Funny you know this thread makes me think out of all the wossers that live in the US Normski would've been the easiest one to meet, as he lives...or lived? The shortest distance from me.
If he is gone, that's a meeting I regret not taking part in? :(
Scottie would probably be the easiest to meet other than Normski, he's literally about 4 or 5 hours away from me I think? I think me and him would get on alright, my wife can cook him some organic, gluten free, vegan flavourless stodge masquerading as food :))
I was literally going to go and hang out with Andrew Rollings at one point, he invited me to come and stay at his for a day or 2 when I was having a hard time adjusting here, but then things went really bad for him, so that never happened :(
I'm gonna make it a goal of mine to meet some US Wossers at some point though.
If I was a millionaire playboy I'd come ruin all your parties though :))

I might hold you to that agreement sometime. It would be a pleasure to meet you.
I too almost met 'Andrew Rollings' as I was traveling though Alabama and if I recall he was somewhere near Montgomery. We'd informally even agreed on the day, but then because of changing situations we had to go another route that was no where near Montgomery. I got the impression that Andrew felt put out by that and I've always wished I could put that right.
Well I've got absolutely no time off work at all til' next year now, apart from 1 or 2 personal days, and there's so many kids and people coming through my house now I literally couldn't put people up here for a day or 2 anymore. The couch I offered to any US Wossers a few years back is pretty much off limits now unfortunately (Yes Kaija you were one of those people who could've dossed here, and I'm pretty sure I said I'd hang out with you when you were here in the US, and you warned me how much of a loony you were and I said I didn't care, you big grumbler :p ).
The 2 spare rooms upstairs now are a nursery for my newborn nephew when he comes over to stay, and the other spare room is a playroom/superhero bedroom for my other nephew when he stays (My arcade machine is in that room as well, so he just assumes it's his now...little turd :)) )
I also would've liked to hang out with Beanz, or zxbruno, but those guys are 10 hours away from me (Well in a car anyway). I was supposed to be swinging by Texas at some point in the summer this year, and beanz said he'd have a beer with me, but that went tits up as well, and I never ended up going anywhere near Texas :))
....and I've not seen zxbruno on here for ages :(
...and Klepto can sod off, I'm not going anywhere near them big snowy mountains of his ;)
Same with when I've been back in England, I've been supposed to going for pints, with mel, mile, greencard, ckay, and a few others. But that never happened either, I'll be back in England in 2018 maybe? If we're all still talking to each other by then maybe it could still happen? I'll have a bunch of yanks with me you so you may have to put up with them, as well :))
Imagine if we hired a big hall with loads of booze, food and music and everyone turned up? That would be a memorable night. Unless any of the slightly odder, more rude wossers turned up, then it would be a full scale riot.
Well I just meant drunken brawling, and falling about the place swearing incoherently......I would say this is not the commonwealth, but I get the impression a few people would turn up dressed like they're from a fallout game :))
I didn't meet a Wosser once, even though I was in the same room, and even took a picture of him....
I went to one of the early retro computer museum's open days, at whitwick, took a few photos, up loaded here, and Thx1138 said that's me in th photo!!! I did have a chat with him the following year though.

Food? Like pizza ?
Any food but perhaps my pizza would best stay off the menu or no one would turn up! :))

You met at least 3 wossers today! Actually 4 because David has been registered for years...
You didn't answer me...
I know you were in all day. And you should either wear clothes or shut the curtains.
Who was the other one then, besides you, Jonathan and David?

He might want to remain unknown, but he was the one talking to me & Jon. Weird accent - hard to understand.

Oh, I can definitely do that too, :D

Oddly enough I was playing that at the National Computer Museum yesterday.

I'd make you wear a rubber key, well two actually one for each side.
I've yet to find a black sweater with a red, yellow, green, blue stripe on it. I do have two pairs of these however.

The backside is impressive too:

Very impressive. Sometimes, secretly..I just wonder if the whole magic of the speccy is just down to the rainbow stripe.
