Pub Trip: Every Wednesday

[DAve]

As from now on, we will meeting every week in Jim's bar / the games room in the first floor of the QMU on University Gardens.

Wednesdays from about 8pm it is then, see you there.

[Tiberio]

sounds good to me, but i won't be able to come this wednesday (21st) as the IO has a movie night and i already passed out on the first meeting, is there any other day we could possibly meet up, or should i just come the next wednesday?

[Exuus]

You do realise that a lot of the GUNS members are also IO members?

[Strings]

The hell are IO members? Or IO for that matter?

[DAve]

Io is short for the Science-fiction and fantasy society.

They're showing Shaun of the Dead in the Boyd orr building this Wednesday at 7pm.

Their website is http://iosoc.org.uk

Aye! Watch the film, then we can go to the QM! Everyone wins! YAY!

*dances*

You coming this time Strings?

[Strings]

Definitely matey. Never knew there was an Sci/Fantasty thing, will have to give it a look. But the only scifi and fantasy stuff I like are books.

I will hang my head in shame. I'm the publicity chap for the sci-fi soc, you see.

I would recommend it to anyone, the closest friends I have are in that club and I even met my (lovely) wife there.
Oh, and something about great films and fun games there too :D

They've got a website (http://iosoc.org.uk) and forum (http://lordofthemoon.com/ioforum/) too, doncha know.

[Strings]

Where abouts are you going to be in the QM? Jims Bar etc? I think I know to look for a guy with ginger hair. Maybe.

[DAve]

Shaun of the dead is in the Boyd Orr from 7pm.

After that, we'll be in Jim's bar (1st floor) from 9pm ish. If we're not there, try the games / pool room on the 1st floor.

We'll be the ones looking geeky :)

[Strings]

8PM aye?

I'll be wearing a Mogwai T Shirt.

[Sideshow]

I will be there, somewhere. Probably <strike>playing pool with</strike> owning Bluepixie at pool.

[DAve]

Yep, about 8pm in the QM Jim's bar or Games room.

(I'll be in the QM committee room 1 for Io, so will down later on)

Almost right.

[Sideshow]

I saw no man wearing a Mogwai T-Shirt.

[Fyndir]

I saw no man wearing a Mogwai T-Shirt.


No worries, if I turn up tomorrow I'll be easy to spot, I currently have no eyebrows.

Boredom + Shaving + Curiosity = Bad Combination.


[Which reminds me, I need to find out where my shaving stuff ended up when I moved...I look stupid. =(]

Although for me to turn up I'd need to make my way from Bearsden to the flat THEN up to the QMU within two hours.

Probably doable, but I dunno if I can be bothered, oh well.

Then again, this is all assuming that I'll be able to find ANY of you if I turn up, and that some of you will actually be there.

[Bluepixie]

Ok, I may not have made it last week, but I shall be going this Wed. Would be nice to see some of you new guys before the Lan! Watch as I thrash Sideshow at pool!

Not. Damn it , why does he always beat me!?!?

I seem to be better, so I should be there. =)

I'll play some pool if you're up for it, I'll need to find a nice obvious shirt to wear to make me easy to identify..

How does a white, baggy Maddox "Every Animal" shirt sound? =P

http://theworstpageintheuniverse.com/images/animal_shirt2.jpg

[Bluepixie]

:lol:

I'll definately spot that one! I'll be wearing my Darwinia T-shirt (see avatar) or my Monster Jam! T-shirt (which is red and wore it at the last lan see pics!)

[Strings]

You have a Darwinia T Shirt? Never knew you could get them :? The only random gaming T Shirts I have is a HL2 and an old Little Big Adventure one.

[Anonymous]

I think I will pop down, dont have any gaming shirts but I know strings ;)

[Fyndir]

I think I will pop down, dont have any gaming shirts but I know strings ;)

Haha, you're not as geekily useless as us. =(

[DAve]

I got the half-life 2 box set.
Apart from HL2, it was shit. A crap t-shirt with a single hl2 symbol in the middle and a postcard. It was pants.

Still, I got CS:S in it. It was probably worth it in the end.

