All welcome. If anyone wants to bring their wifey/gf/partner, they're always welcome - We do talk about more than just car components and body parts.

Why do I suddenly think of Wedding Crashers? :evilgrin: Be careful about 'eye-fcuking' any hot girlies you spot.
-
One of my favourite films!

One of my favourite films!
....Me too! Very American Rom-Com and Vince Vaughn is brilliant. I also loved him in the movie he did with Jennifer Aniston ( :drool: :love: :drool:) about breaking up.
A very good friend of mine in his 30's who is single tells girlies he's a dolphin trainer and gets away with it! If I'm with him I have to walk off or I'll collapse laughing and give the game away.

Hahaha! One of my friends tells them that he is a "penguin picker-upper" at London Zoo!!!! Then he goes on to explain that when the planes fly over the zoo all the penguins look up to the sky and then fall over, so he has to go round picking them all up! The girls absolutely love it!!! (Aside from the fact that London Zoo doesn't even have penguins I think!
-
^^^^
:signLOL: - Nice one!
London Zoo (Regent's Park) does have a famous (architecturally) Penguin pool. I know - The Crown Commissioners (who own/manage Regent's Park) were a client of mine for a few years and, loving animals, I spent many hours having lunch etc there.

Looking forward to this meet :happy2:

@ Hedge:
Are you attending, Ian?
@ Neo:
Can you bring your compact Leica to show me please, if you come?
We have our usual table for 10-12 but it looks like we'll be about 7 or 8 of us. No problem. I may be offline now until back home after the meet, so see ya'll there and Safe Journeys!

T'was good indeed :D more to say but have to run :( in the middle of some experiments...
-
I'm sorry, I should have let you guys know that I wasn't going to attend.
Just got home from a bad day at work, ready to head back out and then it was pouring with rain, so i just went to bed.
Hope you had a good one :ashamed: :ashamed:

All very mysterious!

All very mysterious!
Almost as mysterious as you :confused:

.
Methinks it's time to start planning the next mystery meet. Mr Jekyll or Mr Hyde?
I like to drink blood on Thursday nights (True Blood), so am thinking of another day of the week. Any big no-no's?
-
^^^^^^^^^ Who is that girl!?!!?
-
^^^^^^^^^ Who is that girl!?!!?
....Difficult to tell - There are several hot girls in True Blood :evilgrin:

It's mysterious as there is no location bit on the left to see where everyone is, that's what I meant. :smiley: Some forums let you put in where you live so people can see where you're from.
Is the meet always at the same place (I see it has a big car park), or does it move about?

Oh lol! I swear we used to have that on the side! It's been at the same place everytime we've held it - i think its quite a central location to us all, apart from RR but he very kindly comes up and organises it :smiley: :smiley:

We have considered moving venue just for a change but it's very relaxed there and the food (and waitresses) are good, so as it ain't broke why mend it!
C'mon, Neo, where's that pic of that cute young waitress from our last meet? :evilgrin: :wink:
Regarding having our home location permanently shown with our avatar etc, for security reasons I would be very against that (I have had to be offered Police protection before in my life!). As it stands, we can individually choose to say where we live in our Profile details or even state in our posts signature.
It really makes a difference to meet and become friends with some of the folks on the forum. So I'm happy to travel when it suits me and the route is a good drive which I enjoy. I just love driving! There are now folks here who I will visit even without a meet - I'm good at scrounging a cuppa!

Yeah it was optional, I just thought it was displayed under our avatar photo too.
Neo, where is this photo!? Your dissertation is finished now isn't it? Nooooooooooooo excuses :grin: :grin:

You can be quite general about, though. I normally only state Wiltshire which is quite a big place.
I'm from the Sarf East originally and have friends and relatives in Ascot.

As far as this forum is concerned, you're either a Hard Northern Barsterd or a Southern Shandy Drinking Nancy Boy.... End of!
