The 10 crucial steps to let a meeting succeed.

Jim Bon Jovi · #11 03-04-2004, 01:41 AM

if it was true no one would be wanting to go.

getting people from all over the shop to meet in london isn't exactly easy logistic wise but i'm pretty sure it'll work out

choclady · #12 03-04-2004, 07:43 PM

and it will work out, yes!

supersonic, i think with this post you have given proof of what you are really like as a person...and this is not the first time either. I don't blame your ex-girlfriend for behaving the way she did. it may sound a bit harsh, but you should really grow up soon because otherwise i doubt you will be very happy in the future

1.Tell everyone about people that are coming, and mention lots of names so the people that are named need to say they can’t or aren’t willing to come

2.Give a stupid reason for the meeting. Like going to the same place again where you met all those people because a band played their a year ago.

3.Make it obvious that you need help for every little thing like choosing the transport.

4.Make it a meeting of 4 days so you can be sure that after one day you’ve got nothing more to talk about which will make it even more boring.

5.Misjudge costs completely of how much it costs to get to a meeting place either from within, or outside the country in question. Also allow for misjudgement (read: forgetting completely about) of costs to and from airports, of staying in one of the most expensive cities in Europe...

6.Be sure you all go into the same cheap hotel and sleep together on one big room so everyone can complain to eachother the next day about how noisy others are in their sleep.

7.Pretend like everyone’s looking forward to it while in fact you’re the only one that’s really looking forward to it, because the rest is pretty fed up with you always trying to get it under their attention.

8.Try to relive an experience that "others" experienced for completely different reasons a year earlier, despite the fact that that reason is no longer there, nor are most of the people involved.

9.Try to relive that experience by doing a pilgrimage to that place again while the reason you were there before is no longer there so you’ll standing there looking and eachother while not knowing how to behave and saying "well this is it" while bringing up memories that no one can share because they all have different memories with people that were not stupid enough to go

10.Set a date in the most expensive time of the year when it comes to travelling of which you’re not sure yet but se sure to change the date just a few weeks before going so everyone needs to change flights again which will make it even more expensive.

Now if you’ve done all this and it still failed then all get very drunk (in a city that is one of the most expensive cities in the world) this will save the meeting and it will save your own ass as no-one will be able to remember how miserable it all was.

If you find the posts about the meeting boring, reading the same replies containing the same crap about how it won't work is just as boring for the people who are actually looking foward to this.

just ignore it - Sebastiaan obviously doesn't have anything better to do than complaining about the meeting

while you guys should know better on how things are working out with it, don't you

All i have to say is 'Have a great time at meeting'. Althought i won't be making this time, but there is always next time.

man ow man ... like someone said ... what a pointless tread ...
Just want to say a few things :

Too supersonic :
1. We aren't organising the trip for more then a month on the board in public now so how the hell would you know how things are going now? You can't judge things AND people if you don't know.

2. As said before, if you're not interested, just stay out of it and give the people that are joining the pleasure.

3. You just proved yourself once again.

Too the others :
Thanx for your replies. It means a lot

P.S. : You are also sooooooooooo wrong about certain things ... Reason we meet in London at that time has nothing to do with Bon Jovi, but has to do with exams, summerjobs and Christo's european trip ... It fits that way. Also ... how the hell should I bring up memories with the others if I wasnt even in Hydepark ... so dont try to be smart and think you know everything cause you really dont! Im not organising this trip on this board for quite a while now so you dont know how far we are with it and how it is going ...
You must be so bored !

Hope you enjoyed typing this...
I think you just do such things to stand in the spotlights.
I don't think you have feelings or a heart, you're such a **** asshole.
Get over your **** ex-girlfriend and get on with your life.
If you're not interested in this whole thing, stay out of it...

So, that's off my heart now...