Haha, I just payed however much for HL2 in the shop months after it came out and still got CS:S. =P


I win.

[nemesis]

Yep, I should be there! (on the eve of my 18th ;))

[Fyndir]

Yep, I should be there! (on the eve of my 18th ;))

Haha, you're older than me.

You're statistically more likely to die sooner than me. =P

[Strings]

Well thats indeed pleasant. You guys going to just be in the pool room at 8?

[Exuus]

I might put in an appearance.

[Fyndir]

Well thats indeed pleasant. You guys going to just be in the pool room at 8?

That's where I'll be if I come.

EDIT: Never mind, not able to come tonight, something's come up. -_-

2nd EDIT: Never mind the never mind, plans changed again. 0_0

Also I can't find the right fucking shirt, so it'll have to be this one:

[Fyndir]

A mild failure on my part I think, stayed for an hour and didn't see any likely looking people.

Sorry lads.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, only seat I could see so I sat myself for a full hour before giving up. =(

Psh, don't worry about it, better luck next time, eh? =P

[nemesis]

yeh man, next week I wont be such an ass and be marvelled at the fact that I'm actually being sold drink!!!

[Fyndir]

Haha, I don't even drink so it's Pepsi all the way for me. =)

However I will stand my round like a good boy.

[nemesis]

Good stuff!

(i <3 being 18 )

I think :s

[Fyndir]

Good stuff!

(i <3 being 18 )

I think :s

I <3 the fact that I have 81 posts [correct at time of writing]. 0_0

I dunno how I managed it, seriously, I only signed up a week or two ago. XD

[Sideshow]

Sorry we missed you all. The Dick doorman was on, and wouldn't let me or Yega in because we didn't have our passports with us. Such a fanny. We left and came back at 11pm, once the shift had changed, but I guess ya'll had left by then.

07732644387

A solution!

Next time that happens call me and I'll sign you in as guests. =P

But yeah, I got there at about 8 and hung around until just after 9, since no-one had talked to me I guessed that no-one was going to, so I just wandered off.

[Sideshow]

Ah, you are failing to understand how much of a twathead Michael the Doorman is. We had two people with us who could sign us in (Blupixie and his brother). The guy still wanted ID (every other doorman accepts my UGC card - since it is photo ID). Twathead would only accept drivers license or passport. Dick.

[Fyndir]

Ok, new plan.

You distract him, phone me, I'll sneak up behind him Ninja style and knife him then a big deep voice will yell "HUMILIATION" and he'll be all "OMFGHAX" and we'll all laugh.

k?

To be honest, I don't think it's just that guy - I've found all the bouncers to be the same. The QM's been like that for years, though - they won't let anyone through the door without a student card, drivers license or passport and then you also need signed in if you're a non-student. It's a strict door policy but it usually stops the underagers.

Sideshow: Off-topic, but I noticed you haven't signed up for the CS tournament yet. I thought you seemed to be into CS a lot and would've been pretty keen? You interested in playing?

[Sideshow]

I've always found all the other doorman to be friendly and helpful. Maybe they just don't like the cut of your jib :)

As to CS torny, I'm undecided at the mo. Is it happening at the LAN, or some other time? Anyway, the idea of random teams is not appealing, when the teams are only two men strong.

[Fyndir]

I thought it was planned to be three man teams?

[Sideshow]

Is it?

[Fyndir]

Is it?

I don't know, I could be wrong and I'm busy getting dressed and brushing my hair and such.

Go check you lazy git. =P

[Sideshow]

Hey, I'm at work! I don't have time to go running around checking up on stuff; I'm busy... working. You know, working. Yeah.

[Fyndir]

Working?

That's why you're replying as fast as me who's sitting here brushing his long, luxurious hair? =P

[Sideshow]

I don't understand your point, and anyway, I'm too busy to answer right now, so I'll get back to you later.

[Fyndir]

I don't understand your point, and anyway, I'm too busy to answer right now, so I'll get back to you later.

You're just wanting to keep your postcount nice and high so I don't become Supreme PostCount Ruler of EVERYTHING!

