MacRumors London Picnic 2009

[Jaffa Cake]

btw.. do we have to go round introducing ourselves with our aliases from MR forums?? that would be weird lol

The fancy dress – the idea is you come as your avatar – makes things a lot easier when it comes to recognising folk. It does have its downsides, mind... I came a cropper last year after falling off my base after a few beers, and those members who don't have 'tars have to spend the whole picnic out of sight – hidden behind trees and in bushes and stuff.

Of course, I'm not being serious. Please don't come dressed as your avatars.

Ah, this does indeed mean you must attend naked, in front of trees. We really like our pre-500 post participants.

Snacks and nibbles, anything that makes good picnic food really.

Is it me or does it seem like almost every British person is a Mac user? Britain has so many Apple stores and almost every British person I have seen uses a Mac.
Sorry for off-topic post.

Simple answer, no!

Mac users are still in the minority here, though they seem to be gaining in numbers.

I'm really looking forward to it. Where do i sign up? Are there grills available to cook? Is the football flag, touch or full tackle?

 

[Blue Velvet]

I'm really looking forward to it.

No grills. Tell us about your tackle.

 

[iPhil]

Is the football flag, touch or full tackle?

Neither....



Psst: Football = Soccer.....






European football rulez ...

 

[iJohnHenry]

Full tackle is ace, but don't bruise the demi's.

 

[NC MacGuy]

Neither....

I have been resisting going to a meeting in the U.K. tentatively scheduled for beginning of July. They've been to my place twice and it's kind of my turn to visit theirs. I thought maybe I could mix some business w. pleasure and make it worthwhile to crawl out from under my rock.

That kicks ass NC! You're no doubt going to have a blast with all those crazy EuroDemis™! Better charge all of your iPods!
