If it weren't 1:30am, i'd give you lads a proper Aussie call down for having this on the exact opposite side of the world. How rather inconsiderate!

Aye. At least that dude looks a lot like the dude in Dekker's HLP card picture.

You're both right. Good looking waitress pulling sex god right?
Title: Re: London status update !!
Post by: Jeff Vader on May 11, 2008, 01:46:20 pm
And I'm guessing the other two on those pictures are kara and IPAndrews.

Right?  :nervous:
Title: Re: London status update !!
Post by: jdjtcagle on May 11, 2008, 01:52:03 pm
I think the darker one in blue is Kara, IIRC his dad was Muslim (of course that could have nothing to do with his race)... could be wrong.  :)

Man that burger looks nice... /me

What did you talk about, anyway?

Top secret HLP admin stuff and that burger was mine. . . Leave it alone :nod:

Yeah, yeah... :rolleyes:

Nothing that led to a conclusion...? A new campaign...?
Title: Re: London status update !!
Post by: Colonol Dekker on May 11, 2008, 02:35:16 pm
Things like that are only ever going to be vocalised. We spoke about chinese swear words and to hear more attend Karajormas birthday bash which he'll talk more about nearer the time. :)

Only if you went back and got her number. :p

Actually that one was mine. You can see the stick sticking out of the top of yours in the bottom corner. I'm still thinking about that blue cheese. :D

Well you did jump on my case for being a narrow-minded bigot back then. Sooo... it's kinda hard to forget when a good rebuke helped you grow. :p

I could have sworn that one in particular was my burger :( i know better than to argue. I remember you putting your point across about something lol. :lol:

wow, so the london thing is actually happening, but the "USA meet" is nothing but a stale thread somewhere on page 4 :(
Title: Re: London status update !!
Post by: Dark Hunter on May 11, 2008, 09:35:54 pm
Well, compared to America, London is a rather small area. :p

In order to have a gathering of USA HLPers, most of us would have to fly to get there.
Title: Re: London status update !!
Post by: haloboy100 on May 11, 2008, 09:43:00 pm
Not to mention us Canadians (of course, I'm speaking for those of age :P)
Title: Re: London status update !!
Post by: Colonol Dekker on May 12, 2008, 07:42:16 am
You need to break it down in to practical regional meets. Once you've got those going, maybe once every couple a months. You can discuss centralisation. :)

I thought I felt a bit tipsy on Friday!! LOL!!!

Maybe I'll be able to come to a gathering in future, can't guarantee when! It's all down to finances!

We had a Sectorgame LAN do in Huddersfield, December 2005:

Quote from: Robo
Right. The gallery of pics coming to a grand total of 3 images :P You don't need to tell me that I have 120kb GIFs, either.. the colours are crap for compression.

So the 6 of us grabbed a strip of PCs on one side of the room and set up camp. Me especially. I sat right in the middle of them all and decided quickly to take a picture left, right and center.


Firstly we've got Bev, Peter and Patrick to my right. Bev had his utterley disgusting pork scratchings in my face the hole time. Ugh.

(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1570/lan13ck.gif)



To my left I had the London boys Jack and Ross, funny lads. Much talking about burnt face man and the like. Plus Ross kept stealing my chocolates, the b#stard.

(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3813/lan29zz.gif)


And finally, my desk. This would make a hole African country cry. I ate so much my stomach still hurts :P

(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3595/lan31rj.gif)

"Do any of you lads want a cream cake by the way?" :P

So anyway, I feel we need to congratulate ourselves on organisating a successful and enjoyable LAN - even if there were only 3 SGers there! I'd love to do that again in 2006, and hopefully more people can come that time.

We haven't managed a repeat session though...
