As for the time, it would be 10am or 11am, depending on your suggestions.

Hi Oj , for me & maybe those who need to travel from anywhere outside London, the later time of 11am would be a better option as its approx 90 minuits journey from birmingham by either train, coach or car, going at a steady rate (thats assuming there's no slight delays on the motorways or rail lines.)

Why not? Who holds you back from attending? I, personally, may have been a bit harsh on you in the past and perhaps a bit unsympathetic, but believe me I'm just as socially awkward as I imagine you are. And I don't bite, I promise you most likely non of us coming will. In fact, I kind of like you the way you are. It would be very nice if we could meet in person. It'd be enough to just be yourself, no one will judge you. If so, why care? You are a person too, don't be bothered by other people's faults. Anyway, learn to rebut them, sometimes taking up conflicts is better than retreat.

I see you didn't mean disrespect but it's also true sometimes it's better to just hold back your opinion, for your own good. This way people will respect you more, try and see it for yourself.

I normally do hold back my opinion, but this time I obviously didn't. It's just that where I live I have to get on trains, which is not like just jumping on a familiar bus to a familiar destination, or somewhere nearby. I don't even like going to London with my family because it's just too busy and big for me and the trains are always breaking down.

Hope you all have a good time.

Which train line is it? Trains are usually quite reliable. Certainly more reliable than buses.

It's code for "I haven't got the stomach, the ability or the will to turn up".

It sounds like you prefer to be left alone in your pen eating clumps of bamboo *

With the greatest of respect to you Joe90 , why bother replying to this thread if you're not interested in attending ? ...

If there's a meet up in Scotland, should I reply as to announce I wont be going because of the distance factor or any other reason ?

Btw, I would've attended the London meet up in march , but I could'nt as my car had a major mechanical breakdown.

Yes, I don't get that either. I think it's peoples' way of saying that they still feel they're missing out in some way.

I think you may be on to somethng their :wink:

I wish I still lived in Reading I'd totally be there for the meet up, Sadly I can't mostly because it's over 100 pound for a one way train to london from Edinbrough. But out of curiousity . . . Why aren't there any famous pubs on the list. . I mean I don't know any but it's like a Meet up in dublin with out the option of the Templebar.

You know what they say Alcohol is liquid courage, and makes ya socialy brave.

It's bloody dear in Dublin. I'd go for the Porterhouse though if I were there again.

If you book 3 months in advance you can get a train ticket single from Edinburgh to London for under £15. You need to subscribe to the train operator's mailing list so you know when they deal them out. A bit too late for this time, but decent enough info to know for the future.
