*F* Colchester 0.99a meet report.
Paul A Rood
And so it came to pass in the 10th month of the
1996th year that there was a meet, in colchester.
Attendees included:
Robert Collier
BSL Simes
Karen (the V.Vixen)
Kate (Karens friend[1])
Paul 'Captain Custard' Rood
Emmet 'The tart' O'Brien
The meet commenced with "Two hours in the life of
colchester station" by BSL 'Who needs a contact
number' Simes.
YHN then arrived with Pauls Number :)
Emmet was already on the premises. Toast and Tea
were consumed.
After adjorning to the pub Paul fed 2 pounds into
a fruit machine (trying to win back previous
losses), Emmet became somewhat the worse for
drink and many rants about different SF authors
and there books where indulged in.
Other topics of conversation included computer
games, peoples jobs and who's turn it was to buy
a round.
After being chucked out of the pub we returned to
the Rood residence and got stuck into some
serious vodka drinking (except for Paul, who went
to bed). Topics of conversation are now too hazy
to be remembered with any clarity. Doubtless
someone will follow up with more details.
The now traditional Random Quotes[2]:
"God I have no brain!" - Paul Rood.
"Oh Emmet, Thats *Wonderfull*" - The Vodka Vixen
"It squeeks because I haven't oiled it" - V.V.
"Rob, you tart" - Emmet.

And I've now remembered that Darrell phoned to make silly excuses
about why he hadn't come to the meet - something about being corrupted
by kitten... <d&r>

Arrghh. I blame lack of sleep, stupidity and the fact that I was
trying to finish the report before Paul got back from the station...

This is being posted and not mailed as being in a town for two and a
half days and _not_ getting to the meet there takes some doing, and
requires a very public eating of humble pie.
My story starts on Friday, I checked the group at about 7.30 am, no mail
and no posts about a meet.
Went to the railway exhibition, we won best layout BTW, and got dragged
along to the club do on Sat night, the behaviour of our Chairman made me
wish I had known about the meet so I could have escaped and joined you
lot!
Sun night got home about 11pm and checked group, 300+ messages including
meet announcement! :-((
Mon evening got another 100+ messages and meet reports.
I am really going to try to get to London on the 16th, so I should see
some of you there.
Again, many apologies to the people I missed, I didn't do it on purpose!

It's simple really. In order to get Emmet to call you a tart you
merely have to act in such a fashion as to make Emmet think you are a
tart. Clear?

empirical evidence shows that anyone even vaguely
cuteifing/patronising/snideing at kitten gets to play with the _majorly_
sharp claws. further more given the tendency towards cat loving (yay!) even
token defense will get you labeled cruel nasty dastardly evil inflicter of
badness towards cats/kats.
besides, second most horrible weapon known to the human race. most
horrible, merkin tv. which is why my tv became a cricket watching machine
about four years ago.
