h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

All we need is fluffy to come in and make weird accusations about it and it'll be just like last year.

MMF must have the record for attending the most meets. Or Phil. Have either of you kept a tally?

Sounds like a very grown-up, midweek affair. I would have loved to have joined you all.

I think it would be MMF who has been to the most meets, not me. Close though

Right, who poisoned me? The only explanation I can find for how rough I felt this morning is that someone slipped something into one of my several drinks...

It was that extra half that kept getting slipped into the oversized half glasses you were drinking from

You mean alcohol? I think you had a self-draining glass, so you drank it before it disappeared.
I think Gnomon beats me quite easily, TC, but I do attempt to get to as many as possible.

Of the non-London Meets I've visited Hull x 3, Frankfurt x 1, Mannheim x 1 and Manchester x 1. I think London is six, but lost count.
So 12, by my poor calculation.
Means Rheims will be unlucky 13. Must be 6 Mini-meets as well. At least.

MMF

How many researchers need to be present for it to class as a mini-meet? Because when me and the other half, Phil and Metal Chicken go to the pub that's 4 of us

Deities, can you imagine if we started having Monthly Manchester Mini Meets?!

I don't have a hangover but for some curious reason my legs *really* hurt. Can't quite work out why.

5 researchers constitute a meet
4 constitute a mini-meet
3 = micro meet
2 = nano meet
1 = pico meet

Then I've been to a *lot* of mini-meets

I've recorded 16 on my PS, and Reims coming up makes 17. In four countries! I'm sure you have more than that, MMF.

Just got back home to Newmarket.

That was a lot of fun - thanks guys!

Always good to put faces to names.

Clive.

That means I'm at a pico meet right now! And so are you!

Just had another great evening with a h2g2 micro-meet of Phil, Pastey, Mrs Pastey and I.

I don't think I'll be invited back again, because a) it involves pubs and alcohol and b) late nights.



I'll have to check TC. They all meld into one fantastic time.

MMF

And thanks to you all, especially Mr and Mrs Pastey, with a special mention for Phil, in de patches, or whatever it is, for the very pleasant h2g2 welcome back to Manchester.

I this place, and be warned.

I'll be back. Invite, or no invite.

Can't help it!

MMF

MMF, you're always welcome!

Clive, it was great to see you again after way too long!

Manchester really is a great place to socialise, must make more use of that.

Aw! Shucks. That is good to know, and you are welcome to venture south any time...



MMF

Clive? Newmarket? THE Newmarket? That's my home town*! (Sorry to the locals for derailing the thread for a moment.)

*Proof: Held my wedding reception at the Rowley Mile.
