Round-up time, who's coming?
Posted by
arsepuppy, 12:45, 27th October 2003:
Dunno. I've got deadlines next week and I stupidly forgot to do a single bit of work for them. D'oh!
(That's not a no, BTW)
Posted by
Sul, 12:47, 27th October 2003:
I'm coming for sure mo fo!
Posted by
Rosie, 13:04, 27th October 2003:
I'm coming.
Posted by
Rosie, 13:04, 27th October 2003:
So is my sister.
No idea. Dont know where to meet. Dont know how to get there.
If I get directions (not from Sul) then I shall attempt it.
Posted by
Sul, 13:18, 27th October 2003:
Rosie: Rock on! She likes tall skinny guys with drink problems right?
Foggie: :/ yeah. I'll stay out of this one.
Posted by
Rosie, 13:23, 27th October 2003:
No, Sul - Thats me.
I'm a sad loner with no friends. Well, not really but none of them are geeky like me. Even the missus isn't interested and she owns a computer!
So, barring a last minute offer from a group of people off the internet to befriend me and not let me stand in the corner, I'm probably not going.
Posted by
RUSS, 13:45, 27th October 2003:
i am undecided, i wouldn't mind going but i think it may be a bit weird going on my own and noone i know will want to come
Posted by
arsepuppy, 13:51, 27th October 2003:
If my suspicions are right and I get chucked by the mrs this week, I may have to come :(
Posted by
Sul, 13:55, 27th October 2003:
EMP: We wont let you stand in the corner
RUSS: Come along. We rock. You'll regret it if you dont.
AP: She hear about the lapdancer?
Rosie, Foggy, Ap, anyone else who's not sure of how to get there, I would imagine that after work on the friday, i'll trail into waterloo and meet sul and we can hang on there for anyone on the way down.
(an exchange of phone numbers might be useful to avoid the problems we had last time)
Russ and EMP, come down and you can both stand in the corner together ;)
Dont think my train goes into Waterloo. AP, will go through Reading?
Halloween Parties are fun. I am going to one on Thursday and Friday night. I wished I could attend this one. Please post pictures for us to see.
If you get into Paddington its just a few stops on the circle line to Kings Cross.

cal, 16:10, 27th October 2003:
Here's the invite, complete with map from kings cross:
russ/emp: it's a b3ta party, so there'll be hundreds of geeks there. usually quite packed
Posted by
arsepuppy, 16:20, 27th October 2003:
Sul: Yeah, she did :(
Sorry to hear about that AP. Hope it goes ok.

AP: Sucks :(
Posted by
Rosie, 16:30, 27th October 2003:
SEE YOU THERE RUSS
w00t
(was it the hundreds of geeks that tempted you?)
Oh and AP, told you it was a mistake not to sleep with her.
Posted by
arsepuppy, 16:32, 27th October 2003:
Should be ok, just me overreacting.

RUSS, 16:35, 27th October 2003:

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. The bartender says "What is this? Some kind of joke?"
Looks like I'll be coming then as at least one person has agreed to talk to me.
Send an email to
eatmypiano@yahoo.co.uk or add me to Messenger at
maximumhigh@hotmail.com if you want to get my mobile phone number. Photo is in my profile.
I suggest we meet somewhere at some time. What does everyone else think?

Ahem:
Maximum High?
May I ask why?
Posted by
arsepuppy, 17:09, 27th October 2003:
Why "Grim..."??
;)
(rhetorical)
It's the name of the Shed Seven album I was listening to while rejecting suggestions from MSN such as "Steve_Thompson_17392018743" and "Eat_My_Piano_174920129193".
I could just as easily have been
manequinhandtrapdoorireminder@hotmail.com
No drug references. Sorry to disappoint.
Will everyone at this party be talking 'geek talk'??
Posted by
arsepuppy, 17:11, 27th October 2003:
I hope not.
Phew..cause I would get bored
EMP, my mate is called Stevie Thompson. Plays footie for Rangers (fuckin turncoat!)
Won't be much of a party.

