    well, to jump in on this discussion quite late.....

    I could in theory come on the 11th. But I don't want to come so much if you won't be there, Blondie?

    I liked that weekend at the end of November - it was a bit out of the way of the Christmas rush thingy which I fear I will get embroiled in.

    I agree with what DDD said earlier (I feel a little faint, I might lie down) - this is an open forum with a party being organised for anyone who wants to come. I would really, really like Biondino to be there, but if the date is rearranged to accommodate him then there appears to be a top tier of people evolving who decide among themselves who must come, regardless of others who then can't come. And presumably if there's a self-appointed top division then in their eyes there are other, lower, divisions. So if we reschedule to accommodate Biondion and I can't then come, is that OK?

    That's a rhetorical question, btw.

    So I say to Biondino, MTFU and find a way to be there on 11 December. Please.
  • There'll be no reorganisation purely for Blondie's sake, this, as someone said, is a democracy after all. It was merely the suggestion that the penultimate weekend before christmas might prove tricky that I thought might be pertinent.

    I'm not sure where this democracy thing came from to be honest. Opinions on dates were asked for and returned, but as far as I'm concerned if LiT is going to organise the whole thing it's entirely up to her which one she plumps for.

    It's all in danger of becoming a bit divisive now. I hate xmas. :shock:

    How about Friday 25th?

    Far better than unwrapping socks from Grandma and watching Uncle Freddie get drunk again

    NB I neither have an Uncle Freddie or indeed a Grandma, I made them up. Apologies if I've offended anyone's Uncle Freddie or Grandma

    I think more people need to vote...

    I am not sure about "tiers" in this whole thing. Certainly not imagining the whole thing should be based around any one person but on a majority vote. Of course I will be more driven to come all that way of people I already know will be there - think that is entirely normal and not at all suggestive of some kind of hierarchy.

    Attica - 25th looks clear to me .....

    hang on a mo. Sorry, I think I have a hairwash booked for that date. And a nit check ;-)

    I think people are overthinking it - dates were suggested and a poll was created - makes sense to schedule it when most people can attend.

    Simples, no?

    Linsen - who's doing your nit check - I'm getting itchy too and think mine are back!

    Gutted, I can't come.

    I wanted to this year too, but it's my works xmas do, paramore are playing at the NIA and this is on too, and I have to be home for 7. I think I;m going to have to go for the free meal.

    Maybe next year :)

    I won't be going to my works Christmas do this year as I don;t know any of them, they all work in a different office from me, and it's looking a bit pricey.

    Think I'll come to this one instead.
