Odd, but when I saw this, the first thing that came to mind was sitting in your car at night as you drove around Drogheda. You had put on a motivational tape thing about personality types (sanguine, melancholic, etc). There was a bit about melancholics getting irritated when people hung up toilet rolls backwards, and I seem to remember we both exclaimed 'Of course we get irritated! It doesn't work the other way!'
(And I wonder whatever became of the Screaming Orphans?)
I think the first time we met our entire conversation went "Hello" "Hi". So far as I remember it was at a birthday thing of Flick's in one of the Eerie pubs and you were passing through London and dropped by (possibly on your way home from snowboarding or suchlike?). I knew *who* you were and we'd been at cons and stuff at the same time but I think that was the first time we spoke. It wasn't exactly momentous.
A much *funnier* memory is you wandering up behind me and Tobes when we were waiting for you and Angie to come out of a shop in Peterborough when you stayed at our place. While waiting we'd started peering into shop windows and we were looking in on a jewellers when you reappeared suddenly, saying "I know what you two are up to". Then you realised what we were up to. We were making derisive comments about the horrible range of jewelry for belly button piercings. "Oh," you said.
At the Octocon masquerade in 2002 (IIRC, might have been 2001) when you arrived in too late to parade before the judges, but decided to launch yourself across the dance floor as the Silver Surfer regardless.
