Thanksgiving on RAF Lakenheath

[Exegesis]

When: 25NOV04 1400 at the Eagle's Landing on base.
Where: RAF Lakenheath, Brandon, Suffolk, ip27 9pn
How much: 10GBP for food, 25GBP for a room (up to two people per room).
Space is limited, only 18 slots.

Basically i'm throwing a thanksgiving bash, if you dont know what thanksgiving is, look it up. I already have invited a few people who are coming, so some of the spots are already filled, but please, express your interest here so i can begin making a list of attendees. Thanksgiving is going to be a rocking time, there will be bowling, and lots of fun things going on. Also you have the oppurtunity to be on a RAF United Air Force Installation (how many times have you had that oppurtunity).

PLEASE! Let me know if you can make it!

[Gunsmith]

gimme a postcode dude and il let you know

[Exegesis]

Post code has been amended

[lyn]

Sorry cannot attend Exe as much as i would love too, after i22 i'm totally out of cash.:(

[Dan]

Definately in ! :)


Only just down the road ;p

[Gunsmith]

****!
its a thursday!

[littlegem]

I would love to attend with LittleGem but it is in the middle of the school day and I probably couldn't get the time off, and she is on nights that night ... a bit of a bugger actually ... I would have loved to have celebrated Thanksgiving with you American style. Ill ask tomorrow but I suspect the answer would be a no. :(

Edit: Ooops ... forgot to log her out first!

CD

[Guigsy]

hell yeah!

[her0n]

"we" shall be there, i already have time booked off. Wizzo should be organising the finer details with you? If not i'll give him a kick in order to get him back into 'non-lan mode' :)

hmmmm like every weekend recently :p:

i'll shut up now

2 of my friends from down here are going to see if they can get the time off.

[Pumpkin]

leave request submitted.

should know soon.

[Dam0cles]

Ive got the thursday off, may try for friday so i could stay over.

[Mamacita]

As I said at i21 - love to come, but not enough holiday this year :(

[*Tsunami*]

This is a great invitation, if it wasnt for work :(, I'd be there like a shot. The Air Base is like a Mini-America, its superb and thanksgiving is a big thing, I'm sure they will celebrate in style. Just remember if you are driving on the base, when you come to a 4 way stop, STOP!! (even if it is clear). Otherwise you'll get into trouble ;)
Out of interest, what drinking laws are enforced on the base?. US style (21 & over) or UK style (18 & over)?

[Exegesis]

on base we've basically taken and mixed the good british laws with the good american laws. so it's legal to drink on base at 18.

[*Tsunami*]

So it's even more win \o/ then.. Just a shame I cannot make this... Come on people help young Exegesis party in style :D

[Exegesis]

Okay, i had to make up names for the rooms of the people's whose real names i didn't know, so we'll get those sorted with the correct names soon.
So far i have the following three rooms with people in them:

Room Craig Fletcher
Wizzo
Her0n

Room David White
Drarok
WeeJ

Room John Elders
Winbar
Amanda

Room Steve Sanders
CyberDrac
Dan

Room Paul Cain
Bugalugs

That means there are five rooms left.

In addition the following people will be attending:
Pos
Dam0cles
Guigsy
Pumpkin
Switch
ME!

That means we have fifteen attendees in total so far including myself. There are eighteen spots, so only three more left.

There are only four rooms left as well. Myself and Pos will not be occupying any of those, so that leaves four rooms to be sorted between the four attendees and the remaining three spots.

Hope that makes sense.

Believe me, this is going to be a rockin time!

(also, guigsy, if you plan on bringing your girl, remember, it's best to plan ahead and not have to hide in the shadows whilst the rest of us shout "GET A ROOM!" due to your poor foresight and not having booked a room ahead of time)

[CyberDrac]

Hmm ... getting better ... most people are saying that I should take the time off ... a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and all that ... I'll get a definite in the next 24 hours if that's OK with you.

Edit: and if I do get the go ahead I'll probably need a room and a very early start in the morning to get back to Kent for work.

Can I have this as a provisional yes please?

