I just had a thought. If you would all love to meet me - and I'm sure you would - you can all chip in and send me the airfare and I'll come to the Peterborough meet. I'll need a bed of course and decent food:-))

Muffy, I never organised a meet but I hope that's how the London meets came across too - I know I met people I'd never spoken to on the boards and some of them became proper mates

Course we are Uggers. We all just natter and have a damn good laugh, usually at Hayley's expense, lol, a few drinks, some food (well in my experience paninis, but I haven't been to one at the Wetherspoons),

Thinking of coming along then?

Actually I have been to a met and told a couple of people before I didnt like this person, as I had met them before and found their behavior towards me rather strange, I did my best to stay out of their way until right at the end she found me, I was polite to her, and in my opinion she tried to belittle me it went down like a lead balloon I even asked if my friends if it was me taking it the wrong way and was assured it wasnt me.

Yeah there are a few Uggers....but I don't have any problems with them at all. In fact I'd have chosen to meet up with them !!!

Like I say....if it were down to ME I'd throw the whole thing open...but P/Boro meets are an easy going riot and I hope they stay that way !

Some people pay LOADS of money to attend and put themselves out for the day ....it's not fair to jeopardize that for some sap that just wants to seek attention lol

Some of us HAVE met before but we all remember how it felt to meet new people and we all make sure everyone is made welcome....it's natural to be more familiar with those that you've met before but I hope that doesn't come across as an exclusive club because it really isn't xx

TW no , I was just picking up a point you was referring to. I agree. some gob off behind the safe seat of their PC knowing others will "fight their corner for them".......It's easy to shout "bully" or "no mark" or whatever behind the screen, give em a chance to do it in the real world............Hah, shrinking violets!!..........& that get's right up my hooter!!

I think Jane is coming along for the first time, Sue M is meeting most of us for the first time, George has never met us, and I'm sure there are others, but we haven't actually got a list yet lol

SueMaid Report 13 Feb 2010 22:41

Well I know that Uggers was delighted to meet me as was Maz and Jean and I certainly lived up to their expectations:-)) Lynda snubbed me and refused to meet up so I'd never to a meet if she were likely to turn up:-)))

Muffy I haven't read the Peterborough meet thread - have you got any people who aren't well known to you on the boards going? Cos with the London meets it did seem to be mostly old faces or board friends going and I do think it might be off putting if you're a bit shy cos everyone seemed like old friends

TeresaW Report 13 Feb 2010 22:39

Hayley...I cant' believe you just said that. One of the reasons I'm going is to have a day with you...the others are a massive and welcome bonus. But if you're not going to meet your bezzie mate....well.....*sniff*


Whirley, you know I wasn't meaning you, I was referring to your thinking everyone was the same off the boards as on....but there are one or two we give too much credit to, and that they are only brave behind the screen, and they wouldn't dare act so despicably face to face.
