Real life is ok actually! :)
I know we all complain that RL sucks up too much of our Oolite time, but it does have it's compensations.
I was pleased and privileged to meet up with a forum member for the first time ever today by happy chance, and it was as if we'd known each other for years, which, I guess we have, courtesy of this bb.
We only had half an hour to chat, but it was fun to share a pint! Cheers, Daddyhoggy!
Beat you to the blog entry by the way.
Cheers,
Drew.

And one of the first to buy it when you released it via CafePress - it sits proudly amongst my other SF books.drew wrote:Daddyhoggy joined the forum a few months after me back in 2006. He was one of my most helpful proofreaders and critics of the original 'Status Quo'.

You did indeed beat me to a blog! But I've only just got back from my evening out.
'Twas great to meet up.

No, I meant: how did you recognize each other as a fellow Ooliteer in real life when you bumped into each other? I surmise DaddyHoggy is not really a big black bird in real life....drew wrote:Daddyhoggy joined the forum a few months after me back in 2006.

Don't be so hard on yourself - the English on this forum is so good I often forget just how many non-native English speakers we have. You put all us lazy Brits to shame. (although I have tried to learn to speak French and German several times after my disastrous time with these languages at school - even paying for private lessons - but I just don't seem to have an ear for it - that's basically a lame excuse I know - but unlike many of my countrymen I am genuinely ashamed of my nations inability to speak other languages)Rxke wrote:Ahruman wrote:“Meet up with” isn’t quite the same as “bump into”.
Me not speak very well English, I'm afraid...
