• Waaaaah! Don't leave us Neddy! I mean, I know you have to and everything, and it'll be really cool for you and all but still Waaaaaah! We're going to miss you! Wish I could come to the meetup, but will be with you in spirit. And come back again soon now, ya hear? Waaaaah!
• Leaving what? Who?
• Fine. Just go. Go on. I'm not stopping you. *sniff* *blinks*
• What's with all those London meetups? People being social? It's contrary to the Ways of the Internets, I tell you. Good luck, Al, whatever you're moving on to...
• I've got to go back to work on the 29th Sept, in Singapore and I dun wanna. Aw, moth, I'll try to come back sometime and see you (^_^) Thanks for the well wishes everyone!
• I am very sorry I never had the chance to meet you - stupid school work keeping me in the US.
• They have the Internets in Singapore, too, you know.
• Yeah, great big fucking 1 million Mbps connections too (slight exaggeration for effect). The 'Nedstra will be able to swim down those connections!
• Yeah, but you can't knock back a pint with somebody over the Internets. No worries, jb, I'll save up and try to make it back here agian (^_^)
• Can't share a pint over yon Internets? What?
• Oh noes! I'm sorry to hear that, Alnedra. At least you'll have instant access to char kway teow to make up for the move.
• I fully expeect to steal Alnedra away from you English pigdogs and hold her hostage in New Zealand. Eventually. Without actual physical stealing/hostage-taking.
• Without actual physical stealing/hostage-taking. It must be some Zen-bashi kinda thing ;)
• Zen-bashi, that's me. Are you actually still thinking of coming over here?
• So, anyone interested in a meetup then? Oh HELLS yes. You know I'm there. Capt., if you knew, if you ONLY knew...
• Yep. I'll be making applications once I get back to Singapore. Weezel, great! Now, where shall we go....
• We can't be there but the least ye can do, would be to have a few pints on our behalf! (swinging from chandeliers optional)
• I think it's been too long since I last said this. I love you guys. *big grin*
• As to where we should go, my heart votes the Ritz, but my wallet votes something quite different. We'll see if we can't strike a balance. So who else is in? Quid? Kitfisto? Tannhouser (sp)?
• Tannhauser. Plegmund perhaps not back from his holiday, and quid's away this week till next I think. Umm... SlightlyFoxed? Pallas Athena I promise not to talk your ear off this time!? The Carolingian? LandofGreenGinger? *scratches head* Flashboy!
• Ooops! I had promised a Cambridge meetup, hadn't I? Can we have a Cambridge meetup either the weekend of the 9th to 11th or the 16th to 18th? Actual weekend days might be better from a punting perspective. When are people free?
• the weekend of the 9th to 11th would be lovely. And I forget, was there discussions of accomodations? Or would this be a day trip? still don't know my English geography worth a hoot
• Cambridge is about 45 minutes out of London on the train, so it should be quite possible to make a day trip. However, we can also put a rather large number of people up in our house, if you don't mind crowding in.
• oooh, that sounds nice. However, I can't guarantee anything until possibly the middle of next week, as it all depends on my dissertation. I really do want to have a look at Cambridge before I go.
• oh, that sounds lovely. let's shoot for Cambridge
• I'm hiding out in Cornwall until the heat dies down and the rozzers stop staking out my gaff, but I should be back in London around the 14th/15th ish. I think. Beer, beer, magical beer.
• flashboy's on the lam!
• I got some spare rooms here, flashy baby. You wanna come over? *flutter eyelids* Jes as long as you got da dough, ya know?
• Neddy's a hooker!
• No, I'm not! I'm a moll! *chews gum*
• a gum moll?
• Close 'nuff. Aside from the fact that I'm terrified of gum, and I can't be seductive if you put a gun to my head. A gun! Get it! Gun...heheheh..ahem.
• I could do London mid-month, but I don't think I could manage Cambridge, alas. Sorry you're going, Alnedra - come back soon if you can.
• *bursts into tears cos he can't go* *pulls himself together*
• Ok, people. Can we vote to see what weekend we want to do in Cambridge? If Alnedra can't do either weekend, then maybe she can come up some other time and we can have the Cambridge meetup after the 22nd, when jb arrives. First choise, though, would be to have an earlier meetup with Alnedra there.
• If it's a weekend, it can only be the coming one. Since I'm leaving Saturday night (17th), I can't do that weekend. Plegmund, if you don't mind, maybe we can try for a small meetup in London (^_^) quid can probably make it and we can just have a quick pint or two.
• No - I want three, minimum.
• Why don't one of you monkeys across the pond bring a video camera and post a video clip? I wanna hear your groovie accents and see you drunk. Somebody's got to have iMovie or Final Cut Pro or Premier. If you need help doing so, write me at my email address in my profile and I'll get you up to speed.
• Sooo...what's the verdict? This weekend approaches rapidly, so if it is going to go through, it must do so soon.
• Prozzies!
• Tell me where to go and when, that's all (^_^)
• prozzy!
• *whacks kitfisto* I already said, I'm a moll! *sticks chewed gum on kitfisto's underside*
• I've put a new Cambridge meetup thread on the front page so people who aren't following here can get in on it.
