Any date sounds fine to me, by the way...not like it matters since I don't have a car or know where I'm going and such. |

Two suggestions:1) We call this meeting 'Winkicon '02.'
2) Someone named Lotus has to bring the camera due to the fact that she has been known to be an intense shutterbug.

Camera? Not a problem...sorted!
Am thinking a good place to go might be The Printworks. Anyone needing a map of Manchester, e-mail me...or speak to me on ICQ...and I'll snail mail you a copy! |

I'd really love to, Lotus. Thanks for inviting me as you hardly know me, 'tis very sweet of you to do so. But my fiancee is really ill and is basically not able to do much until after her operation next month, and we wouldn't be able to make it. Once again though, thanks. I hope you all have fun though! |

*CHANGE OF PLANS* (Special Note to Pro)...Nic Zbu arrives on Thursday the 21st, NOT the 20th, as first thought. Hence, being rather UBER jet-lagged - Friday the 22nd is NOT a good day for the meet. Therefore, it is being post-poned until Friday the 1st March. Hope this is still okay by everyone. Please post aye or nay! Thanks. ------------------

This is a good idea, since I'm weird when I travel and/or drink heavily. Remember, I'm the guy who thinks the Perfekts is amusing. |

Exactly how many times can a 13 year old boy manage to fuck up the computer with a virus by downloading crap in 6 months? Well so far he's managed it 8 times.Which is why it takes me so long to reply to anything.
Laz i would love it if you met me off the train. Thanks.[This message has been edited by Roz_27 (edited 02-16-2002).] |

Roz,1) Do you have anti-virus protection? If not, you might want to try download.cnet.com and get some off there. Or, if you do have antivirus stuff... 2) 'Update your virus definitions' by going to the company's website or doing a search on google.com in order to find them. Chances are it might be out of date and not catching them when they hit. 3) Also, go to the Cnet.com address and download Ad Aware Version 5.xx so you can get all the spyware off your computer which I'm pretty sure you might have.

I heard the UK isn't part of the European Union, therefore they're not using the euro. |

They are and they aren't (I think) LD! Will need to be a vote on whether we adopt the euro, and that won't be for a couple of years yet. I know that Marks & Sparks (Spencer's) accept them in Manchester City...as do HMV in Manny as well. |
