It would be easier to start a new thread for the next meet-up wherever and whoever wish to meet. And of course, there will be loads of them all over the place. Sometimes two or three people, sometimes more. The next big one, wherever that is, will, I'm sure be well flagged up.  :) nondisclosed_email@example.com (N P)Thu, 04 Jan 2007 20:26:28 +0000 Re: Mini Xmas Meet Up Northhttps://btrampsandtrampettesrefugepart2.runboard.com/p21967,from=rss#post21967https://btrampsandtrampettesrefugepart2.runboard.com/p21967,from=rss#post21967Since I just managed to read this thread as far as about 8.15 last night, and then had to go, I spent hours and hours overnight unable to sleep, worrying about you lot. As I am an old bloke who had very little sleep, I feel I have earned the right to post the main thoughts that kept me awake. Time spent with loved ones, whether friends or family, is precious. Cherish the opportunities that you have to get together and, if you can't be at a get-together, cherish the fact that you have so many friends that you can never hope to spend enough time with them in a lifetime. For the record, the biggest meet-up I have ever been to was Dublin in 2003, and there were still some absent friends. The smallest was when I saw Mr. Whisty at a motorway service station for 5 minutes so he could hand over some concert tickets, but the spirit of meet-up was still there. Also for the record, we have all missed out on at least one significant opportunity to get together in our time, whether we called it a meet-up or not. Also for the record, I love you all in an appropriate way, so it's not my intention to upset anyone. I'm just emotionally frazzled and, probably, least said soonest mended, but I had to get this down or I'd be a wreck all day. On a calmer note, please bear in mind that Sat May 5th is on the Bank Holiday weekend, so if anybody does fancy a mini-break in Embra to see BTR, it might be wise to sort out a hotel soonish and to start a new thread. Now, a Happy New Year to you all, I have a job to go to and a desk to sleep at! xxx in case anybody doubts that I love you all, you dafties! P.S. I am sober, naturally, and I am OK, just a little 'greety'.nondisclosed_email@example.com (mayyourhope)Tue, 02 Jan 2007 09:03:41 +0000 Re: Mini Xmas Meet Up Northhttps://btrampsandtrampettesrefugepart2.runboard.com/p21909,from=rss#post21909https://btrampsandtrampettesrefugepart2.runboard.com/p21909,from=rss#post21909..Or just turn up.

So nothing has been cancelled as nothing was definite anyway...are you all keeping up? :p And Jill MOST DEFINITELY has never mentioned anything about it being cancelled...NOT ONCE! The capital letters are for dramatic effect...is it working? And she has MOST DEFINITELY never threatened to beat me up...NOT ONCE!! :p (twice maybe, but not once!!) And it's not just about Jill and Davy not being there...Kathy couldn't make it...nor Sue...and I want any meet-up to include ALL of us cos I would spend most of it greetin' doon the phone to these folk cos I'd be missing them! And after all that can I just say that, no, I wouldn't want to be at any meet without Jill and Davy cos they're two of my best pals in all the world and it just wouldn't be the same without them.nondisclosed_email@example.com (racing scot)Mon, 01 Jan 2007 21:58:58 +0000 Re: Mini Xmas Meet Up Northhttps://btrampsandtrampettesrefugepart2.runboard.com/p21829,from=rss#post21829https://btrampsandtrampettesrefugepart2.runboard.com/p21829,from=rss#post21829My brain hurts after reading your post, John.

No need to defend your honour, Jill! It's funny how we can all read the same posts but interpret them differently. I never thought for a moment that you threatened to beat up our wee Janet! I just figured she got drunk & couldn't imagine planning a meet-up without you & Davy being there so decided to cancel on behalf of Scotland. I think if folks have a chance to get together and have some fun, they should go, no matter who can and can't make it.

If some can't go then some people won't go and if someone said that they won't go 'cause they said they can't go and other people who have said they can go but if those that can't go or won't go because they can't go, may or or not go because a number of people can't go so people who can go won't because of those that are unable to go. Which means...........do I go even though people can't go or won't go because of other people who can't go because of the other people who would like to go but can't.

As you will see in my post above I did not say that this meet up should not go ahead without us. I would never think to do that - ever! Do you all think I would??? Those of you who know me well should know that the thought would never, ever enter my head. It sounds like I am some sort of selfish dictator, and I am sorry that you think I am like that! :( I'm not, believe me!:holy: Janet said that she wouldn't go if we weren't there - her decision, no influence from me whatsoever. No threats either! I promise! She was slightly tiddly (!)when we spoke last night and I am positive she made this post in fun. Like me, she would not offend or hurt anyone.
