A lovely day and really nice to meet up with others off the forum. A good time and some humour despite the circumstances of our coming together. Big thank you to Mo for arranging it all and for getting everyone and everything together so well.
The Ram looked nice but a "kids bar" really. SO Noisy!! LOL. The Moorings Evening session in the evening was good, nice comfy sofas and chairs, apart from Si, who was perched up on high on a stool.
Just wanted to add some comments and my thoughts of the weekend.
Considering what us men have in common, various bits in generally the same area, we all seem to have different responses to treatments and the disease. What a pizza, how can anyone formulate a plan to effectively deal with something so random and unpredictable?
I would like to think that I gave a good account of myself when drinking with Si on Saturday afternoon, but I would be kidding no one else but myself. You win again, 2 - 0 so far to you, looking forward to making it the best of 5. I will be ready for you next year young man.
And I will have more games and my Apple ID password sorted so that the twins can play more effectively on my I - phone. Or maybe I will have one go them I - phone pads or pills, or capsules or tablets? Derr, whatever.
The food at the Moorings was excellent even though the lass taking the order had a face like a plank at the gag that was cracked? For those that missed it, I said "I would like a Bacon and Cheese Burger please". She replied "we don't have any bacon". "No problem was my reply, hold the bacon". Her reply was a quizzical look and a silent but mouthed "Uh". So I had to explain to her what "Hold the bacon" meant. And at that a voice from my right pipes up "And he don't want it on slate, he wants it on a plate". Thank you Mo. A request in poetry. ;-) I did forget to add that.
The food was good, full marks to the chef. Hot cheesy burger and a small galvanised pail of chips. At least they weren't arranged like a Jenga Tower!
So good to meet and chat with among others Mr and Mrs Exbus, now their's is a story of survival, and buses, the two of them having been through the C wars several times over. Buses? They met on a bus. Exbus does look a bit like a young Reg Varney. Mrs Exbus does NOT look like Olive!
Chris and Dawn, lovely to meet and chat with you both. Dawn - you are just so lovely, a real star. X Chris you are a very fortunate man, okay, not so fortunate to get PCa but the journey you are going through will be so much more bearable and manageable with Dawn at your side. If you could bottle her attitude and sell it!!!!
Nice to meet up and see a face for TeddyEdward, although we did not get a chance to talk much as I was on the there table. Hopefully that can be put right later on at the next gig?
Paul, YorkHull, really good to chat with you, and others later on, especially at "Session - the 2nd" at the Moorings. I learned from you and Si and I now can begin to understand. Thank you.
NikonSteve, doesn't do casual snaps. PMSL. After we had had a couple of snaps taken, NS stepped in. OMG! We were given instructions on where to stand, how to pose, when to lick our lips, when and how to lick someone else lips with or worth out there consent, such an art form, how to pout for the group photograph, well it was nearly tomorrow! Where did he get all those outfits for our costume changes from? Nice to meet Steve and have a brief chat with him, consisting mostly of how much airbrushing my face and head would need to make me look moderately normal in any photo. Such a bit sshh err.
Is there any where to get a view of the snaps without having to go to "Faecalbook" AKA Facebook? My X lives on there 24/7 and I loathe it with a hatred borne from exasperation and loathing and hatred, so tend not to frequent the vile site.
If I did not meet someone who was at Newark on Saturday, count yourself lucky. I will getcha next time!!!!
