Be Excellent To Each Other

@Grim... I adopted her a giraffe a few years ago and she was very please but thanks for the suggestion. The problem now is finding George a wife who can live with us in the house,is about the same size as him and looks like a giraffe. I have seen tall metal ones before but Jen told me that George wouldn't like the look of them as he likes a traditional giraffe.

Your out of your cage , you can say things like "Thank you Grim... but" , and your messages can be muuuuuch longer :-)

Hey, Gill's gonna be there! Nice one.

Oh, plus the rest of you and stuff, I'm sure.

I'm mently scard frm th hrfic mrdrs thot up by gaywd and nw cnt writ nrmly agen.
Jeez oh I'm terrible at that. One of my friends shortens her words to a ridiculous degree to fit it all in one text and I usually just end up calling her because I can't be assed deciphering it.

In a ghillie suit and peeing on the roof no less, I really am going all out for this.

At least you won't need a name tag to be spotted.

If the suit is good then she shouldn't be spotted at all.

I can't believe I actually read this thread! I was hoping it would help me plan what/where we are doing/staying in Manchester.

19 pages and all I know for sure is that the meet is (probably) going to be in Manchester in February!

Any idea which area of Manchester things are likely to be happening? I'd like to book a hotel sooner rather than later. As it's my birthday, I'm planning on making Andy pay for a nice room and take me to a great restaurant the night before.

IT'S NEXT YEAR, WOMAN!

I still maintain we should all book the same hotel and play hide and seek. I am scared I might miss something fun otherwise.

What?!? You're trying to bagsy Alberto's spare room by playing the "you'll have two lesbians in your spare room" card, woman!

I was in a really lush hotel in Manchester a few months ago - it was decorated like the inside of a whorehouse. Mal Maison, or something? We should stay there.

I live nowhere near Manchester.

Malmaison is pretty central and very near the train station, if I'm thinking of the right one? Dunno what price range it is though.

What was the Portland Street Ibis that everyone stayed in for the MB meet like? You know, the one Darth tried to throw me out of the window of You know we're going to end up in Fab Cafe anyway, being such a bunch of geeks...

£160+ per night for a standard double room, from the look of it. Too much, probably.

Yeah, I'd have guessed 3 figures and upwards... it overlooks some of the nice canal-y bits too.

I used to walk past the Ibis pretty much every day.

Good(ish) times. Lived on Sackville Street, innit.

And yet, I bet you don't know if it's any good or not

To be fair, I want to throw you out of a window every time I see you.

Of course not. I walked past it!

Oh no, I was wrong, it is on a Saturday. Marvelous, carry on.

Trust your instincts.

I don't remember typing that, but yes, I will go with my instincts.

I was expecting **BREAKING NEWS** in the thread, slightly disappointed to find it was just a scouser with a bad back blundering around like the most wretched of oafs

Who are you calling a scouser?

Alright, alright, caaaaaalm down etc

Interesting that being called Scouse is considered a worse insult than being called "the most wretched of oafs"

Yeah, weird that.

He's not a Scouser, he's a Geordie.

Don't you start... erm... damn... southerner.

Alright alright, caaaaaaalm down etc

Fuqquin'ell caaaaaaalm down the lorras ye.

We should move this meet to Liverpool, it'll be a lorra lorra laughs our chuck

*puts on headphones, stares out of window*

LORRA LOLS

FOKKIN' PRORNS!!!!

So has anyone booked anywhere to stay for this yet? Me and myp were calculating with science how many people my place can hold, but I can't remember what number we came up with, and whether we were serious about hanging a hammock above the main bed

I've not yet investigated a hotel, but I think if most of us book into some convenient little cheap hotel then all will be well, and the cool kids can have people into their room and drink even more booze and then be all cliquey and awesome.

Sounds like fun.

I already went to this in November. It was alright.

Am I still home-vited by someone?

Aye, I believe you're on the list for staying at Alberto's.

Sweet.

This is news to me... am I being dense or what?

Is there a 6'1" x 2' strip of floor for me?

Preferably with a chair for his feet.

That reminds me... I need to book a flight.

Yeah, I was the one who said it was ok, so you probably missed it.

Z: only if you have some banging choons to put on the stereo at about 5am.

Markg, are you attending this Nerd Jamboree?

Is it next year yet?
