As a newby I can't help noticing that some people here obviously know each other in the real world.

So, I'd like to know who knows who and how you know them.

Sorry, I'm just nosy.

My girlfriend is Redmaiden
My university friends are Beargod and Gobbo
Redmaiden and I spent a week in Holland with Miki and Gobbo
I once went to a party with Chris (and Gobbo, Beargod and Redmaiden were there too)
Posted by WarHead, 13:42, 20th November 2003:
 
Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps it's just everyone's familiarity that makes it seem like they've met.
Posted by cal, 13:43, 20th November 2003:

I swear the pints were green, maybe they used food colouring or something, I never checked to see if my pee was green the next morning, would of been so weird if it was heh
Posted by WarHead, 14:11, 20th November 2003:
 
Once again, thanks for sharing.

I went on a netmeet with some people from a mailing list I was on. They were socially inadequate and only really had one topic of conversation. The whole thing was totally embarrassing and I swore I'd never go on one again.

That's it.
Posted by Rosie, 14:16, 20th November 2003:
 
heh!

You didn't cop off with anyone then warhead?

I've met jlittle, cal, vic, RUSS, arsepuppy, chris, donnie and a few people that dont post much.
Posted by WarHead, 14:21, 20th November 2003:
 
As a matter of fact I could have copped of with a lady who was hot to do the nasty with me (as she kept telling me in her e-mails), but I can't be disloyal to Mrs WarHead. (I didn't fancy her that much anyway.)

Yes. Very much so. I am VERY old you know.

Does it matter?
Posted by Rosie, 14:34, 20th November 2003:
 
Yeah, but thats his side of the story kitty. He might of given her a little snog and thought that "it wasn't cheating".


*joke- dont be offended WH!*

No, it doesn't matter Warhead........



How old are you though? give us a clue....
Posted by WarHead, 14:37, 20th November 2003:
 
Ha - I'm not offended. I am just a very loyal person with old fashioned values. I think it's best that way. Playing away will only end in tears for someone.
Posted by Rosie, 14:39, 20th November 2003:
 
I'm curious now....
Posted by WarHead, 14:39, 20th November 2003:
 
I'll tell you how old I am, but first, have a guess at my age based on the kind of stuff I've been posting.

(This is fun.)
Posted by Kezza, 14:40, 20th November 2003:
 
hmmmm I reckon 27 :)
Posted by Sul, 14:40, 20th November 2003:
 
46?
Posted by Rosie, 14:40, 20th November 2003:
 
I can't guess your age!

If you say your really old then I'm thinking over 50 just coz my mum is.

But my guestimate would be 30 something or late 20s.

am i right?
Posted by Rosie, 14:41, 20th November 2003:
 
do you have kids?
Posted by Kitty, 14:41, 20th November 2003:
 
I'll have a go tho don't be annoyed if i'm waaaaaay out ..... 45?
Posted by WarHead, 14:42, 20th November 2003:
 
I'd like a few more people to guess before I reveal all. ..... but if there's no one around I'll spill the beanz in a few mins.

Posted by Rosie, 14:44, 20th November 2003:
 
oh! Oh!

see, friday has children and shes not that old - i don't think anyway...


I'm changing my guess to 4o something..

LMAO - what else could I tell you that might make you revise your estimates, I wonder.
Posted by Rosie, 14:46, 20th November 2003:
 
what colour is your hair?

If its grey I may have another rethink!

cal: i wasn't feeling that old until now :(

*sniggers and points at kitty* :D
Posted by WarHead, 14:50, 20th November 2003:
 
The hair is getting pretty grey now, but that happens to quite a lot of youngish people, so it's not a reliable guide. I think if I told you the ages of my kids it would be too easy.

OK - my musical preferences are ..... progressive ROCK. You know, Jethro Tull, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis (before they went crap), and The Beatles, The Stones.

Is that any help?

Breakfast is usually cereal and orange juice.

I mostly seem to be going to bed between midnight and 2am these days.

Yeah - I'm not changing mine.

49 it is.

Posted by Rosie, 15:01, 20th November 2003:
 
See he maybe going to bed late coz hes got a baby. BUT, My dad is 50 something as has a 1 year old daughter (i discovered the other day), So he may not be a young dad...

i was going to put up a photo of the doc and arsepuppy on the night they met but i dont have any photos with both of them in it. i once kidnapped uncle dr lucid and took him to staffordshire though.

THE doc has never been to staff. Unless it was under the influence of Date RapeDrugs. I have met the Ass Puppy but not after I met him on this site. I didn't really know who he was and he was introduced to me as "Mr Senor de la "ass master" Bumdog" or something like that so I didn't make it to the end with my span of attention but I would quite like to come to an imafcolllll meating and slice all present into thin slices, or generally banter with all.

no really i have met jeff and arsepuppy.

not met anyone else

unless than coincindence.

I was going to ask what happened to angeldelight. Where is she?
Posted by Brock, 09:30, 7th May 2004:
 
Dunno. She was ok last time that I spoke to her, just had stopped posting here. She was looking to move to Ibiza, or get another job here at the time.

I assume that she's got one, by now, or I would have heard, I think. My computer shat the other week, and I lost her damn e-mail address (among many others), so I am stuck with guessing.
