GABIT attendees thread

[Feli]

so, how may of gw's mods are going to be at gabit?????

gips and I, feli are you coming? Mads, ship?

i doubt that darren and david can swing it, they always do vancouver anyway (cooler goodies for them) and i have no idea about tame, kiwi or mt

but could we be having a mini gw mod convention as well???

Gipsy and I will be there, so there's already three of us. And maybe we can persuade Mads to come down for a day at least, that would be fun!

[Feli]

I remember references way back,about you lot dancing around in the circle,waving your little hammers around,whilst dodging the ray-gun.Not that you'd get much time for that, in between the panels,and other fun of the Con.

Nice try to get us to reveal mod con rituals but it won't work! Just wait and be afraid...!

[Feli]

An this time I'm bringing the German version of Trivial Pursuit - let's see how you all cope with that. Ha!

[Tracy Jane]

Hey there! I'm going to AT2. Looking for a room share ATM, so if anyone thinks they could put up with me, send me a PM!

[Bagpuss]

Nice boot! Could you at least throw the other one so I have a matched set?

*Sends the matching boot*
(Hope you enjoy wearing my old wellingtons ! )

Waving little hammers around. *note to self, more memory cards*

So it was written...
Can I have some memory cards too ? I lost what was left of my mind trying to explain Gabit to the friends who visited today.Hard to describe when they seem to have never watched SG-1 or Atlantis.
On the other hand, the husband recognised Amanda from her picture on one of my DVDs,as he used to watch Millennium,so there's hope for the guy !

I laugh in the face of danger..then I go and hide behind the couch .

ROTFL ! OK.Now I'm afraid.

Thank you *admires new boots* Don't my feet look pretty.

I suppose it would help me win if I knew German?

So you're going to spend the next 11 months behind the couch?

[Feli]

I suppose it would help me win if I knew German?

No, it wouldn't. My English isn't that bad, yet most of the time I had no idea what the others were talking about or wanted from me. And they all looked at me so expectantly when they'd given me a hint.

But I'll still love Baggie for all eternity. She thought I was 10 years younger than I actually am!

Er,yes..if you say so .
Dunlop..the "New" Manolo's ?

I suppose it would help me win if I knew German?

Worth a try.

So you're going to spend the next 11 months behind the couch?

Tempting thought ! It's lovely and warm behind the couch.However,our cat won't tolerate me invading his fave spot,near the radiator,and RL won't allow me to hibernate....

No, it wouldn't. My English isn't that bad, yet most of the time I had no idea what the others were talking about or wanted from me. And they all looked at me so expectantly when they'd given me a hint.

((((((Feli))))))) Apologies for that . The trouble is,your English and your accent are so good,I and Hubs forgot that the Brit version game contains a lot of political and social references that aren't apparent to anyone from other countries !
(The US version is the same.I got nowhere playing against my nephew at a family gathering a few years ago.I knew almost nothing about the US politicians and sportsmen and only got the question about the Green Bay Packers right as I knew my US relations (from Milwaukee) supported them. )

But I'll still love Baggie for all eternity. She thought I was 10 years younger than I actually am!

Prost !
*Raises teacup*

ETA : Scuttles back to do the daily countdown for Mal...

317 Days to go...

I've been in the UK long enough to cope with most of the questions, and we get nearly all the UK TV shows in NZ, but sports I'm hopeless at. I'd been here almost six years before I discovered that you're not ever likely to get a match titled Spurs V Tottenham!

Great! Good opportunity to practice my German. Having said that, by Gabit I'll have a degree in German and be doing a masters!!!

[Feli]

It's the same for all country versions. I did get a sports question right though, I think it was something about Kevin Keegan, wasn't it?

You can practice your German on me as much as you want to. Please start by complimenting my shoes...

Do you know yet what your master thesis is going to be about?

[rderoch]

I'm signed up for this year. Me, my sister and my mom actually. Cocktail party as well. If nothing goes wrong, we will be there. Bumming that they don't allow 3 to a room though. Maybe a roommate for mom.
