Something was said in a thread a week or two ago in a thread about people who frequent the Snarkpit (from the UK) meeting up - and it made me wonder....why haven't we?
Has anyone ever met up? Did they scare the be-jeezuz out of you cos they were nothing like their online persona? Or were they exactly like their online persona (minus the smilies 
, and silly words like l337 and 'teh')?

Most folks from the UK seem to be in England, except for a few (myself, a guy called Dolly from ages back, and Peter Manson are all scottish). I guess some of the Americans find it wierd since we are all close, but to me travelling to England is a long way.
I live with 4 other computery folks, and w00t and "...xor" seem to come up in conversation a lot these days...purely for jesting purposes mind. I certainly wouldn't try and chat up a lady using such terms!

| I actually cannot tell if thats irony or honest to god ignorance. I would somehow suspect irony from Orph though. |
someone else tryed to use "irony" on me once before, it didn't fit then either
but ignorant sure does, BUT in this case, it was a weak mind and simple minded humor 
get used to me, cause if you don't, your head will hurt 
God help we when I get back to Hammer.
