Saving For a Space Ship Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Enjoy yourselves! Too far for me to come, and I've tried before. How about a concerted effort to have the next one in the midlands / north of England soon as this London-centric meeting thing is becoming a bit more than a joke.

Marina Report post Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Are the lot at the other place coming for a punch-up? Now that would be a laugh. You can't raise a placard or a protest email between you but .... 'Two rival gangs from house price crash web sites clashed last night in the streets of London. One group accused of 'selling out' by the other group were ambushed in the toilets of the bar they were holding their AGM in. The melee spilled out into the streets and soon the violence was enough to warrant summoning the riot police. Every single one of the trouble makers was rounded up and taken to Bow Street Station to appear before magistrates this morning. A journalist at the scene asked several people what the fighting was all about ...' A total of 7 arrests were made.

RichM Report post Posted June 26, 2006 WM, I've got Dave and his rottweilers coming down for security. Should I get Ron as well or is that overkill? I think he's calmer now he's had the counselling; obviously we don't want a repeat of the bayonet incident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well seeing as TTRTR has defecated to the other side - maybe he'll bring a few hard 'throw the tenants out without any hassle' mates along. Good on him.

Saving For a Space Ship Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Feel free to organise a Midlands/North pub meet. Thanks for the support, but I'm a bit busy at the moment & its probably best left to someone with better organisational skills. Happy to attend & support one though.

Saving For a Space Ship Report post Posted June 27, 2006 All you have to do is nominate a place and a time. If no-one pitches... so what. I think a north meet needs to be in a big city like Manchester or Birmingham to attract more folks, so would be best organised by someone from one of these places. I'm in Chester ( after 13 years in London), which is a bit out of the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killer Bunny Report post Posted June 27, 2006 Webmaster - really good night. Many thanks for setting up and thanks to the powers that be for the great (high fat) and incredibly moreish food. Brad was classic fp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReubenH Report post Posted June 27, 2006 Yes, many thanks for organising that! It was good fun. My only suggestion for a future one would be "not Monday". Who was Brad? Don't remember him... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Report post Posted June 27, 2006 Yes, many thanks for organising that! It was good fun. My only suggestion for a future one would be "not Monday". Who was Brad? Don't remember him... Brad left after 40mins or so. Just after he told me to pile every penny into property. He will get 50% returns. That the housing market, consumer economy is like a perpetual motion machine. A little flawed in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

underpressuretobuy Report post Posted June 27, 2006 did you find another pub/club in the end and how long did you stay out for? Did I say I was going to go on to another pub? That's as bad as saying "I've got a bottle of tequila round here somewhere" - a sure sign that you've had too much to drink. I didn't though, no.
