[22:54.01] <+Falcon> You did?
[22:54.01] <+Falcon> Let me check
[22:54.37] <+Falcon> <dude55>
[22:54.37] <+Falcon> hello, campers.. anyone from the old days? i see zippy is still here. sweet. where is everyone now? << Most dropped off IRC, but come in every so often.
[22:55.00] <dude55> specifically, wanna know wherer smiffy is. :)
[22:55.01] <+Falcon> <dude55>
[22:55.01] <+Falcon> i guess.. who is here? do you remember smiffy? he had a website, but not anymore.. is he still with us? just wonder.. those weird bizarre memories
[22:55.01] <+Falcon> 04:16:40
[22:55.01] <+Falcon> 31 people. oh, dear.. we used to have 200+ back in the day. but times changed. <<. Sorry.

[22:55.23] <+Falcon> sorry
[22:55.28] <dude55> ermm.. zippy might remember, i guess
[22:55.29] * Easy0bserver sets mode +v dude55 for #london
[22:55.39] <+Falcon> more than likely
[22:55.47] <+Falcon> He's older than the sands of time
[22:55.48] <+dude55> nevermind, i do appreciate the effort, cheers!
[22:55.59] <+dude55> i know... :)))
[22:56.01] <+Falcon> :P
[22:56.24] <+Falcon> EnglishRose still comes on sometimes
[22:56.58] <+dude55> i haven't checked, id #england still running? anything interesting there?
[22:57.28] <+dude55> englishrose... hahah no way!!!!
[22:57.31] <+dude55> lol
[22:58.36] <+dude55> it is so bizarre to be back.. really..but heartwarming
[22:59.29] <+dude55> yeah, cheers for the +.. lolol
[23:00.55] <+Falcon> yes
[23:02.43] <+dude55> it is kinda sad to see the decline here.. imagine, we used to have 200++ users here.. was mega busy and fun, we even had meet-ups!
[23:06.48] <+Falcon> I used to IRC back in the 90s. I remember how big networks and channels were.
[23:06.52] <+dude55> maybe i should install a client, get mi old handle back into the mix.. i dunno.. kinda a very nostalgic fit.. but it is nice to see there is still some life here.
[23:06.53] <+Falcon> I just wasn't on Undernet
[23:07.19] <+Falcon> What was your old handle? If you're using the word "handle" you're defo 90s or before.
[23:07.25] <+Falcon> Even in the 90s we didn't say that
[23:07.34] <+dude55> oh yeah, there were a few... undernet was popular because of mIRC
[23:08.06] <+dude55> haha do niot make me look bad. lolol
[23:08.36] <+Falcon> lol
[23:08.50] <+Falcon> 1970s CB radio innit
[23:09.00] <+dude55> you must remember that annoying ASL thingie
[23:09.01] <+Falcon> I preferred Pirch
[23:09.10] <+Falcon> I most certainly do
[23:09.27] <+dude55> that's mi man!
[23:09.40] <+Falcon> and the "CAPS ARE SHOUTING" stuff
[23:09.50] <+dude55> yay!!!
[23:10.07] <+dude55> jeez.. it was fun
[23:10.14] <+Falcon> and "don't beg for ops... it's rude"
[23:10.24] <+Falcon> kewl
[23:10.25] <+dude55> and angry admins
[23:10.37] <+dude55> hahah
[23:11.27] <+dude55> thanks for the memories, Falcon.
[23:11.32] <+Falcon> Anytime
[23:13.37] <+dude55> i dunno, i shall try to get a proper client installed. perhaps will stick around, let's see.. IRC has that nostalgia attached to it.
[23:16.33] <+dude55> as for smiffy.. do us a favour, mate. please poke zippy when he is around. it has been a while, and even back then he was older than us, so.. i just wanna know the latest, if available. maybe get back in touch,, just a thought. but thanks anyway.
[23:17.16] <+Falcon> Sure thing
[23:17.51] <+dude55> sorted!

[00:18.30] <dredd> ok, Falcon.. back to my own self.. just like it was back in the day.. :)
[00:22.18] <dredd> now running a proper client, so i guess i just leave it camping here for now. heh
[00:25.57] <john_cons> hellblazer is really a british comic by neil gaiman
[00:26.26] <john_cons> but it was also published in norway (in a magazine with lots of different comics)
[00:27.00] <john_cons> and when i served my conscription-service in the infantry, then some of my fellow soldiers would buy this magazine (and other magazines)
[00:27.14] <john_cons> and they would lay around in the barrack
[00:27.27] <john_cons> and i would read them if i was bored, at the end of the day
[00:31.33] <dredd> you are surely evolving. you read comics. jeez... try reading a book, it has no pics, just some meaningful text. heheh
[00:33.16] <dredd> don't get upset, mate.. every friendly jab is a bonus here, in the land of the dead. it makes you alive.
[00:36.29] <john_cons> it wasn't mobile infantry, so we had to walk a lot (this was back in the early 90's) so we often relaxed in the evening, and would read all kinds of stuff, like newspapers, books and comics
[00:38.36] <john_cons> i had really stopped buying comics around then (i was one of the oldest there)
[00:39.05] <john_cons> i was at summer-school in weymouth, in the summer of 1986, and then i bought judge dredd at a sainsburys supermarket there
[00:39.46] <dredd> where did you serve?
[00:39.47] * Easy0bserver sets mode +v dredd for #london
[00:40.24] <john_cons> at an army-base named terningmoen, in elverum
[00:40.38] <+dredd> noted +. appreciated. thanks.
[00:40.58] <+dredd> norway?
[00:42.05] * [Devil] (~animal@45.150.5.5) has joined channel #london
[00:42.07] <john_cons> yes, in south-eastern norway (they used to defend against sweden there)
[00:42.27] <+dredd> cheers, to you, my friend!
[00:43.31] <john_cons> royal marines went there, and we competed against them in a 30 km cross-country skiing competetion
[00:44.02] <john_cons> competition
[00:44.47] <+dredd> heh.. :)))
[00:44.57] <+dredd> say no more. :)
[00:45.49] <+dredd> tell you what.. i have no idea why i returned here.. it was a spontaneous decision with a whisky glass in one hand, no clear goals... but it feels nice to be back. somehow..
[00:46.39] <[Devil]> too negative
[00:47.24] <+dredd> just functional
[00:48.06] <[Devil]> have you been helping this channel before, or may be in the past ?
[00:49.05] <+dredd> some familiar names.. would i call myself dredd now? no way. simply for the sake of the good ole days, some other pensioner with a zimmer frame might recognise me. :)
[00:49.28] <+dredd> i was admin here too :)

[00:50.28] <+dredd> we had ritter bot to look after everything.. and ritter was a fascist bot, i must admit.
[00:50.52] <[Devil]> you had shit
[00:51.09] <+dredd> heh.. i hardly remember anything
[00:51.55] <+dredd> please be my guest. take a piss
