Not usually, but this might be a pretty good way to introduce someone.
I offer myself up for to be welcomed.
Perhaps a "Prodigal Son", task, then? Or maybe, "People of the Philippines, I have returned"
As long as it includes brunch, I'm down for whatever you want to call it.
Anybody feel like newcoming to that happening place that is North Carolina?
See, this is why I have to stop being criminally unfamiliar with Santa Clara.
I think this task will serve an important social role for SF0.
I think Mr. Hatman, Blue, and Lank have already completed this task unwittingly..
Thanks. That task completion would be over a year old, though.
Lincoln, are you suggesting a big El Lay Zero meetup in the near future?
I've only done two tasks this era guys, play nice.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to Great Yarmouth; I know at least a couple of you want to see the place, for some reason.
I tell every Brit I meet that I have friends in Great Yarmouth. I say it quite proudly, with a big smile on my face. They usually respond with a blank face... I can't imagine why. Great Yamouth has all sorts of great things. I know. I've been doing research :)
I often tell my British friends that I plan on visiting GY next time I'm in the UK. They also give me that same blank face. I respond with this fantastic bit of trivia I discovered via QI:
"Two people killed many of the elderly in Great Yarmouth's Haslemere Home for the Elderly between 1960-61. The first was Gladys Elton (81), who performed a striptease. One resident had a heart attack and another five had to be treated for shock. The second was Harry Meadows (87), who dressed up as Death for a prank, complete with scythe. He knocked at the lounge room window, and beckoned the people inside to come out. Another three people died. The home was shut down in 1961."
Now, that's my kind of people.
Is it still standing? In use otherwise? Or, perhaps, he asked hopefully, empty?
Definite pilgrimage potential there.
Octogenarian urtaskers Inducing Paranoia, Creating Fear in Another Person, and even doing it Naked. That is, as they say, for. the. win.
The Haslemere Home for the Elderly was turned into the Hazelhurst Hotel where my mum and dad had their wedding reception. Fact.
(Thanks to my Politics teacher for knowing this one).
awesome. all that remains is deciding whether or not to warn the next one of what they're in for....
I thought this said "Welcome Dragon" and am mildly disappointed it does not.

14-16 April 2009 Sombrero Guy, after an astronomical train journey, ventured forth into the land of the farms, home of the chavs: GREAT YARMOUTH. The following is by ROB, who at the moment, has NEVER made a textual appearance in a task! HERE I AM?...
