Meeting Bothered..

[Shorty]

Tomorrow I am honoured to meet another Short-Median for a few hours. I shall be liasing with Sir Bothered of the castle Teacup tomorrow at 12.30pm :D

What should I ask him? I must found out what makes him tick and makes him bothered ;D

oh and drink alot of tea.. :thumbsup:

[Crypto]

Pics please. :D

[Necropolis]

Pics please. :D
I was luckily spared that when we went to Dublin on the booze :), but get pics. I want to see what castle bothered looks like, expecially the moat and razor wire ;D

[madmat]

Hmmmm...Short and Bothered...almost has a ring to it... ;D

[bothered]

oh and drink alot of tea.. :thumbsup:

I only have two box's of Tea bags in, wonder if it's enough.
Erm, Neo, that about the moat, erm, I wasn't totally honest about that.

[Xander]

Erm, Neo, that about the moat, erm, I wasn't totally honest about that.

It's just a six inch deep trench around his house filled with rain water.

Have fun guys.

[Crypto]

Shorty, please take along a proper kettle, teapot, some tealeaves, a tea strainer and the little dish that you put the strainer on when it has done its job.
A little dish of sugar cubes and the tongs with which to place the cubes in the cup.
A bone china cup and saucer, none of your pottery mug tat, a nice little milk jug and a silver spoon to finish it off. :)

I'm afraid that Bothered has drifted away from proper tea making as evidenced in another thread " chuck a tea bag in a cup" and has become seduced by the easy route, akin to the difference between DOS and Windows.

You cannot overclock a cup of tea with any great success, the resultant brew is fast but inferior.

I trust that your meeting will be tasteful and harmonious.

Regards

Crypto :D :D :D

Next thing you know they'll be inviting more brits to this site, and we'll have to insert ambiguous "U"'s into various words.... :shakehead

Colour, behaviour.... :grumble:

[bothered]

Oh the shame, found out. Never have I been besmirched so completely.

(insert embarrassed smile here)

[PressX]

So is this a Manchester Meet? And why has this only just been mentioned? We could have made this a mini S-M (North West UK Branch) meet!

*Press X tries hard to find reason to leave shop and bother Bothered and Shorty in Manchester (assuming it is in Manchester)... struggling to find said excuse...

Have a good time gents :thumbsup:

i'm going to be livingin london from jan. 6 to about april 20th, so maybe i'll be able to meet up with some of you europeans.

i'll be in bloomsbury, i think that's what it's called. i know it's a couple blocks from the british meseum. i'll be taking almost no classes, so it should be really easy and i'll be travelling about a lot.

unfortunately, i don't like tea, though, i'm going to try and learn to like it.

[Thrax]

Bothered and Shorty meeting?

"Now for many nights the Thames ran brown with tea."

[floppybootstomp]

Why? It's disgusting stuff, gives me a bellyache. Gimme strong coffee any day :)

Bloomsbury eh? A bit posh and a bit boring, but you is but a short tube ride from the West End, or you could walk it in 20 minutes or so. So what you doing in my neck of the woods then?

Shorty & Bothered - where's this meet take place then eh?

I have only ever met one person from a Forum in real life, we met halfway at Heathrow, I was just selling some stuff to him.

[primesuspect]

If you guys lived near me, you'd be intimately familiar with each other's nuances, idiosyncracies, and ... odors ... by now :wtf:

[Thrax]

:wtf: Prime's running a man harem.

Trust me, after few pints of guinness and a curry that aint a good thing.

Ahh... the morning after the night before... that smell may just get me a divorce :zombie: ;D

Colour, behaviour.... :grumble:


Well......that IS the correct way to spell those words. And it's not just in the Northern Hemisphere you know. ;D ;D

[Thrax]

Tell that to the Anglo/Franco-Saxon language.

[profdlp]

I would have thought an event like this would have received television coverage. I had the TV on all day waiting for the press conference. :scratch:

[Jimborae]

Have fun chaps. :)

i'm just doing a college semester abroad, and london seemed like a good place to be. my classes should be really easy, so i should have plenty of time to mess around in england and the rest of europe, too.

[LIN]

have a good time, guys :)

[PressX]

And did the mighty short one meet up with our resident bothered?

[bothered]

He did. It was very nice to meet one SMer in person. He just sat back and let the train take the strain, whizzing him to sunny Manchester. I now need a tee shirt with 'I have taken Tea with Shorty' on it. He may have an anouncement to make but I'll leave that to him.

[Thrax]

Are you sure that's not a Tea Shirt? ;)

[Dexter]

Hmmmm...Short and Bothered...almost has a ring to it... ;D


I had a girlfriend like that once.....just add the word "hot" in there somewhere too.....

/me runs and ducks....


Dexter...

[primesuspect]

"Tea shirt" omg.... what the hell.... ;D

[deicist]

He may have an anouncement to make but I'll leave that to him.

You two crazy kids getting married? :D

[Shorty]

Id like to take this oppurtunity to say that Mr Bothered Esq is a gentlemen of the highest order :D

It was great to meet the man, the legend. He makes a PERFECT cup of tea. I mean perfect. He was gracious enough to help me get to a job interview from the train station, cool cool guy to talk to :D

Thank you Mr Bothered for all your help yesterday and welcoming me into your home for tea & discussions about games, pc's, technologies and decorating ;D ;D

A real gent. :thumbsup:

[bothered]

You're more than welcome Shorty.
And I would like to say that Shorty drinks the perfect cup of Tea like a pro, both the kettle and Tea bag slung in a mug versions. (make a note of that Crypto) :)

[CyrixInstead]

Goog good, nice to hear you guys got along so well.

Perhaps another meeting up not too far in the future? I'm sure it could stretch to Necropolis and PressX - a Norther Union??

Perhaps a plan in the making??? Maybe a house warming? Or The Curry Mile (Rusholme)

[primesuspect]

:eek: I WANNA GO TO THE CURRY MILE :(

[bothered]

Shorty doesn't like spicy foods even if the curry miles toilet paper is kept in a fridge.

Now that sounds like a plan.

Mmm, nothing like a good ceylon to warm the bones on a cold winters night(and your backside the morning after ;D )

[Jimborae]

*jim feels left out by the hard northerners & their evil curry*

p.s. Necro, love the avatar, Little Britain is well funny

Oh, my! ;D

It's that good, is it? I love curry (and any other spicy food).
