| Post subject: | 24th July - Shunt |
Hello. Some of us went to Shunt a while ago, and it was great. I seem to remember people saying that they would have liked to go, but weren't available the night we went. So let's go again. Thursday seemed to be a good night for it, so Thursday of the week after next (24th)? For those that don't know: http://www.shunt.co.uk/ |

I'd love to come down, but can only visit London on a weekend, really. |

The Dreaded Thesis of Doom: Creator of Procrastination and Killer of Social Life, has bound me to it's deep and dark will. So I have no time to socialise for the next 54 days. And anyone who says this is just an excuse so that I don't have to buy you that beer I owe you is lying. |

Or perhaps if you gave me enough notice I could get the Friday off. It's a bit too soon for that. |

Who (or what) is Titler? |

| Post subject: | Re: Shunt |
Imagine me, but instead of being tersely condescending and rude to lovely people without reason, a post from Titler was dreaded because he was very verbosely condescending and a bore. So, someone would post 'Hey, I really like chips, as I said last night to the woman, as we prepped for our anniversary tomorrow.', and he would respond with a 3000 word treatise on why referring to your sexual partner purely by their gender was misogynistic and proof that the aforementioned anniversary-expectee was a bastard to all womankind. And - and - he'd do so frequently whilst saying things like 'remarked Titler, admiring his devilish junctioning of wit and forthrightness there, alas, probably the only one to do so' in every other sodding sentence. Unless you're The Rock, you can't get away with referring to yourself in the third person. |

Yes, he had a remarkable ability to come across as smug and bitter at the same time. A casual discussion about Harry Potter would result in a 1000 treatise about how everyone else were mindless sheep, and how only he really understood it, and how stupid we were, and how the world ignored him and didn't understand genius like him. Which was odd, because when he wasn't being crazy he seemed fairly normal. |
