OK,
Well, AJ can no longer make it.
No-one else seems interested.
Which just leaves me and Martin.
Last I checked, two people was not a munch.

So, I quit, I give up.
You can't say I didn't try.....

Let's call the Bristol Munch a gonner.....

I can't say I'm not upset about it......cos I am. It seems a real shame to
me that munches seem to have become a thing of the past.

But hey, if that's the way things have gone, who am I to try and buck the
trend?

It's not just the munches, this newsgroup is too. Which is a shame.
We've moved on, life has taken over, we've outgrown it: just like
miniskirts and getting pierced 'because my friend got something done.'

If there's no-one to take over from us is that our fault? No.

I have kept some fantastic friends from the Manc Munch and some nobodies
fell along the way. That's life.

I intend to make the sheffield/midlands munch because a) rich will have
finished studying and therefore getting there will be easier and cheaper
b) I haven't seen steve, Jayne or Unf since S&J's wedding an c) if I
don't get some more tattooing done I'm going to cry.

Sorry Krys, I know how much you were looking forward to it. I wish I
could have committed more time to it but I can't at the moment.

Indeed. Things move on.

Maybe I'll see you there.....depending on the dates. And I'm with you for

It's all part of life's little cycles isn't it.

Althought this does surprise me a little and is a conversation in it's
own right. I wonder where all the freshblood is. I mean, I know there
are lurkers, but where's the new intake to the cycle? Is there a better
place to be? Has the UK bodyart culture changed? Did we run out of
geeks? So many questions.

Likewise, if anyone should be heading the the Netherlands (I know it's

I suspect it is bollocks. You are generally smart and kind and

I can appreciate that.

And I'd like to read other thoughts on why UPB and RAB, for that
matter, have lost traffic. (No, it's not my fault, Putz.)

Enjoy the weekend!

I don't know you at all Curt (I want to call you Cunt, but that would
make me appear as pathetic as you do calling Podz Putz) and I hate to
judge people I don't know, but this vendetta you both have just makes me
want to find you both, lock you in a room and then you just annoy each
other and not everybody else.

I've met Podz, he's a great guy. I haven't met you and frankly I don't
want to. Can't you just stop pissing about and prove lots of people
wrong?

I'm with you both for a, b and c - we'll have been married two years in May!

Anyhow, maybe a cash-saving incentive to us all could be to combine a
Sheffield/Midlands munch with State of the Art? It's around the same time,
gives people plenty of time (including me) to save up some dosh and will
give us the chance to get tattooed if we want it.

If people aren't bothered about the convention (it *has* been a bit
lacklustre
in the past) we can stay in Sheffield - plenty to do, even for the more
cultured
amongst us! I plan on getting tattooed this year regardless and am quite
happy
to combine it with a munch.

I'd also love to see Unf again after he scared all my relatives! I didn't
have the
guts to have a go at the tattooing last time but will definitely be watching
if the
machine comes out again ;-)

Speaking of appearing pathetic: "H-h-he st-started it!"

Cool.

I'll bet he is. I've visited his page and we have a lot in common,
though it's obviously to his chagrin. He and I have toes that are all
the same length and we both have loved ones who've been touched by
multiple sclerosis.

And yet here you are.

Hmm. Engaging me. Introducing yourself or, at the very least,
encouraging another post from my side of the Atlantic. That fact
escaped you?

Thank you for posting, dino. Your perspective, Rusty's comment, and

I think that we are of the generation of newsgroups, the Britney clones

well, dates are 15th and 16th July, tickets are £20 per day (or at the
bargain price of £40 for both days :) ) and I will need to speak to my
driver about when we'll get there etc. The problem for us is whether
it'd be worth us coming up to sheffield, going down to Derby, up to
sheffield again then back down south to home.

Rich and I both want some work done but after last time whether Adam
could work on us both in one day and then have Rich drive any sort or
distance... I need to get off my arse and talk to Adam too. I'll give
him a call...I don't even know for sure he's working again.

I don't know what to make of the fact that neither Temple or Into You
are working at the convention this year...

anyway, I'll try and get in touch with Adam and talk to Rich about his
exam dates, I'm hoping they will be over by then. If Adam's not working
at the convention or he recommends working outside of it (I'm looking
for about 7 hours if I can stand inner upper arm, armpit and inner elbow
work) then we may be up for longer than the weekend.

If there's enough interest, why not change the location to Derby instead of
Sheffield? I don't mind as long as it's not the other end of the country!

Nope, Fiona and the other Feline guys aren't going to be there either. All
that means for me though is I won't be getting tattooed at Derby - I plan on
getting Gavin to extend the blossoms up off my right foot and wrapping
around my leg.