RUSS, 17:14, 27th October 2003:
ERR NOTHING
I'm currently
playing Rugby for the English national team in Australia.
And my sisters name is Emma Thompson.
And you can't argue with the first thing returned as a
Googlism.
Posted by
Sul, 09:14, 28th October 2003:
Meeting places to choose from:
In Kings Cross Station we have
The Shires Bar and
Coopers. Both likely to be fucking rammo at that time on a friday.
Then just outside we have
The Dun A Ri Bar and
The Flying Scotsman round the corner which are handy because they're on the same road as
Babushka
Times:
I finish work at 4:30 and as Vic said, we'll probably meet up around Waterloo. If anyone else is coming into Waterloo we could meet you there. (I will provide a phone number to call this time)
So what time is everyone else thinking about getting to a meeting point.
Posted by
cal, 09:44, 28th October 2003:
i'll meet you guys about 6ish?
Posted by
Sul, 10:03, 28th October 2003:
where?
Once you've all decided, let me know and I'll be there. I only live about 3 miles away so I can meet you anywhere.
Well, anywhere local. Not Aberdeen for example.
Posted by
Grim..., 08:56, 29th October 2003:
Cal - I have mailed you (to your office) a cheque for £20 so you can buy everyone a drink.
But I don't know if it will get there with the postal strike =[

Sul, 09:00, 29th October 2003:
He's just going to edit your post on spend it all on sweets you fool!!!

This is the second time I'm writing this ffs. Bloody interweb.
Here is what I propose:
Vic and I will be in the
Duke of Wellington from around 4:35. I guess we'll be the first one's there. We hang around for people who want to meet here 'til about 6:30 where we head to Kings Cross and stay in
The Shires Bar and wait for anyone not planning to meet at Waterloo. When all are there we have a chat and then head over to the do.
My phone number is 07763551132. If you get lost give me a buzz and I'll either direct you or come find you.
Anyone have any objections to this?
Posted by
Rosie, 08:53, 31st October 2003:
I might be a bit late. I'll ring you Sul when I get to Kings Cross so that you can look out for me.
:)

i shall join you in the shires bar at 6:30
Posted by
Sul, 08:58, 31st October 2003:
Wouldnt be the first time I've hung around Kings Cross eyeing up women. Only this time I wont be thinking "I wonder if she does reacharounds for a fiver?". Honest. I wont.
;)
So what time are you looking at Rosie-dear?
Posted by
Rosie, 09:01, 31st October 2003:
I'm not sure. I have to go see my mum first and I dont finish work till about 4.30 - 5ish.
Maybe about 9?
Posted by
Sul, 09:06, 31st October 2003:
cool. Phone me or Vic the farmer when you get there :)

Obviously I wont beable to come, but when you have all decided what time you will all get together, I will send an SMS to Sul, bearing in mind that I am 2 hrs ahead of u lot!

Too busy, I'm afraid (gotta go down to "the dungeon" where they keep the journals and newspapers)
Yes indeed people, we have reached the famous Fourth stage of Iamcal meets. the stages are as follows:
Stage 1: Someone suggests a meeting.
Stage 2: Everyone voices approval and declares their interest.
Stage 3: People begin to Hedge bets, I'm probably going, I should be able to go, etc.
Stage 4: Not going.
Stage 5: Same old faces.

You better be turning up Rosie. I've had my hair cut for the occasion.
Might have to be a bit flexible on the half four sul, I have to go out to Earls Court at half two for a survey that i'm not concerned about in the slightest.
Posted by
Sul, 14:06, 31st October 2003:
Oh well. Cheaper first round I suppose.
I should make it by then.

Good work Sir!
I appear to have aquired a giant purple Bomb.
Posted by
RUSS, 10:51, 1st November 2003:
FUCKING BRILLIANT how did you get it out? ididn't realise it was purple !! :)
I covered Dan as he carried it out. It also stopped some bloke kicking off in the KFC afterwards. the fucking thing weighs about thirty pounds.

