|  | Brits In #terrafusion Meet?

Posted by Paul [213.120.98.77] on 2003/04/25 18:41:57

As part of anal banter we were thinking how many evile Brits are in #tf and thought why don`t we all meet up at some point during the summer. So we can pissed and take the mickey out of each other, etc.
Suggestion was that it could be in London, one weekend in June. So far the following people showed an interest : Me, Sock, Bal, Sleepwalker and Moz. Oh and if anyone is feeling generous, Friction would come if his air ticket was paid for.
We were kinda thinking people like nonentity, Cardo, pingu, spog etc may be interested in coming as well.
So if interested peeps could post and say when they`re free in June, we`ll take it from there.

Its not just for people in the UK, hence Bal and Sleepwalker. Anyone in #tf is welcome to make the trek over.
Grand!

That Would Be So Cool.

1. You`re all cunts.
2. I don`t drink.
3. There`s no way I can be arsed to go to the city.

You`d be a cunt too.
But I doubt anyone is inviting you...
Killes / Shambler
#11 posted by Paul [213.120.98.77] on 2003/04/26 06:27:58
If you came then we could have a BBQ. Spit roast Killes... actually on second thoughts that isn`t a good idea.
Shambler:
1. I don`t see that as reason to stop you.
2. You don`t have to drink.
3. London is not that bad. What about Birmingham?!
4. See 1.
Shambler Won´t Show

It`d be very interesting to see some #tf peeps in the flesh (and I don`t mean those pictures I was sent!). However, can I suggest early July instead of sometime in June? as from the start of July, I`ll have work and college over with and I`ll be able to turn up.
Doh
#14 posted by Paul [213.120.98.77] on 2003/04/26 07:24:58
Thats not good for me since I`m on me hols first week of July.

Shambler is just making cheap excuses because then somebody might actually (gasp!) know something about his real life!
Also, Vondur needs to be there.
Bah
#20 posted by Vondur [213.247.187.250] on 2003/04/26 11:02:19
i`ll be drunk very quickly and will act silly. like trying to play quake or might start mapping even, or something like that. ie, i`ll be annoying ;)
and londonium is too far for me, a pity though ;)

1. True...
3. Getting better but not by very much...
Wrath: How do you know....I might be just as much of a cunt IRL as I am online =).
Vondur: Maybe we should go to Russia instead for Dark Cold Forest QFest Winter 2003 or something. 13 innocent Quakers, one small hut deep in the forests, Vondur`s collection of black metal weaponry, temperatures that vary from -20 to -30, a steady diet of potatoes and vodka....what could possibly go wrong??
Yeah

I dont even now if Im welcome, but if I could get away from work perhaps I can muster up the energy to join you.
Any chance of staying at someones place? The ticket is no problem, but paying for a hotel on top of it might be too much bother than it´s worth to see your ugly mugs.
Hey Seriously

Well given Oxford is near London I can make it down, just set a date and I will hop on a bus and meet up. Word of warning though - I might try and recruit you for my world domination plans.
Oh, and if that cunt Shambler turns up then I will leave

Sure Wrath...
#42 posted by Gom Jabbar [212.93.3.169] on 2003/04/28 11:29:13
The positive effect with that would be that I don't have to pay the flight ticket.
On the other hand... Someone pay my train ticket! Damnit!
Hmm, will check the prices within the next days....

Which weekend can everybody make in June?
Like Shambler..
#48 posted by Pingu [62.189.9.170] on 2003/04/29 13:12:20
How was I supposed to know that you loved my maps so?
I was looking at A2 the other day and thought it sucked. dayDream was a way cooler map. And p3a plays better. When Bal next releases a map I may unleash A4 on you all. In fact, how does this sound. Bal - release a map. Shambler - turn up at this meet & I will release A4.
And before you all think this is someone else pretending to me be..... well, you`ll just all have to believe me =D
Yes, People Please Answer Sock.

Since I will not be attending, I would like to request that someone address Paul as "Pauk" for me.
Also, considering the unlikelyhood that Vondur will be there, he would probably be appreciative if someone called him a bastard, too.

OK, given that that failed...
Some discussion in #tf just produce 20th September as a date.
Is that OK with everyone (since we need to get this organised early if we actually want to meet)?
Also
#80 posted by Paul [217.39.96.138] on 2003/06/22 10:24:39
Lets just say that Sept 20th is the date we're going to meet and also set where we're going to meet from the start. That way people can plan were they're going to.
Btw, count me and Sock in (again).

