Right guys, kind of odd thing here.

At the beginning of August, Alex is planning to come over here to see me. Now I had an idea, since he has no where to stay, we dont we tour around the country in my car, visiting our online fans and friends, if we have any.

So far, it is in the very early planning stages, so what I want to know is who would be inteested. Obviously, we could meet in public places like town centers etc, so we can meet various people from the same place.

What I would like you to do is email me on nemesis@pokecharms.com, telling me where you live in the UK, Scotland and Wales included, it's a possibility, and what we could do there. If we get a good enogh response, we will choose the most popular places, and plan a suitable route around the country.

It may sound unrealistic, but I want to do it. It will be good fun before I leave for university. So guys, please contact me at nemesis@pokecharms.com if you are interested.

.....yeah. *cries* :(

Nemesis
04-19-2005, 02:14 PM
And yeah, the word UK in the title? Clue, no spam here please. =P

Feel free to suggest places we could go to though, rather than emailing me if it is easier to discuss here.

I plan on having some prize type things.

Why don't you go.... AS FAR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AS POSSIBLE! :)

Coming up... (when Rach can drive) THE KYAK ISLANDS TOUR! (also in the US!)

Seriously, if YOU get to go meet Rach, I'M going to go and meet RacH!!!

Nemesis
04-20-2005, 11:38 AM
Rach won't be able to drive for atleast 3 years. =P Stop stealing all my ideas.

Since there sint any one really worth meeting, who is our age, we mgiht just go on a booze tour around the country for a laugh.

RLRL
04-20-2005, 12:18 PM
Well if you decide to go on a booze tour you have to go to the Barracuda Bar in Loughborough, say ure the brother of someone in the water polo team and they will be very nice 2 ya...

Coco

I'm not sure how many people here are from the UK, but if at any point you every come to Sydney, Coco will take you out on the town.

Nemesis

Yeah, looks like we might just end up driving around seeing the sights and getting drunk.

Hey if you guys are gonna be get drunk in random locations make sure to visit Edinburgh I live 30 mins from there so I'll come help you get drunk :P .

We were going to try and get up there, so if we do we will let you know. We plan to find random internet cafes on the way, and maybe supply Yoshi or someone with a number if anyone needs us urgently.

No idea where we are gonna sleep though, might end up being Dave and Alex on the road to no where.

Is this the way to Amarillo?

Good God no, not that song.

My tips: Head to Scarborough and places around there. You'll find some internet cafes around there.

Nemesis
04-21-2005, 08:57 AM
Things to do list-
Get drunk
Make a Pokecharms Amilrilo video
Find Serebii

EDIT-

Road trip update

We ARE going to Scotland, probably staying with Pikachu, whihc will rock. Gonna be filming our exploits too. Alex wants to make an Amilrilo video.

More soon. Any suggestions?

Make a mix CD of travelling songs, and bill it as "The Nemtastic Charms Road Trip Soundtrack". And charge some ridiculous price, 'cause us skoolers will pay through the nose for anything Nemtastic.

Nemtastic is several steps above premium. *readies wallet*

RLRL
04-21-2005, 02:05 PM
Also, make it country wide... come to kent and see me!

Nemesis
04-21-2005, 02:15 PM
Where abouts in Kent?

Hydro Typhoon
04-21-2005, 03:14 PM
At the bottom- South East... tsk tsk, Geography not your strong subject?

Nemesis
04-21-2005, 03:22 PM
I said where abouts IN Kent, not is. Kents a rather general area. Hes just near London, so we might be able to make it near the end.

The tour route (http://home.ripway.com/2005-4/286705/davetour.GIF)

We start in luton and go east then north, until we loop abck around. It may cahnge if I get any good offers.

Pikachu
04-21-2005, 03:32 PM
When you come to mine you'll go past edinburgh a bit to fife but thats only like 20-30 minutes away so I guess it won't matter all that much :P.

Nemesis
04-21-2005, 03:45 PM
Yeah, its pretty generalised. We will probably cut out Leeds, Peterbourgh etc just to save time.

You can buy a DVD of our trip for a modest £7. Or alternatively, I may find a way for people to download a movie file of it for a small fee.

Both certified as Nemtastic. ^^

And I get to watch Charms during all this. Whee! You can count on me. I promise not to blow anything up :D *Much ^_~*

Reading??? o_O I LIVE NEAR THERE! *hides*

DVD Scene list:

1. Luton
2. Crowds line the streets to greet N+G in London
3. Nem gets arrested for drink-driving

:p

Nemesis
04-22-2005, 05:20 AM
Haha, probably, only if Gary spikes my drinks though. I plan on parking up for the night around 4 pm then drinking continuously. Early start so Im sober for the next morning.

We are working the opposite way round, picking Alex up at Luton then heading to Cambridge and peterbough. We leave on July 11, aiming to get to Scotland by the thursday.Then make it to Blackpool by the following Monday.

Alex is worried he will get bored during all the driving, so any fun suggestions for what we can do? CLEAN ones, you perverts.

Hydro Typhoon
04-22-2005, 05:59 AM
Make a CD of you singing TV theme tunes- that's my suggestion.

DVD Extras:

1)Drunken Tour of Damien's house
2)Drunken Interview with Gary
3)Drunken interview with Nem
4)Drunken Fight: Gary vs. Nem
5)Drunken Race: Gary vs. Nem

Nemesis
04-22-2005, 06:35 AM
Yeh, theme tunes is good. Garys after an Amirilo video with loads of people we meet.