Posted by
Sul, 15:32, 1st November 2003:
Shit. Didnt we steal a blowup trident too? What happened to that?
I think i gave it away. I just found a little metal Heineken plate-type thing. what a bunch of thieving bastards we are. I should have kept the magic-mans three of clubs as well.
Posted by
Sul, 20:09, 1st November 2003:
Events from last night (might not be in order):
Vic and I meet a man in a skeleton suit on the tube. We ask him if it was dress down friday and didnt he beat up the karate kid?
Vic plays musical ashtrays with the barstaff at the shires bar as he trys to hide the fact that he's smoking two inches within the stupidly sectioned non-smoking area.
Cal turns up about 45 minutes late tut tut.
Vic and I help contribute to the b3ta party by helping to write the raffle tickets as, curiously, no shop in the area had any.
We wait but no sign of EMP :( RUSS is going to turn up later.
We head to Babushka.
We meet the lovely Pep/Denise.
RUSS turns up at The Shires Bar. Whoops we'd already left..sorry :/
RUSS turns up at Babushka. Despite having gone to the shires and then have to find his way to babushka he doesnt shout once all night. NOT ONCE!
Cal goes off selling raffle tickets. He does this for most of the evening, poor lad.
We meet the lovely Banana, I'm not sure if we caught her real name. After a while she nearly pushes me off the balcony.
Hopefully not on purpose.
We claim the magic-man from another group of people and proceed to try to fuck up every one of his tricks.
Vic manages it in a stylish and slightly ironic way by disappearing mid-trick. Cue the taunts of "You made him disappear?!??! YOU ROCK!!!" and "That was much better than I was expecting!" etc.
Cal draws the raffle. We win nothing. Cal keeps all the sweets for himself but gives us a pack of penguins. I try to use these for chatting up the ladies and jumping the bog queue... with no luck either way.
Vic and I steal a 30lb bomb/christmas decoration (it's lucky they never had anything stronger than carling on tap or it would have for certain been dropped off the balcony).
errrm
Vic, RUSS and I shoot the breeze over glasses of champagne... for some reason.
Its a bit blury now.
RUSS leaves
We all pose for a few photos. Talk to a few b3tans.
Its very blury now
No Rosie or sister :(
Vic and I leave. Big fuck off ball in tow.
Nearly get into a fight in KFC.
Vic and I promise a cabby we wouldnt eat in his car.
We eat in his car.
RUSS wakes up a long way from home on the train and hs to go to work a few hours later.
Did I miss anything?
Oh we got badges too :)
hehe, i disappeared to the bar with his card. now THATS magic!
We also smoked in his cab. other than that i think thats an accurate account of the night.
Posted by
cal, 20:21, 1st November 2003:
thank god it was champagne. i thought vic was drinking wine o_O
Posted by
Sul, 20:24, 1st November 2003:
NOT ON MY WATCH!
I don't remember her, despite the fact my glasses appear to be about to fall on her.
Posted by
Sul, 20:27, 1st November 2003:
Oh also, for the information of the lads, most of the b3ta ladies are fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!
Posted by
Sul, 20:49, 1st November 2003:
OOOOOOOOH I remember her!!! We were standing near the bar on the lower floor. She had some sort of rig of fairy lights round her neck.
Posted by
Redmaiden, 21:24, 1st November 2003:
What happened to Rosie? Did she not go?
She looks a bit like a Spanish Flamenco dancer. And it also looks like i'm not that interested in what she's saying.
The Bomb gets around!

Sul, 22:37, 1st November 2003:
who's that ugly bastard on the right?
Dunno, he looks pretty drunk though.
Posted by
Sul, 22:51, 1st November 2003:
He looks smug enough to have grabbed something of the bird in front (he didnt) and got away with it. She looks shocked yet happy about the ordeal.

Sounds like fun.
I watched Dog Soldiers and drank beer. That was pretty good too. Dog Soldiers was quality stuff. Couple of gaping plot holes but it's about werewolves so I think we can let that go :D
Went to see Alien: Directors Cut last night and it's one of the most perfect cinema experiences ever. An utter joy from start to finish. Looks stunning and is as tense as hell. 10/10.
Posted by
Grim..., 10:16, 3rd November 2003:
Holes in Dog Soldiers? What are they?
Posted by
beargod, 10:33, 3rd November 2003:
there can't be any plot in dog soldiers, i mean holes, really :)
Ok, not really gaping I suppose but;
***SPOILERS FOLKS****
Why did she stay in human form so long? They weren't going anywhere anyway.
That house filled up with gas VERY quickly. And gas always sinks to the lowest level so he would have been toast. God this ones petty.
They should have hacked off the special forces guys head before he changed.
***End****
Didn't make me enjoy it any less. It was very very good indeed. Very very tense and the werewolves were excellent. They got ballet dancers to play them in order to get the floaty, elegant animal type movement.
There is no spoon. :D
I said very very twice in a row there. Very very poor writing that.

Bit bored of the fireworks constantly being fired, there is a a firework store at the end of my road, and I expect the pikies are buying them like mad
