  • If you pay for my plane ticket, I am so there!
  • Oh, me too!
  • February 18th? This will take a lot of bumping. And a lot of restraint to keep it on topic for five weeks. I see a challenge!
  • You know what? I might just be in the UK at that time. And someone else would be paying my ticket. And paying me to stay there for two weeks, too. I'll let you know.
  • well I wont be there :( but have a kick ass time and hoist one for me!
  • All the Monkeys in London are having a bash. Pints will be pulled; bananas be mashed. They'll swing from Big Ben and hoot at the Queen - The monkeyest time that Old Blightey has seen. They'll fling all their poo across Leicester Square; Oh, how I wish that I could be there!
  • This sounds cool. I have missed most of the recent meetups, so it would be nice to go - also force me to visit London. (Sometimes I like it, sometimes I really really don't - I'm not used to the crowds anymore). What day of the week is that?
  • I am so there.
  • 'Tis a Saturday, I believe. I shall most certainly endeavour to be there. Because, you know, indie.
  • Splendid stuff, chaps. I shall be delighted to meet you all. Don't worry about this thread going stale, tracicle: I'm going to post a new fpp every couple of days in order to keep it fresh in people's minds.
  • Your double-posting threats don't scare me!
  • Damn you! I was just in London during December for two weeks! That would have been so fun. Oh well, maybe next time...
  • *solitary tear runs down her face*
  • Dammit I hate you London and LA fuckers so much.
  • let the seething begin!
  • Ah, London! London! How I miss thee. Meet well, and raise a pint in my name. *hands Neddy a tissue, puts arm around shoulder*
  • *weeps copiusly into Weezel's shirt, leaving snot stains on the front* Have a good one, y'all.
  • I live in London, can I come? Well you can't stop me!
  • *gnashes what little teeth he has left*
  • So how do we make sure we're recognised? Badges? Do we need some steenking badges?
  • Everyone shows up starkers, that's how you know.
  • Righto, I'll be there.
  • Guys, wear a banana peel. Decorum, y'know.
  • We usually dress as monkeys. PLEASE NOT: Do not dress as an ape. You will be shunned
  • You carry a banana, and/or wear a monkeyfilter shirt. I am sorry for everyone who can't be there, especially that I can't meet them. But I did miss a meetup that was at my own house. (Not my house yet, but I arrived a few weeks later).
  • Whoa, were a bunch of comments deleted from this thread? I could've sworn there were more. I gotta stop taking the brown acid.
  • Nope. Continue the acid, you paranoid hippie.
  • *eyes admin suspiciously, adds her to The List*
  • Cool. I'm so in. I'll try to get an armoured-ant t-shirt, and will accuse flash of being a fanboy-come lately. "Dude, I was into the ant like, years ago".
  • I go home on the 18th. Oh well. No meetup for me.
  • Did this meetup ever happen? What I really came here for was to post this little tidbit about Mayor Ken Livingstone Godwinning a Jewish reporter! Two little words, Mr. Mayor: "I'm sorry".
  • Ha! You bleeding heart liberals always wanting politicians to "apologize" for saying the wrong thing, or intentionally lying to criminally invade soverign oil-rich nations and all that claptrap. They are above the law, damn you! Shouldn't you be watching curling about now anyway young lady??
  • 2-2 at the end of the second. Schoolkids in Newfoundland have been given the day off, so they can watch the glory unfold.
  • Fuck the Evening Standard.
  • Some of have to "work" for a "living" and don't really follow the "Olympics" "anyway", "thanks"!
  • Fuck the Evening Standard. Well!
  • Steal of one at the end of the third end to end the third 3-2. Go Gushue!
  • Another steal of one to end the fourth 4-2. How can you not be watching this?
  • I'm busy watching the cross country skiing-then shoot at stuff event! I think the olympics would get lots higher ratings if there were more events to which the phrase was added "... and then they shoot at stuff." Friggin curling especially, which with the possible exception of competitive pinochle has got to be the most boring game imaginable - it's bocce without the benefit of booze, and in the cold to boot. Plus any sport where sweeping up is an integral part of the event has to consider less a sport and more of a wtf.
  • Yes, if the stones were made from explosives, I would definitely watch.
  • If you were watching, you'd know they were.
  • Dude, that is so zen.
  • It's a big fib, is what it is.
  • *vetos Fes's nomination for honorary hoser*
  • Fuck the Evening Standard. I'm with you in spirit, but I only fuck entities with which I have a loving and committed relationship, which obviously does not include that flabby and unlovely periodical.
