Author	Topic: Salisbury/Andover/Basingstoke Meet
Cobranaconda Title: Ex-FF-UK: South CR Registered: Mar '04	Date Posted: 7/31/07 4:44pm Subject: Salisbury/Andover/Basingstoke Meet
	So, we decided that this was viable, so now we have to decide: where, when, and who. Personally, I'd prefer Salisbury or Andover, due to their relative closeness. However, if I'm outvoted, Basingstoke isn't that much further, I suppose -----signature----- "We find that your American beer is a little like making love in a canoe." "Making love in a canoe?"

	Salisbury http://www.visitsalisbury.com/ Andover http://www3.hants.gov.uk/localpages/andover-attract.htm Basingstoke http://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/leisure/ Hmmm, at a quick glance, I'd say Salisbury seems to have the most going for it. I do want to see Stonehenge one day, but not sure I could make a meet down there this year. -----signature----- Where have all the meets gone? Good old days are far far away

	Salisbury is old and boring, all of Andover's stuff is nowhere near the centre, and I've not been to Basingstoke properly, so I can't criticise anything apart from the fact that their website is really dull -----signature----- "We find that your American beer is a little like making love in a canoe."

Salisbury is far superior (shops & sights wise) to Andover. 2. What?!? As the official Andovarian I feel I should point out that the town centre is Andover... There isn't anything outside it besides villages, housing estates and industrial estates... Although I will conceed on the fairground... That is miles out, but it has the best independant chocolate shop in the world! 3. Basingstoke is good - it has a cinema, hundreds of places to eat, a huge shopping centre & that's it... Tim: You're not missing much - it's a bunch of rocks in the middle of a field.... And I've decided that Andover has the worst website... I vote Basing or Salisbury.... -----signature----- Member of the GDG & FF:UK South Inmate #3 of the South Insanitarium

	I vote Salisbury as well, as it's easiest for me to get to. You can get to it from a lot of places if you go by train. How does this sound for a plan? Meet up for lunch, go to the cinema, and finish with a bit of shopping? -----signature----- Vader's Mousedroid Society Fanfic links in my bio My fan art: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/26961879/ when infected with Small Child the victim continues to swell for nine months before the infection can be safely removed

	Heh, looks like the South ain't into their history then Bunch of old rocks???? That's what a taxi driver in Rhodes told me about this place ... ... Kamiros. That said, there is more to Kamiros than at Sailsbury Looking at the map, think there would be enough to occupy me for two days (the old rocks one day, Salisbury itself the other), so I may do it at some point. -----signature----- Where have all the meets gone?

	I just thought I should mention that I won't be available for the next three weeks. My parents and sister leave for Egypt on Monday so I won't be able to go anywhere (my parents are my taxi service as I can't drive). -----signature----- Vader's Mousedroid Society Fanfic links in my bio My fan art: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/26961879/ when infected with Small Child the victim continues to swell for nine months before the infection can be safely removed

	Buses go through Downton and Woodfalls all the time, can you not catch one of them? -----signature----- "We find that your American beer is a little like making love in a canoe." "Making love in a canoe?" "It's ****ing close to water."

	Once every hour, and they're rebuilding the tannery bridge so buses are less than reliable at the moment. It's also really expensive. -----signature----- Vader's Mousedroid Society Fanfic links in my bio My fan art: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/26961879/ when infected with Small Child the victim continues to swell for nine months before the infection can be safely removed

	It's about the same. Besides, I'd rather avoid spending money if I can. -----signature----- Vader's Mousedroid Society Fanfic links in my bio My fan art: http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/26961879/ when infected with Small Child the victim continues to swell for nine months before the infection can be safely removed

I never said I wasn't into history But what can you find interesting about a pile of rocks in the middle of a field? At least Kamiros was actually a building - Stonehenge is just a bunch of rocks... Literally.... And you haven't heard the recent local news reports with tourists complaining that it's over-hyped... So good luck with spending an entire day there... £30 says you'd be bored 2 hours in.... As for Salisbury itself, now that's interesting (from a historical pov); it's got some really nice architecture, including the cathedral, and apparently Anthony Daniels was born in Salisbury....

	Yeah the cathedral's well nice, not the best cathedral in England by a long way, but still quality. If it's piles of rocks you want, someone pulled down a garage down the road from me and IT'S a big pile of rocks. Not many tourists either, bonus! -----signature----- On the Keyboard of life always keep one finger on the escape key.
