We were out for Qasiel's birthday on Saturday and ended up in the Black Heart when the football was on. It was pretty good because they didn't have the sound on just carried on playing good music, so those of us not interested could carry on talking among ourselves, and those who wanted to could watch the match. Good compromise. Would hate for the group to actually split to different venues.

All three pubs you mentioned earlier will be showing it, I imagine. Blackheart has great beer, good music but is pricey as fuck.

I don't think we should split either.

This sounds like fun and I'm free that Saturday evening. Colour me interested!

Just one thing I need to establish before I commit to attending. What's age range here? I don't want to feel like an old man... (I'm 32 btw)

18 - 35ish, more mid to late twenties, I think.

 

[dapperbandit]

Who's 18?

I didn't think there was anyone under 20 now, or not among the regulars

Don't know, wasn't PrematureQuiche (or was it that miserable fuck Fork?) a youngling?

 

[KillerMike]

Donkey!!! Where is he these days? No time for us after getting well and truely loved up.
Would be great to see you there though dude

I haven't spoken to him for a while, but I think he's still chilling/doing roller derby in Sheffield. I should go visit him or something.

:'( Thirties are the new twenties, at least that's what I keep telling myself.

30s BGAF are like 300% more awesome than 20s BGAF. And fuck those teen BGAF little shits. They didn't know they was born.

That's a bold statement.
20s are the best for a couple years yet

Jed speaks the truth. I hope this meet is amaze, I just turned down work for next weekend.

 

[eggybob]

Looks like we won't need to go anywhere for the football

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I was gonna say the same thing. Yay!

This offends me.

 

[Dmi3k]

I would like to attend.

 

[Tunesmith]

For reasons unknown I decided to check this thread out.

I'm in Guildford on business over that weekend, I might be able to attend. Though I'm not a Brit I'm Scandinavian, and I'm not certain I've ever seen a GAFer in real life so it'd be a slightly frightening experience.

The more, the merrier. Looks like I'm working during the day now but will definitely be around for the late afternoon/evening shenanigans.

 

[Mikeside]

We're at 20 people coming plus a couple of maybes!

I'm so excited, even if I'm going to be super poor as it's just before pay day.



What's the plan, musha?

You get paid on a Sunday?

 

[decaf]

Now that I'm actually living here, I can't possibly say no. Please excuse my absence from the GAF thread and WhatsApp chat - I'll make up for it by drinking a worrying amount.

 

[Mikeside]

I didn't say the day before, I said just before
I get paid on the last working day of the month

 

[Mikeside]

Awesome, I look forward to seeing you again!

Not sure if serious....

Welcome! Will be great to see you there!

I'll let you in on a little secret, Gaffers are just normal people, and everyone is super nice. Come along, the more the merrier! Plus I love Scandinavians

Regents Park from about 12pm onwards, head to Big Red about 6pm ish for Bevvies and food, then probs into Camden later for more Bevvies and good times. Nothing set in stone so plans could change depending on what people want to do at the time, pretty much a usual meet.

AWESOME

 

[barrbarr]

Sorry gonna have to pull out. I have work to do early on sunday, so I can't be hungover. Hope you guys have a great night, and I hope to make it to the next one

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Not serious. I am a teen more or less, though.

Spoiler

I posted that to get that Stephen Fry "I'm offended by that" image as a response

Sure am, although I've lived down south for a while now. I'm a displaced Geordie.

Tunesmith, coooooome! We are all super nice and cool. The neckbeard ratio is like 1:20

All we do is drink and laugh and tell lies about ourselves in order to appear more interesting, it's a good time.

Day after payday for me, I'll spot ya a few drinks

// I also might feel the lure of being close to actual comic shops and so may nip off to fill up my rucksack.

I may have to join you if I get there early enough.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Oh god there's a comic shop

But I like money :C

There's forbidden planet, a comic shop in soho and one in covent garden

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Umm this is very last minute but I might be a maybe, depending on whether the stars align.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Yeah I'm thinking I might pop to FP since it's fairly central and has good stock. Gosh is cooler but I could actually spend hours in there and that would not be good.

 

[Mikeside]

There's also Fopp, who have some great vinyl

 

[Bazza]

Is there going to be a meetup point before people head for Regents Park that isn't King Cross this time

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Fuck if I'm carrying vinyl around London while half cut! At least comics don't shatter as easy. Plus cheaper

I think we should test people's initiative. First person to get to Regents Park posts a pic of where they are along with a google map pindrop and a GPS location if poss.

Anyone who can't figure that shit out does not get to hang with da nerdz.

Looks like a few potential showers rather than full on rain though, fingers crossed.

Have a feeling I would be at a sore disadvantage, what with no smartphone, internet or camera.

Heart of gaming if the weathers going to be bad

In that case you're fucked. Go back to 1976 with your sideburns u fuckin hipster

There's also Orbital Comics opposite Leicester Square.

I'm most likely not coming and yet I post here. Oh, the logic.

The first meet I went to was a meet in Regent's Park last year and at that time I had a shitty nokia with no smartphone wizardy. Mikeside gave me his number, I phoned him and for some reason Tashbrooke picked up. I was given vague directions to a spot where Tash said he'd wait for me and then I had to look around trying to spot someone who looked like they were waiting for someone, which involved making probing, uncertain eye contact with Tash several times before it became apparent that he was The One.

The point of that meandering nonsense is to say that, if there's a will, there's a way.

 

[KillerMike]

Haha, I wouldn't say it's that unusual for people to not have smartphones, I know quite a few people who don't. It's money I'd rather save and I get by fine without one in most cases, that and touch screens rarely agree with me.

If I could get this kinda thing, it would be appreciated. Either that or I'll get a friend to check the thread for me and try to point me in the right direction at least.

 

[Rubbish King]

I can't come you cunts, I can come in the day so if you meet early I can stay until 6 or so

Sort it out

It was all an elaborate ruse to build up the tension before you became one of us

We'll be in the park from about noon so plenty of time

 

[eggybob]

Fuuphoenix is coming as well. He'll probably meet us at the food place.

Edit: also, why am I not on the guest list!?
Should I take a hint?

Meet at Regent's Park - 12:00 pm

Leave Regent's Park to head to Big Red - 6:30 pm

They're still predicting rain for tomorrow - are we going with eggybob's plan if it's wet?

Heart of Gaming is freakin miles away, so doubtful. Weather forecast is 80% chance of rain from 11 - 4. I say still meet at Regents Park between 12-1, and if it's peeing down head to Trocadero.
