  Woah, that'n is slightly confusing considering you apparently retired a year ago :S. Ironholds (talk) 07:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

  mmmm, I stopped editing wikipedia, but I still have the same concerns as any other user of Wikipedia. The reasons for stopping editing were personal. If the meet-up is for editors rather than readers then I won't attend. Clarify. Mike33 - t@lk 18:48, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

  Anyone can attend. I do agree though it's a little odd you came back after a year inactivity just to sign up for this. No harm though. Majorly talk 18:51, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

• If it's a Saturday I may be able to come - I used to live in Manchester and still have friends up there I go up to see every now and then! AndrewRT(Talk) 17:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC) Sorry can't now AndrewRT(Talk) 22:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
• "it's the 3rd or 4th weekend of January, I may be interested (other commitments may arise)" From Thomas Dalton (copied here for convenience from [1])

• I actually am coming this time, even if it is just so that me and Ironholds can discuss our awful musical tastes. — neuro^(talk) 20:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
• My passport expires in March, so I hope it's still active so that I can have a few drinks. Passport actually expires in May! Hooray! Due to a family emergency there's no way I can come to this. :-( --Deskana (talk) 12:37, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
