CUK summer do?

[realityhack]

I'm interested to know who Lucy isn't going to attack.

Alright Bagpuss/tay/others - I'm just going to stick my neck out here a bit - I'm not sure where you guys get all this ammo and the assent to slate Lucy so much. Sure, she's an outspoken and sensitive character on the board - but I don't think it warrants any kind of persistent 'mobbing' or personal attacks.

By all means have a dig at each other in the heat of the moment and in the relevant thread, but keep it at that, not a campaign of disparagement.

Frankly, you don't know her well enough to be judging her in this way. None of us do. It's an online community and you'll only ever see a small facet of someone's personality here - not enough to cast sweeping judgements IMHO - snaw is correct in his assumption above.

I think you will find I get the abuse directed at me first. Surely I have a right to reply?
Additionally, I'm not the one getting upset by someone giving as good as they get back.

If you can't take it don't give it out.

Of course you have. I probably haven't read the threads where this has happened. Nonetheless, it doesn't do anyone any favours to extend the abuse outside that thread. All I'm seeing is out-of-context flaming, which isn't very healthy.

Which all makes the prospect of a beer or thirteen with you keyboard warriors all the more interesting

Abso-bloody-lutely

[Bagpuss]

Ok Point taken, if Lucy stops deliberately trying to provoke me I won't say any more on the subject.

It's one thing disagreeing with someone it's another to constanly snipe, still my skin is thick

In reality we'll just stare at our shoes and groan

There - in a nutshell, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Cheers, I think we could all make an effort to avoid just that.

not central - but riverside

The Ship

Good suggestion - I'm trying to keep it to a half-hour radius of central london and that just-about fits the bill.

Places like Richmond are also surprisingly close to central London from Waterloo, with the advantage that there's lots more to do and a nicer, more relaxed atmosphere, that and Hammersmith, Putney and the like.

However - that just might be me wanting to have the CUK do around the corner from my house, within stumbling distance.

Trouble for me is that I then have to get to waterloo, then to kings cross before getting a train home - it's a PITA from Richmond area.
