Okay guys i am thinking of a ND meet in Blackpool england a nice day on the pleasure beach and a night out on the town

date set for 30th of october 2010 :)
BlackCat : 2010-07-12 00:48:54
Maybeee if I don't have much uni work :)
blackdog : 2010-07-12 00:49:12
I reckon it'll be a bit weird, but fuck it - so much notice and the prospect of a piss-up it's hard to refuse!
ManiacMagic : 2010-07-12 00:50:09
well ... i can try but idk its gonna cost a lot for me to get there from us and my football season might not be over yet.
ABORT : 2010-07-12 02:02:35
the beach in october? have fun...
DragonKing : 2010-07-12 02:12:55
pleasure beach is an amusement park biggest in england
grape : 2010-07-12 04:21:33
I might b able to make it tbh... I was planning to finally see that illuminations thing anyway though I was thinking to go the first week of September to avoid having to give a birthday party :P (I never know who to invite or not most of my friends hate each other :S)
ManiacMagic : 2010-07-12 04:26:33
oooh an amusment park. i love roller coasters ... so yeah if we get a few us peeps there i think we should get some euro peeps to go to the us too have two gathers per year!
Speedy-J : 2010-07-12 06:49:47
not a bad idea.. if i've got any money left after the start of school and some spare time i'll try to make it!
Kublai : 2010-07-12 07:27:10

Amsterdam?? Are you kidding me? if there's one place on earth with a horrid reputation it's Amsterdam (imo). It's where all that evil is spawns from, it's the gate to hell! (again imo)

dreis : 2010-07-13 01:30:58
Too far for me...
Maybe in a few years when i´m rich!
grape : 2010-07-13 03:58:32
By that time the rest of us probably died of old age or alien abduction sadly... ^.^

grape : 2010-07-28 10:58:33
What's the status on this plan so far?
Carrington : 2010-07-29 23:15:02
Blackpool my home town, wont take long for me to get to the pleasure beach, and blackpool is a good nite out when u got a nice bunch of ppl with u! <3 u ND xXx
grape : 2010-07-30 07:57:45
so it's a go then? I need to make some arragements if that's the case like a plane ticket and a place to stay :p
Carrington : 2010-07-30 10:25:50
thik its best to get a last minute flight n somewhere to stay grape, lets make a list on whos comin etc, DragonKings plan so he can do all the paperwork :D
grape : 2010-08-01 00:48:41
I think it's about time to round up who's coming and get this thing organised.

Are there any other crazy Dutchies that plan to go besides me? We could try to book a group flight or something if that's the case... /me prefers to travel with entourage
DragonKing : 2010-08-01 01:15:59
one of lottie friends runs a bed and breakfast so we can help arrange accomidation for those who want it
DeadMan : 2010-08-01 15:04:13
Blackpool is going against WBA at home that weekend. Not the best of teams :p
I still consider my self fairly new to the ND community but i'd very much like to attend this if I get a few days of work. What I need to know is what the accomodations will cost.
DeadMan : 2010-08-01 15:17:51
Oh and what kind of weather you got down there? Rain and more rain?
grape : 2010-08-01 20:40:03
oooh deadman is going to join us, it'll be just like halloween with a walking dead person amongst us! :D I hope you don't smell to much of rotting corpse though :P
You still have about 3 months to get a weekend off from work m8 ;)
DragonKing : 2010-08-01 21:59:21
accompdations will be fairly cheep for a bed and breakfast anyway as it is a friend of a friend who owns runs a place people can stay ofc if you want more upmarket blackpool as that as well,
DragonKing : 2010-08-01 23:46:15
for anybody coming by plane best place to aim for is manchester airport and get a train to blackpool, me or lottie will meet you at the station i am sure:)
DeadMan : 2010-08-02 06:56:07
Already cheched prices on planes and from here to there it was just under £300 which is very very cheap.
harv : 2010-08-02 18:46:17
Flying to stansted would be cheaper, but taking the train from there to blackpool looks like a pain.. =\

