Ah, thanks - I hadn't seen the change, no. I'll have a definite yes or no at some point tonight, most likely yes.

by **King of Frogs** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 11:18 am UTC

Right ok, I'm going to be wearing a t-shirt with "Back in the USSR" written on it in yellow letters, a pinstripe jacket and brown cord trousers. I will probably be muttering to myself.

by **Lolsaur** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 1:58 pm UTC

I shall be wearing blue jeans, a No-Raptor T-Shirt, on top of a long sleeved beige top. A more noticeable piece of clothing may well be the knee-length black/grey rain mac that I'll also be wearing....

For the face, look out for blonde hair and sticky-out ears, the most noticeable features.

Seeing you all soon!!

by **Teapot** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:01 pm UTC

I am very tempted to wear my new t shirt (It says "My face is up here" with an arrow pointing up...) also I will be wearing baggy jeans. Also here is my face viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6318&start=8400#p919745.

(I know it's in my avatar, but it's easier to see in the big pictures)

by **The Spherical Cow** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:29 pm UTC

Don't think I'm going to make it this time - sorry guys. Have fun though!

by **Red Hal** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:34 pm UTC

I may turn up, but don't count on it or wait around.

by **Cheese** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:31 pm UTC

I'll be there, with a friend who isn't a forumite. See you all there!

by **Teapot** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:51 pm UTC

Changed my mind. I have no baggy jeans that are clean. I will be wearing that t-shirt, and I'll be with Lolsaur, so I should be easy to spot.

by **Red Hal** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 9:48 pm UTC

Teapot,

Tomorrow I will text you the name of an animal.

Go there and you'll find something.

Sorry I can't make it. Accept what's there as a 'proxy me'.

by **Cheese** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 4:36 pm UTC

WE IZ ON MEETUP LOLZ HAHAHAHA!!!!!1 Golly Gosh Darn Gee Wiz WTF TEH RAPTORZ BE SCARIN UZ!!!!!!!!!11

Also, thanks for the message!

Cheese, Teapot, Lolsaur, KoF and some non-forumite friend of someone, we think.

EDIT: Right, that's me home now. The above was concocted by those who signed it. And the non-forumite friend of someone was mine. Brian enjoyed himself. Sorry you couldn't make it, Red Hal...

by **Red Hal** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:59 pm UTC

I nearly didn't make it out of there after texting teapot.

Glad you got the raptor.

by **Cheese** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 9:48 pm UTC

We were slightly confused when we got the text asking about laptops, and wondered where you were. And yes, Brian the Raptor is now in the safe hands of Lolsaur, I believe.

There are banter pictures, but I don't think there are many (or maybe any) of the people. You'll have to wait until Teapot sorts those out.

by **Red Hal** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:09 pm UTC

Brian? That's a good name for a raptor. Oh and the laptop was to read the memory stick I left.

by **Teapot** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 12:39 am UTC

I think that all the pictures are actually Brian... He's such a camwhore. :lol:

Also we got a little confused by the memory stick.

Also also Lolsaur wants to know if that's your real voice because he thinks it's pretty awesome. :lol:

by **Red Hal** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:21 am UTC

Yep, that's my real voice.

The memory stick was my nerdy equivalent of a 'Hi there' note, and then I didn't know what else to put on it so I dumped a few songs on it.

Glad you had a good time.

by **Teapot** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 7:33 am UTC

I am going to have to resize all the pictures, because they are huge.

I'll do it either today or tomorrow. I'm kind of lazy, so probably tomorrow. :lol:

<--Brian

Haha, Excellent vids. Proxy me had fun.

by **Lolsaur** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:03 am UTC

Man, I wish I had your voice, Red Hal.

Also, glad to have been able to put some faces to the names guys. Seeing you all soon, hopefully! Well, maybe not, but we can meet-up, virtually.

by **Red Hal** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:51 am UTC

Heh, it's simple to get a voice like mine. Drink too much Whiskey, and smoke for 20 years. Not much of an upside when you consider the downs.

by **King of Frogs** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:54 am UTC

I say, bring on the whiskey and fags! Hopefully you can make it next time Red Hal.

And yes, I would like to take credit for the naming of Brian

. We should take him with us every time we meet up, and take pictures to make a little picture story! "Brian at the Museum", "Brian at the Zoo", "Brian goes to the Beach".... the possibilites are endless!