CD

[CyberDrac]

I just noticed that you put LittleGem in a room with me ... unfortunately it would be just me attending since she has to work a night shift that night and will almost certainly spend the day in bed resting up and adjusting her body clock. So some other poor sod will have to share a room with me ;) So just me ... on my own ... solo ... :(

CD

[Guigsy]

will get back to you on the room m8. but i doubt she will be able to come :( If she cant i'll just be there for the day

[Hg]

Dude i would love to come but i cant have the time off work!
I'm so sorry make it up to ya later Hg

[Exegesis]

Bugalugs submitted his payment via paypal, due to my requesting payment in a previous email. This is fine, that means he has reserved himself a room as well as paid for his meal by paying me 35 pounds. Now if someone else (CyberDrac) would like to share Bugalug's room with him, then you need to sort out paying Bugalgus for the cost of the room which he has already paid 25 pounds for. Everyone else can sort out payment for their rooms once they get to the base, as the window for paypal transactions to be fulfilled has passed. So please, no more advance payments, we'll sort everyone's cash out at the visitor center on the 25th. Also I plan on sending out a briefing for everyone who has signed up before this upcoming weekend.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest thus far.

[Dan]

I can pay for a room in advance, will need someone to share with tho! ;x

[CyberDrac]

Damn ... what a choice ... share with Bugalugs or Dan ... how can one man be so lucky? I dunno ... who'd be prepared to put up with me? I am quite happy to share with whomever will have me (oooeeerrr!) :D

Edit: BTW did I miss an e-mail?

CD

[Exegesis]

I've already booked 9 rooms. No one needs to pay in advance. Come monday morning though, i will be releasing all rooms that have not been filled.
So dan, if you want a room, either you can reserve your own, or you can bundle up with CyberDrac and share the cost of his room which he hasn't put forth cash for yet. Bugalugs on the other hand has already paid for his room, so if you want to bunk with him, you need to go through him.

[Elbonio]

HOW have i only just seen this thread?


any room left?

[Dan]

I'll share with anyone \o/ :)

[Exegesis]

There's always room for elbonio, lol.

[Elbonio]

if there's a room, count me as a definate - i'll share with anyone INCLUDING dan

[Elbonio]

i would give you a lift harry but it would mean me circling round the entire country

sorry

;)

[CyberDrac]

OK ... looks like I got Dan then ... I hope he's a sound sleeper ;)

CD

[Exegesis]

CyberDrac, i need your real name for the room.
Thanks.

[Ruth]

MY LORD I so would love to attend.

Anyone fancy transporting me 300 miles there and then back??

No? I thought not.

In all seriousness Exe, there's just nee way i could get there, which is a damned shame. Ya'll be sure t'have fun without me though.

:)

[Guigsy]

i'll give ya a lift if u can get to sheffield rooth. I'm relatavely sure where his base is. ;)

[Dam0cles]

Really sorry for the short notice but im not going to be able to come, im really sorry about this Exegesis.

:( :(

[pos]

trust me you CANT get lost on the way to lakenheath its all straight road and then sign posted!

[Dam0cles]

IVE GOT THE TIME OFF WORK and found some splash, if i can still come ide love to please. Sorry to mess people about, ill take a room aswell please, i just have to be back in the office by lunchtime.

[Exegesis]

So out of Pumpkin and Guigsy does anyone want to share a room with Dam0cles and split the 25 quid cost with him?

[Guigsy]

i will

[Exegesis]

One spot left people for signups.
Three rooms left though, lol, not like they are going to be used though, unless you guys want to have a room to yourself, i can switch you to a room by yourself if you want. But you'll have to pay the full 25 pounds and wont be able to pay the split cost between your current roomate.
BTW! You are SHARING a Queen Sized bed if you are currently in a room with someone else.

[Mu5icMan]

may be interested.

When does it end?

[BugAlugs]

lol i didn't even see this thread, dont forget RTO i had HAD him, new room needed maybe :)

[Mu5icMan]

Sorry, i retract my last question. Can't make it anyway.

[Exegesis]

Elbonio apparently has been evicted... Come on, sort it!

Edit: Sorted, apparently dan is a harsh sleeper and he singled himself out for the benefit of all mankind.

Hope you like cuddles CyberDrac

[CyberDrac]

Aaah ... Elbonio ... my little man love bundle of joy ... I could think of worse people to spend a night with. :D

edit: BTW, what in frags name, is a 'harsh sleeper'?

