Re: Own Up Time
Ho ho ho!!!!!!!
It was the Hierbas de Mallorca at 2am this morning that proved the final straw...:x
Porto's trousers will tell the tale...and the fact that we nicked all the glasses from the breakfast buffet to drink it from...
Oh, a good night!!!

Re: a good night
There has been some reference recently to “The weekend”.
The weekend for most people is the time for rest and relaxation and some Forum members have done just that last weekend and got together for a chat , and some “Eating and Drinking” together, but not in PP or the old town..
“Own up time” is probably the best topic to post under and it was arranged to comprise some regular visitors to the Chat Room, most of whom have been regulars from the inception of chatting on this Forum.
Doesn’t this sound so boring!:\
It was agreed to hold the meeting in a North West England resort and no not The BIG BRASH ONE!:eek
Now I am not going to say who attended, they can say themselves, some already have owned up, and it would appear have “grassed” me up!>:
Some went for two nights and some for one.
Let me describe the main event in the format of a Minute of “the meeting”.
This was to commence at 7pm on Saturday night in the lounge of a hotel. However it was reported to the meeting at 7pm that one of the “mainstays” had appeared at 6.40pm indicating that they would be late in joining the meeting having been on other business for the day and would join some time later. This was accepted and those present agreed the meeting be adjourned while relocating to the next venue.
A hostelry with more acceptable tariff!:lol
Members and associates plodded through the snow ice and slush.:\
The new venue was reached and with little formality the next business was quickly concluded. Who was to get the first round??
Matters progressed aided by ..ahem more rounds!
Then the belated mainstay appeared. Some more business concluded.ha ha! And off we adjourned again to an Italian Restaurant. Sorry not Spanish but there you are.
At this juncture it must be reported that an associate and a Member had ascertained the location of the restaurant earlier and reported that it appeared to be a single storey building with an intimidating appearance and that customers were seen being taken in dressed in orange boiler suits and manacled a la Guantanamo so the meeting was somewhat apprehensive, but philosophical given the alcohol availability.
So again adjourning we made our way to the place and were warmly welcomed, by the owner, Italian and his team of Italian waiters. Were they from Salford or Warrington or Liverpool, don’t know.:rolleyes
Orders taken, wine orders placed, Red Italians and off we went, all discussing Forum business. And believe that if you will !
Interestingly most attendees were trying their sparse command of Italian on the waiters with some amusement. One Forum member said their Italian vocabulary ran to sixty words. Come on xxxx you are joking! :x
There were even some photographic records made!!! Ha ha ha!!!:x
The bill was settled and the meeting adjourned again , by this time 1am.
Back to the original hotel, oh dear the bar was closed for the night but somehow a member produce a large bottle of Hierbas some of which was spilled. Well at least it was not blood that spilled.:lol
What went on in that final stage of Any Other Business?
Well that’s for you to imagine!:rollin :rollin
Would there be another such meeting?
Yes almost certainly but that’s for you to attend and see and participate!!:rollin :rollin
The meeting was closed shortly after 2am and was voted a success.
PS. Next day most plodded home with the thought “What was that all about?”
PS2. Personally I found it great fun to meet fellow Forumites and their "associates". Putting faces to names and not hitting return or mouse clicking is a lot quicker but there again when you ask "Got a drink xxxx?", it is more costly than in the Room!!:eek

Having read your report I am glad I did not make it, not my scene at all, being Tea Total and having to stay up till 02:00 and miss out on my beauty sleep.
Also not to keen on eating my dinner with knitting needles and wine with the meal what’s up with water, and that Hierbas green stuff, reminds me of an ambulance man’s uniform.
Glad you all had fun, and super report, and I know who was there.
Shhhhhhhhh you know who.

Re: a good night
Porto,
May I be the first to accept the minutes of the meeting, wish all participants the best of luck with any matters arising and wait with baited breath for the date of next meeting.

Re: a good night
Is this a North / South divide?!
Southerners / Londoners raise the flag - or glass - and lets try to work something out !!

Re: a good night
I agree with Debs - I think it was almost an even split between north and south...
And in fact that was why it was so difficult finding a venue that suited everyone.
Roll on the next meet!
Thanks to Porto for providing the minutes... I know it was a tough job, Porto, but someone had to do it

Re: a good night
ok I need to get this straight before I get any more confused.
Down Souff is where and extends to where?
Up Norff it's from where to where?
Odd thing this but I thought the midlands were the Midlands because the were in the mid
So if in the UK Manchester is up norff where is Glasgow?
I thought that the venue that was picked was picked because it was mid-way between everybody >D equidistant, 4 hours drive from London & Edinburgh.
I'm off to bed all this maths and geography is mixing me up:\
Take care.

Re: a good night
Well I'm a Londoner born and bred so anywhere north of London is NORTH! But however you set the borders, it means nothing if we dont all know the venue!!! - Not meant in a nasty way but if we each have a "buddy" to contact if they havent managed to get onto the chat room for some time (guilty as charged!), then Im sure more of us could get together! As long as partners could come too, coz I'm shy!

Re: a good night
Hi Belladonna,
This was the first meet of it's kind (I think) in the UK (although Debs and I try and get together for a coffee as we live quite near each other).
The reason behind the weekend was for people who regularly chat in the room to meet and get to know each other better.
It would be great to have more meets and they don't necessarily have to be for the weekend. It could just be a meal in a restaurant or drink in a pub if members live near enough.
Also, partners are more than welcome and I have to admit it was great to see their bemused looks as we all launched into forum gossip! But I'm sure our partners understood where we were coming from and they were having just as much fun chatting as the regular members. It was great for them to make new friends as well.
