Default The Sims 2 Free Time Community Day

Hi Guys,

We will be holding a community day for Free Time in our Chertsey office on January 14th. This will consist of a presentation from the games producer and a chance to play the game for the rest of the day (taking a break for a lunch....on us)! You will also get chance to meet Omni and myself too. At the end of the day you are welcome to join us for a few drinks and meal.

If you would like to come along then just send me a PM and I will confirm some final details with you. Please note there are limited spaces so those who are not confirmed will not be able to attend. You also need to be 16 or over.

It should be a great day and I hope to see you there

Not that I could go anyways.

Well I recently went to London and it took about 4.5 hours.

This is a bit forther so add an extra half hour and that's 5.

Multiply by 2 and you got 10.

It's still not ideal unfortunately for me, as much as I'd love to attend.

We are looking at other venues for future events, Birmingham being one since its middle of the country. So I am sure there will be one you can make

Wish I could go.

But I also have a problem with travel. It takes me about four hours to get to London.

You deliberately arranged that on the date of my critical thinking module! *gasp*

Either way, I don't think my parents would be happy about me skiving off college in order to go.

Ah well... the sacrifices I must make for education.

It's the day of my geoscience exam, so I couldn't go. No way I'd manage to get from Scotland in time seeing as the exam finishes 11.30am. Pity it wasn't three days later when my exams are over.

Why do people keep telling me this? Birmingham is nowhere near "the middle".

It's not near the middle, is it. Leicester for example is much more central.

Yeah nyaren, you're right, Birmingham's not central, it's really northern! :P Haha, you can always count on a southerner to think they're central to the world.. I'd love to come along, hopefully i'll be free but i'm up at Uni so instead of it being an hour round-trip it'll be 5 pfft. I'll have to check my exam date and see. Fingers crossed!

The middle of England perhaps, not the UK though...
