Say something offensive to Kos from Me.
Jane was a fan of your work and now I think she full comprehends what I meant when I said we were essentially a bunch of geeks.
Had a great time - just got back into the house. Can't stay long as we have to be away by 7:00am tomorrow so I'll post pics tomorrow. Lovely meeting you all though, just sorry we had to shoot a little early.
I had no idea that you were you until after you'd gone! For shame.
But yes, good times. Hope everyone else had a good night!

That was good fun.
Still eight or nine staying as I left, but I'm off to my parents tomorrow and lots to do, so I need to get sleep.
Good to see everyone, and a nice sized headcount.
It'll probably take me until tomorrow evening, if not Monday, to get around to putting the photos online. Hope at least some are ok.
Anyway, at the station now so better post this.
I posted the (few) photos I took on Teh Forum Facebook group. I'm sure I took more than that...
Absolute pleasure to finally meet you Matt.
Merry Xmas etc.
(appled)
Good to see everyone. Except Ally. Leaving a pint? What a wanker.
What the hell pint did I leave?! I lost track of you lot and suddenly realised I needed to get the last train home. NO PINTS WERE INVOLVED.
LOL!
Cunt.
Now /that/ was a meat.
Good to see you again Edd.
(hug)
Everyone was sure you were coming back to the Fitzroy, so Milko got you one. But however you want to justify it, it's cool. Clubbing any more seals when you get back?
EP, always a pleasure. Even if you suck at Pure.

Nice to meet you Ally.
Thanks for popping by.
Merry Xmas etc.

The scores don't lie

you were so in the pub right behind me!
ahaha, good ole fashioned meat that, good to see y'all. Congrats to Gary for the crown of "most utterly shitfaced by a distance", hats off.
Morning all from Serg Towers. Grand meat - thank you EP - and lovely to put drunken, leering faces to several new forumites. Then back to Serge & Elena's for a night of smelly cheese, home-made Plum Brandy and Kos' stentorian snoring. Ricard00 found a novel way of silencing him though - seems you can't snore with your mouth full.
Serguiuiuuiuiu is making us breakfast then we're off for our trains. More from National Expresses wifi if I can be arsed.
It was a pleasure meeting you all, and I'm only very slightly hungover, which is a bonus.
If only more of you had turned up at the agreed time, you might have been witness to the very first introduction between me and EP, which went something like:
Me: Shall we do formal introductions then?
EP: If you tell me who you are.
Me: Matt
EP: <pause> Matt!
Nice to finally put voices to all the text and signatures, even if they do sound nothing like I had in my head. Steve, you are the best Polite and soft spoken Yorkie I've ever met and Kos, you are easily the least Scottish Scot I have ever met. Pete, get a hair cut.
So when are we doing the Alton Towers Xen's house meet?
Hmm. Or, maybe our next meet should be in Paisley?
I second the proposal for a Deep Fried Meat in Scottishesland, ideally convening at Trig's house. Given that we're not real, he shouldn't mind us plundering his potato store.
We're now on the train, basking in the warmth of National Expresses wifi. Thanks again everybody, and especially Serg and Elena for being the perfect hosts. The fry up has worked its magic and I feel almost human again.
Voltane, sorry I missed your spectacular fall over the bin bags. I was only told about it afterwards. At the time Ricard00 and Kos were convinced that you had continued Mouse's fine tradition of Meat limb fracture. So if you've woken up mystified about the black bruises on your shins, that was what happened.
well that was fun. thanks goes to mike and tina for lettung me crash at there place. good to see you all again. i do hope that gary is ok today!
Kos you still are the worlds worst scottish person!
now if only I can get rid of this hangover then that will be grand.
