To all my fellow Brits that attended the meet!

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **on:** April 19, 2009, 10:03:36 PM

I'd just like to say a very big thank you to everyone who attended today

Not only was the company excellent, but I felt completly safe leaving my sharp n shiney all over the place in the sure and certain knowledge that they'd be safe as houses

Thanks for restoring a bit of my faith in human nature

So.....end of August or early September.......

Come on people we need to start planning

Seriously, good show on all that came (no pun intended)

Just shows what a fun time a bunch of tugboats can have with a shared interest

Benner · **Reply #2 on:** April 19, 2009, 10:06:25 PM

+1 on that. Totally trustworthy group.

Roadie · **Reply #3 on:** April 19, 2009, 10:09:42 PM

I don't know i think some one nicked my Sebenza.... a small plain one....very nice knife.....it's mine.... honestly.....

Nah! Top bunch of people

nuphoria · **Reply #4 on:** April 20, 2009, 01:37:12 AM

I felt exactly the same, not that I brought much worth nicking (unless you include the wife).

It was great though and August would probably be warmer. Works for us anyway.

Benner · **Reply #5 on:** April 20, 2009, 01:13:24 PM

I'll sadly have to miss the next one if it's later this year, so Neil better go find a mini Benner to watch from the post at the next one.

Neil · **Reply #6 on:** April 20, 2009, 01:21:43 PM

A MiniBen that could be a challenge

My thanks to you all as well, was fun

Having never "met" anyone before it was great to find that everybody was exactly as I expected them to be. It would be very easy to have an internet persona that has nothing to do with the real you. Happily everyone was great and I know, with total confidence, that all my gear was safe and was put back after being drooled on and fondled.

The one problem is that I'm now hearing "voices" when reading posts.

Like a cat with a ball of wool.

It was a bit easy for him wasn't it?

I'll probably be in the same boat, as he's my Squire $:-\$

Unless I can raise money for a new motorbike hint hint

Or how about a more southern meet up

nuphoria · **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2009, 04:09:41 PM

It wouldn't be the same without you two - to the south it is
I think I'm still allowed down there

You may have to pass through some anti troll measures, but as Lord of the realm, I'll see what I can do

Roadie · **Reply #17 on:** April 20, 2009, 05:33:55 PM

There's always the train

You may not be able to bring as much but you'll still get there

I have checked, and it would cost a fortune, and I'd need to change trains 4 -5 times

If you hunt around there are some great deals on tickets so long as you book well in advance. I got four returns to London (incl. tube zone 2) for £32 the other week. Two adults two childs.

Maybe I'll have a look nearer the time then

I'd just hate to leave Ben (or anyone else) out of it $:-\$

Not that big, but I was thinking about kicking the family out there for the night and us having the house.

And will you take all the fuses like Nick did
