The Thread Of Randomness

[Chrill]

So today marks 18 years since I got to know the person you all know as Chrill.

I sincerely apologize.

Are we actually friends since 2006? That is lunatic.

I remember back in... 2008? Seeing topgear live here in Stockholm. Good times.

2012 actually, I still have the backstage pass hanging on display in my living room.

Jealous! He was never at any of the TT-F meets I went to. So we never had long conversations about my poor taste in Eurovision songs.

[Chrill]

I'd argue you were never at the meets I attended. I've flown in from Sweden twice. Once in Crewe, once in London. I definitely think we should host a meet in Stockholm next time, see how many would show up!

So funny story, according to the forum wiki, i have actually met you, twice, both times you came to ole Blighty for meets I was there. I went to one in York (2009), one in Crewe (2012) & one in London (2016). You were at the 2012 & 2016 ones if the wiki pages are accurate.

I'd love to go to Sweden, so i'd then have an excuse to do it, if we had a meet in Stockholm. It's sad that as the meets go on, on the wiki pages it gets less & less

As long as you're footing the drinks bill whilst we're all there, I'm 100% in! Just need a new (ugly bloo) passport first!

Was going to say, I'm sure you and Chrill were both at one of the meets I turned up to! Time flies though, was it really 2016?!

I mean, a pint is just £10 so I can buy everyone... one half-pint?

And there was me nearly crying at being charged £7.20 the other week in London!

[Chrill]

You can definitely find a cheaper pint in Stockholm. If you go to one of the less... decent locations, you can find a "happy hour" special for maybe £4.50 for sure.

Does that mean you will say goodbye to Windows 7 and embrace Windows 11?

The new computer comes with Windows 7 64 Bit! It's a Tower rather than a Laptop!

So, I'm in a pub as we speak (sure, it's early, but it's Saturday, shhhhh!), and I can get 2/3rds of a pint (375ml) for a similar price, and in a good establishment too!

Happy hour wise, I can find a pint for £3.40 in my town, which is the nightlife hotspot around these parts, excluding going into Manchester city centre, too!

I'll let you buy the beer for sure

Went to my first Comic-Con today, in Aberdeen. It was rather awesome. Met and got a photo with Karen Gillan, attended various panels (seeing Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost was a highlight, as they were my favourite Power Rangers as a 7-year old!), and then at the end of it Bernard Hill made me literally cry when he started crying as he told a story.

I've not been to a comic con since 2019, I do miss it. My GF and I did go through the trouble of creating costumes. Well, not for my first one, it was spur of the moment, but the next year I put together a costume and went as Axe Cop, and my GF went as a HP student (Hufflepuffs for life, yall!). Second year we coordinated as Carmen Santiago and Where's Waldo. Then in 2019 we went as Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from the Disney film The Princess and the Frog. I enjoy it, I like looking through the vendor displays and listening to the panel discussions. I've been able to rub elbows with a few celebs outside of their appearances. I think I'd like to get back to the one in Cincinnati again this year, the one in Lexington KY just took place.

It's not me in my profile picture, it's Karen Gillan?

[orudge]

Something like that.

I believe Melissa Joan Hart did a Comic-Con in the UK in early 2020, and was meant to be at the Edinburgh one that year, but that obviously didn’t end up happening. Maybe she’ll do one again though…

Also it looks like they posted a clip of Bernard Hill up, specifically the bit I was referring to.

Oh hey I found one of my photos! And the photo below was actually taken the day after the photo of me in the avatar.
