You may well be correct
and when I eventually turn up to a bash I promise to be as open-minded as possible towards everyone, except Plumdozer, obviously

Obviously.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 10:36, Reply)

It only makes sense to be as nice as possible
cos if we do get on despite my inital misgivings I'll feel like an arse for misjudging you, and if we don't I won't have gained anything. So I will make an effort, honest. Plumdozer would have to buy me beers all night and wear a T-shirt saying "sorry I'm such a cock online" to even gain an upgrade from "ouright blanking" to "withering contempt"

Meeting people is a real change
Very different in real life than on here. For example, I'm not that much of a prick in real life.

Although I've been informed I get very opinionated when drunk...

The reason I say apparantley is because BGB won't tell me what I was actually saying!

This is my main problem with the prospect of coming to a bash
I will almost certainly get drunk and say something eminently regrettable which will fast become the stuff of meme

At your first bash, be careful on the booze
After that, do as you wish.

Depends if Ms Foxtrot comes
If she does I'll have to stay sober to make sure she has fun, she's really shy around new people and gets very wound up when I'm accused of gayness
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 11:03, Reply)

I'd advise against bringing a significant other to your first bash, or you'd likely find it difficult to shift from conversation to conversation, which is important.

Good point
And I have an idea of what to talk about with whom, whereas she'll just be bemused. On the other hand, the chances of her having no problem with me buggering off to London or wherever for the weekend without her is slim, let alone if I say the purpose is to meet a load of randoms off the internet

That's a bridge to cross when you come to it, I'm afraid.

You really shouldn't have mentioned that
You massive gayer

There's always someone drunker.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 11:03, Reply)

True
The problem is that I've been that person, though I feel I kept myself together well. They were serving a very tasty ale, after about 5 pints I could feel the room spinning, turns out it was about 6.2%. Was a little quiet after that...

It's not just that,
I think when you get to speak to people in real life you can judge their tone better online and then realise when they're joking/trying to wind you up or if they're actually annoyed with you.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 10:44, Reply)

That's a very good point
I'm aware that my biggest failing when it comes to online forums is my inability to distinguish good-natured yet massively offensive ribbing from outright arseyness

this, plus i'm thick so it's even worse!

I have no idea what you're banging on about.

No worries Chompster.

Aye
I know of (at least) 4 b3tans who don't like me on here or in real life, ah well. Life goes on really.

What;s dozer done?
Did I miss cuntery online??
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 10:48, Reply)

Not going into it now
Remember when I thought I'd seriously wound you up because of a response to something you said, and you told me not to be such a daft soft sod, or words to that effect? Since then I've been trying to see the funny side in the things people say etc so that I don't jump the gun, but I cannot see anything in the way Plumozer conducts himself that isn't just unbelievably cunty. Personal preference.

I don't like him.

I'm going to start judging/rating all his posts.

Where is he

If Noel doesn't like him then he must be a wanker

See Noel likes me so I can't be that bad

Noel likes me too
so we can't both be right. Or Noel is just too nice.

Noel hates me
you should see the hateful filth he posts on my wall.
