    I don't know. I'm becoming seriously worried about this forum, what with all this posts about clubbing, meeting nice girls and going to the pub. My God, just what sort of geeks are you?

    In terms of knowing other members, I must admit that I do know WageSlave pretty well. In fact, we have slept together several times

      Most of the people on here are AKAs or bots. In reality, there's only you, me and threaded, so do you prefer Denmark or Tring?

        A few year's ago a meeting the the Eiffel Tower was mooted (a jar of Bovril instead of the usual carnation I seem to remember...)

        Can anyone manage Chandos near Trafalgar Square mid-week?

        Can't do this week though...

          Couldn't we just sit in different parts of the pub and text each other? What's the problem with that?

            You'd spot Jacko a mile off. 6'4'' and hands like spades.
            Milan would be seen arguing with the barman and getting thrown out, his NHS glasses snapped in half.
            Mordac would be screaming at the waitress like he did once at the Park, Teddington.
            Hull would be caught w@nking in the toilets and drawing knobs on the door.
            ATW wouldbe arrested under the prevention of terrorism act before arriving.
            Scots would be telling everyone to calm down.
            and Rebecca would appear but no-one would recognise her and shes really a bloke in drag
            What happens in General, stays in General.
            You know what they say about assumptions!

              I'd be interested in turning up if I bring along my mate Trevor.

                Look me in the eye?
                Are you sure your that tall?

                  Being 6"1 I always find it hard to look someone in the eye when they are only 4"6 but I guess if we stand you on the bar, and at the same time mines a bitter.

                    Top tip for Steve and Gooner.

                    Your neck is articulated. You can use it to tilt your head up and down. This will allow you to see things which are above or below you. If this is the first time you have used this facility, you may experience some dizziness.

                      It's funny how all the members of this forum are built like heavyweights. Being over 6"ft doesn't indicate much, even in the heavyweight division (Tyson, Marciano, etc).