The ticket to manchester is reasonable though, so I think I'll try to make it.
grape : 2010-08-02 19:29:56
I'm just scared that if I wait to long with booking this flight prices may rise well above my budget :/
Carrington : 2010-08-03 11:41:35
indeed grape, we could do with some real numbers before u book ur flight! min of 7-10 ppl would be great tho 2 which already live ere!! ;)

deadman october isnt the best of months for the weather but ur not comin the the sun n sand ur coming to get really fuckin pissed! :D
digitalzero : 2010-08-03 12:23:48
fucking euros :(
harv : 2010-08-03 13:10:00
We're talking about england digitalzero.. There are far better places to go if you want to fuck euros..
DragonKing : 2010-08-03 13:24:27
well atm we have confirmed me grape lottie carrington so at 4
digitalzero : 2010-08-03 14:04:32
england, whatever.. i wish i was over there so i could party it up with you guys; i suppose me, abort, jdean, aries and the rest of us USA people will have to get together in vegas and have a weekend!
DragonKing : 2010-08-03 14:20:42
count me in digitalzero for that
grape : 2010-08-03 17:44:04
We could always nerd it up by making it an international video meeting... :S

harv : 2010-08-03 18:00:39
Actually, to be really nerdy we could drop the video and voice and just use text..
DragonKing : 2010-08-03 18:05:28
some sort of internet rely chatting type of thing maybe even play games as well
grape : 2010-08-03 18:41:03
perhaps, and this could actually all be enjoyed from the safe confinements of our own homes!
digitalzero : 2010-08-03 18:46:28
maybe we can all join a particular channel too where we can laugh and share fun times!
grape : 2010-08-03 18:49:02
Maybe this is getting a little off track...w8 let me rephrase that. This is getting of track, please revert back to rounding up ppl and start counting confirmations so I can no for sure if I should book those flight tickets!
darkstrider : 2010-08-03 19:22:41
Oooh this looks like fun!

Blackpool pleasure beach is a right good laugh, would need somewhere to stay though, any idea on B&B prices for your friends place DK?
DragonKing : 2010-08-03 20:25:44
25 per night i belive could be cheeper
grape : 2010-08-04 05:20:12
oh right I almost forgot to take that into calculation :/ hope you can manage to get that price down a little
DeadMan : 2010-08-04 13:14:58
£25? Thats cheap ffs! And its only for like 2 nights.
grape : 2010-08-04 15:08:28
I'm poor :/ I earn my cash in € not £ and I plan to stay longer then 2 nights, probably 4
DeadMan : 2010-08-04 17:23:02
I earn mine in Norwegian Kroner which is really bad compared to $ or £ or even Euros.
grape : 2010-08-05 04:31:27
o.O I always hear that in Norway things are more expensive and in effect people get paid more compared to the wages over here anyway... Though lets stop talking money for now, its just a tool ;)
Carrington : 2010-08-05 16:25:44
hmm £25 per nite.. and u wanna stay for 4 nites, wouldnt it be cheaper stayin for 5-6 nites in a hotel rather than payin per nite in a B&B?
darkstrider : 2010-08-05 17:33:27
You have to pay per night as well in a hotel Carrington, £25 is pretty reasonable, hotel would be like double that.
grape : 2010-08-05 21:04:36
Yeah 25 is not really expensive indeed but the cheaper the better ;)
Carrington : 2010-08-07 17:04:05
ye but what i mean is u could probs find a hotel at £150ish DBB for 4-5 days!
grape : 2010-08-07 23:40:12
next time I'm just gonna couch surf or camp or somethin...
Carrington : 2010-08-09 12:56:37
take it this wont be happenin now then? :/
grape : 2010-08-09 15:41:38
On the contrary, DK just announced the following:

[17:37] <@Brynley> can you put on forum it is still on
[17:37] <@[PNY]Grape[OUT]> can I put what on where?
[17:37] <@Brynley> ND forum
[17:38] <@Brynley> that meet is still on

So there you have it :)
I'll probably be flying the 27th returning on the 1st. ^.^ taking some time off from school and turning it into a (in my opinion well deserved) mini vacation :P hope to meat each and every one of you there ;)
Carrington : 2010-08-09 20:21:45
ah sweet

Anyone else wantin to join in the fun then pm grape or DK/Brynley himself! ;)
grape : 2010-08-10 08:12:24
Got my ticket! ^.^
darkstrider : 2010-08-13 17:39:09
Me & Peanuts will be there!
Carrington : 2010-08-13 18:03:58

DeadMan : 2010-08-13 22:12:24

darkstrider : 2010-08-31 08:14:21
Yey DK has access back!
Williams : 2010-08-31 08:21:37
general forums darkstrider, every ex nd has access to that unless they left in a bad way ;)
darkstrider : 2010-08-31 20:23:29
Well DK said he had his access to general removed as well, thats why he had to tell Grape to post on here that meet was still on.
grape : 2010-08-31 21:10:18
Yeps well things change I suppose ^.^
Amon : 2010-08-31 21:19:31
Well it wasn't, this thread was in the members section before.
grape : 2010-09-01 07:16:16
ah ofc ^.^
damo8 : 2010-09-01 13:43:26
Where is this meet taking place?
grape : 2010-09-01 13:48:11
Blackpool
damo8 : 2010-09-01 13:49:47
WTF? Why there.
Aries : 2010-09-01 16:44:49
because it was dk's idea and thats where he and lottie live.
grape : 2010-09-01 17:21:38
Why what's the problem with blackpool?
damo8 : 2010-09-01 19:53:37
Blackpool in October is horrible!!!!!
grape : 2010-09-01 20:17:54
Why?
damo8 : 2010-09-01 20:34:08
Well its a holiday place for summer season, in winter time its bitterly cold.

