Title: UK memebers?
Post by: Tym on Fri, 22 March 2013, 15:32:03
I was just wondering how many UK members there are on GH, this isn't being discriminatory and if anyone takes offense to this please feel free to take this thread down, just looking for friends :D

Also if you want to take part in a large order I think I have some 2nd class stamps lying around and can buy envelopes probably charger £1 for the shipping from me ? We could always do a keypop order as well, ask they to ship to i3oiler ?

British people complain so ****ing much lol, everytime I come back to the UK it drives me mad, especially people complaining about the weather... It's pretty good tbf, yeah it rains and sometimes snows, but for the most part it's cold in the winter and warm in the summer :P

I am in the UK. Formerly Cambridgeshire, now the north coast of Scotland for the last 6 years. Moved here mainly for the air, the scenery and so I could pay a £10-20 excess on heavy parcels, as well as survive on 0.5mb internet. It's still worth it.

Try MyHermes - not the fastest courier (possibly the slowest), but hard to beat on price.  My colleague sent a 15kg from the Isle of Man to the UK for about £12.  Took a week though, so I wouldn't recommend getting a large box and punching air holes...

Aye, I have used MyHermes when its an option, very good service. Even normal post can take a few days extra anyway. Many people don't or won't use MyHermes though, and still plenty of places that just refuse to deliver here at all. It's still worth it.

Insomnia would be a good idea I think, really great event. I doubt I'd be going to another until summer though.

Im very sure Me and Joe will be at i52 (summer) but i will be at this comming winter one i50, and maybe the spring one too!

Cool cool, I'll try and remember to check next summer who's going. I would've gone this year except I was working in Germany and it didn't seem worth it to pay to get back for the weekend. Hopefully should be free next summer but we'll see.

I tend to stick to the summer events now too.. Gives me a year to become apart of the community here.. would make for a good meet.
