I still think the replacement plans so far have all been worse, mind. Incredibly bland boxes. And why so much new office space?

OK so in 1992 a girl I know went with her brother to Lepre-con and she was one of the only girls there. The shy nerdy boys acted like she was the goddess Aphrodite and it did wonders for her self-confidence. Then one boy approached her with a figurine and said "I have painted you an orc".

The only one I remember clearly involved him putting his beermat down over anyone's change left on the bar and slowly, furtively sliding it towards him.

Fond memories of a somewhat medicated night after an Aphex Twin gig where we were regaled with stories by a man whose uncle was apparently Cavan's Stingiest Man.
