Just wondering how you all met eachother, all The Hub Lifers. Or when you met eachother for the first time. I'm sure there's more than a few amusing stories!

Almost everyone here I first met online. As for actually met....
I met James Wilson, Graham and John Cullen at some London Pub meets in the early 2000s. Paul Wright, Tons, and Andy Borkett at the same meets. May have met Garry there too.
Andy, Karl & Ralph was probably at a Transforce - I think The Kaptain was at the 2002 one where I brought Armada Megatron and the Brave Police along - or the 03 pub meet where we took the Captain Squalk Ralph & Jetfire photo and Elliot ended up chunning in the gents
Martin was at Memorabilia in Brum in 2003: we ended up stuck on Brum Int for a fair while waiting for a train discussing Babylon 5.
The Pirrie Brothers, Matt Marshall and Andy K would have been at one of the BiGs
Pinwig was at the Big the year after the Pink Energon incident. The Comic con was **** and I got teabagged at Kemble for 2+ hours on the way back.
Ken, Nigel and Stomski when they came to Pig Hill for various Lego Dos
Browny & LlamaGod at pre TFN last year.
I cannot remember where I first met Nick!
I have to the best of my knowledge never met M though we've definitely been to a couple of the same cons. I don't think I've ever met Jim Kinsey either or Dezzeh
Neither have I met Shockprowl but then none f us have

The only good way to meet Hubbers is with Tiramisu (or a sausage casserole I believe, but I don't have first hand experience of that).

The only good way to meet Hubbers is with Tiramisu Alas in the post Bottelinos age, such a thing is not possible.

It is a trauma from which most of us have not yet recovered.

I do not remember the first time I met Karl, Andy or Ralph. I knew them from online before meeting them in person though. I remember meeting Nick after a convention once though. He was very intense. And had toys.

I first met M in the flesh at Transforce 2002 and pre-ordered a fanzine.
17 years later I am still waiting for it to come out...

You have stayed under my roof for months. I think we are even now.

Let me think now, I met Ken and George in Bristol many many moons ago, probably a few others at the same time, that must have been around '95? Obviously seen the Toy-Fu gang at various events, met a few other TMUK'rs over the last couple of years at the bar. I've usually stuck to the few people I went with at past events but have been trying to expand horizons over the last couple of years.
