I know I am WAY early but I just wondered if anyone was keen on using this as a meet opportunity?
I have emailed the event organisers to try for a group discount so will keep you posted.

Here's a cultural gap! What does "it's a bit pants" mean? Is it something like "it's the ant's pants" or am I way off track?

I'm going (WOW! First time i've not put 'maybe' or 'probably'

)

I'm gonna be staying fairly local hopefully too (no more dodgy B & B's like last year tho!

No more asking directions off fcuking brummies either! How can an entire city not know its own area?

They are BRUMMIES, question answered!

I even pulled over a copper in an attempt to find the B & B (probably rude to follow the old bill flashing ya lights & indicating left but i was desparate) The worst thing is that EVERYONE seemed to give really specific directions - i ended up EXACTLY where they said i would, just not the right place. Its like me not knowing where somewhere the size of canterbury it, thats only 2 miles down the road! I got from Dover to Birmingham QUICKER than i got the 5 miles through the place i had to drive. Bloody internet directions were crap too - travel along roundabout for 22 feets (FEETS?!?) then loada roads that never existed

Then the B & B - Major off faulty towers ran it. Booked a parking space, the B & B never even HAD any (wot was my Â£5 for then?) No smoking room, got bollocked for hanging out the window, etc etc etc

rant over :x
