Absolutely Brian - I was just surprised to see so many names I
recalled from 1999 or whenever it was I last posted here... I thought
everyone had gone to World of Spectrum forums or had left the scene.

Jeff Braine (I would say "of Retrospec" but I've never released
anything sadly)

Ah. So I'm back because my 16bit AFK register overflowed. Makes a LOT
of sense :)

Good to see Brian and Eq in text form again (I see Spike occasionally
in IRC of course)

I don't suppose Titch, Niall and co are still around ten years
later.... So I'll just get my coat myself then.

Errr... Titch WAS Naill... But no, no sign of him or his arch rival in the
coat business, mr llama waxer himself haven't been seen in quite a while. 

Mr Gerard Sweeny does still make the occasional post here though...

Blimey, you appear to have had a sex change.  Either that, or you're
undercover working for the government, getting information on
tax-dodging coat retailers.

I'm confused.  Are you Jeff or Sophie?  Maybe you are Sophie only at
the weekend?

LOL

Most of the world knows me as Jeff, but people on IRC would recognise
Sophie. It's a long story, and no it doesn't involve operations, tucks
or implants.

Oh and Spike, I meant Titch and Alan (the llama waxer) of course.

There isn't the same need for llama wax now that we're in a recession, but 
yes, still occasionally lurking around ready to start fights about how 
difficult Robocop was.

Ah, well you never know - I play CounterStrike with someone who
identifies as being a LapdancingLavaLampLlama.  I don't think I'll be
asking him if he needs waxing though......

good to see you're still lurking around :)

Llama waxing might be in a decline but the cost of fuel means we need a lot
more coats...

It is nice to see some familiar faces here. You lot really ought to make 
more of an effort to get to the "beer/red wine/pizza/nearly missing the 
train home" events though. I vote we have the next one at Brian's house 
for simplicity's sake.

Heh. Bit of a long flight for a quick get-together ;)  I'm sure I'll make some event some day though.. Will have to try to arrange something next time I'm over (probably won't be til the end of 2014 or so though)
