Damn, I really should have got there earlier...

Thanks to everyone who showed up, hello to everyone I met. Special thanks to Markie for organising it and also to that person whose name I've forgotten who let me have my first ever go on Katamari instead of packing up his PS2 at the end.

Just FYI, guys, my stuff was all insured, so it's all good. Just gonna phone and report it now, then mum is going to sort it all out, since its all under her insurance

Ok, cryptic question for the guys I was talking to upstairs about various motivational bits and pieces. I'm not naming names as they may not want me to, but here's a question for them...

Who has taken at least one action based on what we talked about then?

They say that knowledge is power...

.. that's bollocks.

It's the application of that knowledge that counts.

ACTION is power.

Still waiting for those PMs guys..

Glad to hear that Rannie but it's still really really strange. I can't see any fellow 'Softies removing it (unless accidentally) and I was amazed at how 'safe' Oxford seemed to be. Had vision of returning to a car with no wheels but the whole place seemed to be really quiet.

Was nice to meet you too - sorry for having to drag Amy away so soon. Trust you had an equally shit journey home - the spray on the M1 was a firking nightmare.

Glad randomdudes laptop was insured.

I think next time I'll get more of the Magic Social Lubricant(tm) down me earlier. Combine that with the t-shirts with names on and I might be able to remember names for more than 10 seconds.

Leekfiend was really nice, LTL was really welcoming, Bog was physically shockingly different to what I had been expected - I had kinda expected shorter, browner hair and a beard.

I finally got the hang of leaping on people and demanding names - unfortunately a few victims weren't forum people but interesting to talk to ANYWAY.

I was really surprised by just how well the DS works at something like this - the game sharing Just Works.

Highlight of the evening was probally the spontaneous singing of the Firefly theme with Bog and getting a retaliatory lick in.

Markie was ace - did a great job organising something like that.

Phew! that's good to hear under the circumstances ranny.. make sure they send you a ninja-specced machine as a replacement

I do believe I have officially recovered, and I had an ace time!

Betamax, D & Pyroxian - it was fantastic to meet up with fellow WoW guildies ahead of the big London Raid

Zath & LTL - always a pleasure to have a natter

RiK - The only person I had the presence of mind to introduce myself to, and I didn't need to... d'oh!

Bog - I owe you muchly huge thanks, without your help I would not have been able to go in the first place. You are a legend, mate... or possibly a leg-end, whichever you prefer

Always remember:

Moon Drinks.

I want to say that even though I'd never met any of you before or even spoken to any of you online, everyone was so friendly with me and I had a fantastic time. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. Now I know why lowey (my darling hubby) loves this place so much!

Cheers guys!

Oh, that reminds me - I owe a huge thankyou to Spooneh for explaining Numberwang to me!!

Fuck, didn't notice this thread here.

/me makes a mental note to look harder in future

Great to see the photos, "Mrs Lowey" and I had a top night meeting you all and getting drunk

It was just a shame about the ridiculously salty chips we had with our veggie burgers :-/

Funny meeting some of you, most of you looked absolutely nothing like how I had expected you to look.

Anyway you're all a bunch of sterling cunts and I can't wait for the next RV. Which, I might say, happens to start on my birthday (as well as Leekfiend's it would seem). I demand my name be put on it

*Hugs*

I am utterly crap at names so i'll be honest and say I can't be totally sure without seeing a picture of you - and alas you're not in the Llamasoft Gallery.

Perhaps you can point me in the direction of a photo of you?

I think I met most people briefly but it was quite hard absorbing all the new names (particularly as it was usually a case of remembering both the forum name and the IRL name).
