So?

There's still tons of people in the UK on this website, and we are just having a little get-together, there's no need to be so immature about it....


Also, how is it ironic? By saying that you're stating that the original purpose for The Escapist was to bring together American gamers only.

And Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me but that sounds an insy bit racist to me.

Either that or someone has misinformed you of the definition of irony.
Okay. No one is understanding what I'm saying. DUH i know there are other people from other countries here. It is a ironic that an American Website brought brits together. And a racist by definition is "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."

I always found there was nothing to do in York, except walk around the city walls and go on the ghost walk. But the ghost walk was fantastic mind.
Despite living so close to York, I'e only been there two or three times. I agree with that, there doesn't seem like there's anything to do, so I'm secretly hoping Manchester wins. I have a feeling it will, considering what people are saying in chat and on here.

I'm hoping Cornwall wins, it's a nice and pleasant place, very relaxing and sunny and a few things to do. But I understand why people want Manchester, it's very centralized and easy to get to go, it's built up and so on.
Normally I wouldn't mind Cornwall, I've been there a few times and it's a lovely place, but I'll be down there Monday to Friday with my family.
And I just typed out a whole paragraph trying to justify why I didn't pick Cornwall before realising it would be a whole lot easier and cheaper for me... I think I'm going to have to change my vote.

Dammit, I really would love something like this. Only problem is 1. I live in Sweden (WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE HERE? WHY??? D:) 2. I have little to no money. 3. I'm way to lazy to actually make such a trip.

I'm jealous at you UK guys. <.<

Hm, I'd go for Cornwall. At least, if I can afford it by that time.

Anyone know of any entry level jobs for a foreigner who wasted too many years in a kitchen to fill in?

No?

Any place that will let me rent my body to science for a reasonable price?

Cork University will, except its more of a donation than a rent.
My cousin rented herself to an art university once though, that up your street?

Lame, being from Brighton sucks. It's nowhere near anything. Every one of those places is like a four hour trip minimum.

But I'll probs be busy anyway... [sub]I swear I'll turn up one year...[/sub]

Come to think of it I should probs join the group (and stop typing "probs")... *scampers off*

Hehehe. It´s not ironic. This site may be hosted in the US, but the site itself is INTERNATIONAL! So no irony was involved in your sentence.

OT: I would love to go to one of these things. But this damn island keeps me away since it isn't exactly a part of the UK.

This is not a choice.
Well, my calender seems quite full for the year with lots of travel ^-^

Lets just hope I'll have enough money to go.