=P

I love spam, don't you?

[Sideshow]

Well, you're never gonna catch Bluepixie or DAve, so no, not really. In fact, all this thread is doing is helping you get more counts. Actually, what I'm doing is fast forwarding your approach to the next gun, so you have to go to the effort of changing your pic again. :)

[Sid]

Is it?

Yeah, it's definitely going to be 3-man teams and it's going to be happening at the November LAN. I tried to answer any questions that would arise in the thread (http://guns.snakebomb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177).

The teams are going to be random simply to try and make it as fair as possible. If possible, the 6 most experienced CS match players would be seeded as team-leaders.

I love high post counts, seriously, changing the avatar is no problem to me, there's not THAT many guns left. =P

(2 more to whatever's next)

[Sideshow]

Only two more?

[Fyndir]

Only two more?

Unless it's changed, it's been every 10 posts so far and this is my 89th post I'm writing now. =P

[Sideshow]

I'm pretty sure it's not 2.

[Fyndir]

I'm pretty sure it's not 2.

Well I think it's gonna change with this post, so we'll have to see WHAT it changes to..

[Bluepixie]

man you two are like pair of old fish wives! :P

Sorry we missed you at the pub on Wed Fyndir. I shan't explain as Sideshow has done it for me. After speaking to the ex-president of the QMU, turns out that eveyone hates him and when she was in power, she tried to get him sacked. Nuff said. Think Jamie has been trying too.

BTW Sideshow, you gave me a bloody big bruse with that kick!

[Sideshow]

Hey, I was limping all of yesterday. For some reason I don't have a bruise though... I must do all my bleeding internally...

[Fyndir]

Well, you know what they say, right?

If it would help I could claim I was offended by his use of "big yin" as he seemed to be using it as a reference to my weight? =P

Fighting, ladies? =P

[Bluepixie]

Maybe we should just kill him.

Best.
Response.
EVER.

[Fyndir]

Not entirely relevant, but better than a new thread.

Apparently I'm going to Bedlam at the QMU tonight, if any of you are there come say Hi, I'll be the only one there with long hair and a dark coat, right? :lol:

No, but really, you know what I look like (picture on previous page of this thread) so come say Hi if you're there.

I'm going for a mildly generic "goff" look tonight, dark shirt with a button or two undone and my olld and rather tattered leather trenchcoat. =P

If I had black duct tape and makeup I'd do the "Chubby Crow" thing, just for hilarity. =P

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Exactly.

[Sideshow]

You're going for a mildly generic goth look... at bedlam...

[Sid]

Fancy dress is just "optional" this evening. :)

[Fyndir]

You're going for a mildly generic goth look... at bedlam...

I only found out I was going today. =/

So no time to get a halloween costume together, at all.

I basically just dressed up like I did when I was 14, seemed to work out. =P

Fancy dress is just "optional" this evening. :)

There were some REALLY good costumes aswell, also some that were utter shite.

[Fyndir]

Who all's coming tonight?

I'm gonna turn up and hope that someone comes over and says Hi, since I don't really know what any of you look like.

I'll be in my WoW Shirt (http://www.zestuff.com/product_image.php?imageid=117) and my big green jacket for wind-proofness, say NO to getting cold kids! =D

I hope someone comes and talks to me this time. =(

If there's a problem and you're stuck outside try phoning me [ 07732644387 ] and I'll come out to find you.

I make no promises for that working, my battery is mostly dead since my Sister "borrowed" my charger a few days ago, but I'll try and sort it.

EDIT: No-one talked to me.

I feel so unloved. =/

Oh well, see you Saturday morning I guess.

[Wind_Steaker]

cant make it tonight, revising for an exam tomorrow >_<

next week I probably will though, it always seems to rain on wedensday nights doesnt it.

[Sideshow]

Didn't see any WoW t-shirts. We were in the games room, playing pool in the far corner from the door. Did see two guys playing magic on the window sill, but didn't see you. Oh well. You'll get to meet us all on Saturday.

I was sitting with my back to the racing machine and the virtua cop machine.

Only spare seat when I got there.

