Roll Call: Who's met Anna?

Page: 1(2)

19:28 / 16.08.05

Another thing you disenfranchised North Americans could do is move to England!!

It worked for me..

11:35 / 17.08.05

Xoc, dear, none of the number-picking/placing was deliberate, except for one (guess which one)...

Thanks, grant, for reminding me about adrian. I hadn't actually forgot him, I just forgot his name. And then I did forget him, cos I didn't add him to the list. The other guy who was in NYC was Gibreel aka belbin aka Pepsi Max.

Punji Steak: I did remember you and your impressions of a male lion on heat, I just didn't know your ficsuit. I assume that there are probably other people Stoatie knows who are on here and that I have met, but I don't know their names either. (ditto for Southampton and friends of Jack the Bodiless)

Paleface: You're probably right. I think I may have actually met you at a blogmeet rather than a Barbemeet, which reminds me that I suppose I should point out that several of the names on this list were people I met at blogmeets rather than Barbemeets, which again reminds me that I should probably add some more:

120. LMG
121. Cal
123. Lillith Myth
124. brainsluice

and also, I met, earlier this year

125. ammonius

No doubt this list will be added to. I'm glad I didn;t actually forget meeting Quantum! But I have met some of GGM's Brighton friends, and maybe some of them are on here...?

15:57 / 17.08.05

Ahhh yes, the impressions. Thanks Stoatie. I had forgotten. I do think the 'male lion on heat' is one of my better ones however...

19:12 / 17.08.05

Oh, were you at the Cheshire-or-was-it-Cheddar Cheese pub meet up with me (on or near Fleet Street? I think?), circa Feb. 2002? (I was also at the George Pub, methinks was its name, in ca. June? 2003, but I don't think you were there--Haus was, and Bill Posters and Cherielabombe and sleazenation and ...)

Well, I was thinking I hadn't met you! What were you wearing? (Of course, I don't remember what I was wearing, so why you should remember...) I can kind of look around the room in my minds eye and see Stoatie's piercings and KitKat's hair and sleaze's forehead and . . .

But your list makes me yearn for Ierne! And sfd! Ahh, nostalgia...

20:33 / 17.08.05

Cheshire Cheese, and I only know that because I was told to go there by the ex-Fleet Street contingent with whom I work in the American tabloid mines.

22:29 / 17.08.05

Ah, The Cheshire Cheese... The history, the atmosphere, the beer about which Dr Johnson himself might have said 'Sir! I would feed this ale to a pig, but only if I had a decanter of laudanum about my person, and a strong, hot urge to hate-fuck the swine later!'

16:31 / 18.08.05

alas, I was the first person to arrive at the Cheshire Cheese, along with Kit-Cat because we were both working around the corner at the time, so we walked down together. I was taking photos!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

16:36 / 18.08.05

Ah. That would be The Cheshire Cheese that's just round the corner from The Cheshire Cheese, wouldn't it? I spent at least an hour drinking alone in the wrong pub before the barman, noticing I looked a bit lost, told me there was ANOTHER one...
...and I kept banging my head on the celing going down the stairs.

19:56 / 18.08.05

I have indeed met you too. At Ghadis' wedding, but also before then, I suspect in Stoke Newington. You were wearing a most fabulous greeny suit at the wedding. Muchos loveliness.

11:18 / 19.09.05

It happened again...

Yup - I saw you and Squiremelia and another guy at the pub on the South Bank on Saturday.

By the time I'd figured out where I recognised you from - the moment was passed and I'd already gone past the Tate.

Gutted - nevermind eh? Will try and remember for next time.

13:19 / 19.09.05

Hmmm...I note Anna has missed me off the list, I'm sure more by design than accident. Didn't think I'd upset her that much...

14:24 / 20.09.05

I'm sorry don't remember you, but there's a lot of people to remember! I did say that I might forget people. When did we meet?

Jub, I think you're actually stalking me, aren't you?

