    Hi All,

    I thought I'd quickly update you all on the coffee break The Hud and I finally had! It was an absolute pleasure meeting him and we talked Star Wars the whole time.

    It's so cool knowing we met on The Cantina and finding out we work a couple of metre's from each other! We've agreed we're going to see each other regularly for Star Wars chats and opinions over a coffee ;)

    Note - I've tried attaching the picture of us two!... not 100% if it's worked or not. (left is me, right is @The Hud )

    There's a place called 'TK Maxx' in the UK? Is it a chain? We have 'TJ Maxx' in the US. How strange.

    Glad you guys were able to meet up!

    hahaha yes I know. I've been fortunate to travel across the States a few times so I knew of both chains... I have no idea why the letters are different though hahaha.

    Thank you! The meet-up was amazing! Goes to show how brilliant the Star Wars and Cantina community is!

    With apologies for being both off topic AND astoundingly dull...

    Another UK retailer (and competitor) complained that the TJ Maxx brand was too close to their own name, so the parent firm just moved the name one letter up the alphabet. If you think that's a strange one and you're up late with nothing better to do, look up why Burger King are also called Hungry Jack's in Australia.

    Sorry again. I'll be at my post. Guarding the trash compactor.

    As you were...

    It binds us...(yoda 2)


    I was once active on a music forum, it was usual to meet each others. One day, two members went in a road-trip from France to Norway in order to see a third member of the forum ;) they posted daily pictures of this - it was awesome to live it day by day.
    The Force is strong between passionates, wheter their passion is Star Wars, music, or anything else ;) always cool to meet someone who speaks the same "language" as yours :)
    As far as I know, the only person here I could meet is @Bandini - even if in order to do that, we should travel some kilometers ;)
