See me or Karajorma for details.
EDIT-- Thought i'd keep the sci-fi theme going, and five is better than four or six as we all know ;)
-
I'm "considering" a December time (although due to time constraints i may have to RTB quite early), or would the new year be preferable to most? I know Karajorma "the bodypopper" will be able to make either but i thought i'd get a list of candidates beforehand.
-
Count me in
-
Turns out I revised about 4 times too hard for my exam today :/
If I can drag myself away from my Uni stuff for a day in December, I'll do my best to make it :)
-
Please do come...It would be nice to know that you actually exist :D BTW what uni do you go to?
Think we could manage to drag Admiral Wolf along?
-
December or Jan09 is good for me, though obviously not any time immediately around Xmas/NY.
-
January end, or do people want something this year?
-
I'd need enough notice to come down, so get a date fixed and I'll see if Polpolion wants a go in the big chair!
-

Something early December would be better for me.
-
Early December's good for me
-
Maybe if I win the lottery between then and now I'll attend! :nervous:
-
where in UK do you live?
-
Vernon's from Bolton :nod:

Vernon's from Bolton :nod:
Originally, I now live on the Wirral.
You know, "Ferry across the Mersey" n all that! :rolleyes:

You're a scouser now? How long til the accent adapts? j/k
Nice area?

Not bad for an ex-council estate, check out the "what can you see from your front door" thread for link to a few pics of what I can see.
Coastline a few miles away in most directions is a bonus, but I do miss "home".
(I haven't noticed any discernible change in the accent BTW, the wife's changed more in the five yrs she lived in Bolton)
-
This time we have to get a photo of us all drinking Bosch Beer. Anyone know any places that sell it?
-
We're still waiting to see the pics from HLP London IV? :nervous:
-
They're in the HLP london iv thread :p
-
They're in the HLP london iv thread :p
Oooops, must've missed them!
-
I can't spend all night taking pics of the do next time or i'll look like a nutbar.
-
New Title... :wtf:
EDIT-- Thought i'd keep the sci-fi theme going, and five is better than four or six as we all know ;)
ah! I was just wondering about that. When i first saw the new title i was like
-
In your honour, I need to think of a title for #6, possibly Karajorma related......
-

Well, shorten his name to Kara, and you could try something related to Starbuck from New BSG
-
I'll leave the next tile open to discussion on here, but we'll probably chat about it while beered up during HLP5.
-
Seeing as my athletic dept. shirt has developed a hole, I'm going to get a custom shirt made up for the event!
-
Right...I have a huge question for ya admiral, but i wanna wait till i meet ya to ask it.
-
This'll be either very funny or very offensive. . Can't wait ;)
-
I believe i mentioned the qustion i want to ask him to you durung part IV.
BTW has a date been settled on?
-
Oh yeah :lol: it's neither then.
-
:confused:
Shall we say the second weekend of December?
Or is that a bad time?
-
I may need to settle in to a new job. . . But i can make it out for a short while.
-
I'd say early December is better. Go into mid December in the city and you start bumping into drunk people leaving office chrimbo parties. Which means drunk secretaries (yay!) but also drunk entitled twats and that just leads to fights outside Chinese restaurants. :p
-
Onoz, deja'vu............
-
First Dec weekend then?
-
Three weeks time you mean? A week after the 29th?
-
The 28th-29th would probably be better really.
-
yeah okay
-
Are we discussing November or December?
-
Are we discussing November or December?
November. It'd be real hell getting in anywhere in December.
-
I will know more about Fri 28th tomorrow. Expect response by Monday 15:00 Terran Standard Time.
-
You mean GMT right? TST will take another century or two ;7
-
Either way, Monday is when you'll know!
-
Last weekend in November? Bummer... in MK then. Was hoping to make my debut with y'all this time around.
-
Sorry chaps, my presence is needed at a birthday party that weekend.
McCall, do you live in MK per chance?
-
Concrete city division on-line: transmitting booze command codes.
-
Now who to see who can make it. BTW it has to be the Saturday for me
General D. Scussion: ROLL CALL!
Terran Emperor: Aye
-
Colonol Dekker, reporting Major Al Caholic and Private Boozehound reprting in.
-
Yeah. I can make it.
-
^ Private boozehound :nervous:
-
^ Private boozehound :nervous:
You could have at least made him Corporal! Or even Sargeant!
-
Well, at least all 3 of Dekker's personalities will make it this time. :D
BTW this is for the saturday right?
-
Are there going to be guest celebrity speakers? Maybe Claudia Christian? If we get her pissed she'll probably get her jugs out.
-
C'mon guys we need to get her number/agent and book her to give a speech on the differing characteristics of corvettes and cruisers....then get her smashed :yes:
IPA you gonna attend, or are there some plays on :p ? :D
-
Sorry chaps, my presence is needed at a birthday party that weekend.
McCall, do you live in MK per chance?
Near Brighton, so not all that far way on the train. You in the neighbourhood? Even more spookily... are you going to the same party????
One of my old uni buddies is having his 30th that night (assuming they are sticking to the last weekend of November). He's decided to have a sci-fi themed do, so I'm gonna go as Darth Maul and the missus as a 4 foot 11 (she claims 5 foot but I don't think so) Darth Vader. Storm Trooper costumes were either way too tacky or way too pricey.
So, if HLPL5 is on 29/11/08, when's HLPL6 gonna be?

