Do you hang out with people from other websites?!

http://www.readersheds.co.uk/readersheds/

Just this one

Nool only ( apart from one bloke from Cavan I used to race GPL with). I suppose it's cos other NO fans are SERIOUSLY thin on the ground here.

I nearly did! I posted on a The The website for a bit and they were having a NOOL Day type thing in Larndon. Well, they were actually planning to meet in a pub and commandeer the sound system to play The The music. About a week before the event, a big row broke out about (I think) whether to allow bootleg recordings of gigs. Aparently the band are really against bootlegs and threaten to sue anyone who they catch trading in them. It all got a bit personal so I knocked the idea on the head.

Crikey, what a fascinating story - I bet no one managed to read it all the way to the end!

I did, and I want the fookin £40 in cash and all.

Sort of felt that way about NOOL a couple of times, but mainly it was my medication addled brain getting things out of proportion. Besides, I never met a NOOLer I didn't like.

(never met a real NO fan I didn't like, NOOL or otherwise.....even if it IS only cos it's great to have someone to talk to who doesn't glaze over when you start talking about Hooky's bass and it's effect on western civilisation)

Oddly enough, the one internet (ahem) community, you'll never see this lad hankering to go boozin with is Linux geeks. Bunch of furry toothed weirdos who know WAY too much. I just use the sodding thing cos windows gives me brain palpatations, I couldn't code "Hello world" from a manual ( really, I've tried).

Met a couple of people from the Killing Joke messageboard.

Nice people.

i know a lad who posts on the Iron Maiden website...

You've got my sympathies there, Shug. Sounds like the same sort of prejudice that I encountered when I tried to join the Guides last year.

Sexist, ageist bitches

no, i've only ever met up with a few people from here.

I know most of the people on my Worcester City message board, and we have been known to drink beer after watching the game, too!

Is this the same as 'hanging out'?

No. Only other boards I visit with any regularity are to do with work or birdwatching. So a bit geeky. No laikin out with them.

nahh...they tend to hang out with me.

No, I post on some Soccer sites here (eircom League) but I've yet to meet with any of the other posters

thats coz they move from field to field and site to site.

Come up to Yorkshire so I can compare

Shandy swigging Southerner!! No comparison then.

used to post on the now defunct Killing Joke Website. of which one Christopher Owens was on too. in his "the Darkness" days. even went to a Killing Joke jig in Liverpool a few years ago and had a bev with them. sound as.

then it went into meltdown. big time. the usual. lies. death threats. abuse. bribery. police involvement.

and that was just Christoher's posts.

I have 'travelled with' & 'met up' with people who do what we do on sites for Mogwai. Mainly to share travel & make the trip more prudent. I dont have time to cruise & comment as on here. I know their music is slightly different to da Order and most fans are right scruffy twats but they are next on the list (below N.O) I have also put names with faces at Bjork gigs (late 90's )but not now. (mainly cause i last saw her @ Shepherds Bush in 03' lazy bugger) However, i do recognize & continue to, a hell of a lot of faces at gigs by Weller & the Bunnymen- heaven forbid that i would converse with them though.

Wanderers Ways, my best friend is on there all the time anyway and i've met loads of the others before and after the home games.

Hanging out with people from other websites????

That would be cheating!!!?????

Yeah, quite a surprise to bump into AL, JG et al near Waterloo station on a Thurs eve..

I met up with the DM fans cuz I haven't seen some of them since the gig in June..some I haven't seen since last year or so..those guys are quite normal but there are a few nutters too..

There used to be a fairly large DM group in London that used to meet up every couple of months but in the past year, many have disappeared..

DM, NO, Cure..all similar fans in North America..in the UK its quite a different story...

Me, JG and Mickey Way ran into Midnight Blue last night and he was having a meet with people from another website.

I won't say which website, but suffice to say, I was gobsmacked they all looked so normal. No short leather skirts, make-up, or leather.

And none of them resembled Martin Gore at all.

As I've always maintained, they're probably all accountants.

I would have loved to see that. A New Order - Depeche Mode rumble in a London boozer

I've been out on the bike with a fair few from a couple of cycling websites and some of them have become friends off the bike.

No. And i have never met anyone on this board either! And i`ve been posting shite for 3 years! I really should make the effort soon. :)

Me and SteveOne were going to meet up for a beer in northwich about 18 months ago. Then he dissapeared.

Not a bad idea!
