OK...let's put it another way.

Supposing GR organised an official Meet in all it's glory of...etc etc lol ( yeah right)!

Would people not go because other people were going that they didn't get on with......Would/should GR discriminate ( Lol even more ).

Nay I say........we should not discriminate against others who we may not get on with but others might do.....if one knows what I mean. ( no slagging off from the 'predictable' quarters if yer don't mind.

Aw tbh Flower I've gone past caring

as long as people STATE where they've seen my pic so i don't imagine they've been stalking me away from the boards i'm pretty cool about it all these days.

BUT dunno what everyone elses point of view is on it x

Susan with numbers

IF it was an open meet where people were fully jenned up on the fact that some who were less..........erm......or more erm.......yeah whatever were going to go then they'd know what to expect and decide whether to go accordingly.

Sod it.

I'm not sure that makes sense.......i'm actually sober but really tired but i hope you get my drift lol xx

Well let's be honest I ain't gonna be difficult to spot! :-)))

I don't care if anyone takes my pic as long as they photoshop out all the spare chins, and make my nose a nice shape, decrease the size of my tum and bum and blot out all the spots and witchy poo hairs...lmao

LOL - like I said Daff - I meet people at meets and don't associate them with their board names - It may not have been you - I'm not a stalker - honest!!
I met a few people at Winchester, Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight and Swindon - eons ago - where you at any of those?

In answer to Susan NO, if there was an organised meet in them terms then no one has the right to say who can or cant go, its a public meet, however if I was having one of my candlelite super little dinner partys and I invited my friends and some one took the huff because they wasnt invited TOUGH....