CD

[Elbonio]

so who am i paying for my room now

someone summerise all that becuase i dont understand it

[Guigsy]

exe i'll ask the gf once more tomorow to see if she can make it. if she can i'll take a room to myself with her. but i doubt she will. i will txt you with my reply asap

just out of interest (she will ask) what can a vegetarian eat at thanks giving :p

[Exegesis]

Everyone will pay at the front gate upon arrival, i will then go to the cashier's cage here on base and convert the money over to dollars. At which point i'll be providing for everyone throughout the rest of the evening. I tried thinking of a better solution but due to the fact that i am sponsoring everyone, i am responsible for all military related transactions while on base (as they only accept dollars). Place like Taco Bell, Popeye's, Subway, Burger King, etc, all accept pounds though, as they are ran off the british economy by british nationals.
So if you are sharing a room you will be paying 12.50 for that. Or if you have a room to yourself it's 25.00.
The meal is 10.00 per person.
Remember, i will be sending out a detailed email this weekend so that everyone is on the same page and no one has to worry about getting apprehended while on base. ;)

Exegesis, dont underprice yourself dude, I know what your like for offering too good too be true prices and hitting your own pocket. Everybody else, your going to have a rocking time, but make sure Exe. doesnt end up out of pocket (im sure your all quality and wouldn't). If he end up buying food / drinks all day/night, it is going to cost more then £10 per person...

[Wizzo]

I have loads of dollars left over from my trip to the States. Should come in handy and save some of Exe's conversions :)

[Exegesis]

Heh, glad you mentioned that Tsunami, i had kind of overlooked the evening's events and didn't really include them in the price. We're going to have to sort that out in the email this weekend.

[CyberDrac]

someone summerise all that becuase i dont understand it Well .... it means that we are splitting the cost of the room between us ... so you pay £12.50 and I pay £12.50 ... or one of us buys in full and the other pays the other in beerage and we both owe in addition to this the £10 for the meal, so in summary we each owe Exe £22.50.

CD

[Elbonio]

ah i see i see

/me packs his Cyberdrac lovin gear

[Elye]

I really should be there .... damn uni and timetables ...

[Exegesis]

Email has been sent to everyone minus Drarok, as i can't find his email address for the life of me. Drarok, WeeJ has the email containing all the information you need to know. Can't wait to see you all this Thursday!

[Elbonio]

re: chaning into dollars - if preferred can we not just bring our own $ if we have a load already?

[Wizzo]

I'll have a load of dollah with me, so if Exe runs out I should be able to help out.

[winbar]

Ill be there for evening activities only, i trust you will be able to meet me at the gate?


Also, what is the dress code fot the evening?

[pos]

Bringing your own dollars is fine.

And winbar i will be able to meet you at the gate no problem.

Dress will be casual. Normally Thanksgiving is a family occassion, so individuals just dress nicely. A collared shirt and slacks will be fine. Dress comfortably.

[winbar]

at the moment ive sent £35 (room + my spending money, ill send another £10 for amanda's spending money) We wont be at the meal.

[Dan]

I shall be sending £35 tonight :>
My room + spending money

Won't be there till about 5, finish college at 4 :/



day off on friday tho \o/

[Exegesis]

Okay... the legend continues. Called and confirmed that we indeed will have full access to the best, hippest club in all of suffolk, no wait, all of southeast anglia... 48th Avenue (Pos can confirm my claim). I'm talking a night club that provides, wait for it, xbox live, on four consoles. Internet access, did someone say surcharge? I THINK NOT! How about playstation 2? Maybe a little foozball and air hockey while you're at it. And of course there will be brand spanking shiny new pool tables and electronic dart boards. Plush leather couches for when you find yourself too innerabated to stand due to the rock bottom beer prices, the equivalent of less than a quid a bottle (and oh the assortment!).
Wizzo, sadly they don't do straight liqour (spirits). So your options are limited to beer, wine coolers, and other assorted girly drinks. There is of course soda's as well.

[Guigsy]

sadly they don't do straight liqour (spirits).

ffs. i dont do beer :(. and girly drinks are 2 sweet after 2

[Exegesis]

uh... we'll figure something out for you guigsy. was originally intending on having access to the main nightclub but that's going to be closed.

there is a redneck country bar across the road from the base that is american owned but british operated. it's a really fun place that i think would be a lovely culture shock for you lot. i'm thinking if we're still up for it after hitting up 48th Ave we could pop across the street to that and guigsy could drown himself in proper liqour.

[Dan]

teeeqqqqquiiiiilllllllaaaaaaa

[winbar]

Exe - dont forget we'll be arriving 6ish, so will need to know where you are.

[Exegesis]

winbar, my mobile is 07747806449, call me once you get near the base and i will be right out to meet you. can't wait to see everyone.

