First you need know the difference between airlines. TK6 ask’s, “What airline?” “American.” “OK, down this way.”
Stand around. Look around. Twiddles. *tsk* “Text H W, TK6.” “Why?” *sigh* “To find out where they are. Maybe they’re lost?” “What’s the airline again, BSJ? *pulls out a slip of paper* “Ooooops……… United Airline.” *THAT airline is down the other way!” “Now aren’t you happy I write things down, TK6!”
“Come on BSJ” exclaims, H W, “Let’s do a selfie!” “I’m in. You’ve been practicing?” “Oh, bloody ‘ell. I can’t find us!” *stomps food*
“Well, me selfie taker is top notched, H W. Be amazed!”
Did the selfie get taken?

Quite frankly I'm all sniffly, seeing you two in your snappy ELO shirts all cwtched up, it's a beautiful scene

TSA agents were alerted to a suspicious device.
H W realizing time was running and being a hero in his own right mustered up a deflection. A knowing nod at Mrs Wimp and she cried out “Tea time” confusing the Americans just long enough for the selfie to be taken! She saved the day!
Wait! That’s a photo of you and Mrs. Wimp! How did a selfie of you and Mr Wimp turn into this?
“Done told ya me taker is good!”
We spent an hour talking, ELOing, laughing and exchanged gifts. It was too bad Tk6 and I couldn’t go into the airport where there are restaurants. Too soon, we parted. Will we see each other again?
More photo's next post!

Did tear up when first met. Shades came in handy then. A time never to be forgotten.

What a clash of titans! Epic! Just look at you, taking selfies like two happy teenager friends! And the two of you with ELO t-shirts, as you would expect from the two guys with more posts on the forum, well done on that too. Nice gifts too, very generous; I'm sure the Mrs Collectionist must have loved the Birmingham ticket. The ELO key is similar to the one Nick gifted me, very neat. I think I hadn't seen a phone like yours since the very early '00s. Does tk6 have to deal very often with you doing your best effort to get lost, BSJ? Well, I can't complain, you provided us with a good amount of photos of the long-awaited meeting, thanks.

Oh, I went crazy when given that golden ticket. It's all in a piece, too! TK6 always excepts a screw-up. The man is a saint. Yup, early '00's phone. Last battery pack put in a few months ago. One hour a month, for emergences only. Now you understand why I'm clueless!

Well my oh my, who is this ELO T shirt and shades clad forum member found strolling down the airport concourse, it can only be BSJ and her side kick tk6. It was lovely to meet you both and neither of you were axe murders which was a plus point. The first USA and UK forum meeting as far as I'm aware. BSJ is awesome, absolutely lovely and not a two headed monster at all, she gave me some very kind gifts. The first a promo copy of the 7" record Stranger and one of the ELO pin badges she was wearing, how special. Mrs Wimp wasn't left out and had a gift and tk6 gave us some personalised Star Wars cards I have some pictures including a selfie I can post, I will try to get this posted up later this evening, assuming the jet lag doesn't kick in and I fall asleep and start snoring again.

If I ever decide to job hunt, H W will be my main reference.

Look at those useless tourists in the background, trudging past the event of the year totally oblivious. In the mantime BSJ and Horacewimp are sparkling away stage front, brilliant photos. It's a treat to see me ninja twin looking most civilised with her monster qualities well hidden, this bears witness to the awesomeness of the gifts being exchanged. As for Horacewimp's creative approach to pin-wearing, surely this was so that he could look down and admire it properly at all times?

Not hard to keep flames, or mascara wands, under control when meeting a kind person such as H W.
