I'll come if it's in London, might not be able to swing it if it's too far afield. Funny, I was thinking about this just this morning... :) . I'm not too fussy on dates.
 
How come you guys always get the meet ups? I bet your meet up will be successful, too. Punks. ;)

There is never a meet up in NJ, where many could attend.

Being an English speaking country, and a very developed country with high standards of living it is normal that there are LOTS of Internet users from there.

Since it's in Europe and here everything is crowded and especially in Britain it's very packed together, they don't have to travel much to meet.

Of course, the conditions I stated in the first paragraph match the ones in the US or Australia for example, but those are simply way too big and spread out to have an organized meeting. :)



There has been an attempt at a South-Eastern meet-up too, but apparently there were only about 3-4 people interested in total... which is really far from enough.
 
NJ is heavily crowded, my friend. Also, New York and Eastern PA are right there.

I know that. I was talking about "country-wide" meetings. :) Also, I've seen lots and lots of members from England, and though i know there are of course many big cities in the US, I've never seen as many members from any city as from the whole of the UK.

Because it's a great British tradition to complain about the transportation service, and given that we have many people coming from across the UK, it makes for a fantastic get together.

We also like to complain about the weather, which is why we hold it in Winter.
 
We can have a meet up in St. Louis and it will be twice as good as yours!
We'll have hookers and blackjack! Infact, forget the meet-up! /poor futurama reference.
 
Hold the meet up in Bath and go door to door until you find Chukchi Husky! ;)
 
We should have a DC meeting, except with more people this year, and no getting late on Metro and picking up Hispanic chicks.

He won't be in a house. He will be running around and play fighting with some of his wolf friends. It shouldn't be hard to find him in Bath. Not many English would do that, especially during tea time.

This was the problem last time. Who wants to go to DC? :p

St. Louis is definently the way to go. Close to home!

I was thinking geographically speaking for North America, but if it benefits Godwynn, then it surely must be the right place :mischief:.
Heh. I probably wouldn't be able to go anyway, I'm East Coast. Maybe we could set up a video conference. Call it #fiftyvideochat.
 
Put it in St. Louis, that way I can't show up and kill the party. :lol:

Seems like there's more interest in the Americans than the British. But maybe those on the other side of that tiny pond haven't gotten up yet.
 
I'd love to come but I'm currently in Switzerland
