Lets have an iamcal party. Come on everyone you know you want to! Yeah with cakes and and things
(Note: My desire to have a party may or may not be connected to my desire to get off with Redmaiden)

chandler, 17:12, 18th March 2003:
right the way I see it: we can have pizza hut food and Chris can get us a discount.
Now does anyone own a hotel or know one that would give us special rates?

The most central place in the UK is probably Birmingham...

london might be better - lots of us are in/around london
Posted by
plindoe, 18:03, 18th March 2003:
...but its SOOOOO expensive!
Posted by
chandler, 19:43, 18th March 2003:
yes the most central place in the UK is my house. seeing as I am the centre of the universe.
lots of people are in Bedford and the midlands. London is expensive. Hmmmm. We should try and sort something out though. It would be cooool
Posted by
Gary, 19:48, 18th March 2003:
Somewhere in the Midlands would be excellent as it's smack bang in the middle of everywhere else... and I wouldn't have to travel far either! :)

Exactly! Unfortunetly, having it at my house is out of the question. :(
Posted by
Gary, 19:51, 18th March 2003:
I say we should all make a holiday out of it - and have it at Desi's place in the USA sometime in the summer! :)
Posted by
chandler, 20:02, 18th March 2003:
yah!!!
Posted by

the exact centre of england

yes thats true!!

Looks like its big enough for all of us
Posted by
chandler, 20:37, 18th March 2003:
:)
How about a nice trip up to sunny Edinburgh?
Or Glasgow? but insaying that, Edinburgh is cheaper for hotels, B&B's etc
oh, and the pubs are open til at least 3pm..not like in England !
We could have it at the whorehouse!!!
Posted by
cal, 11:06, 19th March 2003:
jess's?
Posted by
cal, 11:08, 19th March 2003:
is what serious?
Although it sounds like a good idea, i remember past cases of Iamcal parties falling through like a papier mache floorboard, (hiring timmy mallet anyone?)
And if its only about getting reddy and chay together for horizontal activities then both of them going to edinburgh makes little sense.
Posted by
cal, 11:11, 19th March 2003:
there has only been one meet up planned to the extent of actually choosing a date location. there were a whopping 4 of us, due to a bunch of annoying disasters. but still, it wasn't just me on my own :)
Posted by
chandler, 11:12, 19th March 2003:
well i remember the hiring timmy mallet plan. but that was obviously not going to happen
no, my whorehouse. i live in a brothel, innit.
Posted by
cal, 11:16, 19th March 2003:
ahh, cool
If everyone is serious about meeting for a booze up then cool...
jess's house isn't a real whorehouse, it just wants to be one.
Posted by
cal, 11:21, 19th March 2003:
i think it would more be a meet in a pub, rather than a "party"
fine...but the question now is where?
Posted by
Rosie, 11:34, 19th March 2003:
I'm well up for this! How cool would it be to meet everyone!?!
:)
London's good for me (not too far and that)
Hmm, London! the city of £4 pints...and the pubs close at 11pm! Yeah great idea..
We should all get 2 litre bottles of white lightning, meet up in Leicester Square, neck said drink and spin around until we're dizzy. Cos it gets you pissed quick. Apparently.
Posted by
cal, 11:53, 19th March 2003:
"
the city of £4 pints"
we do have normal pubs too :/
"
and the pubs close at 11pm!"
err, that's not just london :/
Cal, never been to a pub in London where the pints were a decent price, plus in Scotland the pubs stay open as long as possible...sorry, im not trying to diss London.
Posted by
cal, 11:57, 19th March 2003:
depends what you call decent. and as for the time, that's not just london, it's england in general. and since we wont be leaving the country, it's a fairly moot point
fair enough, cant argue with that.
Posted by
chandler, 12:04, 19th March 2003:
thats why a private party is cool
Posted by
Grim..., 12:18, 19th March 2003:
Where do you suggest this private party is, Chay?
Your mansion?
Posted by
chandler, 12:20, 19th March 2003:
maybe. if we have it in june or july then the pool should be warm enough
Posted by
beargod, 12:33, 19th March 2003:
Chay does have a big house and garden
It sounds a good idea to me.
Although Chays village seems to pleasant and quiet for a party so it should be there
we could have it in my pants.

Posted by

here is a plan...
drive to Harwich which is on the east coast, ferry to hook of Holland (dirt cheap) drive half an hour to the dam,park up, have it, return next day
Posted by
chandler, 12:53, 19th March 2003:
yeah. or just fly to amsterdam for like £30 on easy jet.
Posted by
beargod, 12:53, 19th March 2003:
Shouldn't that be "HAVE IT!" Or maybe "GIVE IT SOME!"

sorry
HAVE IT!!

easyjet isn't cheap anymore which sucks a whole lot

the whole of london doesnt just shut down at 11pm.. there's plenty of late licened bars.. take a look at
Itchy London guide for examples. There's late bars in leicester too, but none of you are coming anywhere near my house (apart from arsepuppy who practically lives here but thats different)... besides, there's not enough room in the gimp room for you all.

To be honest, how many people would come along to this party?
I would if it was in a place I could get to easily at a time when I can make it.
Posted by

me
If I were there I would go no matter the cost. Ya'll can come to the USA anytime and stay with me. I'll make sure you have an excellent time.
In fact, i dont know where everyone stays. Where is easiest for us all to meet? Sorry Nov, but America is rather far away :o(

It didn't cos if you find the definition of to, then compare it to too then add both of them to that sentence, then only too makes sense :D

Even if you did understand what I was trying to say.
I don't understand what you are trying to say now.

I am gonna buy a new dress for the occassion.
Someone decide.
tonight at my place baby ;)
Posted by
beargod, 15:42, 19th March 2003:
Why am I? I know what I am trying to say and it is disagreeing with you about it working, cos what i put originally was 'to right', rather then 'too right' which by definition mean completly different things, so having 'to right', meaning to go right or to the right (to right on its own doesn't make sense), will mean that my sentance did not make sense which leaves me to conclude that your statement of ' like you did with that post beargod' wrong.
Posted by
chandler, 15:44, 19th March 2003:
to right DID make sense cos when you SAY IT is sounds the same as TOO RIGHT so it does make sense. just not grammatical snse. You changed it to IMPROVE it. it still made sense before that. You took my post that was funny and just made the rest of it DULL with your pedantry.

It's a Chrimbo prezzie, and he's buying it through the IT department at his work, so I get a better one for the same money as I would have otherwise.
He's also slack, as well as a bit random, hence the timing of it's arrival.
Did this party ever happen?

the london members of iamcal meet in a pub.. in london.
Can't be that hard really can it?