A fun time was had I believe, despite lack of decisiveness on my part, apologies again, I had a headache

.

by **Lolsaur** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 1:49 pm UTC

That's quite alright, I'm top blame for the confusion - I was under the impression that the Blind Poet did indeed do food, but alas, they just directed us to the cafe across the road. A bit silly, really.

Also, Brain says "Hi. I can haz worldz naow?". I keep telling him no, but he won't listen.

by **Cheese** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 5:33 pm UTC

Heh, I like the videos. Was there not one of Brian holding his Sea Fortress, though?

by **Teapot** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:54 am UTC

The pictures I promised! (Sorry it took so long for me to get around to resizing them)

Spoiler:

~~Edit: Apparently Brian's Sea Fortress pic refuses to be spoilered.~~
FIXED

Bumping this because we should have another meet up. Hopefully more people will be able to come to the next one. So, any suggestion of a date/place?

by **Cheese** » Fri Jan 23, 2009 3:13 pm UTC

Hmm... another one would be good, yeah. I'd suggest just wandering round the gardens or something, but it's a bit cold to be doing that yet. Somewhere warm with food and seating, maybe?

by **Cheese** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:55 pm UTC

Doublepost for bump and meetup suggestion: I will be out on Friday 27th of the month, because that's my 18th birthday. I will possibly be going out with an RL friend or two, and you lot are also friends. Anyone want to/be able to do things?

by **King of Frogs** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:21 pm UTC

Hmm, 27th. What day is that? I should be able to come at any rate.

Ah sorry, wasn't paying enough attention :roll:

by **Teapot** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 3:06 pm UTC

I have work early Saturday mornings and I have no time left to take off so I won't be able to make it.

by **TheOtherDOOMGuy** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:46 pm UTC

Lol heroin addicts.

And within view (from the coast anyway) from the land of drunken fighters.
Yay Im Irish.
And We've got Guinness over here!

by **Teapot** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:19 pm UTC

So it's getting a little warmer here in Edinburgh and, whilst I don't want to be too optimistic about the weather, I have been able to go out without a jacket for the past two weeks or so (maybe it's just because I'm used to Aberdeen weather). I think this calls for a picnic in Princes Street Gardens! We'll need a back up plan, of course in case of nasty weather. Thing is if I'm going to make it it either needs to be at some point in the next two weeks or so or between May 21st and June 6th (and as always I won't be free Thursday afternoons or Saturday mornings or afternoons). Am I right in thinking most people will be finished school/uni/college etc by then? I'm just kind of judging based on my exams and what my exams were like last year...

by **King of Frogs** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:30 pm UTC

Yeah, I'll should be finished by then. Picnic in the gardens sounds luvvery.

By the way Cheese will you be out and about in Edinburgh tomorrow as I am coming through in the evening.

This could work; I finish school sometime in the middle of May and my exams are all at the very end of the month/start of June.
*checks sqa timetables*
Tuesday 26 May, Wednesday 3 June, maybe Thursday 4 June are all out the window for me I'm afraid. The rest should be fine.

I'm not entirely sure... The plan isn't so much "pub crawl" right now as "work out what you want to do when you're about to do it". If you want to text me a mobile number I can phone/text you if there's any definite plan to stay in town.

by **Teapot** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:27 pm UTC

I've also been told by Lolsaur that I've to make no plans for the 22nd. Sounds like the best time for it would be right at the end of May?

by **Cheese** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 10:34 pm UTC

I'd be good with that, yeah.

by **arbymcarby** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 3:40 pm UTC

Anyone from Glasvegas kicking about?

by **King of Frogs** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 7:12 pm UTC

Umm, My gf's from there? I'm an Edinbugger myself, so I suppose you could call that some kind of crossbreeding programme.

by **Teapot** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 1:43 pm UTC

Suggestion for meet up date - the 31st of May?

It's a Sunday. My uncle's having his 40th birthday party the night before, so Lolsaur will hopefully have the weekend off and be down here that weekend anyway. I think last time we met up was a Sunday too, so I thought that would probably be ok?

by **Red Hal** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 11:19 am UTC

/strokes chin. Hmmm 31st May? I could do that!