She should have gone as a StormTrooper! That way people could say to her.."Aren't you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?" :lol:
-
:no: :P
4'11 vader = Dark Helmet.
-
:no: :P
4'11 vader = Dark Helmet.
No, I had a 4'11" (or similar) Darth Vader knock on my door on Halloween, she'll just look like she's a little late to be trick or treating! :P
Like the Spaceballs reference tho' But she'd need a much bigger helmet. (or is that where McCall comes in? :lol: )
-
Can it not be moved to the first weekend of December? we could get more of us together.
:wtf: what's with the Claudia Christen comment IPA?
Speaking of which does anyone have the "The Be-Five" album
-
:no: :P

WOBBLE! Really! I'm disgusted... :p
Actually, once we'd ordered the outfit I did start thinking about Spaceballs. I guess it's not only great minds that can think alike! :lol:
So... are you guys aiming for 28th, 29th, or maybe the weekend after? I cannae dooooo the 29th cap'n, but the other days are fine. (Scratch that - only 06/12/08 is clear.)
Claudia Christian... probably in MILF territory these days, but you probably still would.
-
If there's a chance of increasing the number of attendees, would everyone be happy to postpone for a week?
-
I can make it either weekend
-
Well. . . I'd only consider it if people who can't make the 29th are definitely gonna attend the week after.
Whisper> (We may pull off #6 before the USA one bears fruit)
-
Can it not be moved to the first weekend of December? we could get more of us together.
If we would actually get more I'm willing to move it. But if everyone is suddenly going to develop an excuse why they can't come out on the 5th or 6th of December either I don't see much point.
-
Fair enough. I reckon it's just a busy time of year. Such is life!
If it gets moved back to the 6th I'll come along, otherwise I'll see you next time.
-
I'm fine either way...
If we're all good with the 6th we'll see you there Mccall :D
So who can make the 6th, and who can make the 29th?
Me = both :yes:
ps- bring a sign saying HLP?
-
I can't do either sorry gents.
-
Well, at least we get one extra, unless we can persuade Flipside to show up
-
06/12/08 - YES
29/11/08 - NO
-
ps- bring a sign saying HLP?
:lol: As Karajorma would say: "Dyslexia Alert"
How about a drinking game based on this?
We down our drinks every time someone asks if we mean HELP
-

