RUMBLED! Game over, man. Game over!

Ah! a fellow argos sufferer! ... Ok so they kinda 'let me go' by fucking up a transfer, but hey! We were allowed to get early catalogues. They were chucking 'em at us. They said that each catalogue is worth something like £75 worth of sales to the company. Or something. One of my favourite shifts was around xmas time, we had loads of pallets of catalogues out back but they needed sorting out - it had rained like a motherfucker, so me and a mate spent a few hours smoking, chatting, throwing catalogues around! FASCINATING STORY

So much awesome... Really was the best meet yet. Added like another 6 names to my list! I should probably actually, like, make this list... I basically left what I was doing totally open -- didn't really check last trains or anything, and the madness on the tubes made me really not look forward to the journey home, so after the ultimate day of win, I went to Bard's mate's house and we stayed up til like 5am "watching" movies, drinking rum and babbling incoherently about existentialism and films and books and anything. Anyway, some sort of brief summary; I turned up vaguely bewildered after a near-3 hour journey consisting of two trains and 5 tube rides and a 20 minute walk down oxford street on the road because clearly I'm the only person who knows how to walk properly in the entire of london. Immediately I noticed some strange, (un)familiar faces of Eenuh, Razz, Daft and Jimbob, aside from Flink, Goafer, ReZ, Rummy, Marcamillian, Bard, coolness bears Debug Mode, whom I'd met before (really hope I didn't forget anyone there!). I never know what to do in these situations so I just shouted some sort of greeting, complained about the tube/heat, pointed out my t-shirt, then sat down and asked Marc if he brought a hat or a chess set. It was a chess set! So win. Literally, I WON WOOO! Twozzok turned up shortly after me, then was immediately pursued by Dyson and his squeeze. Dyson had a hearty handshake, a lack of toffee cider and an all-too-brief sit-down with us (more next time!). There were some phail 'signs' that did nothing but hurt a tree a bit, because I, for one, enjoyed almost joining several other groups of people while uncertain whether they were 'us' or not (if that makes sense...). It all starts to get a bit hazy here as I was a couple of cans and a strong bottle-or-two down, but I think molly turned up with her ceremonial Drink Of Unknown Origin Is It Olive Oil Is It Mead Is It WTF I Don't Know Either But It Tastes Gooood, at some point Goafer had set up his tripod in a sort of "hey kids, let's pretend we're fruit for uncle goafer! You can be a banana, and you can be an orange, and I'll peel you both, now let me just set up the video camera..." kinda way, and some sort of group photo was taken but I have no idea when or what pose we were pulling. We talked much about doing a human pyramid, perhaps even inverse with ReZ at the bottom, but no effort was actually made. Despite close proximity of toilets, Bard still preferred to mark territory closer by and peed on the tree we were sat under. I chose once to pee in a bush, and decided against it for future occasions due to several people joining the previously rather exclusive list of People Who Have Seen My Penis. A game of Jenga was played while me and Marc had our second game of chess (I AM WINNAR), but we caught the end where flink failed us all. I think that was the reason why I threw a bottle at him and eenuh. Eenuh punched me in the arm and it's bruising today. Scoop arrived with a pal, but again did a dyson and dissapeared pretty much as soon as I started talking to them. I'm obv. a bit of a repellant. Sorry guyzzzz! I'm freaking out a bit now because I can't remember if anyone else turned up. shitshitshit... I don't think so. Very glad we had Daft with us who knew a local, fairly cheap pub for after the park. Me, Rummy and Marc sat down with our pints and kinda realised that nobody else was around... they'd all scarpered off to get food someplace. Rummy expertly spotted an open table and we drank and fended off several vulturous swines who tried to nick our stools we'd saved -- We lost a couple, I'm sure, but eventually everyone else turned up and we proceeded to drink more than I dare to remember. I think at some point I was the last one with a drink and everyone was making me hurry up, or something. I don't really remember the goodbyes, just that ReZ, Goaf and Jimbob dissapeared before the pub -- probably got food and left? Razz scarpered too, and Coolness left earlier saying he had work the following day (booo)... OH WAIT THERE WAS TOTALLY SOME TROCADERO GOING ON I can't believe I almost forgot that! Me and twozzok couldn't find anyone for ages. Bard sucked at street fighter, then sucked some more at virtua soccer. I played flink at air hockey but GENUINELY could not see the puck we were playing with, so I lost badly. WILL HAVE A REMATCH IN BRIGHTON BITCH. Debug mode wasted all his coppers, and some mario kart was Happened. I don't really remember much of the pub besides at some point having an animated chat with Molly about something I've completely forgotten, and would very much like my mind refreshed! Ultimately, it fizzled or whatever, but me, Bard and his mate Scott went and got a subway on the way back to his, bought a litre bottle of rum (cannot believe we drank the whole thing on top of the entire day's doings!), were told by some dodgy geezer to "bet on spain" and another guy shouted at us that he was getting a stripper, or something, and now I think we're back to the start of the post! Had about 5 hours kip then we watched The Dark Knight while feeling sorry for ourselves, bought some lucozade, eventually begun the epic horrendous jouney home, with Bard sharing a tube for a few stops while we completely failed at being alive, functional human beings nearly getting on the wrong overhead etc. The journey home = tubes to St. Pancras, trainfail, tube to london bridge, ticket barrier man making me miss my train, wait for 30 mins, train to brighton while savouring my leftover can of cider and just letting the day soak in, then wait for train at brighton to portslade that totally destroyed my spirits, then... urg, just shite trains all weekend. HOME NOW! SO effing tired/stinky. So much other stuff that I've forgotten to mention that'll just fade into my memory. Got stung by stinging nettles! I remember that. Anyway, enough! BRING ON THE PICTURES/MOVIES!

