Monty Boyce asks: Have you ever had a real-life meet with somebody you first knew from the internet? How did it go? How long until the Asbo expires?

Nope, not met a single person through anything other than real life
There's some I'd love to meet from here.
I'd like to know if the funny, talented ones are social cripples with adult acne (it seems only fair that they're afflicted in some way).
I've been tempted with a bash, but I've not seen one down Brighton way and I'm not sure if they're a bit clique-y and a newby like me might be quite the odd one out.
Anyone got good reviews of turning up single handed to a bash and enjoying meeting new people, or did you just sit in the corner by yourself and get slowly paralytic?

They're not cliquey, and I've enjoyed every bash I've been at
Well worth a trip!

Seconded.

Maybe I'll keep an eye out for a do in Brighton, think I may have seen one in the calendar over the last few years.

I was in Hastings for a long time
Still not far from you, would love to turn up for a party!

Surely there must be a collection of b3tans down this way.
Brighton would be a good venue, plenty of boozers to choose from.

Plus only an hour or so from me and I know Brighton well
Cryiak is from your way no? I've never seen a b3ta shirt in my town ever despite seeing posts from people around here

There's a few in Portsmouth...
I think someone should sort a South Coast bash - I quite fancy a weekend by the sea :)

There are definitely a few Brightonians
Me, for a start

And some in Hove, actually.
(, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 15:26, closed)
I know Hove too.
I'm a bit further inland now but the South Coast is my home

I'm in Brighton to but I rarely post.

I live in Hove and I'm in your house right now.

Shit
If you join me in the wardrobe we could have a mini-bash

This all looks promising.
Now all we've got to do is talk about mutual places of interest, procrastinate a bit and see if anyone takes the bull by the horns and starts up a bash.
I quite like the Temple Bar in Hove. Not been out in Brighton for years, Alley Cats was a good 'un in the 90's but I'm sure everyone would want to avoid the Mordor that is West Street.
Let me know if the final bit ever happens.

^ This
I've never been brave enough to suggest a Bash in case no-one turns up. Would love to meet a few new peeps though!

Thought of organising one at mine (I run a pub) but I didn't want to be that sad person surrounded by party rings and bowls of hula hoops crying into my glass of orangeade because no one came to my party
(, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 15:51, closed)
Ha ha ha!
I doubt it in Brighton, although if the public knew we were coming...
(, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 15:56, closed)
You run a pub in Brighton? Sounds like a plan!
I'd come

I've often wondered
About setting up a beach one. Not bloody likely now though.

Everyone from Brighton is a massive, hairy bully who smells of old horses.

(, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 15:55, closed)

I'll have you know that none of my horses are older than 18 months
(, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 15:57, closed)
So your story is:
My Dad comes from Brighton and bullies me with his horses?
(, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 15:58, closed)
I'm not a bully!

This is totally going to sound like I'm "trying to start something", but it's just an honest question, borne out of curiosity...
Have you been to any bashes, AB? If not, would you consider one?
(, Sat 22 Oct 2011, 10:23, closed)
I would also like to attend one
Given that I've been on here for nearly 6 years now and not met a single soul.

Excuse me while I put my violin away.

Cock this wibble for a tub of shit.
I'm ultra noob and live decades away but will come to a thing where great people are. If you build it, we will arrive. That's from a real film, that quote.

I'd do it, I promise. As long as no-one takes an organ out of me, or puts one in me, I'd be happy. Free bar?

This monkey also lives in Brighton* and is allowed beer
*well, Hove, actually
