I know that it has been suggested before, but how about a 'Mega Meet'? EVERYONE would be welcomed. It would be nice to get both 'sides' together. I think that once you have met a person 'face to face' it will be easier to chat on the boards. They may not be the 'Ogre' that you thought they were :) Just last night someone thought that Lynda was posh. I just about fell off my chair! A place could be determined (dab smack in the middle of the UK), a date decided upon, and a venue booked. I would be more than willing to coordinate the event. I have organised 3 reunions with over 300 people attending at each. Of course I will not be able to check out locations in the flesh and will need help there, but everything else CAN be done via the internet (ie catering, room reservations) Maybe Genes would be willing to cover some of the cost? In the long run, maybe it would be beneficial for them. Harmony on the boards. If anyone is interested, I will persue the idea with Genes. If Genes are a 'no go', I'm still willing to take on the challenge. Deb |

Wow, that would be some meet Deb!! Would have to be an all weekender one too, or there would never be time to talk to all you wanted to talk to let alone others you might want to get to know a little. I would be up for it tho. If you arranged it for after next April a lot of us with pensioner's bus passes could use them as by then they would cover the whole of the country for free. This would enable people to afford hotels or b and bs. |

Morning Deb :))) See cos you've met me you know I'm posh don't ya pmsl As for a big met, it was suggested a long time ago, but never got off the ground. To be honest, as I am :) I probably wouldn't be interested, as I don't want to meet some people, too much has been said to me, that was hateful, and never an apology, just brushed under the carpet, when it was proved I was blameless, once bitten etc, etc. If someone can be that nasty without ever meeting you, I wouldn''t give them the time off day in real life either. There are some folk I'd like to meet though, and hopefully will. Also, can you imagine someone having a bigger tiara then me, I just couldn't cope with that lol, lol. If it's arranged I hope you have a great time though. x x |

As long as there's a good air or train link the Scots will try to come! We even went to Liverpool!! Might also be an opportunity for Jenny to show the accumulated Gaynor items as that relay brought a lot of people together. |

Hi Debs A nice idea in theory The thing that strikes me though is that when you look at the scraps it is always the same people and it is only a handful which isnt bad for a site with this many members. I think just avoiding them is the best policy There is no need for scraps at all the wattlers have managed to have thousands of messages without a single problem We should all take a leaf out of there books |

Lynda Sorry But to have a big tiara you have to have a big head lol Give it a rest now this is how trouble starts that disagreement was yesterday. This is twice that you have come here with your inuendos hoping that I will bite and get suspended one on Davids thread and now on here Linda |

Oh my, oh my, and you say it is ME who makes bad feeling Linda. For your information, the reference to the tiara, is that I have met Deb, went to dinner at Maz's house, while she was staying there. As Deb knew about the Gaynor/tiara thing, we used to joke about it, and I went to Maz's house in a tiara (one of my Grandaughters,dressing up ones) and I took another one I had from a meet. When I got to Maz's house, both her & Deb answered the door, and we all had a great LAUGH. I do that most of the time. I then let Deb choose what one of the tiaras she wanted to take back to Canada with her as a momento of a great night. This will be the last time I will explain myself to anyone on here, it is ridiculous, that a night out with friends is questioned. So the comment on tiara, on this thread was a reference to our night in London, nothing to do with your comments Linda, although I did see you commented on the HRH on another thread yesterday. Why on earth do you keep picking on every word I say, and think I am talking about you? If you read your comments to me, who is it that is going on and on, certainly isn't me. You seem as though you look at every word I write, and twist it to what you THINK I am saying. Linda I will tell you now, I have no interest on your thoughts about me. Now if you choose to pick on every word I write, do me a favour, and keep it to yourself, or tell your friends by pm, because for someone who wants 'peace on these boards, you're certainly not going the right way about it. I have ignored references about me over the last few days, but if you think I will not answer because it will make me look bad, then you are mistaken. If anyone accuses me of something, which I have nothing to do with, then I will reply. As for you Sylvia, you brought this thread back after it being off the page. YOU have made everyone see that you are just out to cause trouble. It is obvious you have a hatred of me, as to why I don't know, but it seems it's because you don't like me having an opinion, or like the fact I speak my mind, well I'm not changing, so either get used to me, or stop following me around, it seems you have an obsession with me, and it isn't healthy, and it's getting very boring not just to me, but everyone. Sorry to spoil your thread Deb, but as you know, this hounding has gone on for too long, and I want it sorted. Now you can see why I wouldn't want to go to a big meet lol:)))) |