[CyberDrac]

OK ... payment made of £32.50 ... £10 meal ... £12.50 accomodation ... £10 spending money (if you think I might need more please let me know in good time and I'll make another payment)

CD

[Guigsy]

sorry about this exe i'm slack prod me tomorow and i WILL send you money

[Exegesis]

If you havent deposited money yet, please convert to dollars at your nearest exchange service (i believe your post office does this).

[Guigsy]

dammit... so i'm like... actualy going to have to go OUT to get some funny money due to myself being slack :(

[Elbonio]

in a word... yes

;)

[Exegesis]

Sorry guigsy... if i was to accept further transfers i would be SOL. None of the transfers thus far have cleared my bank account. So i'd really be pushing my luck by accepting additional transfers.

[*Tsunami*]

As a local to the area I'd like to offer the following advice for those of you who are driving to Lakenheath..
If you are coming from the Newbury Area (or west eg. bristol, cardiff), and you wish to avoid the M4/M25/M11 route, the best route is A34, A43, A421, A14, A11.. (this is my normal route to and from I-Series)
From the South its M25 -> M11 ->A11, there is little choice in the matter :(.. Unless if you know the M11 is blocked, you could go M25 -> A1 -> A421 -> A14 route. The A12 is a poor option..
From the Midlands & North, drive to the end of the M6 (or M1J19), then onto the A14, then its A14 -> A11..
From the North you can also go A1 -> A14..
Warning, about Cambridgeshire and the A14, not only is there a lot of traffic, cambridge police regularly have speed traps on there and their are camera's there as well. So be watch your speed especially on the A14 section between A1 and M11..
Oh the other speed trap area is the road leading to Lakenheath (off the A11), its a long straight road, and it appears police like to gun that road as well.

Everybody drive safely and have fun :D

[pos]

i'm leading some from hereford - and picking up Drarok and Weej for the convoy :D hehe so we should all be ok

[Exegesis]

Who all plans to attend the Breakfast/Bowling on Friday morning?
Will start around 8am and continue till noon i believe.

Also could you help me get an idea of the preferable wake up time for friday morning so that i can have and idea of when to clear out the rooms and pay the bill?

[Dam0cles]

Possibly a stupid question but how far are we going to be able to drive onto the base (or is there out of base parking), if so which side of the road do u guys drive on. do you keep to the british convention of the Left or do you drive on the Right like back in the US?!? :confused:

[WeeJ]

Yeah, I'm sure Drarok and I would be up for some breakfast/bowling. We're in no rush to get back :)

[Exegesis]

We drive on the UK side of the road on base. It's pretty much identical to what you are used to.

Also you can drive anywhere on the contollment side of base. I'm responsible for supervising everyone while they are on the installation though, so you must be under my survellience at all times. Which means we have to stick together as a group. I'll need to know where everyone is at all times (unless you need to step off for a minute to use the loo). We'll make sure everyone is informed ahead of time if we plan to shift locations around the base, so that everyone can make sure they dont miss the movement.

If anyone is found wandering around absent of my precense you may be asked to provide security with my contact information and they will try to get you back to me. If they are unable to though, you will then be escorted off the installation and i'll have to come get you back at the gate once you do get in contact with me.

There is parking on base, but just like everywhere else in the UK, it can get a bit tight. I'm a bit curious as to how we're going to get everyone parked in the Visitor's Center for processing, but i'm hoping it will be deserted due to it being a holiday. Either way, we'll sort something out.

Any other questions?

They drive on the LEFT on the base, I believe you will be able to drive on the base, dont forget to take some decent form of I.D. (otherwise it might be hassle getting on the base). All cars are normally searched before entering the base.

They have roundabouts, and beware of the fourway stops ;)

**DOH beaten to it by Exe **

[Exegesis]

Yes, fourway STOP, not YIELD!
*eyes tsunami* ;)

[WeeJ]

Oh, forgot to mention. I've bought for us all to eat at the dinner.
A rather large butterscotch cake.

I bet I get some arse on the train bump into me and I'll be covered in fudge and sweet toffee and tasty cream and mmmm......cake....

[Exegesis]

heh... kinky ;)

And I'm glad someone asked about the driving on base ... although I have driven in LA and Vegas before so I could probably cope if I had to.

[Exegesis]

No need for car sharing, unless you really want to save petrol or something. When i say parking on base is limited, you have to remember i am speaking from an american standpoint. There's PLENTY of parking on base. Probably way more than you brits are used to in most circumstances. Also it's a family holiday, so most people will be at home with there families, and that means even MORE parking ;).

