Sounds a plan to me

...and New York would be a laugh though, one of the cheapest flights we can get to the US, bet you'd have to lie to immigration there to get the automatic US Visa Waiver/ESTA haha.

Just for information purposes, US embassy/border control/TSA/Immigration do NOT have routine access to UK criminal record databases, but telling lies is immoral in my opinion so don't do it people. Apply for the visa and declare everything...it is the correct thing to do.

I have never even been arrested or even cautioned mate.

Far too savvy to even be there when the rozzers turn up, I'm well gone by that point and nearly 40 lol.

I really am not good at flying, they nearly had to divert and land once when i freaked out and had to put my head between my legs singing the themetune to wallace and gromit really loudly with my missus at the time stroking my head through my hoodie.

I don't know what it is I just freak out it feels wrong to be travveling at about 500 miles an hour 18,000 feet up in what is in essence a megabus with wings and you paid 30 quid for it, just plain wrong mate.

I once screamed "# # # I've changed my mind" on take off, daft as # mate.

That must be awful to have that fear! I suppose everyone will have to come to you then?

Unless...do you mind ships?

a reply to: nonspecific

Wow, fair play to you!
Maybe you had more reasonable cops at hunt sabs and the like compared to myself.
I've always pushed the law anyway, if only because we can in the UK because being arrested is like the least scary thing in the world these days.

Swindon it is then...definitely safer for everyone if the police have to turn up.

I just do not fly any more to be honest, I can cope if my son is with me as parenthood over rides it but other than that I would rather stick a rusty fork in my face.

Boats are fine as at least i can jump off if I need to lol, I think it's more of a claustraphobia to be honest.

I am having my own meet up in swindon and if no one else turns up then so be it.

I can have fun on my own if needs be.

that last line was just for you Augustus

Nah, I am just good at knowing when the # is going to hit the fan and get out before they arrive, looking like I do they tend to assume the worst and give me grief when I am not even doing anything wrong.

I had a sniffer dog check me out once and when it found no reason to search me they bought another dog in because they assumed the first one was defective, nightmare mate.

Would we wear name tags with our ats user names?

Says formal yet here to party lol

Wouldn't work for me. I already posted a bunch of pics in the photo thread.

I might drive up with that Czech rocket fuel to add with your Buckfast/Absynth dirt just to get hammered and then drunk post on ATS.
I can sleep in my van no worries, bacon sandwich in the morning would be cool if you know a good greasy spoon place near yours though.

Sounds good to me mate, must be able to get a couple of more at least on the ridgeway, you can get a 3 dongle signal up there so we can get banned together.

a reply to: nonspecific

Oh that would be priceless, post in the ancient civilisations forum from Avebury stone circle just getting drunk like intelligent chavs.
You could run past with a flashlight and I'll get a grainy bit of footage we can claim to be an orb or something...you know how all such footage is grainy and jerkily captured.
Deal then...Swindon and sacred sites anyone else?

I think a few were interested last year but some are gone, boy monkey for a start. also a lady poster who's name eludes me right now was up for it but concerned about the camping with strangers issue...

a reply to: nonspecific

Pub then, and anyone who wants to camp later at the stones can, or not, BM must still be a lurker for sure, I know he came back under an amusing new name at least once.
New York could be fun though, pity you have issues with flying, but my comfort zone would be of course be preferably UK, if only for our non-scary police if it all went tits up...bashing sticks are so not scary lol.

Lol would make an epic thread, "drunken disorderly ATS fun festival, the aftermath."

a reply to: TheElectricPriest

Count me in. I am a gluten-free vegan. I look forward to hors d'oeuvres that suit my needs, and Valet parking service.

Also, will there be a "safe space" for if I get scared?

Yep, just next to the bacon sandwich stall

He was about after "the incident" as ashamedandsad I clocked it right off but then he refused to talk about it so hey ho.

As I say I will happily go on my own if no one else has the time or inclination to turn up, will still be a good night out.

I really cannot fly and even if I could I am #ed if I am going to fly to new york to meet a bunch of tinfoil hat wearing idiots even if I do have a massive tinternet crush on one of them (and no it is not you) not a fan of stabby stabby plasterers.

a reply to: nonspecific

The UK members are really going to have to work on extending their bedtime if they're going to party with folks on this side of the pond!

'Stabby stabby plasterers', too funny! You may be wise to not come to NY and meet up with us US folks as some seem a little sketchy.

Now, about that crush, I love playing matchmaker!
