Meet Me On The Laptop - or the Nature of Cyber-Mateship
Posted by Philip Bryer on 21 March 2009 - 1:17pm.
The exchange of bon mots and gentle ribbing on these very pages led directly to us palling up on My Space, and latterly on Facebook. Who? Me and the esteemed contributor Skirky, that's who.
The pace picked up and now I find myself with a guest spot on his weekly radio show, Why The Long Face? Tuesdays 10 'til midnight streaming at www.icrfm.co.uk, since you ask, and there's a Facebook group.
As none of this would have happened if Mark 'n' Dave hadn't had that I-know-it's-crazy-but-how-about-starting-a-magazine-for-people-just-like-us? vision, I'm curious to know whether anyone else has, erm, 'come together' after first rubbing noses at the Word Community. Is there anybody out there?

Me and Handsome P Wonderful
aka Debbie Harry, are getting married in summer.
You are all invited. It's on the island of Kiribati. Fancy dress optional.
I discovered that Archie
is actually my grandfather.
A shock to the family.
I'm sure you will understand, and respect our privacy, at this difficult time.
Who knew?
I certainly didn't. But I was tairbleh drunk at the time.
I'm hoping
that when I travel to the darkest depths of Hammersmith in October to witness the reunion of Mr Mott and Mrs Hoople there will be a suitable watering hole reserved solely for the goodly gentlefolk of Wordshire-on-the-Piss.
I got a Camel tour programme from Niks...
...and discovered his back catalogue of rock interviews, lovingly preserved on his own website. It's hardly Brief Encounter, but it's certainly cheered me up over time.
It's my birthday this tuesday by the way. Do tune in, goodly gentlefolk.
Did I mention the Facebook group?

C'mon, it is his birthday...