• *picks at chewing gum for just a little too long*
• Well, can I see the London monkeys before I go? How about Friday, 16th? Spice of Life again, or another pub?
• Works for me. But Cambridge is (unfortunately) trixy.
• 16th should be OK for me.
• Hey quiddy, I hear Cambridge girls are easy...
• Which is why it's so tricksy. Get it? Tricks? All right, all right, you don't have to shove.
• *bdum-tish*
• Are we still on for this?
• I hope so. What time and where? Quidnunc, flashboy?
• Pick a time, I'll be there.
• 1649.
• Oh, and dress up as Charles I while you're at it.
• Oh, I travelled for to olden times, Hey nonny nonny noe! And alighted in 1649 Hey nonny nonny noe! And monkeys there I did meet up Hey nonny nonny noe! And with rich beer did fill my cup Hey nonny nonny noe! Oh hey, hey nonny noe! Hey nonny nonny nee! Capt. Renault and Kitfisto, Suck my fucking pee-pee.
• *grows giant wart and a dislike of the theatre* Off with his head!
• You're going to have to show me where it is, quid.
• *SQUAWK!* show 'im yer pee-pee! show 'im yer pee-pee! *SQUAWK!*
• She's a game old bird.
• Right the, Friday, Spice of Life. What time?
• What suits people? I could do 6.30 if that's not too early.
• I think 6:30-7ish is probably best. I don't get off of work until 6 anyway, and Neddy and I discussed 6-7 last night. Sounds good to all?
• I'll just be sitting in my house. With £3 in the bank. Watching shite TV. And looking forward to a shite weekend to round of an extra shite week. You kids have fun. I'll be alright... *punches self in face*
• Err - are we talking about tonight?
• *bursts into hot tears of frustration*
• Err - are we talking about tonight? Yup.
• I have to go look at a house tonight as I will soon be homeless, but can meet you up later (say, 8-ish) if you'll still be about?
• "Pick a time, I'll be there." Huh! I'd be amazed if the evening concluded before 8.
• I may have spoken much too quick, Hey nonny nonny noe! When I said that you a time should pick, Hey nonny nonny noe! But I'll be there if a little late, Hey nonny nonny noe! And to miss you will be poor kitfisto's fate, Hey nonny nonny noe! Oh! Hey! Hey nonny noe! Poor kitfisto shall not go! Oh! Hey! Hey nonny nee! But you poor bastards will have to put up with me.
• Excellent. I'll see you all then, then.
• I'd like to say that that poem has made me feel better. But it hasn't. *Bangs head on desk repeatedly*
• *SQUAWK!* kitfisto's a loser! kitfisto's a loser! *SQUAWK! whistle*
• Shut it, scoper!
• *flaps wings, bites kitfisto on the nose*
• *belm*
• Have fun, everybody. I can't make it down to London today.
• Me neither.
• well bah on you then. BAH! Don't make me release the Koko-bird on you!
• Releasing the Koko-bird doesn't bug me as much as the Koko-bird releasing.
• hmmm, that paper could use a changing. *wrinkles nose, suddenly realizes he's needed elsewhere*
• OK, looks like just past nine o'clock over there. Still time to give a shoutout to the ol' Captain. Anyone..? Anyone..? Anyone see this before..?
• Helloooooooo...
• Anyone here..?
• Echo! Ec-ho... Ec-ho... Ec-ho...
• Pinch hitting for Cal Ripken, Jr... jr... jr... Number 16... 16... 16... Capt. Ren-AULT! oh..! oh..!
• So how'd it go, monkeys?
• God! I really should read monkeyfilter more often Sorry, Alnedra, for missing you again
• God! I really should read monkeyfilter more often Sorry, Alnedra, for missing you again
• Well? So, what's your story, quid? Did you find a place? Are details and pics soon to be forthcoming? Hope it was the perfect evening for Alnedra!!!
• What gives, is everyone nursing hangovers? I want pictures and such!
• Erm... Here's a noisy, poor quality avi file (9.6 MB). Sorry. I might be able to retrieve some other pictures later.
• It was an agreeable evening along the well-established lines. Just Quid, Weezel, Alnedra and me. I gather Quid's house-hunting was unsuccesful.
• Hello everybody! I'm in Singapore again (*sigh*). Really glad that I could meet Plegmund, Quid and Weezel again before I left. And I'm sorry I missed everyone else.
• *waves at Singapore*
• *waves back now that she's back in the same hemisphere*
• Nice video, Pleggers. I love the smile you're left with at the end.
• Indeed. But I can't help but notice a lack of shoutouts. Not that I'm at all preoccupied with shoutouts, you understand. Allright, I am. So what? I just crave validation, is that so wrong? WHAT. Quit lookin' at me like that!
• I'm sorry, Capt. Renault. *scuff toe on ground* We were just having a drink, is all, and none of us brought any pens or paper along. Can you give me your snail mail address? I'll send you something from sunny Singapore!
• Oh, the shoutouts? Yes... the shoutouts. Indeed. Hmmm.
• /cold stare
• Sorry, my shoutout pen was all worn out from the Cambridge meet. That, and I'm an asshole.
