Newcastle Meet Up

Recommended Posts

To be honest

Very Aspie :P

 

if this doesn't get sorted out soon, the heavy snow will bring the one telephone line to the north down and the entire northern half of the country will be without internet access and phones for three months. Then there's the problem of sheep roaming around and the dirt tracks in Newcastle city centre being turned into quagmires which even the hardiest of carts won't be able to use

:D:lol:

(No offence meant by my original post btw :unsure:)

Fine by me. If you want me to book let me know when final numbers are in.

December 1st . . . Do you think work would make an exception to the no-holiday-in-december rule? I may as well ask cos it's far enough away to book cheap train tickets! I had assumed I wouldn't be able to make it, but I just might.

Neil :lol::lol:

 

Enough wise cracking chuck, are you and Emily coming too or is that a daft question? :whistle:

Sadly it's a 'no' for us two this time around as work means we can't make it :(

I can get there and back for �64 :o

 

I'll have to find somewhere to stay Saturday night cos the last train that isn't an overnighter with 3 stops (so no chance of sleep) leaves at 4pm.

 

Unless I can find somewhere cheap enough to stay 2 nights, the first (affordable) train doesn't arrive until 1.30 on Saturday, so I'll be late. Who knows where I'll be! Is Newcastle Station anywhere near the City Centre?

It's my fault, I've finally managed to convince someone to actually give me a job (I started my second week today, yep, still haven't been fired!) and unfortunately the job involves working every alternate Saturday. Having started last week working the Saturday, 1st December falls on a Saturday 'on' week. It's normal hours (well, we do finish half hour earlier on a Saturday) so I'd work 8.00am-3.30pm :(

 

We'll have to meet up again after Christmas, we could have an anniversary meet-up :) (plus me and Neil would have just been together a year then so you lot would have an excuse to get drunk!)

 

Anyway stopping rambling for once,

 

Emily

Congratulations on the job Emily! I am sorry you can't make the meet, but the job is good news. There's no chance you could swap a shift? It's difficult to ask for things like that when you're new in a job though.

 

We will have to have another meet that you and Neil can make :)

Congratulations Emily :D:thumbs::clap::groupwave::band::notworthy: (I seem to remember you don't like praise, so I thought I'd heap it on bigtime!! :thumbs::devil:

You think this lot need an excuse? :wine::gather::eat::cheers::drunk::sick:

 

How about having the meetup ever so slightly further south - that way I can join in too!! (if you'll have me!! :wacko:) I'm good at :wine::eat::cheers::drunk:

Yes Tally the station is right in the centre of town and if you hop on a Metro to Monument that's outside Waterstones which is even handier. Presume its the bigger Waterstone's shop folks.

 

If I'm going I could always meet you at the station and walk up with you. I would email you a pic of me so you know what I look like! :thumbs:

 

Is the meet open to Prodigal Daughters like me? :whistle:

Emily, well done you! :clap: So, so pleased for you.....and would love to arrange another meet up after Xmas >:D<<'> BTW, I hope you and TN don't think your escaping altogether.....I've put you both down to lead the conga at my 40th :devil::lol:

 

Mumble, wish you could make it up too :( Maybe we could arrange another Greenwich meet? :D

I've just remembered my boss is on holiday this week. I sent her a text but she doesn't turn her phone on while she's on holiday. I hope she doesn't turn it on cos she won't be very happy if she does :(

 

So I won't know until Sunday, by which time it might be too late to book cheap tickets in advance. Have to wait and see but hopefully I can make it.

Tally, I will personally escort you from the station to Waterstones...I know a shortcut :ph34r:

I still haven't had the weekend off confirmed, and now it's too late to book an advance train ticket, so I'm not going to be able to come this time :wallbash:

 

I am going to see my auntie instead though, so it won't be a wasted weekend.

 

I even found a hotel for �29.50, so I was going to stay 2 nights and explore Newcastle on my own as well! Hopefully there will be another meet-up and I can do it then.

Looks like I won't be able to make it. One of my friends is having an engagement party that day and just asked me to come. Will update you if anything changes. David.

 

Enjoy the party David...I'm sure another meet up will be organised soon :thumbs:

Didn't mean if party gets cancelled. More when I get round to looking at invite when my mind is actually working (a rarity when I'm at home at the moment) I find that they're at different times. Then would try and make both. Not sure where I put invite. Anyways better get to bed. Over did it a bit last night. Night all.

I think i can still come but might have to bring the boys too!!!! Unless its just a parent meet?

If its just a small meet i could try and get a babysitter and meet up in the evening? Has a time been mentioned yet?

So far I'm bringing J as we'll be coming straight from his guitar lesson.

 

Doesn't look as though there'll be very many of us now anyway. By my reckoning there'll be the Baggies, Something Vague, you and me. Anyone else I've missed?
