*waves* to Jola - nice to see you too sweetie.
I wasn't going to this one until the last minute so I missedd the pre-meet and most of the episodes, but I did manage to see the drunken shenanigans afterwards
Teresa - get your leg out from under the hand-dryer and come and have a drink
Yvonne - ever considered a career as a dance instructor?
Milky Nice to meet you, pet - can I interest you in membership to Y's official groupie list?

Everyone else - nice to catch up with you again... hopefully see you again in April

First off a Happy Birthday to those who celebrated their birthdays last night - hope you all had a good time. Sadly, Len missed the Happy Birthday song but then again we were late in arriving (again!).

---

He would have been included if he was there, as would the head of the Spice Bunnies tech team who we had seen earlier that day and arrived at Pages shortly after you. I bolted as soon as it became clear I would be dragged onto stage, but was found hiding round the corner from Pages and dragged back in. (Note to self, next time hide in car and drive off if you see them coming )

---

Vampire Tigger - thanks for sorting out the stuff for Len - he was well chuffed.

---

As a part of the convention furniture, I will be at all the Sector 14, Starfury and Wolf Events conventions through the rest of the year. Let me know if you need a hand later.

Really enjoyed this one. Must try and get to the pre meet all the time in future

*Hugs* to DJ for driving, coming shopping to find me a clean t-shirt after I spilt that revolting malteser vodka down myself, and being a general run around boy

Yvonne, stroppy cow See you in 8 days

Kate, great to see you as always especially when I wasn't expecting you

Silver, sorry for distracting you while you played pool. Have to get my girl to win somehow

Milky, lovely to meet you

Hugs to everyone else: Jola, Len, Maff, Rally & everyone else

Biggest suprise of the night SPIKE had a date with a cute girl. A real life one!!! Sorry for embarressing you Sweetie, but it had to be done <--- Kiss, not eek

Well I was all ready to come and had just half an hour before me and brother were due to leave the house. He came down the stairs and just said "I'm not coming!!" To say I was jacked off would be a complete under statement. I had been looking forward to it for weeks and had even had my first drink of the day (Carling) to get the ball rolling!!

I am still not speaking to my brother who spent the evening he had arranged to spend with me at Nos round his "ex's" house. He can go jump cause next Nos I am either going to ask a friend to come with me or maybe I could arrange to meet up with somebody from here.

Anyway glad to see that you all had a good time.

Great to see everyone else, especially Milky, who looked like he was enjoying his first Nos

Hi all,

Well bits of last night are coming back to me, in case you hadn't noticed I had had a few too many (ssh). And I think I'm turning into a bit of a hug slut. Still, there are worse things to be.

Sorry if I miss anyone out, I'm sure I'll forget someone.

Taz - thanks for the bed. sorry I had to rush off again this morning but I didn't want to wake you, you looked so peaceful.

T & Y, I have definitely decided I've been barking up the wrong tree. We need to find me a new tree now!

T - did u get to snog anyone in the end?

Rally - Umm, nice huggy memories

DJ - Once and for all, DB does not have a small one! Got it!

Jay Jay - great to meet you. Hope I didn't talk your ear off too much.

Silver - sorry for trying to undress you, Yvonne made me do it!

Starfury - cheer up, it may never happen (plus you look cuter when you smile)

! *faints*

Had such a good time!!

Also had a houseful in the end. Unexpected but far from unwelcome.

Sange ... I just love you to pieces *mwah*. We have to get together again really soon. Your 'dirty dancing' is simply the best

Whistler ... The T21 Birthday Boy (and Bean Boy). Glad you liked your cake and pressies, hon. Your face was truly stunning. That is one birthday celebration I will *never* forget

Silver ... The funniest tube ride home I have ever had. The things you did with 'Hannah'. Those poor people! And I will *never* be able to look at Wallace and Gromit in the same light

Milky ... Fabulous to finally meet you, sweetie, and your hairy butt!! You're as mad as the rest of us. You fit in perfectly. And so noble ... allowing that poor, 'terrified of heights' girl to stand behind you on the escalator, then making falling gestures and screaming! What a hoot! (And thanks for the bridie)

Maff ... as restrained with the drinking as ever (he *can* be taught). I almost miss 'The Aftermaff' (almost). But that's the best 27 point turn I've ever witnessed

Picture of Flowers ... A pleasure and a giggle as always. Definitely up for next weekend and we can do it all again

Spike ... You never learn do you? Do *not* try and outwit the 8 year old Nice to meet your friend Leanna. You looked like you were having a great time. And thanks for the help with the washing-up

Vix ... Great to finally meet you. Hope to see you at lots more meets now

Lots of big 'Hi's' to Jola and Len (as always, great to see you two, have a great birthday Len!), Rally (*How* could you stand about in that coat??), Velvetglove (thanks for the help sorting things out), Taz (you wield the meanest knife *ever* ) and everyone else I may have missed.

Thanks also to the barstaff for putting up with us again, even though it was *not* a good day for them. Fully understandable. Rob, you are one major star! Luv ya!