We want you guys to have fun--not get alcohol poisioning within the first hour! :lol:
-
Fine then, a shot every time some asks if we mean "HELP" instead of "HLP"
-
I'm not doing that..although most Londoners are quite cold and anti-social......
I'm more in favour of downing a shot everytime Karajorma mentions SEX-PEE and we get funny looks from the bar-staff :lol:
-
:eek: That got me thinking of a new custom title for kara... :shaking: ewwww! Thanks for that Dekker I Think I'll just :snipe: myself to stop the images...
I have got the date right? Sat 6th Dec
So far, I show
Myself
Karajorma
McCall
Colonol Dekker (Plus his multiple personalities)
in attendance.
I know Ookami-daicho said he cant make it. *Damn and i was really looking forward to asking him who Polpolion is and where he comes from*
Is IPA coming?
And could we manage to pursuade Flipside to show?
-
You know, i've never actually seen them both at the same time...........
*cue conspiracy music.
We gonna hit the Astoria again? ;7 Boobies!
-
You know, i've never actually seen them both at the same time...........
*cue conspiracy music.
Who?
Wolf and Polpolion? Or IPA and Flipside?
-
IPside.
-
Well, have you actually seen Flipside ywt?
-
Ummmm, no :nervous:
There might be a flaw in my theory......
6th it is then, Are we aiming for the Cambridge....again :p?
-
Well it is rather central even if it is busy.
-
Nothing wrong with the Cambridge at all, just "teasing"......
Timeframe? I should be good for almost any time. Although if we;re gonna bust a groove on the dance floor it might be in my livers best interests to meet up with you a bit later as i drink like a scotsman when i start....
Hence my downing vodka between rounds in the mystery pub opposite Chicago last time. :nervous:
-
About 6:00pm
-
6pm is good for me. Busting a move on the dance floor...? I'll be happy to guard your pints while I get lathered. :)
Are we allowed to bring girlies?
-
Only if you bring enough for everyone. :p
Seriously though. If you know a girlie who can put up with a conversation that goes on about sci-fi and computer games about half the time that's fine. :)
-
It's one of the few reasons i don't have a girl in tow. I appreciate my main HLP interests won't synergie with her.
6pm on the 6th. Done job :yes:
London 5
USA 0
-
We're having my work Xmas do on the Friday, so we're staying with her friend in London overnight. I mentioned I was swanning off to this the next day, and she wanted to come. I did warn her! :)
Seriously though, you'll like her. She enjoyed Space: Above and Beyond, and if you really want to boogie, she'll take my place. I think she's fine with sci-fi. No plot spoilers for Battlestar Galactica allowed though! We've got to start again from the beginning 'cos I watched the first two seasons without her.
Can someone PM me their mobile so I make sure I locate you on the night?
-
Sent. :)
I take it you two are a couple then? :nervous: What? I'm just clarifying :p
I just google-mapped the cambridge pub where we're meeting up...
Or, if you’re more into traditional British fare with a casual bent, check out The Cambridge (93 Charing Cross Road
:lol:

I think most of us are the 20'something pre-clubbers :D
-
Is IPA coming?
-
Thanks for the number!
Pah! 20-somethings... I used to be one of those...
-
*Looks at Dekker's Personal Text*
:wtf:
Oi Dekker...I arranged HLP London III. If i remember correctly, you didn't attend.
That was when Karajorma almost became the "Chinatown Brawla"... :D
I'm gonna PM IPA and see if he's comming
-
Actually the plan was to become the Phonejacker. I suppose it's fortunate I don't actually have a mobile phone.
-
Coming with two M's is quite saucy Terran_Emperor :lol:
I could call him but i don't wanna break the fifth wall (or whatever number it is) gawd i remember HLP1 back when the weather was baking. . . <nostalgia>
-
He can't make it. IPA's in coventry that weekend.
-
The town or just in disgrace?
Right so to confirm, anyone who wants to come...
The cambridge hotel pub on saturday the 6th of whatever next month is, at 6pm..
:nod:
See you there....
-
I'll bee there.
IPA is attending the birthday party of his partner's mother that weekend...
-

