I demand a London based booze up

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

every time someone posts a thread like this I end up having a dream that I bought a ticket to London for the weekend just for the transfans meetup.

And it ends up we're like, all standing in a cow field somewhere in the Midlands and I realize I left Chrissy and Adia in customs.

I'd like to.

What's the worst that could happen?

There's a London in Canada isn't there? We could always go to that one instead. Unless the Adventures of Willy Fogg lied, but why would as show about a talking lion not be 100% truthful in all things?

I, personally, felt quite betrayed by the producers' assumption of a child's intelligence that we wouldn't notice the fake lion's tail would have represented a technological anachronism in the Victorian Aniverse.

Actually, I didn't, but it was the first thing I could think of that sounded like it might be useful in a debate about Willy Fogg authenticity.

I'll be wearing an Autobot hoodie :)

I'll probably rock up about 7 or 8 I suppose. It would be good to meet you :)

OK, I'll try to get there for 8! I'll probably be wearing something like a Doctor Who scarf and I'll bring a red-haired girl. Oh, and I'll carry a copy of Wreckers. Unmistakable.

Will you pick one up en route, or do you carry one at all times?

It was nice. Most of the guys there were from The Moon or Moonbase - something like that - and were a bit surprised when I turned up, because it was apparently a bit low key. I met MV though, and found out that he knows someone who knows someone who I know, and that he completely outclasses me in the field of Transformers merchandise owned. Nice chap!

Haha, thanks Jack, tt was good to meet you too and sorry about the interrogation - I had no idea security was that tight :)

We'll have to do a proper Transfans one once the Manchester crew sort themselves out.
