The all new (scientifically organised) Cardiff Meet thread!

[LilMissHissyFit]

Woss all that about? I thought you were off to Gitmo on the 14th? Are you likely to get a day pass for the hours of 4-8pm? If so I'd gladly be down there earlier

I mean, they're not likely to let us into the ward with paper bags full of beer bottles, are they?

I go in on the 19th

I wont have had my op then but will be nil by mouth....

 

[phildwyer]

I'll aim for 7.30, probably can't stay after closing time...

 

[Gentleman Taff]

Are we all still on for this then, only I have to apply for my pass now.

Also does the fact that the egg chasing is on (kick of 5pm) affect anyone's plans?

 

[Col_Buendia]

I'm up for pints, but I'm confused as to RB's plans... only wants to spend 30 mins in the Vulcan in order "not to miss the Park Vaults"... does it close at 7.30pm or something?

If it suits people better we could kick off in the Vaults and move from there, someone make a decision quick, I'm easy so whoever has pressing concerns should pipe up.

Looking forward to seeing a few new faces

 

[phildwyer]

I thought RB was saying he wanted to catch the Vaults by closing time, and have a few in the Vulcan first. Anyway, I'm still up for it--Saturday around 7.30...

 

[RubberBuccaneer]

So what do you all look like then? Since on one previous meet, there was only two groups in the pub and they still missed each other.

Me- 39 1/2 Balding,crew cut, stocky, face thats been smacked a bit too much. Does that single me out enough in the VUlcan?

Yes you don't have any facial tattoos

 

[phildwyer]

Can we all carry copies of the Western Mail? Or will that get our head kicked in?

(I don't much fancy going up to stocky, crew-cutted, battered-face blokes in the Vulcan and asking if they're the 'Rubber Buccaneer,' as I'm sure you'll understand...)

innit!!
or "scuse me, are you here to meet people of the internet?"

where and how big is the vulcan? i know where park vaults is

i suggest maybe a sad sign ala 'urbanite gathering' (better than asking randoms) or a designated corner or whoever gets there first (ie COL the organisor ) telling the bar staff where we are and then people will just have to ask at the bar...

 

[spacemonkey]

Well fecking vote on it, so we can scientifically work out which is the most suitable date for all of us...

Although bitter experience tells me that regardless of the date, KBT, ddraig and meself will end up sitting in Dempsey's for a while, before Spacemonkey shows up hours later offering profuse apologies and stories of being skint

you got me, scarily accurate. I always turn up in the end though.

Unfortunatly the lab revelations are nothing to do with science and more to do with a member of staff losing his shit. He's flipped.

More news as it comes in (on the QT mind - the men in white coats don't to give him any advanced warning)

At first I thought we might have the first nobel prize winning urbanite....but this sounds much better! I demand the full story in it's own thread.

Rubber Buccaneer did well following my descrption and singling me out in a crowd outside Ninian park....anything could have happened walking up to a 6 ft 5 city fan and asking them if they are a "space....monkey".

 

[1927]

I'll be there just let me know here and when.

 

[Gentleman Taff]

With your little pick and shovel?

 

[Col_Buendia]

Aye, with all due respect to RB, I'd say 7-30 is a reasonable kick-off time for me, and I'm totally up for not settling in the Vulcan, but moving to the Vaults after a pint or two. (And I doubt I'll be out much beyond closing time anyway, tsk tsk, at my age in life )

Yous'll know me, 6'3" and Belfast accent, can't be missed

I'll maybe post up some even more incriminating details on Fri...

Yeah, well how am I supposed to ask people if they're Phil Dwyer.......'O son , no, I may look like the best central defender ever to grace the hallowed soil on Ninian but I'm unfit to tie his boots'

Anyway there are pubs you can go into where asking random blokes if they're the Rubber Buccaneer is considered a bit of a chat up line.

So Whos cried off then , anyone yet?

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

Me Watch them cancel my op now just to spite me

Lol It sounds like I'll be the only one there under seven ft!

 

[ddraig]

Lol It sounds like I'll be the only one there under seven ft!

nah i'm under 6ft! and don't have a crewcut

right who's gonna do a sign then? before as RB says, people start crying off...
just imagine if we could get all 9 people there

one day we'll get to double figures
one day

Well, I have ddraig's mob number, and I presume he still has mine. If anyone wants to PM me theirs, I'll do likewise.

Am I correct in thinking that we are loosely aiming for the Vulcan around 7.30 and then swiftly on to the Vaults after one pint?

 

[ddraig]

nice one and likewise
the prob with having 2 places is whether the people in the first place wait on for stragglers to arrive or go on to the 2nd place thinking they'll have the nouse to turn up there etc

so we need a who's coming list finalised by a certain time or it made clear on what time exactly it will be and where etc

not for me u understand mind i'll be wherever whenever, u knows it

so hands up!?

 

[Gentleman Taff]

so hands up!?

 

[Col_Buendia]

^^^ I think this was taken just moments before Pickman's Model offered George a custard pie in token of his deep-seated respect for Respect

 

[ddraig]

lol GT

no blydi politics on this thread

 

[1927]

Christ this is looking good!

We should even be able to find each other as I know Rub Bucc,Phil Dwyer and Ddraig and as they all know other peeps we should manage to link it all together!!

 

[zog]

sorry a bit confused.

is it tomorrow or saturday? tomorrow is more likely as i aint got the kids, but i'm off to bristol round midnight so an early one would be ideal.

 

[Col_Buendia]

Well, today's Thursday, so does that answer your question?

The meet, according to the nine vote popularity surge on the poll above, is on Saturday.

And apparently RubberBuc knows everyone 'cept me, so I'll be stuck in the corner on my own, trapped by the fighting vicar

Come out on Sat, Zog, even if it's only for an early evening sup

7.30 Vulcan, then on to the Vaults (by 9ish, for sure).

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I'm gonna really try to make this - and Lucky Jackson is in town too (apparently).

Could it really be - double figures?

I was wondering when you'd show up... got your complaint in yet?

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Hopefully today - Not my complaint though - it's a few peeps in my group who've had to put up with nasty shit.

Anyone out afterwards? Any suggestions.

 

[Col_Buendia]

Aye, I'll be out... out like a light
