Talk:Southampton, United Kingdom

When I want to go to a meet, I probably shan't sign up here or check that anyone else is going. The mystery about how many people are going to be there is part of the fun, does noone agree? 131.111.202.214 18:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Definitely a purist :-)

Some people feel the other way - I'd be pretty disappointed to travel up to 50 miles only to stand in an empty field. If just 3 people sign the wiki page, then there might be 10 or more people that didn't sign the page, making it a good event Hello1024 18:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm more concerned about the amount of "our" area that is sea - it seems like it's going to be rare for the location to be on land. 81.187.153.189 18:39, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep - cross your fingers for Saturday! Hello1024 18:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

PS. We can always go to the oxford graticule if our meetup point is in the sea! Hello1024 19:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Provided this keeps going long enough (and why shouldn't it) I think at least one sea meetup needs to happen one day. We live on the coast, we ought to be able to beg, borrow or hire boats, right? 81.187.153.189 23:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

It's good to see some fellow xkcd'ers around in this area!!

guys just a heads up that i'm TOTALLY interested in a meet with cool people that like XKCD but, alas, this weekend my sister is coming down and i've gotta stay in soton :( My apologies, maybe next time yes? :) SinJax

no worries - remember since so much of our area is on the sea there'll probably only be a meetup one in 3 weeks anyway - remember to "watchlist" the main page so you can find out a week you can come! Hello1024 19:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll be there uni work permitting. AX

We've got a position for saturday!

BUT... it looks like it's in the water... :(

is anyone going to an alternate location instead? We could use sundays location just north east of southampton instead, or give it a miss this week. 192.102.214.6 14:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

People are going north if the location is wet. AX
