Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 March, 2014 Share Posted 4 March, 2014 I know closure sometimes is difficult. You think I'm believing Pap about this? No way! He believes aliens run earth and killed JFK on 9/11. I want my own proof. Be in the Alexander pub in Wimbledon at 9:05 tomorrow. Make sure you bring taxi and beer money for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 March, 2014 Share Posted 4 March, 2014 Actually when is the England game? Change to the England game, 10 mins before kick off. Failure to show or bring sufficient beer and taxi Money result in you being dune, dune. I will report the results to the forum with pics and fake apology if I am wrong.

Bearsy Posted 4 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 4 March, 2014 Sigh, it's for heartwarming moments like this that I pay my £5. I think we've all learnt something here, and not just who is or is not from Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted 4 March, 2014 Share Posted 4 March, 2014 Well, two sweaty lads have just walked through and gone right past me. Could one be Bazza. BTW. Was bit scared that Barry might be nutter. Have brought ms pap as muscle. Just out of interest, how did you sell this night out to the Mrs to get her along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 4 March, 2014 Share Posted 4 March, 2014 Here's how it went down. ms pap and I arrived at around 2056, checking the exits and ordering a drink. Some people dressed in sportswear arrive at around 2106, and zoom straight to the bar. After a brief sojourn outside, one of them emerges and says hello. We had a long enough chat about our respective encounters for me to quickly realise that Barry Sanchez "in person" was indeed Barry Sanchez "the poster". No scouse kissograms or owt like that. That was apparent within about two minutes. I know this is a TMS thread, but there are some genuine lessons to be learned here. First, you are not your posts. Just thirty minutes gave me more context on Barry than sixteen months of arguing like cat and dog, no matter the frightening post count. Some of us, myself included, occasionally entertain the notion that our posts are somehow representative, but they're not. There's no substitute for the context provided by a bit of body language and a clear sense of where someone is coming from, no matter how florid you are. Second, you should be aware that there are a lot of WUMs in this world, myself and Barry included. shurlock was right; Barry played a blinder, from the start really. He saw me going off on a limb and masterfully played forum judo, using the power of my own convictions against me. My chief accusation, that he might have been dune, seemed sound enough on the evidence. Similar post frequency, shared terms like "liberal elite" cropping up, etc etc. A lot of WUMming tactics are going to be similar, especially from your own perspective. If I'm always banging on about left wing issues, stands to reason that people will find similar ways to wind me up. Doesn't make them the same people. On the issue of photos, we didn't get one because Barry wasn't into it. I can confirm that he is not a hideous heffa, although he does sport a goatee, which may be the source of his occasional evil. If I'm perfectly honest, the wind was taken out of my sails the minute that Barry actually existed. Photos seemed a bit redundant at that point so I respected his wishes.

Halo Stickman Posted 5 March, 2014 Share Posted 5 March, 2014 I'm here, like. Completely consumed by the white heat and frenzy of the fast developing story breaking live before my very eyes, first time round, I managed to miss the sinister outline of the bloke captured on the left of this photo. Great spot, Tokyo! Has there ever been a more wonderfully surreal moment in the entire history of the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