Plus Blackpool goes into shutdown in Winter months.
wwtoo : 2010-09-01 21:26:35
The pubs are nice and warm :)
grape : 2010-09-01 23:59:02
But I wanna see the Blackpool illuminations! And its autumn then not winter... besides I melt when it's more then 23 degrees Celsius anyway...
damo8 : 2010-09-02 06:11:29
Fair enough....
Carrington : 2010-09-02 10:45:56
idd wwtoo pubs are very nice n warm!!!
grape : 2010-09-02 12:02:43
Should I bring an umbrella? :P
Carrington : 2010-09-03 10:43:47
yes!

what would be a good idea :D
grape : 2010-09-03 20:28:03
Btw damo8 are you planning to come to? ^.^
damo8 : 2010-09-03 20:34:14
I'll consider it nearer the time, dependant on plans.
DragonKing : 2010-09-04 11:07:46
this was never on member forum but i didnt have a C flag so couldnt post on it amon restored that himself
Williams : 2010-09-04 11:47:57
It was on members forum and you where added to the post so you could stil read it, that decision was made so other former nd couldn't read it.
darkstrider : 2010-09-04 16:05:44
How come I can read it then?

Im former ND!
grape : 2010-09-04 16:19:20
Does it really matter?
Williams : 2010-09-04 17:09:49
Nop, enjoy :)
Carrington : 2010-09-22 12:39:38

DragonKing : 2010-09-23 21:29:52

Williams : 2010-10-12 18:25:18
grape, pointless ;)
grape : 2010-10-12 19:13:45
You're right Williams I'm already in top condition :D
Carrington : 2010-10-12 23:46:55

hes only won the drunken monkey award nearly every round ive been here lol
Carrington : 2010-10-13 00:43:00
lol he must be a FAKE!! always have his nick as drunk so we think this shit!! :evil:
ManiacMagic : 2010-10-13 03:48:28
lucky yall didnt play with me in rock ... lol i was always wasted
Amon : 2010-10-13 04:06:17
To me you always seem to be wasted.
ManiacMagic : 2010-10-13 07:32:15
har har har ... maybe i drink more then I realize but no where near the lush that i was then lol ... i was wasted wasted much to often back then lol.
grape : 2010-10-13 08:19:53
Tbh I dont drink as much as I used to the first 3 rounds I received the award but the reputation seem to have stuck with me ofc it helps that I often like to spend some time on irc after a night of heavy boozing :P
wwtoo : 2010-10-13 08:24:45
Probably helps changing to single malt - you really don't want to be too drunk to appreciate the taste
grape : 2010-10-13 09:10:46
Well not really, I usually start out on the single malt but switch to the blends as soon as I notice I start to lose my sense of taste... :/
obiwan : 2010-10-13 19:34:18
IS it gonna be a Pub crawl where everybody gets wasted or is there something else planned?

i think the plan was to hang out at Pleasure Beach (biggest amusement park in England apparently)
darkstrider : 2010-10-14 10:22:09
Plan is Pleasure Beach on Saturday day time, then evening hit the town!

Carrington : 2010-10-15 16:37:32
Ok, ive done some research on the internet to see where is best to go on the 30th, EVERYWHERE is doin halloween party's, syndicate is doin one, sanuk, rumours, walkabout, its gonna be a scary nite ;)

im guessin that the big clubs like sydicate and sanuk will charge BIG on the doors, unless ur with me ;) but then ull have to wait til i get there before u can use me to get in places free.....;)

the other small places like walkabout and rumours will be charging no more than £3-£4 pound, PLEASE NOTE RUMOURS WILL ALSO BE FREE COS I WORK THERE! again ull have to wait for me for that too :P

mufflo : 2010-10-20 20:30:05
Amon, aslong as it's stories that is on our forums and irc. I DON'T want to read about it in the papers or hear it on the news. :P
grape : 2010-10-20 21:41:29
