A UK SitePoint Meetup

I’m so tempted to split this thread, moving your gossip posts into a thread called “Molona & Mizwizzy: The internet dating agony aunts”

:smiley:

:stuck_out_tongue:

:lol: hey we’re the life and soul of the party :weee:

Are you serious about meeting up with ppl Andy? What if they turn stalkerish? Have you done this kind of thing before :eek2: The mind boggles to think what sort of conversations you would have …say if you were using words such as oh i dont know, “gank” and “icle” :shifty: :lol:

very funny Andy :stuck_out_tongue:

I do (well, actually my mother) have a house in Murcia, relatively close to the beach (1 km.). Wanting to go there? :smiley:

9 double bedrooms - :shifty: looks like we’ve found your meet up point Andy

molona am i pronouncing this correctly - “murtheeah” ? lol :x

Gee… you’re quick! I changed it because I thought I was giving a bit too much information away (just basic security)

I wouldn’t mind to share the house if you want to visit Murcia. The food is fantastic :smiley:

And my cousin has a lovely boat :smiley:

Why not? A few drinks and a curry… what else do brits do???

Oh yeah, talk about the weather, and talk about people who aren’t there :shifty: :lol:

… some people think it’s a great idea :agree:

Can just imagine the drunken conversations now. :lol:

u backbiter Andy! It is a good idea, and good for every1 who is interested in doing it, i hope it all works out for you :tup:

Molona, sorry :blush: !

Well I don’t think anyone considered dating anyone we met at the meetup molona, it’s meant to be a meeting of mind’s :stuck_out_tongue:

The thought of geeks in grass skirts and hawaian shirts would be too much :lol:

By basic security I assume the cops’ll arrive at 6PM :smiley:

Speak for yourself! :wink:

I haven’t been on this site for ages… I hardly recognize anyone any more :stuck_out_tongue:

Why don['t we all just gatecrash molona’s palace? I’m sure she can accomodate :smiley:

Or… there is Nottingham

Smack-bang in the middle of the UK, and apparently 5:1 ratio for female to males! There you go boys!!! :lol:

No, seriously, I think nottingham could be a good place. Plenty of good-old-british-pubs apparently!

You joined in 2000? Well, there are only a few about from that era, Dan Grossman is one veteran, as is iFroggy. Doubt they can make the trip however, but you’re still welcome to come along :slight_smile:

Thanks! :smiley:

Yeah, I’m a real old-timer, back from when SitePoint was still just a smallish site with a smallish forum :stuck_out_tongue: Kind of drifted away after a time for some reason, though.

Is that a compliment? :shifty:

I think not :smiley: …probably means something like ‘back-stabber’ :eek:

Those days are gone but not forgotten :slight_smile: Big/Small, all arbitary really, as what makes a forum is its community feel… Old hands are especially welcome back :tup:

It might make sense to combine a meet up with an existing web related conference e.g
FOWD/FOWA/Highlandfling etc

Did think of that, but seeing as those web conf’ cost a arm and a leg maybe not the best since people might feel they have to go to the conf anyway…

If we do it separate, we could go conference-style, but I think an informal gathering might be better :slight_smile:
