Ok, the late August bank holiday falls on the 31st this year. A few birthdays all fall in that last week, so would the majority be up for Sat 29th and Sun 30th at least? If we are still doing the week long thing, the week ending the 30th is still good for me, but we need to get a majority vote on that.
huzzah! a weekend.. sounds good to me, and a bank holiday you say? even better... I'd be up for that, provided the Chinese don't take me hostage on my trip there in July/August start...
might have to see if i can make it to this one.only been bout 5 years ive been wanting to get drunk with a few people on here

so, have we decided on a location date for this thing? I glanced over a post over on THN that said something about York? That'd be a pig for me cos I'd have just got back from Mongolia and have no money or holiday time left :(
As much as I'd love you guys to come to Cornwall (hey, Newquay is just up the road from me!) aiming for this area during peak tourist season isn't really an option unless you want to pay the premium (and book well in advance). You can get B&B's for around £15/£20 a night though with some pubs/b&b's that enjoy a good lock in.
For night-life though, you can't really beat Newquay, lot's of hot drunk local girls, and lots of hot tourist girls looking for a holiday fling! As well as a beach, and the weather down here is frikken lovely at the moment.
Prices for a cottage in August.... £1,035 for a week, Sept/Oct it drops down to £595 (and £275 in January).
August really is the best time to come here (weather wise) but also the worst time to come here because property prices will shoot through the roof because of the uber high demand.
And no, you can't all sleep on my floor :P :lol: :lol:
Having a look around, you can get one for around 800 in August, a good cheap one with pool's already fully booked though. Try http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/newquay,-cornwall/
York was a sugguestion for a meet from last year, it got changed to Nottingham in the end.Quote:

i reckon london somewhere would be good? preferably south, there are plenty of cheap hotels everywhere or failing that southend on someplace by the sea?

is it true Hoder kept saying " DROP THAT WEAPON" to random people LOL! :lol:
August is all good for me, should be able to make it regardless of location if money is ok - started to hide pennies from myself for it now.
Shall we try and have a definitive plan sorted by... Friday 19th June? Still a short while for us to chat about it but enough time to hopefully get some hotels booked fairly cheapish.
As for a location i've never been to the capital before so it would be interested in heading to London. Just so long as it's priced within reason ( saying that it's £3.30 for a pint of lager/cider in my local night club :wtf: ) and not somewhere we're all going to get lost in!
If we do hit up London i'd also be interested in making a weekend of it staying two nights as to possibly get in and see some of the sights.
Yeah London sounds mighty Fine !
London will be expensive, but it depends where you go. The Nag's Head next to the royal opera house will set you back £4+ a pint, but a spoons or something similar won't be that bad.Quote:

That's not too bad actually, the pub I work in charges that much after 11. Is a lot for a spoons though, it will probably be cheaper in one that's not in a tourist area.Quote:

It's been a while though, if a couple of us want to go down the day before to recce a few area and jog my memory, that might be useful.
You could just go buy a map from one of the tourist offices or google one of the many websites that tell you how good certain cities are to go drinking in.
If its in london I might come down to this one. I can get limited cheap hotel accommodation at the Union Jack club, Roz if you're up for it?
OK NOOBS LET ME GIVE YOU A TOUR OF LONDON.
Depending on what you want and where in London you want to go will depend on how much you want to spend. If central London isn’t important then there some great places around Brick Lane although they aren’t exactly posh, they are VERY lively with security at either end of a street, bars in the middle and people partying and drinking in the street. Other non central locations include Angel, they have a few spoons which aren’t too badly priced and when that shuts you have quite a few other bars and pubs still open after 11. If you want central and cheap then places Moose Bar (bond street station on the corner of Selfridges) do a fantastic happy hour between 5-9 : -
Cocktails 3.90 (excluding Champagne)
Draught Becks 2.75
Corona/San Miguel 2.75
House WIne Glass-2.90 Bottle-9.75
Spirit & Mixer 2.90
Tequila Shots 2.90
NOTE: The price has gone up, it was £2.75 for cocktails. DAMN THE CREDIT CRUNCH !
I was in Met Bar (the weatherspoons on baker street) the other day and a Fosters was about £3.00 but to be honest I’m used to paying around that much in London, anything cheaper is a bonus.
I do honestly recommend somewhere close to central to avoid disappointment with bars shutting seen as most of the central bars are open till about 2-3am. Most places stop serving food at around 11 anyway but if you are slightly outside central like the places mentioned above then I guarantee you there will be a chicken shop every 5 minutes !
I tell you what is cheap, that’s Nags head Algate east, £1 FRIGGININ PER LAP DANCE!
PEACE OUT !
You were paying those sort of prices in nottingham last time you all came up there. Noone seemed to care then.
Ok, so who's volunteering to organise this little shindig then? All we need is a contact and where to meet initially, then people can start booking rooms etc.
Anyone?
C'mon guys, there must be someone out there who wants to organise us getting drunk in our fair capital. We've had a few meets now 'up north' so it's time to head south.
At this rate we'll end up in Nottingham. Again. :p
Less Drinking.
More Patching.
More drinking while patching
All of the beers you mentioned are terrible.Quote:

I cannot make the last weekend in September, as I am off to be a geek in Brum to look at toy soldiers and enter painting competitions.
Its a bench mark, the prices dont differ much from that. Let me guess u drink that pissy 2% coors shit..typical yank !Quote:

I suggest you look around for places to crash first, find out what the best prices are and then plan the event around that. I dont know what living prices were like up north but in london your looking at an average of £80 a night. As long as your not all the way in west london or south london, picking a place to drink will not be hard.
Getting a Travel lodge Family room for 3 people will make it end up costing less than 20 quid each in London, which is great.
you probably think the export heineken is a good beer...Quote:
