Agaith Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Off the top of my head and counting those who are coming but cannot join the Facebook group, there is about 10-12 (I think) lol 2 Link to comment
Menorain Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah, I think that's about right. There are about three people that I'm not sure about, but still quite a good turn out for a first time event for a smallish site. Link to comment
Bleu Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 There are about three people that I'm not sure about, [...] What do you mean? Three people you're not sure are coming? Three people you're not sure you want to meet? Link to comment
Johnathan Colourfield Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hope everyone enjoys themselves this weekend Hoping to come along in August if we can set an earlier date but we shall prep for that if this one is a success Enjoy Link to comment
Agaith Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is everyone expecting a report on here on how it went? Looking on the weather forecast, wet seems the likely outcome 2 Link to comment
Nephylim Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Honey, no matter what the weather is like the only thing about us that is going to be wet will be the alcohol Link to comment
Andrew Q Gordon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Am totally jealous you guys are doing this. Ten more days and I would have dragged Mike across the pond so we could be there, but our holiday doesn't start until the 12th. Sigh. Another fun thing I am going to miss. Link to comment

There's always the August meet if you have holiday left? 2 Link to comment
Andrew Q Gordon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 There's always the August meet if you have holiday left? Oh no, August is right out - it's not about having holiday left, I have 10 weeks and counting already this year I can use [we have to work weekends and holidays and we early extra time off at 1.5 times the hours we work] but anything after early July and we are going to be on baby watch. I can't leave the country and have the babies born. Maybe we will come over before that and just make the rounds Link to comment

Bleu Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm pretty much ready for the meet. In the last few days, I dyed my hair blue, to be in tune with Nephy and to live up to my name handle. I've also been practising my gin-and-tonic swallowing skills. I almost feel British again now. I had initially packed a jackhammer to break the ice, since these meets can be awkward at first, but I think we'll be fine without. The only thing I'd better not forget is a couple of umbrellas because it's going to be raining "cats and dogs". Oh, and I also learned by heart the strip-poker rule book. Someone indicated that it was the best way to spend a rainy day in a strange city. I don't mind him stripping if the cards are not in his favour. As for me, I'm not planning on losing .

Nephylim Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I would't be as worried about breaking the ice as drowning in the lake ... or the street Link to comment
Westie Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I would suggest that strip poker is "off the cards" for me, but I have a "special friend" at the meet (with benefits) that will allow me to indulge in alternative activities. I shall not be drinking Gin and Tonic, as that SOOOOOO middle class Dah-lings, but I shaln't say no to a glass of nice wine (nothing from the "new world", dear - don't be crass) or indeed a nice single malt. My preference is either for a Laphroaig or a Lagavulin. Straight up, room temperature. Ice is for the offlanders. I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone who is turning up, even those from France Link to comment

Laphroaig and Lagavulin win any day against G'nT. Good to see that you won't be pulling the drawbridge and readying the arrows when you see the froggy comin'. Link to comment

Bleu Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Paya! Handle = nickname Don't pretend you didn't know that Link to comment
Nephylim Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 You know I totally didn't get that until your response Bleu. I just thought he'd got your name wrong I must be losing my touch Link to comment
Bleu Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ok, so we've established the fact that Paya's and my mind are dirtier than yours Link to comment

Bleu Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Nephy will now make it her weekend's mission to say things that will make us all blush scarlet This is getting more interesting by the minute. I wonder who will win the challenge! Link to comment
Nephylim Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing Not deliberately at least, although I should come with a health warning because I can be... inapropriate, as my daughter says. I have to say that I am rather disappointed. I dyed my hair for the occasion and the black has bled into the blue and made it decidedly less so meh. I did, however buy a new umbrella Link to comment
Bleu Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The meet is proceeding as expected. So far, no one has run away screaming, though that may yet happen. We've already come up with a few ideas for the next meet in August. Renting London's Albert Hall is only one of them. Link to comment
