Rachel and I popped to Bath this weekend to see Luke Scammell and his partner, Becc. Luke and I have been MSN/ICQ/IRC pals for nigh on six years, and up till now had never met. A while ago, we decided to set a date for our first meeting, and now, with one slight postponement, we have!
Bath is a lovely city; never fails to disappoint, although this weekend it nearly did cos it rained most of the bloody weekend! Rach and I ventured out to the shopping centre on Saturday and bought a few bits and bobs. Otherwise, we mostly chatted, watched DVDs, drank white white and ate quite a lot of lovely food.
What do I think of Luke now that I’ve met him the flesh? To be honest with you, he’s a lot nicer than I’d expected. His manner on MSN is quite brash and blunt, but in person, he’s a lot more considerate and decent. Quite a contrast there! However, I must say that even though he comes across like that online, I have always thought him to be a trustworthy and honest bloke. So in that respect, the online Luke and the person Luke are one and the same.
It was lovely to see Rachel too – I hadn’t seen her for 2 weeks since we came back from Majorca (due to my going to Leicester last weekend)!
