I've always wondered which folks on here actually see each other in the real world?

I try to keep clear of such weirdos (or maybe they steer clear of me)! ;-)
Seriously though, I've probably met a few people in the UK over the years (through buying and collecting in person), but no-one whom I knew to be an A.org-er at the time.
I nearly met Steve Jones (ClusterUK) a few months ago when he collected an A1200T from my house, but I was out at work when he actually visited. I've met Binox's dad (Luke himself was out at work when I visited), and dropped some 68K/Amiga reference books off at his house, although I think he frequents EAB more than this site.

I generally communicate by PM, e-mail or forum postings - I don't really 'get' IRC, and I'm an unsociable 8ugger most of the time in person. :-) I personally like the considered approach that forums/mailing lists allow in terms of constructing and considering postings prior to submission.

I've tried to get out to LAG meetings a few times (and intended to do Bletchley Park in 2010) but something always gets in the way. :-/
As far as I know (from "Map of Amigan" type projects) there is only one other active Amigan in Hull (TonyYEB). Two Amigans does not a user group make.

It'd be good to get down to a curry night though next time I'm in the capital; in my mind I'm only an associate member of the Curry Club. (Just make sure the Tarka Dahl is nice and thick - I hate watery dahl!).
