OCUK Meets (Do they happe? What are they like?)

I really don't think it gives any indication of number of mates... If anything, those that go to meets with people they know through the interweb are less shy about meeting new people and probably have more friends than someone who shuns such things...

But that's just me - i'm happy with how many mates i have anyway ;)
 
I've not been involved because I really don't want to know about the social lives of the attendees.

If you don't want to be involved that is fair enough but to immediately assume that people go to a meet because of a lack of friends is somewhat naive. It isn't as if we are talking about a special and unique breed of people here, I'm sure that there are odd people on the internet but everyone I met was both very nice and relatively normal (I'm happy to exclude myself from that description ;)).
 
What happened?

Everyone showed up, we had some drinks, people who weren't from round here did some touristing (i oblidged anyway :p). We had dinner, went out for some more drinks. Some of us stayed out later clubbing and had a good time. Just a few days of relaxing more than anything with what i class as old friends :)
 
The touristing bit is unusual for a meet really, but there's so much to see in Edinburgh that it would have been a bit of a waste just to turn and and get bladdered.

Although admittedly I was on the beer at half past eight in the morning while on the train on the way up!
 
So you're happy to socialize on the interwebz, but actually meeting up in real life is sad? That seems a bit backwards to me.

Making the odd comment on a message board anonamously is worlds apart from actually meeting up with people who post on said message board.

While some message board meets actually sound interesting (i.e. the porn convention, or a go-karting message board meet, etc) I'd imagine a OCUK meetup is likely to be frequented by Normans.
 
Well it proves how very very wrong and short sighted you are! Tbh i wouldn't want to meet you!
