@JoshC I had a conversation with you that I can’t fathom how so many people from around the world can get together and feel like old friends and family.
There is something special about this group and I’m glad to be a part of it. Till next time…️
…and once again to all of the IHUK crew, thank you on so many different levels.

Drive from Gosport to Southampton airport(17 miles), 92 minutes
Shit, sorry......

@Giles , No worries. You warned me of rush hour traffic. I wouldn't have believed you, if you had told me it was as bad as it turned out. Southampton airport certainly made up for it. I don't think you can get to your gate anymore quickly than that. I wound up taking a seat for 45 minutes before boarding...

@scooter Sláinte!

@Jett129 I think with the rise of online gaming, For The Win became popular. I only knew of FTW as that until I learned of the original meaning. Fuck The World is a little aggressive for my tastes personally.

FTW was a sign of rebellion much like the anarchy symbol illustrating that you did not conform to societies definition of acceptance.
If I recall correctly, The Who’s pinball wizard was a song about the same and at the time pinball was a slow slope to deviance and non acceptance.

@goosehd - and there was me thinking it was about a deaf, dumb and blind kid…

Great seeing you all over the weekend, hope everyone got home safely!
You probably saw me floating around with a camera on Saturday trying to grab some candid snapshots. Apologies if I missed anyone or any magic moments, but hopefully, this kinda captures the vibe of the day…

@Nocturama Pinball at the time was not widely accepted. I have yet to see this movie, but according to some hardcore pinball freaks, it's really good.
