Not exactly on topic but...you'll see where it fits (ooer Mrs etc)
As some of you know, I play the guitar, I'm divorced and (used to) study Aikido. These facts will all become relevant later.
As I was divorced, I had a flat with a spare bedroom, which I rented out to a mate from Aikido. With me so far?
Said mate had a brother (who also had studied Aikido) in a band - we went to see them on several occasions and a jolly good time was had by all. Mate's brother then started coming over to my place for jam sessions on my extensive collection of acoustic guitars, we started to perform in pubs, had many drunken nights together and became firm friends.
In the course of a conversation one night, mate's bro was waxing lyrical about a website he'd found that was hilarious and had pictures & stories on it and was a jolly nice place to hang out - in a cyber sense.
"Oh yeah, what's it called"? I asked
"B3TA" he replied.
"Fuck RIGHT off! Seriously?! I'm on there" I opined.
"No! I'm Pooflake" He said.
"Well fuck me rigid, I'm Captain Placid".

Admittedly it was only a few months that we'd both been B3TANs but it was a revelation that we'd known each other ore quite a while, jammed and gigged together but never knew we were both on B3TA.

And yes, we've met other B3TANs, all of whom seem normal.

Bizarre - I've discovered that at work I sit next to a long-time b3ta lurker
But that hardly counts as an intermeet.

I read this, hoping that you might turn out to be Steven Seagal.
What a dissappointment.
