February Birthdays!

Sunday, February 1st, 2004

JamesOff has a birthday on 7 February, and spud has his on 20 February. Both will be 24 which, as I was reminded a few weeks ago, now counts as mid 20’s.

Kipje has a birthday on 9 February and will be 22.

Scorponok’s birthday is on the 28 February and will be 23.

If anyone else has a birthday coming up then please tell me.

New Year Party

Thursday, January 1st, 2004

#exeter had another stunning start to the new year. Thanks go out to simsea, who provided an evenings worth of entertainment, and Greeneyez who provided lots of bread products the following day. I am sure that new year will be most memorable for JamesOff who received my rapidly fainting body after I cut myself with a kitchen knife. Thanks also go out to the person who ripped off my wing mirror (£60 + labour + tax).

I have new year photos [durrans.com] on my photo gallery.

Thanksgiving 2003

Saturday, November 1st, 2003

A turkey

That’s right!!! It’s time, once again, for the powers of American culture to creep into the #exeter mind. Believe it or not, it’s been a whole 4 years since the last one was held, and it’s about bloody time for another one… Turkey, stuffing, mashed po-tay-toes, a whole lotta wine, and dam0 screaming something in German about being horny for his father. Good times to be had by all… also doubles as the “house of sim” housewarming party.

so yeh… some details… Saturday November 29th (with most likely some amount of silliness on the Friday 28th) at Andi’s (simsea) house (surprise!) and if you need more details, that’s what we’re here for.

Update: Houseparty! 25th->26th October

Monday, October 20th, 2003

After the success of Greg’s housewarming back in July he is now organising another meetup at his house in London. He has space for 7 people to sleep over so if you are intrested get your reservation in now. More information can be found on a thread in the Jamesoff.net forums.

Update (20/10/03): Houseparty is still going ahead. Signup in the forums!

Update: Diggerland & ‘Off Housewarming - 18th October.

Diggerland

A trip to Diggerland is being organised for the 18th October. There is an announcement on the #exeter forum.

STOP PRESS! James(Off) and Roz are planning a housewarming to coincide with this event. Roz has made a post on the forums about the housewarming.

Diggerland is located near Cullompton in Devon just off the M5. Children (and adults if they wish) have the opportunity to ride in, and drive, different types of construction machinery including Dump Trucks, Mini JCB Diggers and Giant JCB Diggers (all under strict supervision).

Update (20/10/03): Diggerland and the housewarming were a smashing success. I have put diggerland photos online.

27th July: Terminator DVD afternoon

Sunday, July 13th, 2003

For those of you not attending Greg’s housewarming, James and Roz are organising an afternoon of televisual entertainment at their new flat. For the low low price of nothing you can enjoy an afternoon of watching the first two Terminator movies on their new large tele.

Alton Towers Meetup

Alton Towers logo

There is a meetup planned for the 2nd August at Alton Towers. The idea at the moment is to all meet up just infront of the ticket area some time between 10am and 11am and then spend a day of fun and stuff in the park. If you are intrested in this trip then please see the forums for more information. If you miss out on this one then I am sure that there will be another meetup along soon.

Matryx Housewarming

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

To celebrate Jeans’ birthday, Matryx is organising a housewarming at his London bachelor pad on the weekend of 26th July. More information is available in this forum thread or by asking Matryx himself. I hope there will be lots of bad photos available for those of us who can’t make it.

CS98: The Homecoming 2003

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2003

For those of you who were in cs98 at Exeter Arun Horne is organising a meetup for mid September. Plans are to go on a topsham 10 or similar random drunken pub crawl. Check out the cd98 forum on jamesoff.net for more information.

New Website!

Tuesday, July 1st, 2003

The old website that was designed and built by simsea had not been used for ages so I, dunos, decided to make a new one thanks to the suggestion by GrlOnFire. I looked at the makeup of #exeter people and decided that a child like design with lots of colour and stuff would be appropriate. That is also why I chose Comic Sans MS as the font. One of the main ideas I have had is to interview one of the #exeter residents each month so that everyone else can find out what a twisted individual that person is. This months victim is JamesOff. You should also notice that the quotes in the blue box above are live from the quotes database!
