accessify meetup - manchester...[edit]19th november[/edit]
3. Beer is good
4. Cake is good
5. Microsoft, as a corporate beast, is evil
5a. Some of the techs working for Microsoft are really great
6. Burgers and chips are also good
7. Internet Explorer is the worst piece of software ever written, with the possible exception of Word Perfect
8. Free beer tates better
9. Randomly shouting "Joe Clark says you're a wanker" at strangers and Police officers does not constitute a public order offense.

Hang on then, having not been to an Accessify meet before I want to make sure I've got the tone right. Which of the following comments would/would not be acceptable.
- 1. Lovely to meet you all chaps and chapesses. My name's Jack, and it's a pleasure to see you all.
2. Do we have to call people by their screen names or their real names?
3. Right, now we're here, let's put our heads together and talk about website accessibility.
4. Can we stop talking about computers now and get on with the drinking?
5. Acceshibility's great, ishn't it? S'fantastic. Is that my beer?
6. I love you, you're me best mate, you are (talking to cigarette machine which has been kindly 'holding' his pint)
7. Who's round is it?
7. Ha ha ha. I falled over...

"Erm.. underwear!? Well, I'm wearing some marks and spencers boxer shorts. Why?"
"You've got a hot what? Sorry, I think you might have the wrong IP address..."

You forgot about the bluetooth latex vibrating full body suit for keeping those long distance relationships alive.

Proposed agenda:
1. Apologies for absence
2. Minutes (photos?) from last meeting
3. General introductions
4. Conversation* and drinking
5. Matters arising (food, more drink, who's round it is)
6. Any other business (food, hotels, journeys home etc)
7. Arrangements for next meeting.
*conversation may include accessibility** if desired.
**this does not include shouting things related to Joe Clarke, USB-related marital aids and the accessibility thereof, anything to do with laundry, or smutty computer-pun innuendo. At least, not until I've got a drink.

Amendments to agenda:
1a. Derision and speculation on the parentage (or lack thereof) of those absent due to moving house, childcare or work commitments or just being lazy.
5a. Calculation and display, using MathML, of the Accessifier with the highest blood alcohol level. This person is to be dared to steal a tram.