:nod:
See you there....
Damn you leave me tempted. AirCanada should have a few Toronto--London flights, but I'm still 17 so I can only drink illegally. Blech--see you at HLP London 6: Return of the Bob-san? :P
-
I'm (again) trying to sneak my sixteen year old bro out under the guise of a night out "dancing" but it needs some work. .
-
Paint a moustache on his face, when he's sleeping :D
-
He's shaving already believe it or not,..... I'm with Beard too, didn't shave for a week i look like a wookies uncle.
:D
I've acknowledged your HLP 3 ownership by the way... :p
-
:bump:
One week attendance check.
Everyone still a go?
-
Still on for then
-
If I can over this damn cold/flu. Yeah. :)
-
Yep.
-
I messed up my budget. . I could have between 40 and 60 quid. I got a load of xmas pressies over the weekend.
-
:bump:
I'm not bringing "plastic money" in an effort to preserve some cash to see me through til the next payday. We gonna purely pub it, or club it also later? McCall you're out the night before too right? Gonna be well enough for a late one? :)
-
I don't mind clubbing. I probably won't be drinking like last time though. :D
-
Yep, that's my primary concern too. We're gonna have to face it. . . We're getting too damn old for all this drinking.
-
Question for Karajorma: Do you have the BSG Resistance webisodes
-
Hmmm, the games afoot...
/me takes the term "afoot" to the pondering thread..
-
Well, i do practice karate
My gut reaction on reading that was "General Chang - Undiscovered Country"
-
Question for Karajorma: Do you have the BSG Resistance webisodes
Somewhere, probably.
-
i have em. i you want, i can copy em for you, just dont ask how i got them ;)
-
No worries. Like I said I've seen them already.
-
This time, i'm gonna make an effort to drink less, dance less like a grade A cock and take more pictures.
-
Does that mean I can't do all those things either? :D
-
What i aim to do, and what happens are two different things :D we've got Mccalls lady to impress with our moves don't forget :lol:
-
Yep, I should be just fine for Saturday. Clubbing will be beyond me though. I really am too old for that stuff. But you're never too old to drink - just might have to change what you drink is all.
But please feel free to bust a move for my missus.
And no - repeat - no BSG spoilers! She hasn't seen any of them yet!
-
I'll do my best. :D
Though we may discuss episodes, we'll try to be as vague as we can...to build the anticipation.
It may be impossible due to Starbuck's role at the head of Diaspora
-
Oi. Check my join date. I had this username while nBSG was still a twinkle in RDM's eye. :p
-
And that's why its so funny - I mean what are the odds of you selecting a screen name that can now retrospectivly be used to "tigh" you into BSG...
No wanting an explanation for me calling you Starbuck?
*sighs in disappointment*
I thought nBSG was RDM...
*looks up BSG*
Ah! RDM = Ronald D. Moore.... that explains it
I always thought RDM was a misspelled contraction of "Reimagined"
ReiMaginedD
RMD
RDM
...
:nod: that'll work
-
Bad news guys due to an over aggressive direct debit i can't attend otherwise christmas will be cancelled due to lack of funds.
-
Ah! Bollocks!
Well, if McCall and Starbuck are still up for it, we'll get together...
Hell, I cant cancel as ive built my weekend around this event.
-
I wouldn't have brought it up were it not for a regular payment which needs to go through on monday CSA :nervous: well james your task for this one is to come up with a good name for HLP London vi which will be under your direction ;)
-
Easy
HLP London Part VI: Return of the Dekker (I hope) :D
-
Job done.
-
Well, it does sound better than "Return of the IPAndrews" whom i hope can attend next time
-
All due respect to ian. . . But i think he's moved on from his TBP fame. He's a top bloke and apart from gymkarna love i've got not a bad word to say.
-
Oh poot! Oh well I suppose with Dekker missing I'll probably drink less, thus saving money. :D
Anyway, 6 in The Cambridge as usual. I'll probably be wearing my Diaspora t-shirt so I'll be very easy to recognise. :D
-
I may be wearing a White Chinese shirt so i may be easy to recoginse
-
I'm ducked right now. But i will try my best to stop by for at least two. But i warm you lot. Don't drag me into rounds or h'll be nickee.
-
Ive made my 1024th post
-
As eloquent as my last post was, (predictive text) :lol: i still can't make it. Happy 1024th Terran Emperor :confused:
-
I'm ducked right now. But i will try my best to stop by for at least two. But i warm you lot. Don't drag me into rounds or h'll be nickee.
So we have to buy our own drinks? That's like being a student again or something! :D
-
Sooooooooooo, how'd it go??
<event succsessfully achieved, unstickying pending HLP6
-
It was a good laugh. We didn't go clubbing but we did have a few drinks and chatted about plenty of FS2 stuff. :)
-
Late finish?
<cheerleader> liek so where'd you go, did i miss out any goss, I know it probably can't be mentioned here so i wont bother asking details i just liek you know..... whatever :lol: <cheerleader>
-
Well, there should be a nice picture of me wearing Dark Helmet's new handbag, which I think was quite fetching on me actually.
Terran Emperor - you got that off your phone yet?
-

Gah, next time i'll have to give it a go as well....
@Terran Emperor, get that HLP London VI thread up and running, we might be able to churn out another three before USA '1 gets off the ground... :D
-

Just remembered, i don't have the things i need to get the picture off my phone with me. So it'll be a little while.
As for HLP London VI - Return of the Dekker, I'm thinking sometime in February. Thread should be up after christmas
-
Any sign of those photos yet? :)
