How many folks here hail from the UK?

Me!!!!

I do (London)

me too (Liverpool)

Me too (London)

Yup. (South Devon)

I hail from Londinium caesar :)

Dave (in Bonnie Scotland) :-)

::waves:: Leicester...and i so wanted to go to the bay area party ::sulks:: Ever

north of Newcastle :o).....Steve

Bill (Scotland too)

same here Everseer, but difficult with no passport & not enough money. ps for those that don't know the romans built a city called Londinium when they invaded us and we sort of kept it and called it London. end of history lesson :) Rob

Maybe we should have a UK poser meet, i'm up for it :o)....Steve

sad brit..... Plymouth but moving to Reading next week......wishing it was usa so could go to conventions, parties, and general good time had by american posers. I feel so deprived (yes, okay, I'm jealous) ps......what uses?

expat signing in from NYC :) Don't think I count though. sigh

yeah I agree steve, but where? and could we persuade someone from CL to fly all that way? (nudge nudge, wink wink, bloody great obvious hint) Rob

you're still one of us tho Lyrra. ;) Rob

another Brit here! (near London)

You count Lyrra, signing in from the beautiful Big Apple! - We all hail from the UK, and the UK weather knows all about "hail" tee hee! "Hail Caesar!" Answer: "I know" (Back to Rob's thread for a moment!) Dave (Who needs to stop leaving the tops of his smelly marker pens) :-)

If we can get something to black mail them with Rob LOL.....Well looks like the southerners outnumber the northerners and Scottish LOL so i guess London maybe...just thinking if we do have a meet and loads come from Scotland on the main Edinburgh to London line we could have a hell of a party just getting there LOL....but seriously if we do organise one i'm up to help and depending where can give a lift if the train is not suitable...Steve

I thought maybe birmingham cause it's nearer the middle and not to difficult to get to for us southeners, but meeting on the train would be fun too :) Rob ps sniffing marker pens is good fun too just watch out for the bugs crawling out of the walls.

Me too. North Devon. AlShoshana, I didn't know anyone was that close.

Hey! Now you are going to make us Californians jealous because we can't fly to England. :( ::sniff!::

I'm from Edinburgh -- Mark

Woah! Don't forget me!! (Portsmouth but moving to Petersfield soon)

I live near Ipswich, moving to Cambridgeshire soon. BazC

Hertfordshire, although by the time you receive this London will have probably spread out to engulf me ;o) Cheers

Yep, me too, from the wonderful north east mining region, West Yorkshire.

It wouldn't take much persuading to get someone from CL to hang out. We plan on attending some shows in the UK this fall, and I plan on being there in force. I would love to get together over a dinner and drinks. Once I get my schedule cleared up, I'll know what events will place me in the UK and let this crowd know accordingly. I'm a social beast. Steve Cooper

Wow! Thanks Koop!!! Dave :-)

That is great to hear Steve ;o). Cheers

Raises an eyebrow in interest

Signing in from bonny Glaschu! American-born, though. Ach well. I've been here long enough to understand the taxi drivers.

Well, this looks like critical mass to me (and I'm not the weeist bit surprised that the British contingent is forming the next party group). Hmmm... it almost looks like there are enough users/active posters in the UK for 2 groups to coalesce over time. 19 local responders in 6 hours? :) Carolly

Guess you can't count my head...as I live in Atlanta. BUT, I spent a month in southern England years ago...and loved EVER minute of it. AND, I drove everwhere I went! Even the first day driving off the ferry in Dover, I headed for London and drove to the middle of the city! Not bad for a guy from the colonies, eh? Of course, I got stuck down a oneway street and had to pull over to talk to a Bobbie about how to get out...heck, we chatted for about an hour before he said he'd look the other way while I did something illegal...hehe. I stayed in a B&B in Graves End for a while. Did all the toursity things, but NOTHING can ever erase the memory of staying in a B&B out in the country. I still have the pics of the farmhouse that was built in the 17th century! Hops farmers they were and GREAT to sit and chat with. Even the table I ate breakfast at was an antique. I'm more of a photographer than a Poser, and it was a wealth of images that weekend! Ahhh, England!

Well, I'm from Manchester and I'm quite interested in meeting up with the rest of you.

well it looks like I have to start saving my pennies if I want to get to any of these shows that CL will be at and have money to spend on nice software :) Rob

I'm from north Essex and I'm up for a meeting almost anywhere. And I'd be pleased to down a few beers and chip butties with Steve Cooper.

Can we have a haggis, neeps and tatties option for the Scots?

Am also from the UK. Hailing from sunny Eastbourne, only not that sunny so far. :(

My Pals enderson and jarm are from the UK. They just might not have seen your post yet. Cheers! Pam

Near Gatwick, so if Kupa could just tie a handkerchief to a copy of P5 and toss it out the window as he lands....

That's a good Idea RHaseltine, I am on the flight path 20 mins drive from Heathrow. I volunteer to put up a smoke signal if he makes that 2 copies.

I'm also from the UK. Warrington, about halfway between Manchester and Liverpool. Cheers Ian

And you expect the rest of the plane to sit calmly while Steve pulls out an armload of parachute silk and cracks open a window? Right, un-huh! If it is a planeload of folks going to that digital media conference, they'll mob him for the software! The captain's log will note "unusual turbulence inside cabin". However, there might be enough humor and human interest to make a good news story. ;^) Carolly

And Maybe just about enough humour and human interest for someone to make a good image??????????

An image? Why not a shortshort? Remember that Twilight Zone episode about the "Terror at 20,000 feet" (or however high up they were)? We can have Steve inside the plane madly gesturing, while the Gremlin is tearing at the wing hatch (the plane can be descending through a cloud layer to make this part extra eerie)... [note, I would do the first part in black and white and then segue to color once the boxes start coming out] he reaches in deeply, then takes out colorful boxes and drops them off one by one (like a kid dropping stuff from the roof)... back to Steve inside plane where we realize that he has a checklist... back to the Gremlin hooting and dancing on the wing... then to the boxes floating colorfully down over London towards rooftops marked with large white X's. The Gremlin and Steve could then give each other the thumbs up, the Gremlin crawls inside the hatch, and we return to the inside of the plane where the landing procedure has initiated... maybe the loudspeaker is saying something about a safe arrival, and Steve could smile like a chessy cat. The model of a passenger cabin is around somewhere, and we have a Gremlin. Morphing Dan's face into Steve's is quite possible. We don't have a wing section or a complete commercial airliner that I know of, but I've never gone looking for such. Depending upon what is out there, it may need to be modeled or converted. The parachute/box-harness would require modeling, too. We ought to be able to find an aerial view of London for compositing. Carolly

Your passenger should be glad that Poser doesn't come in a can the way Painter used to! If the aisle is blocked, nobody can bring him coffee. :( Hmm... how about each box carefully belted into its own seat? Carolly

hey cheers which bit of Hertfordshire you in? I'm right on the edge of London here in Borehamwood within spitting distance of Barnet. Rob
