Sophelia Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 For me the two are about equally likely - or unlikely. Probably about a 40% chance for me - I won't know for a while yet and it will depend on workload and finances. If I can make it I would prefer Barcelona - will be something different, warmer, and an escape from everything therefore complete relaxation. I'm a Londoner and not particularly fond of London - I find the place stressful and depressing (though I love the people of London, the food and museums). Plus it would be a bit awkward for me to visit London and not stay with my mother, which would somewhat curtail my enjoyment of any BwB activities (I would have to be back fairly early at night because she has ME) - though I could probably stay over somewhere else for a night. I also have a lot of other friends in London who I owe visits, so it would not be a pure BwB thing for me. Given that at the moment I'm not sure I'd be able to take time off work (it's in termtime), and I'm a bit broke, don't place too much importance on my preferences.

Ser Barry Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ten, just show him the pictures of Zollo and Zak snogging and he might want to come himself London, definite (duh!) Barcelona, possible I would like to add that London smells and I would prefer Barcelona but might not be able to make it there. Also, if London to coincide with Ser Stubby, he is only around from 1st to 3rd May which is Monday to Wednesday but the Monday is a Bank Holiday.

Padraig Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Reminds me that I had great problems getting Bahrain redesignated as a Middle East destination on our database at work. Up to then it insisted that it was American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman of the North Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Reminds me that I had great problems getting Bahrain redesignated as a Middle East destination on our database at work.

Filippa Eilhart Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm a definite for both, as I said. Reminds me that I had great problems getting Bahrain redesignated as a Middle East destination on our database at work. Up to then it insisted that it was American. At least your system knew it existed somewhere. My dad was sending a parcel for me to Lux, and the ladies at the post office claimed there is no such country and he should write it's Germany.

Lyanna Stark Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 London would be simpler for me too. Put me as a Probable for both. Barcelona: Probable London: Probable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zollo Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Saying 'definite' for either might bite me in the ass later on, but lets say that I'll try my best to attend either. Personally I'd rather go to Barcelona. Mainly because I haven't seen that city yet and because I'd planned to do some birdwatching in the nearby Llobregat delta at the same time. Nonetheless, I wouldn't want to miss out on a big party either, so in that sense I'd rate London over Barcelona (seeing as how the fomer is favoured by most).

Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Eh, last time around I would have said Edinburgh was a definite, so I'm not committing outright to anything just yet. But I'm probable for London and possible for Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I should be probable for London too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Thanks for the list Filippa! I too would love to see Barcelona but a lot more can make London it seems. Which is what seemed to suggested in Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenalpia Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I definitely couldn't manage Barcelona There is a very slight chance - if I am feeling better, if I am rich and if my husband is very understanding - that I could make London... Husband is being very understanding...now I just need to get better and get rich...not much of challenge there then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltaran Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm going to say London probable and Barca unlikely, at least if I want to go to LA in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm - Rangers have a habit of managing last minute miracles - don't count your chickens yet, Jambo ! The cash is nearly always doable - that's what they invented credit cards for isn't it ? Got a few possibles for 'the cure', so I'll keep you posted to let you know if any of these so called 'miracles' work Thanks for keeping the fingers crossed Ser V, I'll need it if previous claims of 'cures' are anything to go by. Anyone out there looking for a quick buck - just claim you have a cure for cfs/me, charge a fortune for it and all us poor desperate fools will come running... :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuthaHydra / Lord Jo Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Haha , didn`t tell me about this one Pod . There is no escape ... Thing is my birthday is 8th of May , and it`s my 29th so I better get some training in for the big one next year . I`ve been initiated into several wyrd groups of people , so bring it on , what you got and can I bring my sword ? I`d be happy in London or Barcelona ( as a big appreciator of Gaudi`s work ) . Any ideas on costs ? Depends how much beer I drink I suppose ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
