MuthaHydra / Lord Jo Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Do military sabres count? I figure fencing swords won't. (Though the fencing swords would give me the unfair advantage.)Everything counts and there are no rules - well done for defending your husband - but I'm pretty sure I would have you pet ... :) For what it's worth - I would feel bad afterwards - for a bit ... :)It seems such a shame ( not to mention a bit silly ) to split the do like this. With respect to Montaingoat and anyone else who genuinely cannot make the friday - I think we should all make an effort to pull together - to enjoy each other's company and raise money for our future events. As such - if anyone has prizes that they can donate to the raffle - attending or not, please contact me - and let's think outside the box in terms of prizes. For instance, I will be donating a 90 minute film combat class to be held at the winner and my next convinience ( Eastercon/ Chicon/ Semana Negra or over skype in extreme circumstances ).So please take my good natured appeal as it was intended and let's get into not only the spirit of the BWB but also of all that is festive and Yuley y/y ?ETA - me speaking my mind in good spirits :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Everything counts and there are no rules - well done for defending your husband - but I'm pretty sure I would have you pet ... :) For what it's worth - I would feel bad afterwards - for a bit ... :)It seems such a shame ( not to mention a bit silly ) to split the do like this.What's this no rules thing? There are plenty of rules, and I don't intend to tell you any of them, or stick lame to my foil mask bib. :PAnd I agree that it's a pity to split the do, but when we've had two dates proposed and certain people simply can't make one or the other, the only solution would be finding another date, leaving half the people out, or splitting the do. I refer you to Sean not being able to do that crucial week except 16th, and all the people who can't do 16th itself. The only options for a full group meet therefore aren't in that week. 7th? 19th?

williamjm Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The only options for a full group meet therefore aren't in that week. 7th? 19th?I suspect it just wouldn't be possible to find a date for a full group meet, it would be hard enough normally, but especially hard in December, Isis' suggestion seems to be the best option.Maybe we should have another meet sometime in the New Year when people's schedules are probably less hectic?

Arataniello Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I will be there in spirit (having made a token appearance at a previous Londonpalooza). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 It would be nice if every single one of us could make it out on the same date but we've all just demonstrated that it's not possible at short notice though, i.e.this side of Christmas. The date for the festive bwb meet (i.e. the one I started this thread to arrange) was set when I asked people to vote and then tallied the votes. We're not going to, at this point, start trying to pick a different date for this event. It's done. By all means feel free to organise additional merry gatherings and let us know what you have planned. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Stick to the Friday. I can live with the disappointment and like BillyJ said New Year will be less hectic for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 in advance, as (new) friends if anyone suggests a club and i seem remotely likely to say yes, please point me in the direction of the nearest tube, i have to be up at 0445 the next day and i am ever so weak when it comes to alcohol!

Chaldanya Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 in advance, as (new) friends if anyone suggests a club and i seem remotely likely to say yes, please point me in the direction of the nearest tube, i have to be up at 0445 the next day and i am ever so weak when it comes to alcohol!You'll be missing out on the best bits. After 1030 one of us gets it into our head to go to a bar up by Marble Arch and that's when the fun really starts...Just go straight from the bar to work - I don't see what can possibly go wrong. :)N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well, let's be sure to stock up on sleep before then so that we (well, ok, me) don't need to cry off and leave the pub to rush home and get into our PJs when it gets to 9pm.

Hamster of Doom Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Sadly, have office Christmas dinner on Friday 16th - but if you're meeting somewhere Covent Garden/Bloomsbury-ish I could join you late (and tipsy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yes, we'll be doing exactly that so no excuses, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Sean Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Right, apologies for being shockingly shite at sorting the pub out. I will get on it right now.I would rather avoid the Porter House as long as everyone isn't completely adamant it's the place to go because I despise the place and all it stands for. Other than that it's ok. :)Watch this space!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going for the 16th.I'll be upset if you come in anything other than a Trek uniform. I'd wear mine but it wouldn't go on my left arm these days.Lets just save the Quiang for another time or I know I'll end up impaled somehow!!

Liffguard Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hopefully I'll be able to make it. I've only been to one BWB meeting before and it ended in hilarity and awkwardness, so another sounds fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