I don't care what you said, this film is totally about our dan dare and I plan on watching it and being the only guy in the cinema uncontrollably laughing throughout. The dan dare movie will become an epic n-e intrameme!

I remember making you a blink-related sig or two back in the day. You were always "that guy much older than us" and now I'm here posting older than you were back then, and it all seems so weird! I'm proud to be able to say I know the boards you speak of when you speak of the olden days (didn't aimless design the old c-e elite logo for us, or is that my complete imagination?), and I hope you'll not slowly dissapear into the fog like a lot of the oldies! You have joined a very special list of ex-admin *ahem*.. :P

Rummy; yeah that's still my number but I don't have yours, and I only have ReZ's number currentl, but sling me a text tomorrow so I have your number! I have no definite time of arrival yet, as I'm essentially heading out whenever I wake up, perhaps around 10am, so I should be there before midday...

How can you never have had cramp.. I don't understand! It's just one of those things, like a stitch, or hiccups, or pins n' needles that everyone has endured. IT BOGGLES MINDS. I get cramp when I do exercise without warming up -- I can feel teh muscles tighten up. I also get cramp which can wake me up. The worse is when you get it at the cinema while you're just sitting there (during sex it's not too bad, you can laugh it off/invent new wacky positions). Wiki said it was to do with maybe dehydration, maybe sodium levels.

FAIL. ... It's not May anymore

MURRAY: giant bowl = hyper bowl = hyperbole = look it up and understand that stuff :P Best thing about all this? If the MEET on saturday is at all awkward, we can just go "so how about dem locked topics, eh?" and BAM! We're set for another hour.

I've just remembered I've got some numbers from PMs ages ago, so I'll check through those, flink. I had it before but lost my phone and all the contacts, y'see! EDIT: just checked and noop, not got yours, flink. PEEM it my way, fellow brightonian(ish)

not shreddies, not kit-kat minis, not snack, but the rest were right!

There's already 200,000 in the pot before anyone adds to it :P

yes on both Sorry about the localisation. I realised about half-way through doing it that it was grossly narrowminded of me, hence why these should (hopefully) be answered quick. I'll think of somthing better next time! Aside; I think that the hardest ones this time are D and R, with A being the "oooooh, I seeeeee" one.

we understand that people are finding it hard to go cold-turkey without the old threads. We understand that change is scary. We understand that (re-)adjusting to this format of forum is not easy at first. That's not a substantiated point, that's your opinion on what you feel the future might hold. We're saying (again and again) that this is not a permanent system, that we are weighing things up and ETC. Any old conversation that we would've 'missed' has been replaced by plenty of new conversation that we have HERE and NOW that wouldn't've been spurred into creation in the old system. What we want from the forum in this thread is not "aww bring it back, because of this reason or that". We want "hmm... have you thought about trying this thing?" -- some neutral, focused, insightful thinking rather than tantrums and sadfaces. While we may not have directly responded to all suggestions as far (ReZ, we heard ya, don't worry), we modders do read all the posts here, it just hurts our brains to have to read the same picket-line over and again.

Correct Next one; this time it's UK-available chocolate stuff. All very easy for the brits -- sorry to other nationals, but this round should be over quickly. O H X D R C K T N A U M E S

Your new Robyn thread is a perfect example of why the Music Thread is under experimentation. Anyone who cares about it will talk about it. Also! Because it wasn't one of a trillion videos on one page, I actually sat and listened to the songs you offered. Now that I know I do not like the music, I will Stay Away From Thread. So in a sense, your post, now a thread, will get more 'recognition' then it did when it was part of The Music Thread. In other words; deal. Unless anyone actually has any actual input or constructive comments, can we stop posting in here just to say "don't like it". Substantiate your point. Ta!

My guess is that a police officer pushed a man walking away from him with his hands in his pockets for little gain and was not charged with anything. If it was teh other way around and someone pushed a police officer over who then died shortly afterwards, do you think he'd get away with it scot-free? It's just not justice.

I didn't enjoy rome. Too busy for my liking. But one tip I have! If you're looking for authentic pizza then don't just enter the first place you see -- roam (lol) down the streets behind the main restaurant-filled streets and you'll find more traditional, real, homely restaurants with (slightly) better prices and pizza done the way it should be! Try and go on one of those red open-top sightseeing tour-buses. They're always good for getting a general overview of a city, and a handy way of noting the places you would like to have a closer look at. I wouldn't mind re-trying Rome at a less-busy time of the year... but I don't think there ever is one!

Horrendous. I remember that clip of the incident and it gets me in the gut. The farce about the 'conflict of medical causes of death' is also ridiculous. Urgh.

I'm effectively aiming to get to the park for around 12:30-1pm, but if I get up early then I'll be getting there as soon as I can! Stumbled into some lovely complimentary tickets to travel on the thameslink services FREE, so I have that winnage.

I'm in! Not really too sure I've selected a very good lot at all. Is there a way I can see your team, Murr? Make sure you advertise this thread in the football one on the main boards too!

lolawesome! Mean to pick on the lady, but awesome nonetheless

Yes We used to do that premier league budweister one didn't we? I'm a little worse at fantasy football than I am at x11 (not really possible...) due to a severe lack of knowledge of football, but hey! Still can be fun.

All I can think of are the recent few-dozen episodes, where typically I get drunk, walk into something, come home, play xbox... I used to have a bad habit of talking to strangers/homeless people. Just results in unnecessary singing. I have one epic night and several epic summers I may go into later. But I have a self-esteem complex so I don't think they're any good.

I've only read the first volume, but I'm willing/eager to grab the subsequent ones. What sort of price am I looking at forking out/is acceptible? I know a few different comic shops in brighton... Ok so I know one comic shop (Dave's Comics) and alternatively there's HMV...
