What is the dress code like in these places Musha? Will shoes be necessary, or are smart trainers fine?

I don't want to mess about bringing extra footwear if it's not needed, I'm only bringing a rucksack.

I've checked the website and it says nothing about dress code so smart trainers should be fine
 
How will those of us who haven't met in real life identify each other?

I don't want an awkward situation where I go up to a group of youths in regents park and ask if they're from neogaf and get told to fuck off
assuming that won't happen anyway

Wear a sandwich board reading, "Hi BritGAF chums!" and wave manically at passers by until you hit lucky.

Good news on the dress code musha, trainers are much better to boogie in!

We usually just shout "Gaf!!!"

Pm me if you want my number for easier meeting up - that goes for anyone joining us
 
Just to be clear Mike, you are meeting me, shorty and deaf Spacker at kings cross at midday right?

Tash has it in his head that you're meeting him at Waterloo.

Also, pm me your mobile please fella.

heh this is true. My first meet I was walking about in a busy area looking for a gangly collection of neckbeards, pale skin and animu pillows when I just hear "GAF!" shouted not 5 metres from me and I first met the handsome and well adjusted devils that comprise southernGAF. They were surprised that it worked, I was glad they did it.

Tell you guys wat, I could meet Tash at Waterloo at 12 and then we could all meet somewhere in the middle?

Oh, you're going to be there too?

Forget it then.

Sounds like a plan geez! :)

Tash, get your ass in here and confirm some of these plans. We are working around you here buddy boy!
 
As Northern Gaf am I obliged to shout "EY OOP GAF REET"?

My Dress code:

Ooh, depends on times! When is DS getting to Waterloo? Will meet there and join you guys after if times clash
 
Let's be honest, once we're all in London, we aren't going to be more than 20 mins, half an hour on the underground from each other.

Let's all just aim to be near the closest underground station around midday, then we can take it from there. No matter how much organising we do, we're never going to get 5 or 6 people travelling from all over the country to arrive in the same spot at the same time.

True dat.

Anyone who isn't meeting at Waterloo or King's Cross at 12 should probably just aim for Regents Park or check this thread for details.

Again, pm for my number if needed and I'll be available to help get everyone in the right place

If we were German we could. Those does are efficient.
 
I think I might win the prize for coming the furthest for a gaf meet.

I'll be flying in from Spain
after my holiday
on the saturday afternoon. Unfortunately I wont be making it to the day stuff, but I'll be sure to get down for the evening stuff.

Borderline sounds great. I really doubt there will be any kind of a dresscode there. More of a t-shirt, jeans and trainers kind of place.
 
I did an internets forum meet up thing in 2006 or something, I figure I have done my bit for online / offline interaction.

Besides I'm a bit past it (old), and moody to chill with you young whipper-snappers.
 
Kind of nervous about going to meet a bunch of people I barely know... Though somewhat excited at the same time.

I'm usually pretty good at meetups, but I'm always afraid I'll end up being a boring mute (though I never do; quite the opposite).
 
Right, going to do my best to stay out later than pub-time this time! Borderline looks great, plus I can walk home so I have no excuses there!

Edit: I just read back and saw a few considering a hotel in Angel? I live over that way, I'm happy to guide anyone back over there if they need it.

Past it? PPffft, we've got plenty of 30somethings coming along, I'm sure you'd be in good company!
 
I'm now not a definite, I've had to buy new glasses after breaking a pair during the week and I'm back in my overdraft, two days after getting paid :/

However I will persevere and keep you guys updated!

Does anybody want to buy a kidney?

Noooooo - send back your SSD and come hang with your britgaf buddies
 
If I could afford to make it down from the glorious lands of the north I most certainly would join thee for the merriment. I've never been to London before either so it would be an experience to say the least. Have a great time guys and I'll hopefully be down for xmas!

I'm not giving up, I'll know more once my payments clear.

OK buddy - good luck to your wallet!

Awesome - there'll definitely be more meetups in the future to attend (unless somebody sparks a massive row this time, splitting the whole group up forever)

Holy fuck, there is an Xmas LDN meet too? That should be fun!
 
PrematureQuiche said:
I am a maybe to this. If I am well enough and have enough money I shall come out.

Blame Mikeside for making me come :P May not stay out all night though.
Click to expand...

Yeah!!! Would be really awesome if you come along, man.
Though it's weird that you live about 5 minutes from me but this will be the first time I meet you :P
 
shorty_symd said:
Yeah, looks really good too. Curious to see what Borderline is like. Is it like a live music dancefloor kinda place or just a rock nightclub?
Click to expand...

It's like an indie/rock nightclub from 1994 ie not too pricey drinks, sticky floor and a slight stench of stale booze and/or sick.