So many memories from such a short time. Thanks to all for making it a great Nos. I can't wait to see piccies (I'll get mine up when they're done).

And thankyou. For the flowers.

One last thing - left behind this time ... Mallrats and Clerks CD's, Blossom PowerPuff Girl, Smallville videos, A Fiver, X-Files tapes, a jacket, Crisps. More to follow when I've checked around. You know what you left. Come and claim them!

Very cool night. A welcome return for the pre-meet too, I've missed those the last couple of months. And I won the raffle again! Woo-hoo!

Big shouts out to everyone who made it a groovy time. I'm too tired to go into a comprehensive list, but anyhoo.

Red - Once again you went above and beyond the call of duty with your hospitality! Great big thanks to you, and also to Abby for the ring!

Hannah - I don't remember seeing you before so I'm guessing you're a newbie. I was quite impressed by your dancing skills, amongst other things. Surprised you weren't cold though.

Whistler - Hope you had a groovy pre-birthday celebration. And it was very decent of you to dance to Steps!

And everyone else: Silver, Maff, Jay Jay, SPIKE, Milky, Sange, Slayerfest 2K, CJL, Nutty Bat, Taz, Rally, Yvonne, Teresa, DJ Billy, Cat, Nemesis, SlayerSlut, VG and lots of other people that I've probably forgotten.

And the only quote I can remember (despite being appointed Official Quotesperson) comes from Silver: That's why I don't drink Bounty's!

Ok been home a few hours now had a bath and ready to remeber (or maybe some of it I shouldn't)

Red ... you are the best, I had a great time we sooooooo have to get together more often Infact just come and live with me

Dino/aka Whistler ... Great to see you again I miss my Dino cuddles and I even got to snuggle up to you on the sofa this time ooooo and sorry for beating you at pool

DJ, I can't believe you got another pic of me in an embarrassing position with Teresa!

Nice to see everyone, especially meet newbie Milky! Don't be a stranger, ya'hear?

Well I had a fantastic night, despite being skint. To everyone who bought me a drink - Thankyou! I'll get them in when I'm working again Btw, was I alone in thinking the barman at the PreMeet was a hottie?
Okay, here comes the essay, in no particular order - except for my girlies being at the top...

Teresa - I'm never telling you any embarrassing secrets ever again!! Give the girl a drink and the gossip just keeps on coming out. By the way, did the pool cue at the PreMeet pay for its "attention" or was it just a freebie to practise for LA? lol

Kate - on Friday night I told you I'd love it if you turned up by surprise and you told me not to hold my breath! I was so pleased you came. As for dance lessons, people should be taught the Macerena before their first meet

DJ Billy - thanks for the Creme Egg wrappers, tuna sandwich, company, door to door service and for only taking one photo of me *breathes sigh of relief*

Silver - sorry for trying to strip you Thanks for the pool, the laughter, the unique Wallace and Gromit puppet display and for not taking the mickey too much at my laughable pool skills.

Rally - one of my fave snuggle bunnies, its always great to see you - DOWNLOAD MSN! I think thats the first time I've seen you without your Inc shaped 'other half'

Milky - I hope you enjoyed your first Nos and I hope it won't be your last. I'm sorry I stripped you... twice , but considering your relatively bald stomach you have an incredibly hairy butt And next time I say "I dont wanna dance" that doesn't mean "please carry me to the dancefloor"! lol

JayJay - I dunno if I should charge or apologise for my behaviour during the 2nd playing of the Macerena

Slayerfest - with or without the hair, you're funny. I didn't think it was possible for the human body to consume that much liquid never mind alcohol!! I'm still scarred from the memory of your belly on the pool table but as a distraction tactic it was highly effective.

SlayerSlut - I've seen you at so many meets, I can't believe this is the first time we managed to say "hi."

Jola - you're far too fit, I wish I could hate you Len - I'm glad you forgave T for cheating on your head. Next Nos rub salt on your noggin to teach her a lesson

Cat - his loss... say it with me "NEXT!" I'll bring you one back from LA if I can fit it in my suitcase

SPIKE - Ok, now I've seen you with a real life woman I'll stop teasing... until at least the end of the week Aren't you glad we got all of the whooping, cheering and joking over with when we saw you walking down the street? lol

Whistler - Happy Birthday (again). Your date seemed very friendly, but less comunicative than SPIKE's

The Scottish Boys: CJL, Milky and Silver - thanks for entertaining T and I with the famous scottish phrases. "Ach aye the noo," "There's joose loose aboot this hoose," and half of AP's Fat B*ast*rds repertoir will all hold special meaning now

And everyone else Red, Sange, Taz, Maff, Nemesis, Picture Of Flowers, VG, Nutty Bat (next time I'll say hi rather than thinking "ooh, there's NB" and staying where I am) and all those I've forgotten thanks to the effects of alcohol, *big hugs* Ooh, also, thanks for the cake... if only all Builder's bums were as tasty

This post was edited for swearing. A list of swearwords hasn't been deviced yet so on the, soon to be formed, list this word might not be including but till then there will be moderated on all swearwords.

And oh my God - Spike!! Your lady friend...... now I've seen it I believe it
