[Jedeye Sniv]

Deffo on for this one, just after payday. I shall be flush and drunken. wooooo!

btw where is shoreditch? It sounds scary

 

[Chinner]

its me on the right

 

[Mobius 1]

I was in London two weeks ago and now every other place pales in comparison.

 

[Lucius86]

IN.

Can I just say, to those who are scared in going - it's a heck of a lot of fun. As long as you are not adverse to alcohol, it's a great laugh.

And last time I got my bum bitten by a hot girl on the dance floor, and 2 gaffers pulled, so it's not all that bad.

 

[BGBW]

its me on the right

I'm liking the moves.

 

[Mikeside]

I'm in like a thing that rhymes with 'in'.

Shoreditch is in London. It's where all the bloggers and assorted hipsters hang out. Should be a giggle.

You and I are going to do battle on the 1st. I live in Hackney now since last Saturday, the home of hipsters.

Spoiler

I'm not hipster

 

[Chinner]

thanks i play a lot of ddr

 

[slider]

Ten Bells is always a classic. I haven't been to Hoxton Square in a while but there used to be some trendy (to my uncool eyes), bars that way.

Plus who's the dude who has a Steve in his name? If you tell him there used to be a JKD/Bob Breen gym in Hoxton Square he might come along!

Spoiler

But don't mention that it moved a few years ago...

Caveat: I'm not sure if Ten Bells and Hoxton Square count as Shoreditch though.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

You wish you had moves like that.

I had friends who lived in Hackney while they were at uni. They kept insisting what an 'up and coming' area it was. Has it come up yet?

In that case we are far too chunky to be in a place filled with hipsters

 

[Mikeside]

Hmm... We'll need a devious plan to get into these clubs.

 

[BGBW]

Well the one machine left in Trocadero is a DDR machine so you should show us just how good you are.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

I think massive glasses. And maybe a cravat.

 

[Mr Cola]

Im not an alcohol drinker but this event intrigues me, is that non alcohol thing going to be an issue and also for people outside of london what sort of accomodation do yall usually get?

 

[Lucius86]

It's getting there. I now live by London Fields, and the hipsters aside it's actually a really decent area. But as is always the case in London, move half a mile in either direction and you can end up in a rather dodgy area.

Not at all. As long as you are comfortable with other people drinking, you will be fine!

 

[Bazza]

gonna try and make this one pretty sure i have no plans around the start of December.

4 years of no alcohol at uni has taught me to be pretty good with it ;D, damn drugs im on you see.

 

[SKINNER!]

That Serj t-shirt is pretty neat!

Really wish I could make it to this one London Meetup V for sure though!

To people who are hesitant on going: just go! seriously! I can assure you that you will not only have fun but meet the smartest, funniest and friendliest people in London.

I'll probably have a drink or two but I won't be getting hammered. Unless there's a few rounds of shots or something, then it's anybody's guess.

I think I'll end up getting the last train back or the first train in the morning. I dunno, probably not worth booking a hotel room as I live so close.

We could always split a room if you fancy it? last train home is a bit early for my tastes, especially if we're not in the centre of town and will have to tube it back to waterloo. Either that or we can see how many folks fancy being hardcore - club till 4, cafe till 6. it can be done.

EDIT: there are always rounds of shots

when do these things usually end?

 

[BGBW]

They end when the last few people decide to call it a day, but you're free to leave whenever you need to.

 

[Bazza]

Im only an hour from london but would probably stay up there, last train for me is 23.45.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

An hour in what direction?

Yeah last train home would probably blow, come to think of it.

If splitting a room isn't too expensive then I'm good for that or early train if not.

Ugh, shots. WHY CAN I NEVER SAY NO TO YOU?! I think it's because they're so tiny and harmless looking.

ooooh *flicks wrist*

 

[blahblah...blah]

No. And it won't within the next 10 years!

 

[Mikeside]

ooooh *flicks wrist*

Sorry, Chinner.
We all know you and Kentpaul are going to be the first of UK GAF to liquify your love all over each other's faces and chests.

 

[Bazza]

An hour in what direction?

The train i would get back would go to Portsmouth, live halfway between Portsmouth and London in Haslemere.

 

[Darren870]

As of now I can't make this one. Sorry guys.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

The train i would get back would go to Portsmouth, live halfway between Portsmouth and London in Haslemere.

Oh you're not too far from us then, me and Mike are from surrey way too. If you wanna stay out hardcore with us or whatever we end up doing you're more than welcome.

How about a hostel? I've always wanted to see one but have never had cause to. Or do you have to be in by some stupid time? We just need somewhere to cadge between 2 and 6 really don't we?

 

[Mikeside]

That's pretty close to me - I'd be going back to Ash Vale, next to Aldershot. Last train will probably be midnightish? Not sure to be honest.

Last time i went to London me and my mates hit the jager bombs about 11pm, i ended up sleeping outside somewhere, great days.

Dont have any time i have to be back, only work in the week so weekends im free to do as i please.

Yeah a hostel would be fine for me - more the merrier if anyone else ends up staying.

 

[Scythian Empire]

Gonna try and make it to this one. I live in New Cross, so getting to anywhere in Central is easy peasy.

 

[Spookie]

The thought of me drunk in London terrifies me. That said I'll see how much money at the end of the month.

 

[CyclopsRock]

I'll come! I live in Clerkenwell, so it's only a ~20 minute walk up old street.

 

[Mikeside]

The thought of me drunk in London terrifies me. That said I'll see how much money at the end of the month.

Ohhh yes! You absolutely have to come down for this.

You'll end up in a ditch and nobody will help you.

 

[Mikeside]

Go to London! I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway.

I live here. I've been to 2 of the meet ups!

 

[Chinner]

can we go to fabric

It's an Alan Partridge quote

 

[SteveWD40]

Slot me in as a possible, since I have been so crap at sticking to plans this year. Should be ok though...

 

[Lucius86]

can we go to fabric

I vote Reflex for the cocktail glasses alone personally.

Spoiler

Okay, maybe not twice

I haven't been to Fabric in ages, but the last memory I have of that place is it being expensive. That's it.

 

[eggybob]

Shoreditch or Camden.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

At least I know where camden is.
