Dodgygeezer has some shoutouts too but they're on his camera, along with some other phantastic photos I hope.

Sorry I had to run so suddenly, guys! At one point I looked down at my watch and realized I was already late.

I can't believe I fat-fingered the post category.

damn you for spoiling the continuity of my response!

I want dodgygeezer to open a haberdashery so I can shop there...

Great fun as always, thanks all who came. We'll do something again in the autumn, promise.

Unfortunately events had conspired against me and I could only be there for a criminally short time. It was good to see everyone though - fine chaps all of them.

Here are the few pictures I managed to take while I was there including a very small number of shoutouts. I look like a twat, but I suppose that's to be expected.

By: keijo

keijo — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 01:32:04 -0800

Thanks, dodgygeezer. And Tarrama, no shoutout but raised many a glass for London in your honour.

Who was the guy in dodgygeezer's IMG_0784? I think that was after I left.

By: dodgygeezer

dodgygeezer — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 01:41:45 -0800

That's flashboy

By: keijo

keijo — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 01:42:20 -0800

Grouse, it's flashboy, after you left.

By: grouse

On lack-of-preview-due-to-live-preview, man, I missed flashboy? :(

By: keijo

keijo — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 02:05:25 -0800

Yup. And it is becoming a tradition to end up in a Spanish bar afterwards. Although I'm still waiting to see P_G dancing on the table with an octopus.

I need to get my ass to London.

By: taz

taz — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 02:44:00 -0800

grouse, what are you doing to NinjaPirate?

Thanks for the shouty! Also, can I get those briefs at the dodgygeezer haberdashery?

By: nthdegx

nthdegx — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 02:45:20 -0800

Ahha excellent! I'd really hoped/meant to come this time (honest!) but went over on my ankle on Friday night and have been in rather a lot of pain since... looks like you had a good laugh. Next time, I promise!

By: grouse

grouse — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 03:33:56 -0800

taz: look at my photo of NinjaPirate for a hint. Other than that, my lips are sealed. What happens on a MeFi Meetup stays at the MeFi Meetup.

Unless there's photographic evidence, in which case, it gets spread throughout the world.

Another thanks here to keijo for organising everything. It was good to meet you all.

I think a special shout has to go to Ninjapirate for his dedication and determination in getting to a London meetup.

So, was there any table dancing in Spanish bars after I left?

By: qwerty155

qwerty155 — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 04:07:29 -0800

Also, Damn you grouse and your advanced image enhancing skillz - I thought I'd got away with that one.
On a similar note, I must note you appear to have also applied enhanced graphic image modification skillz to one of the other images to make me look incredibly drunk.

Funny thing is, I just can't find the inebriation filter on my copy of photoshop. Strange.

By: keijo

keijo — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 04:07:41 -0800

Cheers for everybody who came from further away, (than Bermondsey, in my case), esp. Ninjapirate. Was ready to watch table dancing with my Spanish omelette but sadly, none this time. I'll have to do a better job organising next time.

By: keijo

keijo — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 04:08:34 -0800

Meaning, getting P_G and flashboy more drunk.

By: Tarrama

Tarrama — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 04:22:59 -0800

Excellent keijo, thank you. Next best thing to actually being there, wish I could have joined you all.

By the looks of the pictures it was a great night. Apologies for my non attendance, but somehting came up on the Saturday that made it impossible. Next time though...

Oh yeah, and the other people were nice. I should probably have mentioned that first.

Thanks for the shoutout, qwerty155. Kenko kindly posted a link to it on 9723, the temporary refuge.

Notes arising from the London meetup (now that I've finally made it back home):

1) As dodgygeezer and I have both now realised, the strategy of trying to look like a wanker on camera lacks a certain... class.
2) P_G is tremendously huggable.
3) grouse is probably right.
4) Everyone should try the strawberry beer.

god, you all look so normal. make me home sick. don't know how good you have it when you're there....

By: dodgygeezer

dodgygeezer — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 14:19:24 -0800

Well the reason I look normal is that I had to relinquish my super powers when I married my wife. The things we do for love....

By: flashboy

flashboy — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 19:43:38 -0800

It was good.

Beer is good.

Strawberry beer, it turns out, is even gooder.

Specklet, Lawrence, KS gave you a shoutout. We feel hurt, and are saddened.

Specks: Kansas loves you.

By: grouse

I gave Specklet my only shoutout of the night. Hototogisu's attempt to cover all bases doesn't compare. Specklet ain't no hollaback girl.

By: hototogisu

hototogisu — Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:50:39 -0800

Hmmm, I see that my love has been spurned. grouse--out back, five minutes.

By: hototogisu

hototogisu — Tue, 26 Jul 2005 00:51:23 -0800

actually, I should add that that was several shoutouts in aggregate form. *wipes tear from eye*

By: Specklet

Specklet — Tue, 26 Jul 2005 10:29:02 -0800

Oh no! I missed my first one? Crap. So sorry, hototogisu! And I of course forgive the aggregate.
