The meet-up has flooded so many threads now!

It's a little bit of drama for the forums, that's why.

I'm not sure how "I'm going up to London to meet a bunch of strangers from the internet" will go down with my parents...

Huh?

I presume you're joking? Seeing as you're not 7 or something.

Well. I don't think they'd be enthusiastic.

But he's not a proper adult either.

Unimpressed Whatever...

Just because your parents never cared about you, doesn't mean that others' don't! :P

They did.
When I was a 'child'.

Oh yeah - :P

Just lie Elliot! When I was 15 I met up with a load of people I met on the forum for the band The Others, I don't think my parents would have been impressed had they known the truth but some people I met then have turned out to be some of my best friends. Rebel!

p.s. listening to Lucky Man by The Verve.

P.S.*

What was your excuse?

I'd never known whether P.S. had to be in capitals, this forum's better than school!

I just always said I was going to stay at my friend Matt's house, who my parents knew, but he always came to London too. I didn't really feel that guilty for lying to them for some strange reason. I'm a heartless bastard.

I would feel *so* guilty! I do when I haven't even done anything wrong!

It's not that I'm not prepared to lie. But, to be honest, I much prefer talking with all of you around here. It's a level playing field here. I get all weird in the company of adults, which you all are. Obviously not you specifically. Do you see what I mean?

As with N.B., many people will accept both, but capitalised is more correct and more formal, I believe.

Pfft. If I'm willing to meet people, you can too! You'll be laughing and chatting and joking along with everyone.

Besides, most of them have a mental age of about 12...

I've just been assured by Andy that "Pfft! They [my parents] won't care! I'll come!" Oh joy...