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE TO CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
In light of your recent failure to make the correct decision in electing your President, thus showing you to be unfit to govern yourselves, we hereby give you notice of the revocation of your independence effective as of Monday 8th November 2004.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she doesn't much fancy, and is frankly a bit dodgy.
Your new Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Tony Blair M.P. (for the 97.85% of you unaware of the outside world), will appoint a Minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated in twelve months time to determine if any of you noticed.
To aid your transition into a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. All citizens are to look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. While there, check the pronunciation guide for "aluminium" - this may be surprising for you. Generally attempt to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up vocabulary". Using the same 27 words interspersed with "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable form of communication. NB. Look up "interspersed".
2. There is no such thing as "U.S. English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
3. Learn to distinguish between British and Australian accents. It's not difficult.
4. Hollywood will henceforth be required to occasionally cast Englishmen as good guys.
5. Re-learn your original anthem, "God Save the Queen". Please ensure that you have complied with the first law before attempting this.
6. Stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of "football". What you refer to as "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you aware of a world outside of your borders may have noticed that no one else plays it. Play proper football instead; to start with get the girls to help you - it is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, eventually, be allowed to play rugby, which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full Kevlar body armour like nancies.
7. Declare war on Quebec and France, using nukes if they give you any merde. The 97.85% of you unaware of the outside world should count yourselves lucky - the Russians have never really been bad guys. NB. "Merde" is French for "sh*t".
8. 4th July is no longer a public holiday. 2nd November will be the new national holiday.
9. American cars are hereby banned. They are crap; its for your own good. When we show you German and Japanese cars you'll understand.
10. Please tell us who killed JFK. Its been driving us crazy.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION
Is That Going To Be Recycled Now After Every US Presidential Election?

I will comply provided the following conditions are met:
1.) Brits get rid of their nasty, disgusting eggs'n'pork livers mixed with chocolate cheese sauce foods and adopt Burger Kings on every corner. Starbucks will follow. (They have Starbucks in England? Oh, wait, I guess they might ^_^ )
2.) American Football stays. No exceptions.
3.) Brits quit being so faggy.
4.) Brits take it upon themselves to "deNazi-ize" those evangelist scum that voted Bush in a 2nd term. This leaves the rest of us time to move into our new mansions.
Thank you, and I look forward to spelling words with "ou". God save Princess Diana. Whatever happened to her, anyway?

Dunno how many of you read Phrack -- but there was an excellent set of short stories/essays in the last issue covering a good deal of topics, including the dissolution of the "real world's" borders.
It's pretty long, but definitely worth the read. One of the points the person makes in the piece, is that people now are so fixated on the idea of trying to get the most of regionalism; that is to say, pining for something (regional identity) and pretending that it still exists.
Before sophisticated communication, the flow of information generally took time to move back and forth, and therefore ideas and movements took longer to gain strength, and were less susceptible to being broken down by contradicting information.
So I think alot of this ridiculous knee-jerk regional bullshit that I see not only in the US, but around the world is only the product of people pretending that the place they live is actually any different than anywhere else. (It isn't. Thank you international corporations.)
It's scary too, because that is actually quite a frightening thing for alot of people. In the South US, it may seem a bit different from the North, but only because now, more than ever, people are trying to be different.
Heh...

Yes, indeed. However, it occurred to me that that list would have to include my own dearly beloved mum. I just couldn't do it, and to deny Britian a ex-convict, reformed bank robbing lesbian as her soveriegn would be to deny her richly deserved chapter in her history.

A cunning plan.
Alton Towers.
Central in the country, great fun, basically it rocks. Better that than sitting in some stinking bar in London drinking lager at £8 a pint thinking "God you're actually all cunts IRL".
Preferably take a day off and do a weekday, too crowded otherwise.
Start early in the morning to avoid queues.
Go on all the hardcore rides until people start collapsing.
Anyone left alive eats hot-dogs until they need to be carted away by paramedics.
Kinn gets thrown in the lake.
Pub meal afterwards.

lol, America, lol. I was gittin' tha fookin' drinks in with ease from age 15 onwards. I've only been ID'd once actually, aged 19 funnily, in some tourist pub in Cornwall, but I did have retarded raver hair at the time.
Of course, when I visited the States a few months ago, I managed to forget to bring ID the first time I went to a pub (sorry, bar), but amazingly managed to get away with it, through a combination of pleading ignorance, coupled with the fact that the friend I was with had ID and was about 35.
One of my work colleagues is in his 50s and was on a similar trip to the States. He told me he was rather flattered when they asked him to produce his ID at a bar.

P.S. Nemesis, awesome, hadn't been on a proper roller-coaster ever, and had only been on half-arsed Disney ones a decade or more ago. Did Nem as the first one of the day, bloody hell, can't actually remember anything as my brain couldn't keep up, but it left me with jet lag =).

I have to knock the level of the conversation down a notch or two to say this (and don't I always?) but:
NEMESIS 0WNZ J00!
I also really loved the Thunder Loopa single loop coaster next to the Nemesis, but I think it's been removed in the last few years. It was highly prime and the ride time was about the same as queue time (i.e. the queues were really short.)
I haven't been to Alton Towers since they built the Oblivion and certainly wouldn't mind going again if I get the chance sometime.
I have to say though, I've been on a couple of very fine rollercoasters since Nemesis, so Alton Towers better have installed some good stuff since my last trip.
So
#136 posted by Kinn [81.152.115.115] on 2005/06/30 15:15:54
