Given the size of the meet, YHN couldn't be everywhere at once. The meet for him consisted of; Quotes, Drinks, Geeking, Quotes, User-friendly Cartoons, Megamole and the AFPMadrigal Society performing at him. Quotes, Hugs, and being used as a seat :) oh, and there were some quotes too... Report. YHN arrived at about 17:45 to the hello's of many AFP'ers, who had commandeered a corner of the pub, and the gentle strains of the AFPMadrigal Society having a practice. . Greetings were made, and hugs were given and received, and many names had faces put to them. Soft cuddly toys appeared, among them two nessies, the Baby Seal of Approval (which received the usual chorus of aahhhhh!s), and a small sown turtle, which was promptly christened Little A'Tuin. After YHN persuaded Megamole that he couldn't sing Bass (thanks for the seconding Suzi), conversation returned to the musical discussion that was going on previously. More attendees arrived, and more greetings were made, and conversation quickly fragmented. More attendees arrived, and things started to really get fun. Megamole, Peter, and Kheldar continued geeking music; Some User friendly comic strips were produced and declared funny by most people; and Peter found himself handcuffed with a silk scarf. More people arrived and conversations became very hard to follow. Gid and Leo began geeking Welsh, and frightening poor MiQ in the process. Carol produced a motorised hedgehog, which proceeded to "have fun" with a smaller fluffy animal. The meet began to spread out and occupy more of the pub. >From this point on, things became to hectic for YHN to follow. He began to talk to Nick, Jester, about the various lusers encountered in the computer industry, (Nick supplied a very funny story about a Luser that phoned the helpdesk to complain that the coffee machine had been removed from outside his office). He remembers that there was a lot of backrubs going on, (and Carol didn't receive one). He remembers the Kheldar was subjected to some advanced torture techniques by Vicci who refused to give him a hug for almost the entire evening, only hugging him right at the end of the night. He remembers saying goodbye, and getting more hugs. Any event after that will have to be recounted by someone else, as I haven't managed to get the hang of remote psychic reporting. Other than that, he opens the floor to memories other people have... The Quote File. My point about Handel is he was severely beaten up by a tenor. - Kheldar Ah, a Wibble on the n, that explains a lot. - Kheldar on how Anejo is spelt. I'm fed up with him quoting me. - Gid. To take three very well known examples, ummm... - Kheldar. Help, They're Welsh Geeking - MiQ. I'm not actually particularly perverted. - Selina. But you _can_ be persuaded...? - Megamole. What's going on??? I've been tied up!!! - Peter. Just 'cos you're more attractive than me, s'not my fault. - Kheldar Can I have that in writing please!!! - Barry R I'm not staring at your tits, I'm resting my head on them and staring at Lottie's. -Peter I'm not being sneaky, I'm being Blatant. - Tap The only thing I've pulled is a muscle. - Jon I have to twizzel it, or the tassels confuse me. - Peter It completely destroys your self of sense-worth. - Anejo My body's not so much a temple, as much of a pleasure palace. - Carol What you've got there is head. - Kheldar What's going on here? - Sonic Nothing, except for talk about sex and black leather. - Megamole Put you chest away before I have to launch myself across the table. - Julia to Tap. Are his [Megamole's] hands warm? - Tap Yes - Jules. They should be, He's just farted on them. - Tap Gid's is soft... Imeanthishair. - Julia If you've got the money for it, it helps. MiQ Get on with it Thomas. - Megamole I am! - Thomas. Not even Viagra is that quick. - Julia AFP stands for Alt.Fan.Pratchettt doesn't it? - Vicci No, it stands for Alt Find-a.Partner. - Carol Yes!!!!! - Big Jules You're just a hug slut - Tap to Julia I went as a tart. Fishnets and everything - Kheldar You actually shaved your legs? - Anejo Yes. For the next six weeks your legs are on fire. - Kheldar It's shrunk - Nick Mind you, It's amazing the stories you hear about Pthomas. - Nick Ging-gang-gooliegooliegoolie HEDGEHOG! - Julia It's a Cabal member. - Nick on seeing the hugging teletubby. They're very impressive aren't they. - Ben Especially when they blow up and kill 200 people. - MiQ "The Ambassadors party" - Megamole "Reception" - Leo Oh god, Ferrero Rocher geeking!!! - Megamole Thats all for now folks.
