[Chinner]

so brit-gaf is just a glorified girl thread?

 

[radioheadrule83]

^^ Wench thread! But no... we can discuss other things. The wenches are just window dressing for familiarity / meetup discussions!

Anyone used to watch Bits?

Emily Booth (Bouff)
Channel 4 videogame show "Bits", also B-Movie "Pervirella" and Cradle of Filth movie "Cradle of Fear"

[king picollo]

Why has this turned into a post pics of girls thread?

Stop it, naughty boys.

 

[SteveWD40]

You young uns and your "under 30" fantasy girls. Where it matters, those girls have nothing on a 35 year old with some tread left on the tires and a ton of imagination

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Karen Gillan is pretty damn hot.

One of the hottest women ever.

[Noaloha]

An eat in Nottingham pretty much starts and stops with Brown Bettys, up St James Street (opposite The Cookie Club). If you've not been yet, get your arse in there and drop £4.50 on a ciabatta. Great shitting lord, they do good grub.

[SteveWD40]

How about Livingsocial and Groupon for the OP?

 

[Songbird]

Do we really have to turn this into a thread full of babe pics? I was hoping for more serious discussion on a meet-up.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Ditto :/

Spoiler

Unless it's all Karen Gillan pics

 

[Songbird]

Ditto :/

Based on those answers, I have deducted that you are a secret agent making animations for MI5.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

I'm liking the Gillan love in this thread.

 

[Visualante]

Based on those answers, I have deducted that you are a secret agent making animations for MI5.

No but I did once get to speak to a MI6 spy on the phone. He was making an insurance claim for his son who managed to lose his bag with the keys to a prison where he worked. Funny story. Sadly they keys were replaced so we didn't have to replace every lock in the prison which allegedly costs thousands of pounds per door.

 

[Ad Infinitum]

I played netball with Rachel Riley. She was an absolute sweetheart.

My ex went to the same college as her and the team needed one more player. I thought it would be piss easy and had nothing better to do. Sheesh, I was wrong. Netball is some serious shit.

 

[BackwardsSuggestions]

How many Welsh people we go in here? I've seen 2

Karen Gillen is covered, so:

Just noticed the Brit movies in the OP, no Shane Meadows? Dead Mans Shoes is better than all those films!

Also, WTF is with no Only Fools And Horses in the TV shows?

Out of curiosity - how many ex / current NTSC-UK members are now on GAF? Used to be my go to site but it lost a lot of its fun community spirit after a few key members were banned and I never really went back.

Still go to both, but here more than there currently.

AlbaGAF represent.

Age:22

Hometown: Born in Belgium, lived in Dunfermline and the US as a kid.

Current residence: Perth and Kinross

Occupation: As of late June, unemployed.

Favourite place to eat, and what to order there: The Tormaukin Hotel, a great wee inn and restaurant near where my parents live up in the hills south of Perth, an absolute gem of a place. Menu rotates pretty often. Serves some good ales to boot.

University (Past/Present/Future): Degree in Chemistry from Glasgow University (The beginning of third year is the worst possible time to come to the realisation you don't really want to do science), going back into full-time education to study History and Economics at Dundee University. Gonna be weird being one of those "old" mature students I knew from first time round.

Favourite TV Show: If we're going by recent-ish British TV, I'd quite possibly say Life on Mars... or maybe Spaced.

Post picture of your favourite british girl: On my mobile at the mo, will have to come back to it.

Why is this languishing over here? Would've been better off in OT.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Why are Nottingham and London the only suggestions in the OP?

Isn't Manchester one of the strongest contenders too?

 

[J Tourettes]

Also, put me down for a London meet as I'm a lazy bastard. Camden would be ideal as it's a ten minute walk frommy flat.

 

[Meadows]

Vote time for meet-up:

Choices:

Manchester
London
Oxford
Birmingham
Nottingham
York

(these are the only ones that have suggested to my knowledge)

I'll vote for:

Manchester

 

[Songbird]

I'll vote for:

York (Manchester is in second place.)

 

[SteveWD40]

Ditto, York, then Manchester

 

[SmokyDave]

Didn't know so many Gaffers knew Nottingham, must try Brown Bettys sometime

Fun fact: My wife used to work in Gamestation Notts until a few months back (6.5 years)

My only problem with Brown Bettys is that I'll end up drinking in that area, end my night at Cookie Club and then get caught up in the 3am St. James Street Circus.

Fun fact: I'd almost certainly recognise your wife in real life. Maybe you too depending on who she is. That's crazy.

Notts-GAFfers, if you spot me out 'n' about, let me know. I'm 6ft 3, tanned, very short hair, athletic build. Always have a huge Metal Gear Solid 4 watch on. Usually smoking. Stop me and I'll buy you a pint. Stop the wrong guy and that shit's on you

Edit: I don't really mind where we meet but York and Manchester are both good choices. York is stunning and Manctown has everything we need.

 

[mazeedibeedi]

My vote goes to London. Can't be arsed to travel far.

 

[Your Excellency]

I don't think I'll be able to come either way because my girlfriend is gonna be a bit weird about me meeting people off the internet. Also, I'm new here so barely know any of you anyway. Except Cheezo, that guy keeps PMing me every two minutes being angry that I made this group before him, but he's cool.

 

[SteveWD40]

No excuses, I am new too and you don't see me crying!

Plus your GF won't mind, you are only meeting other guys at a guess, unless she already has her fears...Dave giving a homoerotic physical description in the thread won't help...

 

[Monkeylord]

It's just nice to have a thread where I can state that "I'm off to smoke a fag" without any awkward repercussions.




... also, I'm off to smoke a fag. BRB, lol.

 

[Xun]

What's stopping us from having several GAF meetups?
