Awesome party and a privilege to meet up with a load of people who have travelled to the other side of the planet for all the same reasons we did. Danny, Party Master, host and the man who wants to take my wife out "Teresa" thanks for a fantastic evening and thanks even more for your fantastic "Scouse" sense of humour. Jackie and her school teacher husband who should be on the stage demonstating his skipping talents???, moving to Whitby soon, we will call you and it would be great to catch up. Lee and Dreamfish, hope your dreams come true and send us a message. And last but not least Dee and Paul, thanks Dee for the invitation and Teresa will be in touch soon. Awesome party, fantastic people and we realised how much we missed the British sense of humour...?


Hi Tony & Teresa,

I'm pleased you've joined the forum. It was lovely to meet you both and your son. Hopefully we'll have many more enjoyable evenings with loads of laughs.
I've sent you a PM.

Sorry about the late reply but again BIG thanks to Danny and Donna for the meetup and drinks on Friday night, myself, Kerry, Kieran and little Caitlin throughly enjoyed ourselves and it was great meeting up with such fine people. Though I'm still scratching my head why Wellington was your port of call.

Was an excellent night and those without an excuse for not going should hold there heads in shame. Those with an excuse make sure you make the next.

Poppets, your cheesecake was good enought to kill for and obviously you have life membership to any party (cheesecake must be included).

Looking forward to meeting all again.

Cheers
Dirk

It was something Danny posted a good while ago that made me think of that particular character - can't actually remember what it was now. AND Danny's self-description!

Not at all!
Cartman is more of a cheeky chappie, Phil is a bit sinister from what I gather. Not ever been a 'soapie' so not clued up on Phil. But I have been subjected to many many hours of Southpark by my sons and Steve
My avatar suits me very well also. I am actually a pegasus. That's why I am a mental health nurse - I had the devil's own job trying to get the uniform on for general nursing .

I always thought those mental health nurses were an odd shape when they used to do their paed placement

I always thought it was the trail of horse-shit we left behind us!
And before anyone even thinks of going there...
and the amount of bull-shit we talk!

Helen, having seen the photos, you couldn't live near any of them could you? BOP seems sooo much more civilised ... a much higher class of ex-pat methinks?





Only Joking!!!! You're all gorgeous!
