What happens when we ***p into each other at HiFis shows.....?

Here's one for you Eric, True or False?

It is not the person who gives abuse that affronts, but the view that we take of it as insulting; so that when someone provokes you it is ones own opinion which is provoking.

Do we wear carnations in our lapels?

Do we panic and desperatly rack our brains to remember if we have insulted one another on this forum?

Imagine Mick and Fritz meeting up at Heathrow. Well the thought amuses me.

Does anyone have any dreadfully embarrassing stories to tell about meeting fellow Naimees?

Any good stories too?

I've never been to a Hifi show, but I cannot imagine that I would struggle to deal happily with anyone who I have shared a debate with.

The ones I might struggle with would be those, whom I never wanted to share a debate with!

Well said. There is no one here I would not have a beer with.

LOL John, I love good wit.

but it is often the case that we do not know if we have bumped into any one from here at a show.

Often it is the chaps from Naim that tell one if a name from the forum is at the show.

I can tell you lot off a mile a way, shifty listless eyes, Stonewash jean bottoms, and some sort of free beer t-shirt.

Carrying around all the literature crap that you have no intention of buying and annoying the sales reps because they know you have no intention of buying. You have a bit of a belly, your friend who you dragged along because he just bought a technics system is into a bit of weed and smells a bit.

THe only women worth looking at are part of the show the rest are munters, or girlfriends soon not to be.

Tell me I am wrong.

You're wrong.
He bought a NAD

I've never been to a hifi show. To be honest, I've never understood the point. Hotel rooms are notoriously poor-sounding; you get to hear music you hate played at uncomfortably high volumes by pushy salespersons with permanently tapping toes and silly grins; plus, as you indicate, the overwhelming majority of the punters will be borderline Aspergers cases with personal hygiene issues.

Were I to attend, I would of course be a rose amongst thorns in my immaculately cut Savile Row suit, hand-made black brogues and Jermyn Street shirt and tie. But sadly, for the reasons aforementioned, my presence is never likely to grace such a geekly gathering.

If I desire to audition newly-released audiovisual offerings, I send my chauffeur to bring back a 'consultant' with the latest 'gear' and audition said equipment in the comfort of my own home, where the only smells are from my eau-de-cologne and the delicious meal being prepared by my French chef.

It's okay to contribute to a hi-fi forum though, eh Joe?!
