As for the question re over 40s, there is a facebook page for Brits in Toronto and it's all about the kiddies, I feel like a geriatric!!!

So do people tend to stay late? Hubby doesn't know from one week to the next what days he is working (dontcha just love hospitality?) and so we might be late-ish getting there... but would love to come...
It will be very strange actually meeting you guys in the flesh so please come dressed as your avatars so I can recognize you all!! lol
Last time I was there we shut it down around 1 am.

Shame really.

I'll bring my moustache though.
Perhaps, in lieu of baguettes, a string or two of onions dangling around the neck of your Breton shirt would be sufficient to recognise you.

I will endeavour to be there. As I can see no good reason why not at this stage, consider it added to the diary

Other silly question but kind of dawned on me... you will no longer have your pseudonyms but will have real names too? Or do we remain incognito?

First names are standard. SchnookoLoly is actually rather hard to say. (Needing to speak the name was not something I thought about when I came up with it, haha!)

Edit: Yes, I agree with JG's post below - real names stay off of here.

Entirely agree although my name is rather obvious!!! When I was living in small town NS somebody from here actually tracked me down and worked out who I was!!! Which is why we had to move to ON!

Haha... Maybe I should change my name so as not to disappoint? (Still keep the pink venus mirror though)

Haha I can think of quite a few users whose names I read incorrectly for ages... the tech guy IBobi is not in fact "I-Bobby", as I thought it was, but it's "IB obi"... as in Internet Brands Obi, and it explains why his avatar is Obi Wan Kenobi...

MarylandNed... is it Maryl And Ned, or is it Maryland Ned? Still not certain of that one.

But I digress.

I always read MarylandNed as Mary and Ned...another is Cardiganscarf...can't remember what her real username is because I can't get past Cardiganscarf.

It would be weird calling me James as in real life I am a woman.

Let us not confuse things.

It is Maryland Ned.

He lives in Maryland.

I used to think it was two people then one day he clarified it.

Or garlic.

It could serve a second purpose and keep Vampire's away.
