| | | Hehe you're getting quite serious about this whole 'meeting up' stuff aintcha?
Paintball and a piss-up sounds fun. Though I must warn everyone I get a bit of a Rambo complex during paintball. If you've ever watched Spaced, that's me there.
Otherwise (and this is a **** thing so take it for what it's worth), Paignton Zoo is THE greatest zoo in the world because it's got TWO red pandas. Which are the best animals, ever. If you haven't seen one, you haven't lived. They are AWESOME.
And I like zoos because it's fun to antagonise the primates. I've also had the misfortune to see rather too much of a female orang-utan than I'd like before lunch.
Or I guess there's always Alton Towers, although I appear to be the nemesis of Nemesis - every time I've been there, it's broken down.
On a side note, Ocean Colour Scene are playing literally next door to my house two days after my birthday, so if anyone fancies buying me a birthday present and seeing a band then please form an orderly queue. |

| | | Depends on where you meet but if in London, I'd have to vote for going to seen Phantom of the Opera.

Good luck with it and hopefully it's a great success. Remember, group photos are the key....oh, and no paying anyone to stand in the picture to make the group look larger.

| | Alton Towers is a good central location in the UK too. Me and Laura know a LOVELY B&B near by 
Paintballing is also great fun... but I dont know anywhere that is central for everyone who would attend.

| | Alton towers sounds good to me as it is literally in the middle of the country.
I won't ask how far your knowledge of hotels extends Stu

So true! would be way cheaper for me to go to paris than get a train to staffordshire!
I dont really like alton towers, there's not much there. I prefer thorpe park but thats a bit off to one side of england and down a bit.
