@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...

Settling in...

@scooter very nice, enjoy!

[seashift]

@scooter Sláinte!

When in Dublin...

[jtaylor69]

Hopefully that makes up for the traffic?

They say, good things come in threes...

@scooter That one has nicely settled already. I'll grab one tonight, but only from a can.

@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.

[goosehd]

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…

@SamD That video is beyond words and I may have teared up and smiled at the same time!! Kudos ️

@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.
