OMG

I could be wrong here, but I think last night at the Pembury the world shrunk by an order of magnitude...

My favourite small world incidents were discovering mr_tom in Oriental City with marnameow and co, and finding out nou was sharing a house with someone I knew for 5 years at school.

Oh yes indeedy :) It's a shame you got back from teaching so late.

BTW, do you know if Sam, who I was playing scrabble with, has an LJ?

Hello!

[redcountess]

Um, but your Weather Pixie has boobs? *confused*

[redcountess]

Er, that was rather gendercentric of me, but it did put me off the track when I was trying to work out who your LJ belonged to!

[mirrorshard.livejournal.com]

I suppose it does! Odd, I never thought it was supposed to be me... if this is causing confusion and cognitive dissonance, I may consider changing it.

[redcountess]

It's ok, mine has purple dreads (to try to make it like the above icon, which is four years old) :)

for some reason I get the urge to post to this thread, I can't imagine why...

[ewtikins.livejournal.com]

He is mirrorshard.

:)

[ewtikins.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see you've worked it out for yourselves... :)

[redcountess]

Yes, we've just established that :)

It always sounds reely exciting at the Pembury. Is it a real pub or is it just a special fantasy land where people are always playing fun games and saying intresting things.

One day I would like to go there but I am worried it might be one of those magic places like Platform 9¾ in Harry Potter where if you do not know what to do you just run slap into a wall. Is there a code phrase to get in?

"Mine's a pint, Steve" usually works quite well...

The Pembury is one of those rare places where all the good things come together in the one spot...

"Mine's a pint, Steve" usually works quite well...

"Would you like a drink, Steve?" is also good.

[redcountess]

I would have bought you one on Sunday but you were so busy. We will have to share a bottle of that Spanish red you suggested sometime :)

[ewtikins.livejournal.com]

It really does exist. (http://www.individualpubs.co.uk/pembury)

Do turn up sometime. :))

The Charlton Arms seems to serve a similar purpose in Cambridge, allegedly. I`ve never been, yet.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

Surely you mean the Carlton?

It is (or was) ground zero for the Sinister Greenend Hangers-On.

[spodlife]

Oops, don't know where the H came from.

[deborah_c]

It does (without its h, as hairyears commented). Living more or less across the street from it is quite convenient (although not quite so convenient for getting to the Pembury...)

Want the world to shrink more? I know you By repute unless I'm much mistaken - you're williams_dad's friend and colleague, and OKC dweller extraordinaire, aren't you?

[keithlard.livejournal.com]

That is right it's me keithlard! :D

Who are you and how do you know terrifying personal facts about me. Hello by the way.

[psych0naut.livejournal.com]

Yes, it did.

[ewtikins.livejournal.com]

you got my e-mail then?

*grin*

[reddragdiva]

I was going to blame redcountess, but I think you're Arkady's fault.

So you're on this wretched hive of scum and villainy too, then?

[psych0naut.livejournal.com]

Yes and no... I have a couple friends with journals that I read, and that's the only reason I have an account. I don't have a journal of my own, and I rarely post comments. I'm too busy with real life (read: screwing around on Wikipedia). ;)

[redcountess]

Sorry I outed you :)
