Nice Happy Thread

in Politics & Debate
I was wondering if people would be interested in a politics meet (don't necessarily have to sit and discuss politics) sometime in the fall? Or are we happy being mean to each other behind the screens?

I am just really curious on what people are like, so thought I'd at least suggest it.

    In light of how many "friends" are made on here, can I suggest that the actual venue etc is kept to e-mail...

    I can think of a few trolls who might want to spoil a decent evenings drinking...

    You know what's scary though, I was thinking about it last night...

    I'd be up for it, but would we actually end up killing each other?

    I met with Major Tom and She Devil last year, which was fine. People are usually OK in real life. Me? I'm a cuddly pussy cat.

    I'd be interested in one, on the sole condition that it was not in London.

    You seem incredibly cool. Come, or else the consequences are so bad, you'll forever be tormented by G Man.

    So where will it be?

    I'm probably not in a position to suggest anything as i'll be out the way in Exeter then.

    Unless you all want to come and enjoy Devon and cheap student alcohol. ;)

    Cheap booze. No Stella, or cheap spirits. I've started on Russian Vodka; No way am I going back. Its so different and smooth...

    I'd imagine a meet would be a lot quieter than the forum! Also, wouldn't we all be reffering to each other as our screen names until we got used to people actual names?

    Can you imagine that in a pub.

    "Where's Blagsta gone with the beers?"

    "I dunno i think i saw wheresmyplacebo with him earlier"

    C"ome on Man of Kent lets go look for him" =)
