I saw you at the bash, recognised who you were but couldn't put your screen name to said face.
I'm sure you even said Rogan to me but as my ears were all blocked owing to illness, I couldn't hear you. So please excuse my blank-faced expressions.......
I'm having to apologise to a lot of people for having blocked ears and illness.

he called my name from the other side of the room, thought I was ignoring him, and left.
Rather Odd that is, twice he has done that.

Somebody kept telling me they were a "gamer" but I kept hearing "gay man". Took me three attempts to receive the message.

I misheard Slim about 20 times.......I asked him what time the football was to start.....I thought he said "quarter to 3", turns out he said "one til three", my next question of how long is it booked for drew a surprised expression.
I know this cos my mate was there and he thought I was weird too.

i had the same problem - weird ear thing...
at one point i thought Bovine pointed at the ground and shouted "shark!!"... of course he said nothing of the sort.
and I met this bloke who said his name was "Joyce"... I kept looking at him puzzled... "Joyce" he said, "Joyce!"... then I said, "are you new to the board, i've never seen your name"... it was Choice...

I was sure he was called Fork, and made a clever quip about now we needed "knife" to join the board, so we could have a full set of cutlery

although I like the idea..........
There were so many people like your good self who I wanted to talk to properly but just didn't get the chance. I didn't like to interrupt people.

lurk on the edge of conversations and laugh loudly at inappropriate times, you'll soon be accepted ;)
I only saw you the once, or I would have said hello again. ah well, there's always next time!

if I can be bothered. To be honest I found it all too weird. I think I'd prefer a smaller bash, more intimate whereby you get to speak to say 10 or so people max. That way you find out more about them individually rather than just * "oh hello Rogan, liked your owl pic" and then that's it......

it's mainly why i didn't go... I've met most of the b3tans that I want to... barring a couple and I'd rather meet them when one can actually have a convseration.
still they are a good way to make first contact with other b3tans...

are always like that, but if you can hang out at someone's place afterwards, or meet a group of people in the pub the next day it's normally a lot of fun.

cos most of these scenarios are either in Manchester or London. I am Mr chap in the middle and so only get to these places maybe once a year (if that)......then they kind of have to be for the big occasions.
