Uggers - yes, it was Theresa (with an 'h' from Cork)
The 'bloke' has since died - he was a lovely fellow,
Have we met?
Teresa - sorry it was the 'h' that confused me! LOL

I have a problem linking 'real' life with 'cyberspace', don't hold grudges and like looking at the sky.

Naturally, if it was a GR organised meet, then as Hayley said, none of us would have a right to say who goes and who doesn't, and all the other meets are pretty much the same really, all open.

If someone I don't get along with goes to a meet I'm going to, it wouldn't put me off, and vice versa I hope. It wouldn't make any difference to me either way.

But if it was a smaller meet, then it really couldn't be as open, especially if it's round someone's house, it's not fair. I would then expect people to understand that not everyone can be invited, and not to take it as a personal slight against them.

i would love to have peeps round my house, but i think most of you are a long way away, how far do you lot travell?

Surely the best place to meet would be on 'neutral' ground - ie a pub.
Then, as women, we can have the frissance of walking into a pub alone and being sidled up to by strange people muttering 'Are you from GR?' PMSL

Peterborough is the most local to me...but I will travel to London too.

Next time NC yes you can , you can come instead of TW..he he heheh e

Maggie thats the best bit.......I am the empress of drama pleased to meet you...pmsl

Maggie lmao,, my kind of woman lol
xxx

Who's NC?

No Maggie we haven't - I've only ever been to the London meets and didn't go to one til about 4 years ago - I like looking at the sky too:)

sorry CN...I am tired lol

Lol Maggie.... no problem... I just wondered if I was going more senile than I thought, cos I couldn't remember meeting you.... No, I haven't been to any of those, more towards this side.... and my health blip stopped me going anywhere for a while, lol.... but I am getting back on track again, and will start playing the field a bit more ;¬)) lol

*chucks life belt to whassername*

CrunchNutter.... Hayley only has display cutlery, you can't actually use it.... you'll be fine!

*smiles sweetly at Hayley*

Lady Augusta, that sounds revolting, doesn't it, to us? Did I read somewhere that it might have been the basis for the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie?Probably wrong.....

Love

Daff xxx

Confused me for a minute lol.

I am getting the feeling that you don't want to meet me again Hayley ....

It has just occured to me that most of the people who have answered this thread are 'known' to me which brings me back to the original thought. Are others who would like to reply put off by our apparent 'friendships'?

Is it because we 'know each other that we go to meets only with those we know/are friendly with?

Do the friendly threads on GR about meets put newbies off wanting to participate on the meets threads or actually going to them?

forgiven Hayley, well spotted TeresaW , i wasnt going to mention it hahhaha
xxx

Teresa how can you say that I am hurt now.....very hurt

Easily, something about Sue being the only reason you're going to the P'boro meet....and now Crunchy can go instead of me....


I mean, what's a woman supposed to think in the face of such adversity?

*sulks in the corner muttering about not being wanted*

Susan, I think the problem is that the meets tend to be known ones these days - there used to be more in different places organised by different people whereas now they seem to be mostly the same few bigger ones organised by the same people - not a criticism of them obviously - but I suppose they seem like continuations of the previous ones. If someone less well known organised a meet in a different place, it might seem more open and attract new people?

i'm off to bed now, sorry, could one of you pm me with details of meet just incase i cant find it again, lol ya know what im like !
