Oh, I was wondering if I should post something - dunno if Cougar wants to continue his usual organising duties.

4th, 11th or 18th are the possible Saturdays in December this year (well, I don't want to do a meetup on Christmas day personally;)). We're spoiled for choice this year, in that the Christmas markets start up in November, and there aren't any significant football matches on any of those days, so we don't need to worry about it being extra busy - just the normal level of insanely busy it usually is.

I'd vote for the 4th personally, just because the earlier it is, the easier it is to get the day off work, but I'm sure the other dates might still be do-able, so it's up to others when they are available!

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Depending on dates the train down is reasonable. But it should be noted that I am a remarkably popular man and my calendar is quite busy

I think I'm good for those days, but I shall have to see. I think my office Christmas Party/Piss Up is on the 3rd, so I might be epically hungover on the 4th....

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Earlier is better for us - the closer to Midwinter it gets, the more difficult it will be for us to attend.

My work thing is the 17th I think, so I will be fucking slaughtered and puking my sorry little guts up on the 18th. Accordingly, avoid the 18th.

The other two don't ring any alarm bells atm, so go for one of them.

Hm, perhaps I might even be able to sneak this into my schedule then. Last exam of my life is on the 28th of November after all

how can it be in Manchester? Don't you all live in Canada and USA and other parts of the world with a few in England? Hetan where are you at?

Actually it's opposite to that, many of 'em live in England with a scattering of others in North America and Aussieland.

I actually came on the site specially to post this up having promised Hetan I'd do it weeks ago, it usually falls to me to get this thing off the ground, sorry if I've been remiss.

11th is the only day I can do, 4th and 18th are right out.

I should be able to do daytime on the 11th. I will have to excuse myself in the evening for a work do, but that probably won't even go on too late, so I might even make it back up again by the time we end up in Fab Cafe.
