[...] We had a good few events like TechCamp and IT@Cork where the bloggers got together. Most recently being the Dublin blogger meetup where the real TwentyMajor may or may not have appeared. [...]

…and Bush into Kim Il Sung.

It’s a good thing that no-one mentioned Dickie Waghorne’s (alleged) former Commie sympathies while he was still over there, or else his FI ‘journalism’ would now be coming in the form of postcards from Gitmo.

Thanks for that, Kevin – and likewise! On the Twenty-vs-imposter question, I reckon his ‘denials’ would be completely in character…

See, here’s the thing. There are two possible scenarios.

1 – The people who went to this are on a big wind-up.

2 – There’s a fucking weirdo out there pretending to be Twenty Major. Whether he’s a nice guy or not he’s a fucking mentalist.

Can any of you describe this ‘Twenty Major’ and tell me a little bit about what he said?

Quote of the weekâ€¦?

Most definately. I’m sorry you couldn’t find us, I suspect I’d have enjoyed a conversation with your good self. Will we see you at the Blog Awards? I really doubt someone turned up pretending to be Twenty. The guy was too interesting to have to do stoop so low for some people to talk to.

yeah, surely the most likely scenario, and the most clever one, would be that Twenty went along, possibly always intending to deny it later, or possibly just denied it for laughs or after seeing himself being described as “a sweetie”…

Certainly the best way to get more PR! Not that I’m cynical…

But what would I know, I wasn’t even there.

I was there too and I can’t imagine that this guy went to the trouble of pretending to be someone else. Preposterous.

Plot getting thicker than the average comment poster on UIâ€™s blog.

Quote of the week…?

I was there, too – like a couple of others who couldn’t find anyone, and then left!
