I will definitely make the effort to attend the next one... I just hope there is a similarly high turn-out. It would suck to haul my arse across the pond only to sit in a pub by myself.
Maybe ex-pat bods can have a mini get-together in Atlanta... That's probably a good location as it's where every bloody flight connects to in this place anyway.

Maybe I could get my book signed as I had requested!
I'd be up for that though I think boozy and bruno have to ask permission :D
Are you EVER going to stop whining about that??? I said I was sorry! :D:D:D
Andrew
Actually I'll probably just buy another....the spine is coming away on mine. I thought it would when I first got it...because of the shape and a lot of weight on the small spine....anyone else reported that problem?

Yes, and was reported many moons ago. I have it stuck on with some superglue at the present. :)
Ok, i *have* to know. Who is the guy in the black jacket whose name icabod keeps forgetting??
That's Jon Hyde, aka the other half of YS3 (or other third if you count the penguin).
Don't think we had any *real* lurkers this time, although Daren did mention an incident at one of the Manchester CSS meets a few years back when a random bloke approached him at the bar and said he'd heard about the meet online and decided to turn up to see what it was all about. Never actually came up and introduced himself. Real life lurker! :-)
That's what I always found a bit... plastic... about the United States. They'd put these places up like Mexican restaurants with fake cracked plaster, or fake peeling paint. Go to the Med, and the restaurants have real cracked plaster. Go to a proper Real Ale pub in England and the paint is real peeling paint!
On the subject of wall-coverings - note the Ultimate-tributeblackboard decorations. We contemplated rubbing out the text on there and replacing it with "1 - Kempston. 2 - Interface II..."
If anyone wants to own up to who they are, feel free, I'm terrible with names and may have got one or two wrong.
This 'something' is in fact a Nintendo DS running the latest version of Target; 2006. I'm the guy in the background, my face cunningly hidden by Eq's. (Didn't manage to avoid every picture, but I had a go! :D) And here's another picture of that Ultimate-tribute blackboard - perfect for 'shopping or planning your pub-going activities for the rest of the month.
Thanks again for the GBC, aowen! At last I'll be able to play the best version of Tetris again...
If someone here in the U.S. plans a meet-up, I'm sure I can make it.
I'm not much of a planner but if someone does plan one it's more realistic that I'd be able to attend that one. Unfortunately I don't have any Speccy stuff I could bring with me in this country. I don't even have a laptop with some .Taps on it :D

I have all the speccy stuff you could dream of......just to flaunt of course.

Hehe, that was hilarious. Did anyone capture that on video?
I've no idea, they're working here ok. If you click the bottom right of the video to go to the actual Youtube/Google Video page, do they work then?
who actually went in the end.

That's Gasman, isn't it?
At least that's how I think he was labelled in some other piccies.
Andrew
Indeed, it's Mr Organiser, the Gasman.

Maybe I have been 'thumbing' mine too much.

Yeah... I got a few of those reported... I've mentioned it to the printer and they've been investigating...
Apparently a "very small number" were glued incorrectly :(
Hmm...
Andrew
I think it may be Dave The Lurker, I recall someone mentioning lurking. I could be wrong tho'... when someone confirms I'll update my comments :)
Wasn't me. I didn't make it to the meet - maybe next time.
cheers,
Dave

We did talk about you, actually. Only nice things. Honest.
