Just to say “Thank You” to Phkb and to Mr Flibble for organising the electronic meeting.

And also to those who travelled from far and wide to be there - and to those who joined us electronically!

I can only chime in. It's impressive what has been made possible.

At the same time I have to complain about my ISP, taking me offline for 44 hour this weekend, after I survived 40 hours being offline the weekend before.
That's higher order - but I took a few witchspace jumps so both my karma and my legal status should be cleared by now...

I'm really sorry I couldn't make it, but that London is just a logistical nightmare to get to these days. I was surprised. Maybe it being a Sunday wasn't optimal I suppose.

If we do this again would somewhere more central be possible? Oxford would be cool since there are at least 2 solid ooliteers in that part of the country. I'm sure Giles can find a canal...

But yeah - I really enjoyed chatting with you all and would love to do so again...

More central? Oxford?

More central would be the five lamps in Derby, East-Midlands.

If you're at the pub and see someone wearing a yellow red and black Star Wars themed shirt shout out/wave when I arrive as I don't know what anybody looks like as my normally travelling companions @selezen and @drewwagar will be absent.

I would have thought "Thargoids on the starboard bow!" would have been an appropriate greeting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Canal linking the Thames and the Grand Union, so via those much of the remaining canal network.

How many light years of witchspace fuel can a narrow boat store, and does the good ship "Giles" have an avatar in-game?

Depends where I'm standing at the time
