Tally Report post Posted July 28, 2008 I'm sorry to hear that Neil! I kind of guessed, but I was worried I would upset you if I asked. It's always best not to go into details publicly, even if it was amicable. Anyway, I'm really sorry it didn't work out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted July 29, 2008 I bought my train tickets today so I'm definitely coming (that is if I don't instantaneously freeze on passing through the Watford Gap dividing wall). :lol: I should be a perfect wreck by the time I get there - it seems that 'a window seat on my own in the quiet carriage' is asking for too much so instead I have an aisle seat with a group of three not in the quiet carriage ... :unsure: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Mumble, could you do one of your alphabetty rainbow guest lists pleeeeeease? They look so priddy. Well last time I did one, I was quizzed by more than one member as to what secret code the different colours concealed ... (if you haven't worked it out yet, keep scratching those brain cells ) So a much easier coded system this time, but still in alphabetical order (of course ) So it's: NRM, York, Saturday 9th August, 11am ASue67 ASue67 Littlie 1 ASue67 Littlie 2 DMB JP Karen T Karen T's J Mumble Pearl TheNeil Someone else who has been there will need to be organised on the day - else I'll be getting off the train and thinking, ahh, trains, building, must be the railway museum :lol: What did we decide about food? - I'd rather just get something there (I think someone mentioned cake ... ) than have to do thinking about food at the ridiculous time I'm having to leave in order to penetrate the 4th dimension and drop into the Northern Plane. No, I don't know what I'm talking about either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Why are you green? Is it with envy that we live in the North and you don't? I think some are bringing food & some are eating in the cafe at the museum, so there will be someone to eat lunch with whatever you do. We havent decided yet. What time does your train get in? Ours gets in at 10:20 so we could meet you there if you like, then get lost together trying to find the museum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNeil Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Why are you green? Is it with envy that we live in the North and you don't? I think it's because she's the condemned woman and it's kind of like The Green Mile (or something) I don't mind meeting people at the station (being a kind of 'local') and helping them get lost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Why are you green? Is it with envy that we live in the North and you don't? Ha. Ha. Ha. The question is, why are you all grey ... I was going to do black, it would have been more accurate, but that was then indistinguishable from the rest of the text. :ph34r: (aha - remember that discussion of what this emoticon was - it's Northerners with coal faces!!! ) What time does your train get in? Ours gets in at 10:20 so we could meet you there if you like, then get lost together trying to find the museum! 9:57am And it's the only train, so if it doesn't run I won't be there (shhh, I heard the ) (it's not literally the only train (else there would be no museum ... or maybe that's why there aren't any trains. Actually, I've just seen the solution to over-crowding on Britain's railways - I think most people would sacrifice the NRM and the London Transport Museum for more trains and more seats ... ), it's the only train running the route I'm taking to save money ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karen You will be fine hon!!!! I hate driving thru strange places when it is busy too so you are not the only one!!! Shall we meet by the car park or somewhere else (not sure what the arrangement is for meeting up yet?)? Can txt you or ring you on mob to let you know when we are there!!!

CEJesson Report post Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) May I ask what we shall be doing on this meet? I cant commit to anything yet as my parents will have to give me a lift to railway stations etc, but it would be great if I can go. If I came along York would be easier for me - its 1 hour up the East Coast Main Line. Edit: Just read through more of this thread to see what we shall be doing, however if there is anything else let me know:) Edited August 2, 2008 by CEJesson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted August 4, 2008 May I ask what we shall be doing on this meet? Just what's on this thread - Northerners just ain't as organised as us Southerners and our Greenwich Meet If it's dry (yeah right, like it's ever dry in the North ), meeting outside the National Railway museum at 11am, if it's wet, meeting inside the National Railway Museum at 11am. I don't know how we're identifying ourselves, I know Pearl, JP and DMB but that's it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted August 6, 2008 No one's added much to this thread recently I'm assuming it's still going ahead? Whatever happens, I shall be in York on Saturday as I bought my train tickets in advance, and if no one else is there I'm sure I can find tea, cake and shopping - I can't think what else I would need The York weather forecast is horrendous for Saturday (from a Southern perspective - I assume you Northerners would call it 'normal' or even 'balmy') - Heavy rain, poor visibility and cold (for the south) I assume that means the meet-up will be inside, although I may try and remember to bring an umbrella (you see us Southerners don't really get this need to protect from the elephants thing ... ) Can we have a show of hands as to who is still going, or are you all chickening out? Pearl (& old JP) are you coming still? Haven't seen DMB around for a while - anyone know if he's coming? Other people? :unsure: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Yes, we have bought our train tickets too! According to long range forecast its not supposed to be too bad on sat so dont despair. So I presume its outside/just inside the place according to the weather? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I presume its outside/just inside the place according to the weather? Yep - looking forward to meeting you and JP again. You appeared to be fairly sane ( <'> ), so I'm hoping you will protect me from all the strange Northerners Are you booked on a train going home? Mine isn't until late (well 7:16pm - it was much cheaper that way) so I was hoping to find somewhere in York (preferable with tea and cake ) to hang around until then, as I'm assuming most people will be going home sooner.

TheNeil Report post Posted August 6, 2008 I'm still coming (sorry - I tried but nothing else came up in my busy(?) social schedule so you're stuck with me) Don't worry about the weather forecast. Yesterday the forecast was for blazing sunshine, now it's for showers. In truth it's all a cinspiracy to make you southern types think that it rains up here all the time so that you don't come along and clutter the place up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
