I think ellpus should add a link to this thread on the bottom of his holiday diary so she finds this thread. Maybe she doesn't usually venture into General.
So is this a true story or is he just messing with us?? I am starting to wonder... Hmmmmm....
Would you approach someone if you recognized them from A2k?
Scenerio-
you are in the store.. just shopping.
Someone is either next to you.. or with in shouting distance ( so you arent appraoching their car or anything.. ) and you realize that
1) you recognize them
2) they are ( who ever ) on A2K..
would you approach?
so who's who suspendiman?
I would get scared. I've said all kinds crazy s**t on this thing. The guest thing freaks me out . Like theres a room somewhere with a bunch of guys in polyester suits, Wearing reflective wire rimmed glasses monitoring us.

It's a bloody small world, ain't it? Stuff like that happens to me at work.
Good god.....I didn't expect so many people to be awake and tuned in over there.....I only logged out for a sandwich and to work out how to get my remote programmed properly.....bloody hell!
Yes, it's true Slappy....and I think you got a mention. She distinctly remembered the drama with Kicky's Italian holiday thread, talked about Set and his Pirates thread (that was her favourite it seemed), and I don't really remember the full details about any other stuff. We only chatted for about five minutes for gawd sake.
She was about mid 60's, I didn't measure her boob size and she said she lived near the Mexican border, wherever the hell that is. She did mention a town but I don't remember.
She assured me that she would sign in some day, didn't give me her name or phone number, tutted a bit about the slow cashier and buggered off, basically.
It still "wierded me out" as Nimh so Americanly put it, that someone I don't know from Adam had read some of the rubbish that I have posted, and knew some of the user names that I am now so familiar with.
Mind you, I ahven't met any of you, but feel in some wierd way that I know at least a part of your characters....so I can possibly see where she is coming from.
Can you imagine the strange feeling it would have been if she HAD been a member and we knew each other as regular posters on a2k.
The imagery that we all have about one another (those that have not met) would go straight out of the window.....thoughts like....."Good god, he/she is a lot older/fatter/gorgeous/stupid than I imagined.
I think it would lose some of the mystique, myself.
I would like to continue thinking that kicky always wears a trilby, Dag's head is on fire and Slappy is really Dr Evil, wouldn't you?
P.S.....My remote works well now, by the way.....bloody marvellous nowadays. Bar code scanned by little lens, press a couple of buttons and bob's yer uncle.
the first person sherlock should interview is Lorde
where is he btw? Not posted for quite a while, just amused to see when this thread goes no doubt.
Maybe Ellpus is schizophrenic and he is actually everybody on this thread accept for me!!!
No Steve, I am back but we just posted at the same time. It's not surprising that she mentioned our names, as there are not many male posters from England.
If the same sort of thing happened in the USA, then it would have been virtually impossible to get so "close to home", but I can only think of about six or seven Brit blokes who are regularly on A2K, so........
Imagine the same queue scenario in Bratislava.....I think even I could have worked out that the gorgeous female I was talking to was Dag!
I shall keep my big trap shut when next I am talking to an American over here.....thinking about it, it quite shook me up, in a nice but wierd sort of way.
Well its an interesting story Lord E, and forgive my scepticism if its not warranted, but you are quite good at stories...
And there was no steamy sex scene either.
Last night something creepy happened to me online, I was on aim and someone that I don't know imed me, and basically told me they lived about 2 streets away, knew random things about me and then changed there answers about them... and then they said they had to go and I was trying to type to my friend to tell them about it and then my keyboard stopped working and I lost control over my computer... it was really really scary.. I was waiting to wake up with some creepy guy standing over my bed waiting to kill me...
Sorry a little off the subject, but it had to do with someone from online :-)

Not in the middle of Curry's , there wouldn't be!
I felt as if I had no clothes on, though. If I ever see her again, I will probably run a mile.
I am beginning to wish I had never mentioned this now, 'cos when/if she DOES ever sign up, she is going to get pumped for information about ME!
........AND THAT'S SCARY!......God, you are a nosey lot!
well I'm just off to buy a sofa.
will check out any obvious a2kers in the shop
(should be easy...the ones bouncing on the beds probably)

Why the hell didn't I think of that? That would have been BRILLIANT, but it's always the way that I am gobsmacked at important times, like when I'm in an argument and searching for a witty answer....and then think of a stunner at 3am the next morning.
I could have pretended to be Steve, and then start belching loudly, or letting the occasional fart escape.
Next time.......please let there be a next time.

OOOH! I've changed my mind.....I'll be Spendius next time....sorry Steve, you'll have to wait.
I vote for BAH humbug (although the part abt me being dark and handsome is true)
This is a case for...
