Aye, that I am
Oop t'see t'Internet ont' moo-ers and oh fuck it I can't do Yorkshire accents. But yes, I'm doing a litle tour of The North next week seeing as it's a bank holiday. I may also be bringing a (very brave) non-internetter to meet the internet.

Brilliant news, good.
I considered bringing a non-internetter this time but I thought the in-jokes and general freakishness of the crowd might lead to them not being my friend any more, so she's staying here. I keep trying to convince her to sign-up but she has this thing called a "life" or some things, sounds fucking boring to me but *shrugs*

I think my non-internetter should be safe
He's met Lampers and Monty before and has known three b3tans (including me) since long before we became One With The Internet. Plus he's my faithful old drinking partner and so is in no danger of having one of these "lives."

Is he fit?

I don't know, he's a little on the portly side.
I'm just curious to see which of the two of us will have longer hair by the time I get Oop North.

Are you having some kind of race?

He started growing his so he'd have enough to headbang effectively at a Status Quo gig
(no word of a lie) and he's not cut it since. I occasionally get bits lopped off mine when it's getting a bit excessive. He has mocked me for this, so if I've managed to catch up with him on the length front (fnar) then I shall be suitably smug.

I think I'm looking forward to meeting him.
I'm growing mine for no particular reason, I look a bit stupid at the moment but I kind of like that.

If nothing else, after a few beers he'll be obstinate and opinionated enough to make a good substitute for Monty
I'm trying to imagine you with a longer barnet - I've only ever known you with the short hair/beard combo.

Mind you, even Al supposedly had enormous dreadlocks at one point...

Edit: Don't be discouraged. In the transition between Socially Acceptable Hair and Long Flowing Locks, there is often a period of Looking Like a Dickhead. Stick with it, you never know what you might be able to achieve.

Re your edit, I have no idea where to go with it, and I certainly won't have long, flowing locks, I'll probably be more crazy wavy curly afro man than that.
I'm in it for the experiment, in honesty. I used to change my appearance week by week with my hair, beard and clippers and I realised I've looked the same for the past couple of years, so I fancied a change. It's certainly gone past one awkward stage already and I'm wearing my hats less which is always a good sign. In reality I don't mind looking like a cunt - with a face like mine I had to get over that years ago :)

Can we make fun of the non-internetter?

I don't want to be at any kind of party where we can't.

Good
we can now do 2 things together and have fun while everybody else gets drunk.