[Bluepixie]

Sooooo, who is going this week?

[Fyndir]

Sooooo, who is going this week?

Not me, no money at all. =(

[DAve]

Me! I'll turn up somewhere in the QM as always. I'll find you chaps around 8-9pm.

[Sideshow]

+1

[nemesis]

+1

[YegaDoyai]

++

ah ha, see what i did there.

*hangs head in shame*

[Strings]

After skiving in a hospital ward... I have quite a lot of work to catch up on. So I might not be able to make it.

[Bluepixie]

eh? Do you not get a sick note and stuff? I've been ill during term time and aslong as you can prove that you were messed up (get Doc to write something) and send it to the reg and tell your department, they will take exceptions. They're quite nice about it actually.

[Sideshow]

So, I'm thinking - Get home from work, clean up, head round to yours (talking to BluePixie and YegaDoyai here) around 7pm, have a game of Dawn of War, and leave for the QM between 8pm and 9pm?

[YegaDoyai]

sounds good to me, might be me and pixie v you though. Pixie ain't played much.

[Sideshow]

Is Ruaridh's machine still at yours?

[YegaDoyai]

no

[nemesis]

-1 from me, cant make it this week

[Sideshow]

That would be 0, not -1. Unless you are removing someone else who has already affirmed....

[Bluepixie]

That would be 0, not -1. Unless you are removing someone else who has already affirmed....

Stop nit picking.

[Sideshow]

No, that wasn't nit picking. Nit picking would be criticizing Yega's post, because ++ doesn't make sense in this context. To wit:

(a) +1 is usenet slang, not derived from programming, to mean 'me too'

(b) If it was programming, then my +1 would stem from the end of:

i = i+1

meaning his ++ would be placed into the term like:

i = i++

which is stupid. In fact, I don't want to even think about it, because I am pretty damn sure that that term would break your code in some compilers.

See - that's nit-picking.

[DAve]

Even sideshow falls foul of sideshow's law #1:

http://guns.snakebomb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1211#1211

damn. <slap head on keyboard> must <bang> remember <whack> GUNS members <wollop> take everything <smack> literally <crunch>. Oops. Anyone got a spare laptop keyboard?

[Sideshow]

Hey, for all you know, you just fell foul of it.

[Sideshow]

Wait, hold on, did I just fall foul of it? Crap, this has gotten way too meta.

[DAve]

Wait, hold on, did I just fall foul of it? Crap, this has gotten way too meta.
Yep, you just did.

Sometimes, even I can't resist trolling.

[Sideshow]

Cockbite

[DAve]

Are there any more sideshow's laws we should be aware of?

[Sideshow]

Nothing springs to mind.

[DAve]

Damn.

So, Friday afternoon is here again.

[tumbleweed]

Any funny links, anyone?

[Sideshow]

Sigh. I too am bored at work, twiddling my thumbs, longing for 5pm.
So I'm going to go find you a link...
Ah - I saw this yesterday. It's pretty fucked up. Kind of.
http://www.stuntcook.com/index.php?i=15310
Do you feel ill, or just mildy disturbed?

[DAve]

Hmm, that was a bit odd.* Where do you find these things?

I don't think the human body was actually designed to do that.

*oddly I'm not repulsed. I'm relatively flexible myself, but I am strangly intrigued about where her internal organs end up when she does flex.

[Fyndir]

See - that's nit-picking.

You hush or no dinner before bed tonight. >=(

Bad Sideshow! BAD!

[DAve]

Regular Wednesday pub trip happening again this week :)

[YegaDoyai]

is that the first time you remembered to post this BEFORE the event?

[DAve]

Yes.

[YcMing]

Hmm will there be a pub trip to QM next wed (28-12) ^.^ ???

Hmmm how good would it be if QM has a RTS acade machine ^^ (i.e 1 punds for like 30 mins gaming of starcraft ) :P?

[Sideshow]

Hey Ming. Sorry I didn't catch you earlier - I was out at this weeks pub trip :)
Don't know if there's anything happeneing next wednesday - I have a feeling I will be busy. I'll talk to you nearer the time. Happy Christmas!