[CyberDrac]

How cheap/expensive is the bar BTW? ... 'cos I have been known to have a few beers/shots and would hate to run out of the mighty dollar at a sobering moment ;)

CD

[Elbonio]

for those of who are paying on arrival, do we pay for the rooms in dollars?

[Exegesis]

beers are going to be around $1.50 each.
there will be no shots/liqour/spirits. my apologies to everyone for that. but the beer selection is pretty wide and you'll have the oppurtunity to try many drinks you've never had before.

[Exegesis]

yes, the rooms will be $45.00.
The meal is going to be $18.00.
And you'll want to bring yourself about $20.00 spending cash.

[Guigsy]

i have $35 let over from holidays, its 2 late for me to get more now. So if i cant pay for rooms etc in £ then i'm ****ed... unless someone has loads of $ we can swap

[Elbonio]

Guigsy it's not too late

banks change it, post offices change it, travel agents change it (for a sma.. large fee)

[Guigsy]

Are you sure. We have a family friend who runs a natwest bank and an estate agent... when i went to spain i had to ask for them a day before i could get my euro's. I'll see what i can get tomorow after my job interview

[tiSSue]

if ur doing BIG amounts u may need to wait a day

but ive transferred £250 into euros there and then fine!

[Exegesis]

I've confirmed and recieved payment from the following individuals:

Bugalugs has sent in:
£35.00

Drarok has sent in:
£65.00

Switch has sent in:
£33.50

Damocles has sent in:
£35.00

Winbar has sent in:
£45.00

Could everyone else please PM/email me to confirm the amounts you've sent (as most people were saying they would be sending money, not too many saying that they had).

Also as a last second note, the majority of Check/Debit Cards can be used here on base at the ATM machines to withdraw dollars. I don't know why this slipped my mind before, but i just remembered that Sarah (Pos) uses her debit card here on base to withdraw dollars straight from the ATMs. Sooo, if worse comes to worse, you can try that.

[Guigsy]

i got some. I'm a tard. thanks anyway :p

[Dan]

I've sent £35, did it sunday night, should be there tommorrow :)

[CyberDrac]

OK ... on my way ... see you in a couple of hours.

Okay, two more transactions have shown up on my account this morning. I'm guessing:

Just want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Exegesis and Pos for putting up with me yesterday. I have had a superb time of it, the meal was superb, the keg rocked, the supermarkets were fascinating and I'm sure that LittleGem is itching to be invited up some time so she can share the experience that I just have ;)

Many thanks to the gang for making it a memorable experience, see you all again soon. Sorry I couldn't stay for breakfast and the bowling ... maybe next time :)

LINK ME BIATCH!

[Exegesis]

HEY! WHERE ARE THESE PHOTOS!?

[Elbonio]

they're massive and nobody has the bandwidth to give to him to host them all!


CD - get them down to a reasonable 20MB and you can host them on parachutingtrees.tv

[Exegesis]

The MSN groups site is crappy and wont display any pictures here at work. I'm dying to get my hands on some pictures, the ones i saw briefly at home were really good.

[Bonkers]

send them me - ill rape my ISPs space

[Er00]

I would say send me em and I'll shove em on lycos, since they never care bout bandwidth :p: but i'm 56k...so meh

not very helpful tbh. Please can you think before posting in future? your spam is beginning to grate...

:mad:

[GeeDee]

Cyberdrac, if they're not OMFG sizes, upload em to ftp://ukftp.multiplay.co.uk/incoming and give me a shout when they're up.

:)

[Er00]

:) I don't know ... is 81Mb as a zip file large? ;)

CD

[Exegesis]

i'd say that's not unreasonable. not too many people will be downloading. only 18 of us attended, and probably not all of them will be interested in the photos. and i'm guessing not many people other than that would be interested who didn't attend.

[CyberDrac]

OK it's up there ... all you need to do now is get it moved out of incoming to somewhere you can get at it.

I have returned from the US / Lakenheath ...

Excellent party, with a very win keg o beer. Some quality, pre club drinking with MPUK's finest, with only the slightest bit of drunkeness from Pumpkin and oddness from Elbonio.

The club it self was great, with free pool tables, darts, X boxes and DDR along with some OPULENT Laz E Boi chairs which RTO demonstrated how to relax and fall into.

Some great staggering by Amanda post club, followed by a little more drinking and then off to bed. Where I find out that Pumpkin was as drunk as I was, and that I dont remember him snoring. However he does steal the covers.

[Dan]

Did you get with AH at all then Elye? ;x