I think you're mixing your lists up here Curt. I haven't been posting
because I have had nothing new to contribute (in terms of on topic
stuff) and haven't seen much that I can respond to and add value.

The fact you post here doesn't deter me one iota. If I was that
sensitive I'd never survive UKRM.

I know!

Uh, wait...

B-b-but I am special.

I am a special and unique snowflake, J.

And, if you'd peruse UPB, you'd see P, my old pal, state
somethingsomething I ruined RAB and that he, apparently, feared I may
do the same with UPB. Rusty states - unless I missed his meaning -
it's bickering such as what has gone between P and myself that makes
him want to not post at all. And dino or Dnc - perhaps both - agreed
with Rusty, that tiger of confrontation.

You're right, though, as far as Claire goes.

Iirc, she only recommended I stop pissing about.

THANKS FOR CARING, JAYNE!

Cool.

My mistake. I thought you were firmly in the *P Sez Curt Will Destroy
UPB Like He Destroyed RAB* camp.

Survive?

You are talking text, aren't you?

Regardless, I appreciate you offering me the clue-by-four with respect
to my posting to UPB.

When dealing with my mob, it has become apparent that the theory that
children don't differentiate between good attention and bad attention is
true. All attention is good as far as they're concerned. Misbehave - get
attention - rah!

This seems remarkably similar.....

The solution is generally to ignore them. Withdraw the attention. Reward
any "good" behaviour. Etc.

But that's for dealing with children......

Go away Curt.

Thanks for the tip, krys, but, yeah, I actually had noticed that. Hnh.

Hmmm. Is there an update?

Indeed I may be.

Are you asking me a question? Because that certainly LOOKS like a
quesiton, krys?


>krys

And yet you add to it. Are you truly fed up? Perhaps you should change
your strategy.

Note: Being silent helps.

Still, chatter truly CAN be enjoyable.

I've said it before and will say it again (I suspect): There's no
limit to the things I don't know! Thanks for reinforcing that
statement.

:o)

>and the people in it.

Seems that P.'s not really in it of late and so I shall take my leave.

For now.

Iam does seem to have kinda dried up other Bodyart Recources and groups,
well, online anyway... Not such a grate thing me thinks, even though I
have been on it for ages I have never and will never feel a part of it like
I have done with UPB.

Does RAB still get a lot of fresh traffic??? I can't say I have looked at
that in years. Like claire was saying, things change over time and so do
priotritys.

When I ge home these days, I really dont want to spend ages infront of the
computer! Well, unless for rude pictures :o)

Hello Krys!

I think i fall in to the catagory of wooly people who have not
commited... Like claire was saying things have kinda changed,
last year
has been a weird mix of things happening directly to me (Moving
in with
friends and all the shit that goes with that, having to have
angery
cysts scraped out of my back, girls, lack of girls, work etc...)
and
stuff that has happend to family and friends.

Life does have a habbit of getting in the way if you let it and
I guess
I do all to often!

I do feel an urge to meet up with you all and *definatly* need
to keep
in contact better...

Sorry babe!! :/

Derby here we come?

heh

That's exactly what I was doing until I noticed your post. Of course,
you weren't asking a question. Uh, that'd require A QUESTION MARK,
wouldn't it? Never mind.

I had a cat named Fluffy. And another named Cutie. Anywhooo, thanks for
the *response* to my effing post.

Well, the Union Jack is certainly one kickass flag:

Plus, I do love many of the following fine examples of British humoUr:

And I spent a month in Portsmouth with a few trips to London, to boot.
That was an absolute treat. (Well, there was the notebook-paper-texture
toilet tissue, but I suspect that was an isolated incident.)

Except it isn't, is it? It might be a kickass /Jack/ but it cannot be a
kickass /flag/.

Really, you should try harder.

Think so? Ever serve in any navy? Been on an HMS or a USS ~*ANYTHING*~?
Didn't think so.

Do you really know enough about me to make this assumption? Evidently
not, because you are very very wrong.

By the way, you do realise there actually is a difference between the
Union Jack and the Union Flag right? (and I don't mean, on is used on
big boats, the other on land).

Do I want to? Not especially.

People make assumptions all the time, so I'll go with "Yes!"

How so? You've served in the military? Care to expand on your initial
reply to my post or do you prefer to /answer/ with additional
questions?

Is this an argument? A discussion? Is this a thread you wish to
continue? Are you looking for a jackstaff? Somethingsomething does not
compute.

Ah, we agree! Splendid.

And what of "Is this a thread you wish to continue?" then?

I'll take the fact that you actually continued the thread as basis to
assuuuuuume your answer is yes! Again, splendid.

Still, wh-wh-what will Rusty think?
