Hi Debs,

Slightly embaressed that I have not great story or reason behind my username.

My first name is Dave
My last name is Arkless

Whenever I have started a new job my email has always ended up as darkless, so I kind of always use it.

Was good to meet you - hope all goes well with you move.

I look forward to a meet up in Perth - it will be such good fun

Dave

I thought that it was going to be something exotic like you were into black magic or something
Yeh Bundy where were you?

darkless

Haha, yeah if only that were the case. Then I would hav summond up some sort of magic to ensure I was in OZ years ago!!!!!!!

Yeah Bundy where were you?

I asked the same question thining it was an evil villian from a PS2 game or something. Dave tells me that his initials are DNA which would have made an equally good nickname.

What happened to you Debs, I really wanted to have a chat with you and I came looking for you after I met Alice but you were gone

Nice one Dave, we had a brilliant time. It was great to meet you and Helan after our extended emails and Nathan-what a smashing lad, I was really taken with him as were Ryan and Rhys.

What a fun, friendly bunch of people and a really good turn out too, It was good to match names to faces I am really looking forward to the next meet.

You should just be able to squeeze one more in before you go.

Cheers
ACE

Have to agree - everyone was really friendly. We had a good time meeting everyone, though I still can't remember anyone's names!

Particularly nice to meet the 'other halves' who don't usually post, like Mrs EssexNobby (Helen) who is a Brummie like me. Lots of gorgeous kids too, especially yours Ace!

It was very interesting to meet Warren, 'the man behind the Banana Diaries' - except I nearly asked him about the state of his gonads before (luckily)realising that it perhaps wasn't a suitable topic of conversation for a family pub at lunchtime...oops!

Good luck to everyone who is off to Oz soon and I hope we get to meet the rest of you again before too long.

ACE

Thanks Treefrog, it was a good day and I must say I love the story behind you nickname.

All the best
ACE
