I've lost track of the "meeting" thread in General Chat and who said what, so I though I'd conduct a simple poll. _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com

Why didn't you vote 'I'm not from the UK' - you're always going on about being the forum greek.
I'm up for this, wherever it's going to end up, whenever it's going to end up.
I'll go through the other thread in a bit and pick out the dates people say they can make, and we can go from there. _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |

No, like I said, i'm not going to trash the thread
Just because your location says London doesn't mean you're *from* there.
You're always sounding off about how you're a cypriot, the forum greek, even your email address lends credence to you having a strong connection back to where you really come from.
You can either be culturally from another country, but call yourself English or whatever, and that's fine. But saying, you're going to jump ship the moment you get the chance, how you're culturally from another country, suggests to me something else. Now you're thrashing about like a Turkish waiter on his honeymoon with you now trying to claim how you're from England...
Anyway, the thread _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |

Boredom.
Context of poll question = location.
Location = London
Cultural Context = Cyprus
Cultural Context DOES NOT EQUAL Poll Question Context.
Anything else need explaining? You killed my lulz.

By way of a cookie for Nebrios, because it's part of his cultural heriatage, and hopefully something he can take pride in:
A traveller's tale from the 1950s, when Britain was extremely prim and proper, and 'breast' was a dirty word.
Apart from fuckwits like Clive James and Germaine Greer, of whom Australia is proud to be rid, most Australians are happy to be thoroughly Australian wherever they go, but also comfortable wherever they happen to be. Being conflicted is a state of mind that just doesn't occur to them because they are just having fun. Ditto for Kiwis.
If the fun is at anyone else's expense, thats because they are wankers who deserve to have fun made at their expense. Once my Dad and a Kiwi friend turned up at a British aristocratic party, late and dirty because of fixing their car when it broke down.
One snobby lady said "Oh, we were expecting some colonials", in a disparaging tone. "Where exactly do you come from?", in anticipation of sneering at the location.
In response to that very public attempt to make them feel small, the Kiwi - Kevin Aspenall - bit the side out of his beer glass, spat it on the ground in front of her, and said very loudly "I come from the land where men are men and women are double-breasted!"
After that, they were the life of the party. If you don't know how to put Brits in their place, why are you there? |

and Paul Kelley, Phar Lap, the list is long and stellar. We didn't even have a word for oral sex before we heard Kiwis counting beyond five. |

Well seems at least 5 people are up for a meet, so to try to stop chopping and changing between threads, lets keep all discussion to the one thread (makes things slightly easier )
The official meet thread would be better being the one in the general chat sub forum. _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |
