[Au³ Joinee Jamie]

Everyone, i was originally planning on staying with rich, but current events are lending themselves to me staying in the weatherspoons inn above the briar rose.

However, i'm somewhat reluctant to miss out on muchly fun if said muchly fun is going to be happening.

Therefore
Ergo

Where are you staying?

[Joinee Parkin]

I'm staying (well, living) in a little suburban townhouse* in one of Birmingham's nicest, most Bohemian neighbourhoods. It's about a half hour joueney from town (10 minutes to bus stop, 5 minutes max wait, 15 minutes bus to town(


*Estate agent speak for a 60's terrace.


It may lack the central location and balcony of Hotel (or should that be hostel ) Bennet but it's got a nice little green outside and it's nice and quiet. And I have proper beds/sora beds/ futons for about 7 people. The rest is floorspace.

[Au Joinee Rory]

I believe I'll be in Chez Rich. Someone please remind me to book flights though, or I'll be staying in Chez Rory and not out having fun with you guys.

[Chairman 'Jamin]

Work dependant (shouldn't be a problem this year at least), I'll be trying to find somwhere nice to spend my sleeping time. Any hints appreciated.

[Platinum Joinee Wilf (GD)]

I have booked the largest spare bed at Chez Rach. Coz I was like first, innit.

[Joinee Parkin]

well apart from Hotel Rach and Hostel Rich, there are a number of hotels to choose from:

Don't go for the Briar rose (the Wetherspoons one in town.) jen and Gatesey stayed there and gave a not very good report.

At the budget end, you can't go wrong with the Etap. Good value, reasonably central (about 10 minutes walk from SNOBS and 40 quid a night - it's room only though), clean, basic, and comfortable.

You've also got the Travelodge on Broad st which is OK. If you want posh, there's the Hyatt. it's very smart and has a spa.

If you've got silly money, I've hear hotel du vin is rather tasty. But if you can afford to stay there, we'll also give you the bar tab for the night.

I think the Ibis is pretyy good too and a fairly good location.

But I reckon me and Rich between us should be able to take care of pretty much everyone!

[Platinum Joinee Plub]

The travelodge is really expensive at the min...£71 a night!

If anyone comes across any good deals, give us a shout!

[Pud]

I'm supposed to be stopping at Rich's but is there a problem? Why aren't you staying there Jamie? Is he going to be elsewhere in the country now?

[Au³ Joinee Jamie]

No, richard'll be there. I just thought i might free up some space in the flat by staying elsewhere.

Bless you, Jamie! But how would a mad night at Rich's be a mad night at Rich's without you?

Oh, and I am planning to be mostly abusing Bennett hospitality, como siempre

Can I be one of the cool kids?

[Joinee Bonathan]

Chez Chez maybe available for crashing space.. possibly... depends on how much work there is left to do

[Tea + Cake Joinee Manning]

I too am staying at Chez Parkin.

[Joinee Meek]

I'm Chez Parkin. WOOO!

[Thorners (a.k.a. Claire)]

Is there any more room at Chez Parkin, pretty please? I'll only be there on the Saturday night, and can and will sleep anywhere...

[Joinee Parkin]

Yes Claire you can stay.

I have to give a heads-up to all the cool kids staying at Chez Parkin: I have two cats. They are very affectionate and cuddly and you may end up sleeping with one or both of them! However, lovely as they are, they are rather allergenic (I have to take piriteze daily!) So if you have a problem with cats, either bring your antihistamines or try elsewhere.

Jen Cooley is also staying. so is Stephy. Hurrah! Our house will be wall-to-wall loveliness.

[Chairman 'Jamin]

I have booked at the Copthorne in Paradise circus (where ever that is) £61 for a twin room through last minute.com

You jammy sod.

That hotel is probably as close to SNOBS nightclub as it's possible to get. Wll, without dossing on the pavement outside.

Paradise Circus: probably the most ironically-named roundabout in the UK. It's like the world's concrete reserves were gathered together and dumped in one place.

And woop! for the Jamins are coming!

[Joinee Dave]

I will be at Loggerheads.


It's always worth doing that gag.

Sorry - Just Mr 'Jamin is coming as Mrs 'J will be skiing and looking gorgeous

[Fairy Fay]

Anybody got room for me

[DG Joinee NEMESIS]

Currently offered or confirmed stayin at mine are a numnber of people above looking for hotels and travllodges and such.

I can understand why Helen is confused. I know i am - as none of you have that were staying here have mentioned this to me in the last 5 days whilst i've seen you.


Rest assured Helen, Rory etal, i will be at mine for fab feb, there is a poo load of parking, and there's about 12 of us here all in bed or bed substitutes, although from the look of the above, it may be significantly less....


so what's we all doin then?

[Joinee Bear]

Not sure if i'll be staying but i'm hoping to come along for a while at least. I'd post this in the other thread but it's not been posted in for a while or this year.

[SJ Lipinski]

Me and my friend Piggy, who some of you met at K5, are hoping to pop along for the fun filled activities. gotta find somewhere to stay though

[Chez]

sorry would offer up space this year but my house is in total chaos still

Sorry dudes

xx

[SJ Lipinski]

it's ok my other friend is coming too so we found a hotel ^^

[Pud]

Unfortunately I won't be able to stay over now. Not now that I have little Cody. I may still turn up during the day though (mainly for the duck race) It just depends. I should know her better by then and know if it is an appropriate thing to do with her.

I shall join the melee. With rubber hammers. I need comfort. Well, not need. Like, more like.

[Joinee Kebab]

Actually - i think you'll now need to re-earn your place with a spoon fight at mine!!!! On the Blacony.
Failure to fight, results in a forfeit!!!

OH YES!
