attention. the conversation went like this:

"Liljim, hope you had an ace new year! Mine was muted - Fritz Lang film then a walk to see the fireworks. Wishing you brilliant 2012. Hope 2 c u in manchester!"

"I don't know who you are.... Who is this?"

"This is Bez."

"Oh, thank you. Hope you had a good one too. Will we be seeing you in Manchester?"

Given that he'd already he'd hinted that he'd be there in his first message, I now feel very stupid, haha.

Bez's texts always brighten the day, I got wished a merry christmas for 2015 the other day. Sometimes I wonder bout his brain.

This is what I've been missing out by not having Bez's number? Damn! Texts like them would easily brighten up my day.

Fuck I was in UK this week but today I'm home,so maybe I will miss this...have fun guys!

Well atleast you'll show us your facial hair, thats more than gagsy does.

And now, the special haircut I was planning on wearing to the meet. I'm not sure I'd be able to keep a beard like this until the end of the meet, even if I were to miraculously acquire enough money to get transport and accommodation up in Manchester.

Still, the beard, for your delectation. Could I get worse? I hope so, I've got a few more ideas, but I might be taking part in Movember this year!

Certainly better than the redneck facial hair of previous London meetage. I like it. Also your sig kinda syncs up nicely with that photo.

And I would do the same but no one wants to see my facial hair.

Coop, you're no longer metal. Don't even think we'll do a heavy metal duet with that kind of hair.
