You joke but, before re-reading that article today, I had decided I wanted to have a go at some "NSC Social" events.
Frankly, as someone who is quite introverted, the thought semi-terrifies me, but I think they could be good fun, and there are a lot of names I'd like to put faces to. I think...
The thread about the Luton forum had me digging back to try and find a copy of the early version of NSC as the Luton threaded format is similar to how NSC was back in 1996/7.
Unfortunately 2002 is as early as the Wayback Machine goes.
And another @chaileyjem piece that also got flagged as new today if you enjoy his writing, and you probably do.
Thank god this is all in the past...

I know it's been posted on here before, probably several times in fact, but for some reason my alert for mentions of NSC has just flagged this excellent piece from @chaileyjem as being new, even though it's anything but.
Anyway, most days don't pass without a small group of people on here...
