Nat: Next time I can be bothered setting up an IRC meet, You, Dave and anybody else local is invited. I'll post detais in I guess, water cooler.
Warning, these IRC meets are pretty rare, so don't count on it being too soon.
For whoever is drinks, It's BYO alcohol, although a little bit is generally provided, and for those who don't, well ... you can get quite amused watching the rest of us getting smashed and falling over each other.
Warning: There are usually some absurd happenings at these IRC meets. Spin the bottle, Twister (With soapy water), not to mention fun spa games, and of course, competitions, for instance, how many people can we Jam in the shower at one time?
