I would obviously having missed the first.

 

[Lucius86]

Shame I missed this, but work called

Definitely get another one going and will try to be there.

 

[J Tourettes]

I'd be up for another one before the eg expo.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Any romances / bromances formed?

I'm sorry I couldn't be there.. looks like I missed out! I totally thought I'd be able to go, but an unexpected bill left me unable to afford leaving my suburb of Bristol let alone going to London...

I already have my Eurogamer tickets and I'll be up for one in a couple of months. June / July time is probably better for me than May. I've never been to that Namco place, looks kinda cool!

 

[Darren870]

Yeah I'll be at Eurogamer as well.

Would anyone be up for another meetup in a month or two before then?

Yea that would be really cool since I couldn't make this one....

Meh

 

[Kazenone]

Any romances / bromances formed?!

Eggybob definitely had some sort of attraction to me.

 

[SKINNER!]

amazing pics! looks like you lot had a fantastic time

 

[eggybob]

Eggybob definitely had some sort of attraction to me.

Pretty sure it was the other way round.

[Raynes]

Where did you guys go for the bumper cars?

 

[Xun]

[Salvadora]

Need an all Ireland meet up.

 

[Qasiel]

Where did you guys go for the bumper cars?

Namco Station, near the London Eye

 

[Chittagong]

Great pics Qasiel, thanks for sharing!

Just found a checker shirt in my avatar colours from my wardrobe, will need to wear it next time to freak J Tourettes out

Kazenone's drubbing at air hockey by Eggybob

That was some pretty poor showing from Kazenone during the air hockey match.

 

[Kazenone]

That was some pretty poor showing from Kazenone during the air hockey match.

It was a poor show, but I think me driving on the wrong seat in the bumper cars was much worse.

Pretty sure it was the other way round.

Who's on top!? http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w170/candice_lee_k/989fb9f7.jpg

You're not helping your cause here.

 

[-PXG-]

At first I was like, "Name tags? Really?"

And then I saw the bumper cars. Oh man. Must have been great.

It was literally just me who had a name tag.

 

[MisterNugNug]

Bumper cars awesome! Oh and why are all of you're teeth normal?

Spoiler

I kid, great pictures.

 

[clearacell]

Finally got around to seeing this thread, looks like you guys had loads of fun

 

[J Tourettes]

I really did myself an injury running for that bus. Hurts to walk, pretty lame injury.

 

[TheGoldenGunman]

Picture time!

Thanks for taking all of the pictures dude! Also might I say that it was a master stroke to wear that Beanie so that we could recognise you to start the meetup. I actually walked past you and Kazenone at least twice before we actually got talking, lol.

Next time we do a meetup, I suggest meeting up earlier in the day. I think we had a really good vibe at Namco Station and it was a bit of a shame that we were turfed so early. Also with the Dodgems / Air Hockey / Pool / 4 Player Pacman, there is plenty to do! The place you took us to afterwards was actually pretty good, but I felt sorry for those that had to stand for a long period of time. When we all got to sit down together we had a good laugh though.

Some suggestions for next time round:
- Hyde Park. (If we have good weather, what about lunch in the park?)
- South Bank. (Dat Culture).
- South Kensington. (Free Museums, etc).
- Leap Parkour Park (http://www.parkourgenerations.com/LEAP), hell of a lot of fun, if your into your physical excercise.
- Laser Tag. (http://www.ultimatelasertag.co.uk/starcommand/trocadero-laser-tag-photo-gallery.asp). Basically Quasar, but would be fun with a ton of Gaffers.

looks like a sausagefest

These are both genius ideas. Can you imagine us lot tearing round the science museum, and the natural history museum? Carnage! And laser tag would be great, we would just take over the place.

Agree with meeting up earlier next time, and I'll be more than happy to take on the mother hen role once again

 

[BGBW]

We weren't let into a pub because of that and "Swag" Gaf.

 

[Danielsan]

Man that looked like it was a ridiculous amount of fun. I wish GAF would do an Amsterdam meetup some time.

 

[soultron]

Did anyone finally learn the truth about Kazenone?

 

[Chinner]

not surprising. maybe hire some female escorts?

 

[BGBW]

Failing that some will just have to cross dress.

 

[eggybob]

My one problem with the night was namco station not playing match of the day, showing Italian football instead.

 

[TheGoldenGunman]

looks like a sausagefest

Would you expect anything else? This is Gaf dude.

And still fun to meet a lot of cool new people with similar interests, and in the case of Swag-gaf, shirts.

 

[BGBW]

I'll never be able to look at a check shirt in the same light again.

 

[eggybob]

I'll never be able to look at a check shirt in the same light again.

At least at the next meetup we all know what to look for instead of aimlessly going up to people and going "gaf?"

 

[SmokyDave]

Ah, looks like you chaps had a blast. Good stuff. Hopefully I'll be free next time so you can include pictures of a naked man throwing up.

 

[Bleepey]

I went to it and i seemed to be (mostly) succcessful at my face not being captured.

 

[Hot Coldman]

To be fair, Xun, that is a pretty bitching nametag.

 

[Chinner]

can't we just meet up with smokeydave and smoke weed?

 

[Chittagong]

- Gaf?
- Gaf.

 

[Qasiel]

I'm still expecting someone to post that they didn't make it due to asking shady characters "Gaf?" and getting promptly arrested on the pretense that "Gaf" is the new street name for crack etc.

It was such a good night, and I'm saddened I didn't get to be part of hardcore-gaf (I had only just got off of night shifts so my body was trying to adjust!). Definitely next time, though!

Talking of which, TheGoldenGunman, those sound pretty fantastic. Musems and Quasar should be great fun and lunch in Hyde Park sounds like the quintessential Brit thing to do! I'll pack cucumber sandwiches!

You know it would rain the day we'd have it planned for though, with our shitty weather.

I believe I was the only person who did not meet other gaffers when asking "gaf?"

 

[Kazenone]

Nah, no-one mentioned that thread thankfully!

Found some pictures on my phone;

 

[eggybob]

This could be my favourite picture. Something obviously has my full attention

Expanding on the Hyde Park idea, I could always borrow the softball kit from work if people fancied it? It's a cheap day out as you can bring your own food and drink. The game's a piece of piss and you can eat and drink when playing.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I believe I was the only person who did not meet other gaffers when asking "gaf?"

I didn't need to, just walked in the pub and there you all were!

Nah, no-one mentioned that thread thankfully!

Hang on, what thread?

 

[Xun]

Hang on, what thread?

I'm also intrigued as well.

 

[eggybob]

I'm also intrigued as well.

Yeah, someone needs to spill the beans on this.

 

[Stubo]

Paging Soultron...

 

[Kazenone]

You guys need not worry yourselves over such a trivial matter...
