Could you be any further from me in the UK?

Could you be any further from me in the UK?

Would you prefer Scotland? Or London? They've had them in London, however I doubt they'll ever get a real one together in Scotland.

 

[Emperor Matthuis]

I wonder who decided that Leicester was a good place.

Nevertheless I didn't attend the ones in London either, I do not mix NationStates with real life.

 

[Monte Ozarka]

Could you be any further from me in the UK?

I dunno, Leicester looks pretty much in the middle of England.

Where do you live? Plymouth? Aberdeen? Ireland?

 

[Fulhead Land]

Leics is in the centre...its just a treck!

 

[Flemingovia]

Having a meetup in the midlands is blatant discrimination against those of us who like keeping four wheels on our cars, our wallets and mobile phones in our pockets, and enjoy a decent pint of beer*.

*Everards does not count as a decent pint of beer.

A) Take the train
B) Don't bring a wallet or your cell phone unless you have a purse/backpack
C) Don't drink any beer

Problems solved!

 

[Vrtbovska Zahrada]

Oh. One could be crazy enough to get to England in august...we'll see...

 

[Fulhead Land]

A meet up in the pub without beer. I dont even meet liscensing laws and I know that ones just stupid...

Yeah... all the British meetups have them drinking copious amounts of alcohol. I wonder how the guys are going to react when I try to order a girly drink. Do they serve mojitos in pubs?

 

[Fedele]

Nothing closer to Texas? Shame.

 

[Former English Colony]

Yeah... That's why Texas sucks hon.

 

[Namyeknom]

Do they serve mojitos in pubs?

Serve it? I doubt they could spell it...

And as for me, well Leicester is close enough to be a spur of the moment journey.

*Namyeknom hastily points out he's not a native, and agrees with Flem's sentiments about the midlands.

 

[Great Bights Mum]

I'm confused. Can't you drive anywhere on the island in a day?

 

[Democratic Donkeys]

Distance becomes relative.

 

[Vrtbovska Zahrada]

Yes, for some, a person from 20 kilometres away is a foreigner already!

Do I have to go to see the doctor to go to Britain? Any tropical diseases spreading?
How about crime? Can I feel safe there?
I heard a lot about the "security" of the ferries to Britain, too!
And aren't they going to chop my hands off just to get my Swiss watch?
And with me being a foreigner, am I secure of xenopobic attacks once I open my mouth?

 

[Emperor Matthuis]

[Fulhead Land]

VZ, dont worry about it. The spread of Tropical Diseases has been kept low this year because of the rain. And the lack of tropics

 

[Vrtbovska Zahrada]

Uhu. Now, still you got the chopped-off hands and a nice, xenophobic beat-up remaining! Let's go to Britain!

Oh, and I guess I was mistaking the UK for Estonia!

[Former English Colony]

I know this is slightly late, but I am extremely saddened that NONE of you came to either of the meets. >_> I will also use this to shamelessly show off all my pics from Britain since I'm too lazy to create a new topic.

I weighed up the costs of a 22 hour flight and decided I'd stay home and watch TV!! NS meet up looks...riveting!!

 

[Emperor Matthuis]

Interesting, you went to some good places.

 

[Poltsamaa]

Yeah, York is one of my favourite places in the UK!!

 

[Fulhead Land]

I told you the north was a bad choice, didnt I?

You don't love me that much Poltsy? I'm crushed.

 

[Lord Valentine]

In my defence, I was both poor and stuck at work for most of your visit

 

[Fulhead Land]

literally, as ^ now works in a toffee factory.

[Vrtbovska Zahrada]

I'm sorry, but on august 18th, I was travelling in the very opposite direction, to Italy.
