UK meetup 2008 aftermath: There never was a pig ;_;

YES!

The UK meetup has passed, so it is time now to share with you the chronicles of the ZUers that attended.

I shall be posting my pictures sometime soon, explaining WHY most of them are of food ;P

Now, I believe it is time to express myself.

Guy Westcott:

You, sir, are AWESOME! You lived up to my expectations of you and THEN SOME! You were just such a cool guy.

Liquid Fire:

What can I say, you were so layed back about the whole thing, and I think you were pleasantly suprised when you got into the swing of things ^-^

Fox Mcloud:

:} I finally got to meet you. YOU, AAAAAAH! :3 coolcoolcoolcool!
Sturg:

After stating your role in the Nayru clan quite...eeer...awesom-ly? You suddenly became much more legendary than you already where! Although...the supreme overlord of nayru could not open a packet of cream crackers...


Dom:

Thank you for helping us out on the trip up there, would have just been two idiots on a train otherwise, so heres to you, DOM!

Tiroth:

I did not really interact with you all that much, but that still does not mean I have not taken a liking to you, good sir! ^-^

Hazz:

Nutter...stark raving loony...now I know why he is a legend.

Awkin:

A suprising fellow, he was as interesting in real life as he is on the forums...if a bit...elusive ;P

Nenu...Nenu?

Ah, Again, I did not interact with you much, but after walking past the 'crapple' store, and hearing your short-but-to-the-point rant on why apple suck...INSTANT RESPECT!

Anime_Queen:

Well, it was just such a pleasure to finally meet you, you were just...so unbelievably kind and friendly!
I can't believe I ever thought your were going to wring my neck when I stole your thunder!



Just, to all, you are an AMAZING bunch of people, thank you for making my first meetup, one to remember

Ahh, sorry, I had nothing to say...plus it was hard to hear anything and I did not want to waste your/doms credit by blabbering

It was my credit. Well, free minutes.

Don't worry, I have plenty. I'm on contract ;)

Well, I certainly can't hear that enough!

I shall also say stuff about people.

Nenu...Nenu?

Even though Apple is awesome? You poor child, you're so confused...
Apart from that, I agree with Lavvy.


Lavvy:
I've hardly seen you on the forums, so I didn't really know what to expect from you, but when I met you I realised immediately I was going to like you. Great guy!

Liquid Fire:
The only person who turned up who I knew (as in, knew and spoke to, on MSN, rather than have seen and briefly spoken in forums, like with lots of you guys) already, so it was great to meet you at last. You are pretty much exactly how I thought you would be. But of course, I already knew you were cool.

Asia:
Renowned as you are, it was a great honour to meet you - and a pleasure on account of your being a wonderful, kindly and funny person, and also you liked my poem, so I like you for that too

Fox McCloud:
You are also amazing (I'm now struggling to find different adjectives, to avoid my message about each person being exactly the same), so it was great to meet you. I cannot wait to see you at the next meetup, if we are both there, of course.

Link on Fire:
We didn't speak much, but I like you too. You seem like a great person, so I hope to see you again next time.

Sacred Sturgeon:
We hardly spoke, but you amused me quite a lot. Witty, and all round awesome. Which brings me to,

Hazz:
I think Lavvy said it best, to be honest. Not a lot that I can add. Oh except that you were late and we had to wait forever for you to arrive.

Dom:
Again, I don't have a great deal I can say, beyond "you are a cool guy". And you too are studying psychology, that's interesting.

Tiroth:
I spoke to you a bit, later on in the event, and again you're a great person and I'm pleased to have met you - can't wait til next time.

Awkin:
You are an awesome person, good natured and funny, and the only one who thought to bring a board game to the event, so it seems a little beneficial practical madness was evident too. That's a good thing, by the way.

In short, you were all great people, and I'm glad I met you.

I also have some more to say, regarding the universe.

I think it conspired to help us.

I was disappointed that JordanKnight didn't make it. However, it was only later that I realised that, if he had, we would have been a party of thirteen! Nought could be more unlucky!

Then, if thirteen had all sat down to dine together, the first to rise would be the first to die. So maybe, as a failsafe, in case he did make it, that is why Pizza Hut was packed, and we got separated?

We are such lucky people!

EDITED

Oh, and you all have my MSN, AIM and mobile number, so if anyone wants to add me on MSN/AIM or call me, feel free, but never call me at a ridiculous hour in the morning (such as any time before 6PM on weekends, as I am nocturnal whenever I'm not in college), because I'll probably just rant into the phone.

*stickies thread*

I don't plan on staying up much longer, so I'll upload my ninety photos (minus the anomalies - Fox knows what I mean) and get a proper post in tomorrow. Just want to say that it was great fun, and I'm very glad I got the chance to turn up. ^_^

Here are the few photos I actually took. Anyone who wants pictures of them taking down, do let me know.













[Will post more photos as they upload. Slow work trying to get them to do that]
[Why are they different sizes?]

Rothy better send me all 90 photos. Haret promised me them all :<

Haret can promise 'til he's blue in the face - I ain't putting up the anomalies.

And just a shout-out to everyone who was there: When I upload the photos, take a look through, and if there's anything in there you object to me showing people, then tell me which one and why in a PM. I'll see about taking it down.

Yeah, my 6 photos are uploaded now, as with Tiroth if anyone objects, let me know and I'll get rid.
