Be Excellent To Each Other

Hello. Some of us went to Shunt a while ago, and it was great. I seem to remember people saying that they would have liked to go, but weren't available the night we went.

So let's go again. Thursday seemed to be a good night for it, so Thursday of the week after next (24th)?

For those that don't know:

http://www.shunt.co.uk/

I'd love to come down, but can only visit London on a weekend, really.

Ditto.

I would prefer that this took place in January. And in Bristol.

The Dreaded Thesis of Doom: Creator of Procrastination and Killer of Social Life, has bound me to it's deep and dark will.

So I have no time to socialise for the next 54 days.

And anyone who says this is just an excuse so that I don't have to buy you that beer I owe you is lying.

If you could all come to my local pub, that would be better.

Or perhaps if you gave me enough notice I could get the Friday off. It's a bit too soon for that.

Mm, we don't all own massive range rovers that can just bomb it all up and down the motorway at a moment's notice CRASTER.

Bloody london cleeks. How dare they all live in one city that isn't the place I live in. Cuh.

Gutted that I will be missing shunt again, I never should have left last time.
Also people should take Hello Title signs to introduce themselves.

Thursday of next week is the 17th.

Shut up, that's why.

This sounds a potential opportunity for excellence, so I hope I shall be able to attend.

I'm staying away from that wall though - that thing was lethal.

That was awesome

I am still upset I missed Squirt being eaten by a wall.

I can make the 24th. Let's go then.

Okay.

The day before my birthday!

Yeah I'm in.

It all seems a bit London-y to me. We don't take kindly to that sort of thing round these here parts.

Yes. I heartily concur.

Huzzah!

Well, none of the people that wanted to go last time and didn't, but all of the people that did go last time! That'll do.

Yes, it's quite impressive.

I could be persuaded to leave my hole for the evening, it sounds fun.

Huzzah!

It'd certainly be edgier than a cave under a bridge!

Awesomes!

You have an unfair advantage for the usual awkward "Finding the internet geeks in the pub" task at the start of the evening.

You should all wear 'Hello Titler' badges.

Who (or what) is Titler?

Imagine me, but instead of being tersely condescending and rude to lovely people without reason, a post from Titler was dreaded because he was very verbosely condescending and a bore. So, someone would post 'Hey, I really like chips, as I said last night to the woman, as we prepped for our anniversary tomorrow.', and he would respond with a 3000 word treatise on why referring to your sexual partner purely by their gender was misogynistic and proof that the aforementioned anniversary-expectee was a bastard to all womankind. And - and - he'd do so frequently whilst saying things like 'remarked Titler, admiring his devilish junctioning of wit and forthrightness there, alas, probably the only one to do so' in every other sodding sentence. Unless you're The Rock, you can't get away with referring to yourself in the third person.

Sounds amusing, about once. Then possibly it got annoying? Just a guess.

Lave can. Fact.

Yes, he had a remarkable ability to come across as smug and bitter at the same time. A casual discussion about Harry Potter would result in a 1000 treatise about how everyone else were mindless sheep, and how only he really understood it, and how stupid we were, and how the world ignored him and didn't understand genius like him.

Which was odd, because when he wasn't being crazy he seemed fairly normal.

I don't like harry potter either, but rather than tell you you're all idiots I merely plan to kill JK Rowling. You have to cut these things off at the source, people.

Where did all of this titler malarky take place? Because I'm fucked if I ever noticed it on WoS.

It was WoS. There's a link around somewhere.

We need a 'Memes Explained' link somewhere.

FTFY.

@bobbyaro - See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=882&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=titler&start=60, and the link to the WoS forum within it. (Search that works = excellent)

Also:

You could call it the Cliqueism Understanding Seminar or the Cuddlies Universal Sensemaker or something...

Not for any particular reason, I'm just a shameless self-promoter.

Brilliant.

Good Lord, I can't believe Grim... read it, or even bothered responding. I have to say, that I was agreeing with him from his first post until the third person usage. Astonishing, I take it he didn't have a job!

Oh god I just got that.

Um... What?

This threw me for a bit as well, I think he's on about Titler's post on WoS.

Sorry, yes I was.

Very good, Grim...

And your excuse for not turning up this time would be?

A very sound one. I'll be in Lancaster at the time of the meet, actually, so not just me being a wimp P

Running away to Lancaster is pretty bloody drastic
