Ace Cafe, 28/08/09

LOL didn't have to wait too long Since I'm going to the store might as well get some pop corn.

Ace to Soho btw is about 20 mins if you asked I go past it everytime I head to that part of city.

Sorry to the audience, I’m a bit behind in this one (thanks MR Stroppy for bring it back up), busy evening followed by a lazy day, but allow me to catch up.

A problem aired is at least part way to being resolved afterall.

Whilst you’re very careful what you say, and go to great lengths to make it look all whiter than white, in isolation and to those not aware of your previous “Ace meet” and the fall out from it, it would appear you’ve achieved that.

But of course that’s far from the whole story here, as both we know, (yes yes I know you’ll do the “I don’t know what you’re talking about” thing but that’s mere posturing as well you know), you don’t have a perspective, but merely chose one to suit the occasion (all for effect of course), which is fine, it’s only internet after all, not like it's real life or anything serious.

You cry for details, knowing it would breach forum rules, as you already know what those detail are, and the reason it’s in open forum is you chose it to be, so I’ll play by the rules as I know them to.

I’ll ANSWER, any PM’s, but as previously said, am not going to waste valuable responding time stating the obvious, there are some not aware of the detail or hidden agenda here, but you aren’t one of them.

If you translate “mis-interpreted” to “know the game you’re playing”, it makes far more sense, I know you’re very good at the attrition thing and play on others apathy to respond, but you continue to supply the humor, I’ll continue to enjoy making a response to it.

The first and last points are demonstratively incorrect, however the middle one is, as said I’ll answer any Pm’s failing that you know where I’ll be.

All this serves to do is make this sub-forum look like a place for petty-squabbles.

As it is essentially a conversation between the two of you, can you just either:

a) PM each other, or
b) Book a room and get over it

Dirk, my paragraph after the first quote, probably explains where you’re coming from, I hope.

As to point a) & b), I don’t think he’s interested in the whole PM thing, the game as I see it is to say as surreptitiously as possible what you know, without actually saying it as this would get you post edited or deleted, Baph is more practiced than me, but having been around a fair while I’m getting there to.

One rule for all, or just for one group? Why am I told to stop posting (and the insinuation was to stop posting completely on the thread), when others are told not to worry about posting? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.

Well perhaps not falling for it, explains it away, and while we’re on the subject of irony,

Oh and to all those with ,can I politely ask you keep the noise down at the back……

Cheers Mark.

Cheers Spiderman. All is now well with the world!

For your info i have changed it when i have had the time to get round to it. I fail to see it as any kind of a priority to be honest.

BTW Why do you care so much? you have been more active in this thread than anywhere else on the forums so i assume you know the date by now anyway.

but hey, dont watch that...i prefer your new attitude of everything being allright in the world.

Mark, you say about not wasting time telling me what i apparently know, but are happy to continue this in public. You stated you'd happily pm me, but haven't. I hadn't realised you were being so childish as to wait for me to send one first, despite me saying a few times i'd happily talk about it via pm. I'll send you a pm later today from the office, so i'm not typing on my phone.
Since you clearly have some hang up about the last time i was at the ace, i'll explain it here, so all can see.
I had arranged to come down & visit laura, and visit some of her friends (nobody related to the .org, not that it matters). A few days before that meeting of friends, it was decided the ace cafe would be the place, so laura put a thread up saying about us being there. Again, we were meeting her friends, so that pretty much dictated timing. If anyone from here could make it there at the same time, fine.
One person from the forum did turn up, but i won't drag them into this by naming them.
We had a drink, we chatted about various things. Paul was there, and talked basically about his situation. To be perfectly honest, i was only half listening at that point, i've got my own issues in my personal life. Some on the forum know more about that than others.
No-one else turned up, and time was kicking on a bit, so we left.
Following that, i heard a little more about paul's situation. I was curious as to why things had happened, and i know there's been a massive rumour mill around it all, so i posted publicly. Everything, bar specific detail (forum rules etc) out in the open. The wrong thing to do? Possibly. But i'm not one to hide.
Only in the last few days, specifically AFTER starting this thread i have been aware of activities on facebook. Again, as i said before, i cannot control the actions of others, but i'll also not attempt to make any apology for them, not that i think thats necessary given the limited information i do know.

Excuse the double post, my phone has a limited input, and the site takes almost a decade to load when in the countryside.
As to my plans for the end of the month, 27th i'll be in liverpool overnight, 28th ace cafe via northampton (again, this date was finalised by someone else, not me, not laura), 29th staffordshire then back to northampton, 30th & 31st i have a bit of spare time so far, possibly ace cafe again depending on finances (i'm paid the start of every month see...). Then i'm in work on 1st sept again.
Hopefully that information will help all see that my timing is far less to do with the soho group, and more to do with my other plans.
I had no intention of going into so much detail, but as my op was brought into question, it's only right that i reply.
I'll say it yet again, the intention of the thread was simply to say 'this is where i'll be, this is the time, if anyone can make it, fine, do so.'
It wasn't me that brought the past events up, i'll happily discuss them though.
I'm in the office 3-11pm, so i'll check back then, and mark, i'll send that pm when we're quiet in work tonight.

Oh more than happy to follow your lead in this be it open or via PM, and have subsequently Pm’d you back, as in answered you ( I know I have a further few PM’s from you, and will respond when I get around to it).

As to your last Ace meeting and the subsequent results, I don’t need anyone else to inform me of what happened as I saw myself and have reacted accordingly, whilst coincidence could be at play, following your scenario it would seem some are more prone to it than others .

Whilst it’s evident you’ve gone to some effort to supply detail, whether that is just merely supportive or true, no one but yourself knows, but either way I’ll take it as an assurance the same sort of fall out isn’t expected after this next Ace visit.

Cheers Mark.

so is everyone friends again now?