14:31 / 20.09.05

But I have met some of GGM's Brighton friends, and maybe some of them are on here...?
Quite a few I suspect..

14:51 / 20.09.05

Jub, I think you're actually stalking me, aren't you?

It was weird. I was walking from the Waterloo end, and had stopped for a few beers whilst me and my friend looked at some of the stuff going on in the South Bank. We came under the bridge where the guy that sells poems was being harangued by some tourists and then stopped to chat to the man that sells the books between the bridge and the pub. He berated us for spending 2:50 a can on Cobra (which admittedly is rather steep) when his books were the same price – and then staggering away from his chirpy laugh, I looked up and saw you sitting outside the pub. Couldn’t place you immediately and it took a visit to the can’t-climb-the-ladder stall, a peroni, and a song from the “budgie man” before I remembered who you were. By then the moment was passed and I would have felt like a stalker if Id come back to say hi. Will try harder next time!

15:49 / 20.09.05

If you're stalking me, I'm not entirely sure I want you to try any harder...

15:23 / 14.02.06

Hmmm, loooong overdue for an update, since I have now met Jub. Also smoothly weaving, Future Perfect and, ummm some other people I have currently forgotten the names of now that I am writing this post.

Plus I have already met some of today's new members, Happy Dave and gyrus. And probably others as well. I dunno. Shout here if you've met me!

Happy Dave Has Left

16:01 / 14.02.06

Yay

I've met you. And had KWALITY curry too. All good. Not only that, but you've met my transatlantic girlfriend too.

You do get about ;-)

16:58 / 14.02.06

i know anna and i still have her 'it's a wonderful life dvd'

i'll give it to you soon, i promise.

17:08 / 14.02.06

Anna? Anna? WhothefuckisAnna?

*breakdances*

No. Seriously. I want to know.

17:31 / 14.02.06

I met Anna when I was just five years old. I'll never forget the way she stood over my father's corpse messily devouring his heart and brain. Then she disappeared in a burst of cherry blossoms and I haven't seen her since.

Whenever I see a cherry tree in spring, though, I think of blood and brains and a very special girl...

[cue violin music]

For real though, I've never met anyone from the barb that I didn't know beforehand. I would not know what to do if I ever did. Apparently there are rules involving alcohol distribution and casual sex, which only makes me more wary.

19:35 / 14.02.06

It's not that casual.

19:50 / 14.02.06

As far as I know I'm still the only (semi-active) Barbelith member in this whole stinkin' country. So much for meeting any other 'lithers. I guess I should come out a bit more and get to know people abroad.

But in a way it makes me feel very special.

(All the same, if I ever find out any of you lot raided Belgium and neglected to fill me in, I will be royally pissed off.)

Grey Cell, we don't talk about the Belgium Raids. They're smooth, quick fly-by-night operations, covert in the extreme.

Six 'lithers in camoflauge and nightvision goggles drop down out of black helicopters in front of the nearest bar or pub, perform a covert tactical insertion, stand in one corner of the bar looking warily at everyone, drink, and leave. The glasses from which we drank are summarily burned as war trophies.

This process is repeated bi-weekly. By 2136 we hope to have depleted your country's supply of pint glasses. Then the invasion shall begin.

20:45 / 14.02.06

But it´s already 2346 here!

15:17 / 16.02.06

"Apparently there are rules involving alcohol distribution and casual sex, which only makes me more wary."

That is very wise. I think the only rule involving alcohol is that if you go to a London meet, you have to have some. The same is not true of the casual sex. Well, not anymore, anyway.

15:19 / 16.02.06

That point about alcohol at London meets is not true. At least two London barbelith members could swear to that.

15:21 / 16.02.06

I've had sex with most of barbelith

16:25 / 16.02.06

Yes Nina, and I would be one of them.

Jeez, what has happened to peoples' sense of irony/humour around here?

16:40 / 16.02.06

They lost it when they sex with me. Having sex with me is a very serious business.
