I won't repeat what she shouted at the poor driver of a car, who had refused to stop just because BC decided she was going to cross the road, traffic or not......but there were a few choice words. This was on the way back to the station that night.

I honestly don't think anyone has said the meets shouldn't be open....

But, when there is a meet thread, it's a bit difficult, if we have met some before, not to be enthusiastic about it on the thread. How do you avoid it?

Crunchy Nutter - have just sent a message to Muffy about you and the meet :-)

Crunchy, we know your name on the boards well enough. Course you'd be welcome to come along.

And like I said earlier, we've all met each other for the very first time at one time or another. At the first Peterborough meet, I went on my own to meet people I had never seen before, I didn' t know anyone face to face, and I was nervous, but when I saw the gang outside the station, I recognised a couple of faces from photos, and it was as if I'd always known them once I got there.

OMG - just remembered why Lynda and I had a 'falling out'! LOL
It was on the old chatboard, and someone said something, (not exactly PC) not realising it was available for all to see!
Lynda took umbrage, I defended etc.
I went to a few meets many moons ago, where this gentleman (and he was a gentleman) turned up, and, I believe Daff, Maz and Teresa were there.
My problem at meets is, I see the person, not the online name - and forget!!
I'd love to meet Lynda - have no probs with online 'falling outs'.

Personally I'd find it very interesting, if someone had put me 'down' online to meet them eye to eye - and I'm not referring to Lynda!! LOL

First meet I went to was Shrewsbury.... I was petrified, and almost went home again.... I am so pleased I didn't... I met lovely people, have two cats as a result... long story for any newbies looking in, but they are GR kittens, lolol... I had only been posting a short while, too.... but I had a lovely time. Crunchy.... you will be made welcome, I promise.

I am now very much a Meet aficionado these days ;¬))

Love
