Question for the !Midlandsbronies meet up, will you guys be meeting up near either a train or coach station? (Would load up the group's page and see if it's mentioned there, but Mustard is being a parasprite right now)

@leonkfox We'll be meeting actually at New Street (Train) Station. So, yes.

@leonkfox New Street Railway station m'lad. It's in the South of the city centre. I think the coach station is east of that.

@ceruleanspark Not working too well on mobile, but I'm presuming 'Rail Information' means 'Big mangoes off Arrivals/Departures board, like every other Railway station', because that's what I'm looking for.

@rotation I'm sort of guessing the same. It's right in front of the turnstyles to get in/out of the platform area though, so are the staff gonna let you hang around there?

@ceruleanspark Well, I was hanging round there for a while the other week, and I didn't have a problem, but then again, I didn't have a funky banner. don't see why it should be a problem, though...

@ceruleanspark In the other three stations I've been in of similar size (King's Cross, Central, Waverly) there's benches, as it's a thing that people want to keep their eyes on, and the ticket barriers are after it. If not, we'll just go for opposite ticket office.

@rotation Do you mind if I can chat over facebook or something, I don't understand whats happening...

@rotation If you stand there, folks not coming from the station (i.e. me) won't be able to get through the ticket gates to you.

@thelastgherkin I presumed @rotation meant the big board before the security gates. Next to the coffee shop... didn't you?

@rotation @thelastgherkin What about immediately in front of the shopping center/burger king there? It's in a straight line from the turnstyles, so we shouldn't be able to miss you.

@ceruleanspark @pawnheart man I am so confused, I don't even TELL YOU WHAT @rotation MARCH UP AND DOWN THE MAIN CONCOURSE

@thelastgherkin I'll bring a megaphone. When you hear someone being escorted off the platform by the police whilst raving about sensual giraffes, you'll know where we are.

thelastgherkin
@ceruleanspark I think you just redefined "indecent exposure". (Very sexily.)

@thelastgherkin You want to call it then? Seeing as you have all the local knowledge?
Sunday, 11-Sep-11 12:39:17 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@rotation I have hardly any local knowledge. I'm dozens of miles away from Birmingham. But I reckon you should just hand around outside Burger King/Millie's Cookies. It's the centre of the facility, so we'd pass you whatever direction we come from.

@thelastgherkin Thats the bit I was referring to.
Sunday, 11-Sep-11 12:46:51 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@pawnheart Man I don't even know. I'm not convinced I've ever actually been to New Street. I'm usually at Snow Hill or Moor Street.

pawnheart
@thelastgherkin Well, I know exactly where you mean! We'll sort it... its not like the main concourse is that big (...is it?). We has banner. I has oversized, wrong shade AJ shirt. We'll be dandy!
Sunday, 11-Sep-11 12:52:43 UTC from web-
thelastgherkin
@pawnheart And I'm pretty funny-looking, so I'm sure people will be looking at me anyway.

@thelastgherkin You have more than I. And by 'march' you mean 'sit and read a newspaper', don't you? @ceruleanspark EAPPLEJECKS TRUC If they have it.

@thelastgherkin So you mean somewhere within the 'magenta ring', if this map is to be trusted? http://tinyurl.com/3pkt36l

@rotation Yes, precisely.

@thelastgherkin Cool. Now watch as the other cracks in my 'plan' appear.

@rotation Crack 1: what if Wetherspoons is overrun by football fans attempting to watch the match at 3pm?
Sunday, 11-Sep-11 15:14:11 UTC from web-
rotation
@thelastgherkin Attempted solution: I'm in town early enough on Saturday to scout for alternative locations.

@rotation Neat. I'd try to help, but I don't really know of many venues in Brummijam.
Sunday, 11-Sep-11 15:19:16 UTC from web-

@thelastgherkin That's really been the whole story of the meetup. Take note !midlandsbronies: Next time, make sure at least someone knows the place you're going to.

@rotation I love how nopony in the Midlands knows a good place to eat in the second biggest city in the country.

@thelastgherkin The whole thing's being organised by some daft git in Glasgow who's never been to the Second City.

@rotation Well, my Dad came from there, and I live very close, and I know next to bugger all about it, myself. There's a BT tower there. And a shopping centre. And Black Sabbath came from there... er... I'm out.

@pawnheart Hey, my dad came from Newcastle, but if you set me loose there I'd be like a fish out of water, aka hopelessly lost XD

@leonkfox Well, thinking about it, I don't know if I would have any particular urge to bring my theoretical offspring to Leicester. Funnily enough, thats what the mayor said as well.

@mush Ah cool! I was born in Leicester, went to Glasgow Uni, failed at a number of things, came back down here temporarily and... I like to wear my dressing gown as much as possible.

@leonkfox I was offered to be driven, but any opportunity to go on some trains. I like trains *Gets run down by a 4-4-0 pulling carriages*
