ON a more on-topic note:

Jim, you missed your waterford reunion. There were 4 of us at that career exhibition in the Ard Rí. Tusa, mise, Eamonn Carey agus Michelle mcCarthy.

That's about all the turnout you can expect for a waterford reunion...

Gee, thanks for telling me. I mean, I haven't like suggested or requsted or encouraged it ever or anything.

whinge whinge whinge! whinge! ...whinge...whinge...

And the entrance to the centre of the earth was in Iceland, at least in the movie it was. But other Jules Verne adaptations have sucked, so maybe not.

It was entirely co-incidental dear billiam. I just spotted the others after getting dragged there from school

Though i DID miss a Math class...

[ozzie]No worries.[/ozzie]

I mean, did anyone actually see 20,000 leagues under the sea? with kirk douglas. The Nautilus was nuclear-powered and Nemo had an island base. Although the invasion scene was cool.

Okay. Waterford reunion sometime around Christmas. I'll be there, even if none of you are.

4 words...League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Undergod · 24-11-2004 2:49pm

Yes, but that's cool. The second Volume is cooler again. Those crazy Martians

<realizes he's referring to the movie>

AAGH! Get it out get it out get it out!

It wasn't me! · 25-11-2004 11:34pm

Um. Problems have arisen. I may be in on saturday but due to family um... difficulties, I may not. I'll try but if I am it'll be fairly late, say around 13:00 or after probably. I'll try get in though.

mentalimplosion · 26-11-2004 6:26pm

13:00 is early, if you ask me.

It wasn't me! · 26-11-2004 8:31pm

Well, yeah, but late for the start of the reunion dealy. It's looking increasingly less hopeful that I'll get in but I'm still trying.

Piste · 26-11-2004 8:51pm

Well for those who are going in for Cat's birthday she asked us to be there at 13:00 so I don't think it's gonna be a problem Dave.

It wasn't me! · 26-11-2004 9:00pm

Assuming I actually make it.

Piste · 26-11-2004 9:12pm

you better *pokes Dave*

It wasn't me! · 26-11-2004 9:24pm

Trust me when I say this one's just a wee bit out of my hands. The powers that be, aka, my parents, aren't going to go easy on this one.

The Christmas Reunion

I was thinkin' that we could do a Secret Santa type thing.

People sign up with the organiser.
Those people are all put into a hat.
The organiser chooses randomly who is who's "Secret Santa".
Then, the organiser contacts each person about who they are buying for.

There would have to be a spending limit. I think €5.00 is a resonable limit. You can go over it but don't expect more than it. The trick is to find that excellent present for under €5.00. If you get a good one it'll mean much more than any €30.00 thing. Maybe you could find out your person's interests.

The choosing:
Organiser (who would be me unless someone else wants to do it)
1.Oragniser pulls the names from hat's. The first name will be the organiser's receiver. The second name will be the organiser's receiver's receiver, and so on, and so on. Of course this means that the organiser will not receive a present and the last name won't have to give (this is because the organiser would know who their "Secret Santa" is). So you could consider that you could be the lucky person who receives but does not have to give.

2.The participants could also be split into Male and Female groups. This would mean a process of choosing a girl (because I'm a guy), then choosing a guy (that she gives to), then a girl (that he gives to), and so on.
Seeing as we probably wouldn't have an equal amount of girls and guys the left over girls/guys (whichever group has more) would be put into another choosing process as in the first example. Again there would be a person who doesn't have to buy in the main girl-guy-girl group.

So, we have two different ways of doing this. I'll start another thread and have a poll on which people want if you want it at all.

I have a lot of confidence in this idea and it could be a lot of fun. The good part is you can open the presents as soon as you get them.

Also what day should the reunion be. Christmas is on a Saturday but I think that would be a bad idea. Maybe the 22nd, 23rd, 24th? It kinda needs to be before the 25th if we're doing the present thing.

P.S. This will be my first reunion since September, so lets make it special.

P.P.S. You can sign up by PMing me. Include a contact path (MSN, e-mail or I could PM you, but please specify).

Aoibheann · 02-12-2004 12:40am

well, Kevin, you already know that I'm in for this secret santa thing.

JenLorigan · 02-12-2004 10:18pm

Hey, is anyone going to show on Saturday? I don't want to be the only one...

Katie-Bob · 04-12-2004 12:25pm

How about a MASSIVE christmas reunion on the 19th Dec.? T'would be great craic sur! (sorry I've been spending too long in the country) Or else any of you that know me we could meet up then? Reply soon. Thanks

LiamD · 04-12-2004 3:39pm

HeyYou · 07-12-2004 5:31pm

Hey all, let me know wehn this reunion is on, I'll spread the good word to the other RAs and if you're lucky some of them might come along! Alas, I think I might be away.

Piste · 08-12-2004 10:53pm

So when are we reuniting again?

Hugh Hefner · 09-12-2004 12:04am

Not the 26th please. I've got other business that day.

Piste · 09-12-2004 6:14pm

Well I'll be in Cork....

Katie-Bob · 11-12-2004 12:28pm

Well then lets just have one on the 18th. Any objections?

Hugh Hefner · 11-12-2004 1:10pm

Yes.

Lets have it a little closer to Christmas. We're off school so we're not restrained by weekdays. How about something more like the 23rd or 22nd?

Aoibheann · 11-12-2004 2:17pm

agreed with Kevin. I think the 23rd is a good day. also, I need to study on the 18th, and perhaps work aswell, and I really want to see everyone.

Hugh Hefner · 13-12-2004 7:57pm

Okay so. C'mon people we have to get this sorted soon. When will be the Christmas reunion? 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th? What? We need a decission soon.

Shiney · 13-12-2004 8:23pm

I think we should stick with the 23rd cause the word's gone round about different days so we'd better set a date

Just like to point out, Katie did set a date and then you cancelled her reunion which is hardly your place to cancel someone elses reunion???And then give out that no-one set a date???

Hugh Hefner · 13-12-2004 9:05pm

No she put up a reunion announcement which wasn't discussed (becasue people weren't given time). So I said that it wasn't official

Katie-Bob · 13-12-2004 9:32pm

Firstly:
Thank you Liam.

Secondly:
Kevin, about this reunion, not everyone can get up to Dublin that near to Christmas, some of us have lives and other things to do. People had been thinking about the 18th and other dates so I just said I'd pick one to hurry it up (which is what you wanted) and so people could make plans if they had to. Sorry if I offended you in any way but last time I checked it wasn't your place to cancel a reunion. If you don't want to come then thats fine but I'm sure people would like you to go. Why don't we have 2 reunions, people can go to whichever is easier or even both. OK?