I want to leave random Pokecharms at places, like on Serebiis front door.

Hydro Typhoon
04-22-2005, 06:49 AM
Do you know where Serebii lives? What is a pokecharm? He lives in Bournemouth somewhere... Does he know that charms exists?

Nemesis
04-22-2005, 07:25 AM
W ehave our ways, and yeah, he knows who we are, we had a huge row with him when he stole some infomation etc.

Josh, check PMs.

I'll want a dvd of this trip, heck if you do see me i might be on it!

Things to do in the car... See how many truck drivers will beep their horn if u do the arm thing(or try and kill you if u do the other arm thing).... buy 20 kinder eggs in a service station and make an army of the toys... buy a living monkey, kit it out with pokécharms gear and give it free roam of the car, see what it does... Play "Hiya Driver" the car game from shin chan... tie someone up and gag them, put them in the boot and let them escape at a service station, see what happens... Make macaroni cheese over the ciggarette lighter.... play with fire... park your car next to a junction, sit there with dark glasses on and a hairdryer in your hands, see if anyone slows down... Listen to "I Wanna Rock" by twisted sister and sing along... make those lil scoobydoo thingys... have one person teach philosophy to the other.... stop to pick up a hitch hiker ask them if they have the guide to the galaxy, if not, drive off... buy a lightsaber, light it at night and see if people in the other cars give u wierd looks.... bring a laptop and play solitaire... make random stuff saying "pokécharms UK tour" and put them all over the car... write a pokécharms theme song.... Stop on the hard shoulder next to a field of sheep, get out and shout "WOOO SHEEP!" then act completely bored by them and get back in the car (that would need to be recorded)... poke the driver every 5 seconds and go "tee hee" every time... Okay ive currently run out of ideas... but i will be back with more...

Nemesis
04-22-2005, 11:34 AM
I dont want Alex poking me all the time...

And yes, Pikachus Mum is looking after us!!!!

Linkachu
04-22-2005, 11:35 AM
Well, there's always the obvious idea of what to do...

Bring your DS :P

Really... Music, books, comics, something to draw on, and lots of video games are all I need to keep me occupied when I'm traveling. Nice scenery/people to talk with helps too. But if all else fails... Riddles and mind games help pass the time.

And hey, Alex does own a laptop, so that's one extra thing to have (if its battery isn't junk like most of 'em are).

Pikachu
04-22-2005, 11:43 AM
Here we have track one of the Pokecharms Travel album:

We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
Pika here we come
Then right back where we started from
Gary's getting drunk
Nem's unconcious in the trunk
Driving down the A1
Pika here we come
I think Nem just swallowed his tongue

Pikachu's House
Here we come!

Making videos
Drinking as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Pika here we come
then right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Then knocking at his door
out of alcohol gonna have to get some more
Pikachu here we come
Then right back where we started from

Pikachu's House
Here we come!

Yes yes be amazed.

We will definatly be taking the lyrics to some of our spoofs with us, such as my unposeted Nintendo Rhapsody, Buisness, and Nem is Back. (He won't let you be a member!) Though I wont be able to stop Alex recording me as I drive and sing..

Checked, thanks, but then I checked the avatar thing and the box mysteriously appeared :confused:

PLEASE put a Charms banner on your car- people will think you're crazy (Crazy and Proud) lol

What info did he steal from you?

Nemesis
04-22-2005, 03:12 PM
We've been told not to talk about it. *Stupid Serebii and his lawyers*

I wouldnt worry about it, long time ago now.

It will probably be about $10 Lee

Expect the songs to suck, I cant read and drive at the same time. And I cant sing!

Gary Oak
04-22-2005, 04:33 PM
And hey, Alex does own a laptop, so that's one extra thing to have (if its battery isn't junk like most of 'em are).

The laptop's not going, too much of a financial risk, as well as endangering Pokecharms - as that's where it lives.

Might yell at people driving by from the car window if I get REALLY bored. And record them giving me the finger.

RLRL
05-06-2005, 01:19 PM
Ooh ooh, had a random idea of a scene I personally would like to see on the DVD...
A slight spoof of the original Road Trip, Nem says to Gary
erm, dude, one problem, we're practically out of money"
"well i think we know how to make some..."
- Shot of gary standing on a street corner in the middle of the night underneath a lamp post....

Any comments (death threats are always welcome)

Ahem. Anyays, don't forget to stick a pokecharm on Serebii's door for us, and you never know who else will pop up in London... Oh, wait. Yes. I won't be. I'll be on the French Exchange in France. ^_^

That's a terrifying tour. It reminds me of the stereotype of Americans visiting Europe: "If this is Monday, this must be Belgium". I can't help feeling you should cut out a few of those towns, otherwise you'll be seeing them for like, 2 hours, or something. A few years ago the boy & I did a week-long tour of Holland to stay with people I knew from the internet, but we only went to 5 different places, and Holland is tiny in comparison with Britain.

Try not to get deep vein thrombosis from all the hours sat cramped up in the car...! (Not joking - although it's more common for people to get it on flights because of the low pressure in aircraft, you can get it from excessive car or coach travel).

Nemesis
05-10-2005, 01:59 PM
We wont be seeing them for more than 2 hours. It is basically on the road until evening, around 6pm. Its two weeks remember, won't be a problem.

Aurora-PS
05-23-2005, 12:21 PM
It's a shame you finish your tour 4 days before my bday and you finish the day after my school term ends. If ya can stop off in Stamford/Peterborough as that is where I am :|. thats if ya can change it.
