Lords and Ladies of the greatest nation in the world (For those confused, I am talking about the UK),

I would like to propose a meet in early 2016.

Any takers?

I thought we could host it at a central location, as opposed to having people travel down to London, we could meet in a more central location? Birmingham? Personally I would prefer London (as I live near there) but any takers or suggestions would be great.

Lived in Brum, outside of pubs ( I can't drink ) and shopping malls, it was a little empty, but I don't mind just sitting around with people somewhere if I turn up. @Jovolo is coming of course. Probably would prefer London (it's also cheaper for me to travel to London). January or March would be fine.

Seftin

I would love for it to take place in London but I'm concerned some UK people loathe A) London and B ) having to travel that distance from whichever part of the UK they live in, though London is, of course, the greatest city on Earth.

Mishgul

i have to travel 7 hours to get to london and 7+ travel time from london to get anywhere else. >(

Jovolo

Of course I'll be there

I prefer London too. Or Luton, Luton is cosy. 

Seftin

Luton is only cosy because it is on fire most of the time.

London isn't particularly central, it's true - but it does have the advantage of relatively good transport links to the rest of the UK.  Birmingham is quite a bit closer to Edinburgh than London is - but Edinburgh to Birmingham is five and a half hours, compared to ~4h20m Edinburgh to London.

Disclosure: I'll be living in London next year, so a London meet would make my life easier (though as I said, it's easy enough for me to get from London to pretty much anywhere in the UK).

Mishgul

wouldn't mind going to edinburgh. Loved it the last time I was there.

Sybilla

I would also be amenable to d**king everyone else over and meeting in London.

Rangor

Screw the lazy brits. Let's do london. If they can't be bothered to travel 4.5 hours to meet I don't want to meet them anyways! (yay 1.5 hour flight)

Mishgul

Will drag mats along too so he can complain. But i am not in charge. Ever again. Never again.

Seftin

Carmain was the best at organising. He turned up eventually, like 4 hours late.

Jovolo

you need to work on your punctuality Carmain

Seftin

@Jovolo always shows up early and leaves before everyone arrives. THAT is how prompt he is.

Sobriquet

I'd be interested. Weekends are very tricky though due to work and child care, especially if it was held in London. I'm half way between Leeds and Manchester for reference.

Sybilla

York is nice, actually. Might be an alternative to appease our Viking friends.

Milenka

Count me in, but we need to set a date far enough in advance so I can arrange to have time off from work! 

Mishgul

Milenka says i can't go if i don't take charge of things. 

Sybilla

I can organise London if you like. Camden & general area is probably good for things to do/places to hang out.

Khaibit

As someone who was born and raised in Luton.. it is not cozy, it is a shithole. 

-panics and runs away at the thought of a meet-

Sobriquet

Flew from Luton to Belfast once. Can confirm the above

Sabiru

Could probably do London in jan.

Seftin

@sabiru, you can come on the basis you do not enfeeble/catharsis anyone.

Mishgul

He never enfeebles. That is what i am for.

Aurora

Depending on the month, I -could- lower My standards and do London. My standards do not go low enough for Luton, however. May need advice on cheerfully cheap (but not a dive) hotels!

Aurora

Addition : family birthdays forbid doing London in late Jan.

I thought we were all family. 

Szanthax

Tube to cockfosters.... I get it I'm 12

Xaden

Screw london, everyone come to Dublin

Jadua

I'm up for this if it hasn't happened yet. London or Oxford or the Midlands.

Szanthax

I met people in London like 10 years ago from achaea... I forget who they were though
