I would like to say hello and goodbye. There are couple of reasons for this. 1) I am new and haven't much time tonight but will promise to have a more of exploring later this year. 2) This is and will be my first post and thread in this forum/group. So don't panic as that's my job. Right, I am off to do so many things in not very much time. Sigh

In my bedroom on a chair, in my house (well half of my house), Bloxwich, Walsall, West Midlands or Black Country.

Yeah! Somebody new to torture! *Evil Grin* Greetings!

Quite a way away then. Id visit, but my Skyline is at the garage, and like as not will be there all summer

AAAAAaaaaaawwwwwww, don't worry. If you did comek then I would take you to some nice pubs, hic.

Do pubs in the Black Country do real scrumpy, complete with dead rats?

Scrumpy isn't a black country thing. Brown and mild, maybe. Y'am welcum ere mayet, frum anuthar Black Country person.

Originally posted by Ronin Do pubs in the Black Country do real scrumpy, complete with dead rats?

Maybe Herefordshire. Black Country will do mild and bitters mostly and oh yes stout.

Which part of the Black Country, yer from then?

A little way south of Dudley.

Welcome from another fellow Brit You think us Brits are slowly taking over the place?

Not if any of us Aussies have anything to do with it! Grin. Whats this? A new member being greeted with nothing more than a bout of British civility ? Pubs and stout and Black country midland talk? and not a hint of Frisking?! I say ...thats just not cricket chaps!! *Grin widens, as cable gun is whisked out , aimed and fired at Metaliant, cable cord wrapping itself around new member. A deft tug from an expert hand has a wrapped Metaliant flying in a graceful arc through the air...and into the Frisking room. * My Greetings and Salutations to you dear Member. And a Hearty welcome to the site. Youve already made yourself at home I see . Now how about revealing how you got your name, when you first saw Gatch/ BOTP/ Eagle Riders/ G force who your fave character was / is and why and whether you can draw, write fics, IF, etc. Are you ISO affiliated or more with the Dark side ? and the biggest question ...considering there are so many of you in the UK..will there be a UK mini gatch get together/ conference?

Nah, it just the Aussie's imagination.

'Ere by gum as they say up north in Yorkshire. Right, where can I start....hhhhhhhmmmmmm......I know. I chose Metaliant because I like any rock and metal music and as the pretend military people call themselves militants, I thought I call myself Metaliant. Get it, militant, metaliant, militan, metaliant, militant. Yeah, I know, I made up a word, but I don't care. As for the series, like everyone else in Britian, I saw BOTPs and fell in love with it. Why? Dunno. All I know is I like it even though the Zark character is very annoying and seems to be a voyeauer. Disgusting robot. I can write stories but not very well, draw, yeah right, drawing stick men are too difficult with me. I am definately with the ISO and one of the team. My number is 666, I ride a bicycle called a Chopper which turns into a cooler bicycle ( ) and my bird outfit looks like a London pigeon or a flying rat as they call them. My religon is Jedi, as I am one of the majority who said on the census form a few years ago, that my religion was Jedi. Imagine that, everybody is trying to use toy lightsabers and trying their best to use their Jedi mind tricks on Traffic Wardens, Pub Landlords, parents, etc. I think that's it. Anythink else?

Less than half an hour's drive from the jolly 1930's style zoo with its poor depressed looking animals. Some buildings just shouldn't be protected...

Maybe that's why the animals are depressed?

Holy cow. A 1930's style zoo? And here PETA is saying that our *new* zoos aren't good enough. Poor animals. Welcome, Metaliant! I wish I could make up words. ^_~ Hmmm...what to say, what to say... Ah! Zimbelstern! Yep. That's a good word. Zimbelstern.

Grabs camera and follows Imi. "And yet another innocent is corrupted by the infamous Condor Imi!"

Not bad but what about Zamblebabble?

I have never been to Dudley, nor to its zoo.

I have only been to the town centre, castle and zoo once and have been to the Black Country museum several times. The last time I went to the museum, it was brilliant as I had a pickled egg and chips made in the 19th century way and went into the pub, they had there. Lovely pints as well.

Wahey, pickled eggs I've never had one. They just don't appeal to me. Not black pudding either. I haven't been to the museum in years. I really must try and go this summer, now that my daughter may be old enough to appreciate it.

I never even heard of a pickled egg befroe and throught to try one. I must go back myself to see if anything changed.

Did someone say black pudding?

Did someone say Metal- head Chopper -riding Jedi??!!

Originally posted by Ronin Did someone say black pudding?

No me and never tried it and never will.

Originally posted by imaqtz Did someone say Metal- head Chopper -riding Jedi??!!

Nope, not me, probably the Iron- bottom Big Boy -riding Sith.

Grin. Plausible Deniability. I like it. Ever thought of becoming a politician?

The sith that rides big boys? That doesn't sound PG-13.

Originally posted by imaqtz Grin. Plausible Deniability. I like it. Ever thought of becoming a politician?

Actually last year in the British local elections yes and though I lost (knew it) got 424 more votes than I thought I would. Guess how many votes I got. 424 votes. Couple of workmates of mine, said I was brave enough and if I was in their area then I they would vote me in. All I can say is watch out Bush and his girlfriend Blair, 'cause here I come.

Impressive. You do realise however, your experience in the political arena wont give you any sort of Dimplomatic Immunity nor serve any kind of political correctness in here? Evil Grin We SHAll Corrupt You !! ( either that or force feed you Black Pudding!) Mwahahahah!

What experience? I am already corrupted. Just be glad, there's only 1 of me. I don't the world can take it. If there was a brood of mes , well..........

Well I'm just gonna sit back and watch the corruption, Imi and the gang at work is something I enjoy seeing

"HHHHHHHHHmmmmmmmmmmmm, not a bad idea." He muses. "Any tea Cep?" Pours himself a cup of tea and offers to pour Cep a cup of tea. "Milk and sugar?"

Milk no sugar, thankyou.......ah a fine brew if I do say so myself....which I did

I can make the best coffee and tea in the universe.
