Not mixing well ? Well, apart from the languages problems, I don't see why it would be awkward.
Once everyone knows who is who etc I'm sure people would start talking etc without any problem
No-one ever thinks these things will go bad =P
If everyone thought it was going to be bad, then there'd be no point discussing it. The overall opinion so far has been positive, so i'm with that.
And i'm sure people would be able to find people that they could at least converse with, so i don't see how it could be awkward or anything like that
Just looking at all angles, man. Don't shoot me down.
I wasn't shooting you down. I was disagreeing with you and stating my point. Shooting you down would have included the use of bold and/or !s ;) |

A web link? That's just a little bit too 10 o'clock news! Lol.
Although one in each country could be an idea. There was pretty much one at the Barrowlands a few months ago, so that can count as Scotlands'. And i've already mentioned that there'd only be about 4 people at a Northern Ireland, so hows about a separate UK one, and maybe one for all-Ireland as well?
Discrimination !
I don't want to meet only French peeps ! lol
Yeah, i want to meet other people from different countries as well. An international one might not be feasible, that's all :) |

Cool, I really hope it'd be great, but Andrew did make a good point about these things being awkward sometimes, I know I've felt really uncomfortable at a board meet-up before. Hope to God it doesn't happen here! |

I did it once too and the first 20s were absolutely awful. I felt so uncomfortable.
I hadn't even spoke to them before (except to one guy and it was just 2 emails :s).
When we found them nobody said anything during like 10s, staring at each other. All I wanted was to leave them, lol. But once we got introduced by the guy I "knew", it went very well and we finally spend the weekend with them. |
