Posted June 21, 2011 How many people were there last year? Does anyone remember? Seems like this year will be a pretty big gathering, if all those people on the list actually show up. =P Like Rummy said, any idea when it will be starting? I do hope they don't have that cycling thing going on this year, or whatever it was. Made things a bit annoying with the helicopter heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 I'm definitely going to be there this year, and gonna try to stay sober until the evening =p. I don't think the cycling thing will be there this year. Wasn't last years meet on a different date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can count on me being there, i decided that work or not i shall be there. Hopefully no cycling peeps this year, or annoying helecopters .......or ginger kids attempting to make friends with his football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 Good to hear you're coming down bro I'm going to aim to be there fairly early - like 9am-10am to get some quality general chit-chat under way. I'll probably leave at some sort of sensible time because I can't be arsed to commit money to staying anywhere just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 I won't be getting there until about 1-2PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 I'll be getting there asap really, probs with Zell! What did everyone do last year and how long can I expect it to go on for? Pretty excited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 I'll probably be there reasonably early to get the most out of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 I'll probably be there reasonably early to get the most out of the day. I'll be around from 9am, if anyone wants to meet early. Shall let you know my location, and possibly number if you so wish to meet earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 9 am seems wayyyyy too early for me haha. I need my sleep. Wasn't it 11 last year or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 I'm going early because I'll be aiming to head off by dark, and I have this absurd normal sleep/wake pattern. Only an hour away or so. Oh and I'm not saying "LET'S GO DOWN AND DO FUN STUFF!!" I'm literally hoping someone wants to sit in the park and do nothing but chiiill/read a book/play chess/do nothing, is all. I expect things will kick off 11am-1pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2011 Not sure if I'd be able to make it that early. My stepsister is getting married on the 15th which makes things complicated. I was expecting to be in London for Uni but now I have this wedding to go to, I'll have to stay in Swindon. I have to go to Ealing a few times a year for my course but now I have to see if I can come in on another date and book the new weekend off work while keeping the original weekend booked off for the meet!

I'll see if I can get up that early, but I'm pretty sure I'll be there at 10 at the latest. I can PM you my number, and you can PM me yours. When I have a Danish phone in England, do I need to type the country code when calling/texting people? And what about when you want to contact me? I'm literally hoping someone wants to sit in the park and do nothing but chiiill/read a book/play chess/do nothing, is all. I'm so in favour of this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I have a Danish phone in England, do I need to type the country code when calling/texting people? And what about when you want to contact me? Pretty sure you still need the country code. Also, you're paying quite a bit per text. Definitely don't call as it's super expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have free texting, but I have no idea if that works outside Denmark. But it's potentially just a few texts we're talking about, so I'm not worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I have a Danish phone in England, do I need to type the country code when calling/texting people? And what about when you want to contact me? I know you need to use +44, which is the area code for the UK. Texting would be easier, as Eenuh said. It would be expensive calling if you ain't got a UK phone.

Posted June 21, 2011 Your best bet would probably be to get a single top-up card for £10 while you're over here, should last you if you shop around. When you're in the UK you'll be automatically on a UK network, so you won't need the country code prefix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2011 Sorry, I just mean a pre-paid SIM, bad choice of wording. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 Worth asking if anyone has a spare sim -- they're frequently practically given away! Not sure if unlocking your phone would be an issue, mind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2011 Me or shorty? Get a uk SIM card, it'll be uk number that dials and charges at uk rates so you'll avoid international charges that you'd get on your current SIM card. The SIM card is the thing that goes in your phone under the battery, y'dig? Shorty's saying get a UK sim with £10 of credit that should cover you for the time you're here... Yeah I dunno what you don't know or if this is helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2011 Oh, I know what a SIM card is, I just thought it was a lot of hassle. I mean, how many texts am I gonna send while I'm there - 2, 3, 10 max? How expensive can that be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A SIM card is the little plastic card with a chip on that goes in your phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
