Hagen meet up and brunch

Well just thought i would say that we had a great time, no pub quizes but lots of fun.

One quick piccy of Andrea at brunch putting a whole egg in her mouth (still in the shell too), she will go mad when she sees this...

I told you she´s got a big gob...
You should hear her snoring wish I had the egg then to stop her from taking down the remains of the rainforrest.

However we (Andrea and I) had a good time...was nice to meet mike_a, Maaph and Vloid (what ever happened to him???)oh...and Loopy and Hellie. (and everybody else, too many to mention)

Thanks Bombi for organizing a great evening and brunch. shame your hubbie wasn´t there...still maybe next time

Vloid where are youuuuu ???

what did happen to Vloid? did he go dancing again.

Pity we didnt find a light bulb and only an egg...
mind you the conversation after that egg thingy was just weird.

Yep was a great night...Vloid? Did you go back to dance and get lucky?

Overslept in hotel, & just managed to get out before 11AM deadline - then couldn't face the thought of eating
Nice to see you all though.

PS - didn't go dancing again so didn't get lucky :$

What time did you get to bed then Vloid? was good seeing you again, plus seeing Hellie, Andrea and Loopy for the first time. Not forgetting all the others.

So everyone has got home all right then..

Tried to post some piccies but it says they are too big I'm not very good at this piccie posting stuff

Lucky for you we didn't Bully...because I know where that would have gone :excl:

And just for the record I don't snore, that was the radiator making funny noises :doh:

nor is Mickey


So do i as Neil gave us lots of tips

...did i ?

some pics...

1) Here the really impressive official Hagener Guy Fawkes fireworks display ...well at least we made an effort !


2) Then the obligatory group photo ...


3) Veela " Is there really a smoke detector in here " ...shit

well either the smoke detector dont work or there was quite enough smoke

I'm so glad you all had a great time! I really enjoyed it and felt there was such a great feeling of "togetherness"!

I went to bed just after nine yesterday having kept falling asleep while watching Tatort, hubbi was strangly enough doing the same! He hadn't had such a "hard" weekend as me!

In Neil's first picture, spot the person who forgot his coat and whinged all evening!! We have now decided to rename him and call him whinger!

One thing I've forgotten to mention is how I really enjoyed meeting Loopy, Hellie, and Andrea, I'd chatted to them and exchanged pms but finally got to meet them in the flesh and had a great time with them.

Just in case non supporters are wondering why they never read anything about this meet-up before hand, the posts were under the Suppporters forum because we decided to have a Supporters meet-up.

I did not forget my coat, I deliberately left it in the hotel.

I wrote thes very wuickly rto stop other peopls mosanign about dhe thime it takes form e to past. Jappy!??

Ok point taken!

yeah, you still whinged constantly though

It was great meeting all you 'Northerners' for the first time ( and you're really not that scary in real life ) and well worth trip I still have a sore throat from laughing so much, and my eyes are looking slightly bloodshot as well today - definitely a sign of a good weekend.

@Andrea: I missed that demonstration, where's the piccies of you showing us all how to blow...

@Vloid: pathetic excuse, you could have still come and said hello - methinks somebody pulled...

@Neil: erm... concrete enenmas... does that jog your memory...

and artillery shells...


did i miss something?

i still have that piccy of Andrea with the sugar packets...
and a good one of Bombi she has already offered me money not to post it...

...oohh errr yes it does now :$

You weren't even supposed to mention it!!! Just you wait until I get my hands on you!!!

With Bbully here - I think we decided at the time that it should be posted, bribes not accepted.

I think you should post it Bully - just so we can check if it's really that bad! I must of missed something... what did you get up to Bombi?

What do you mean, what did I get up to? Who was the one who made sure you got to your accommodation ok around 3:20am?

will post it after 18:00 then, it is not safe for children to see...

gor blimey, guv, must have missed summat there

What sort of verb is of?

Neil says he has some interesting ones too but won't show them ... He says he'll post them when the time is right!

the time is always right

I thought I was your English teacher, I see I'm redundant!

That pic of Veela is good She was going to put that out in my beer!!

@Maaph: thought you had work to do... if you want to correct my English (yet again!!!) I have a few thesis chapters that need proof-reading!

@Bully: I was impressed with the speed of your reflexes... I've never seen a glass move so fast

yeah and empty...

no dear, I don't want to correct your posting, you do just fine on your own. But if you remember, you and others were picking on my posting abilities (length of time) throughout the weekend, and I just thought I would mention it this once.

It does however make you even more likeable than you already are, because it makes you sound less northern

sounds like you need a geography lesson - the midlands is not the north!

...and I don't think it was your posting abilities I was picking on

I thought I was the one who laughed at how slowly he typed!

@maaph, I thought Loopy was a northerner too so don't worry!

picture of maaph relaxing in the restaurant

No way!!! This is Maaph looking erm...dapper

@Hellie: great minds!

was on the fast train back - ended up watching the numbers after what you said... went to 299 and that was that...

I was sat next to man who was either German or Dutch...his accent was strange. An old bloke that wrote like a doctor and had half a finger missing from his hand. Thought he would tell me what Frankfurt was like, he thought I was a visitor to Germany...silly sod. And and...he nicked my bloody window seat!

What numbers?

You wish!

I forgot to post the pictures last night

What a shame!

wait til tonight though... i have checked my bank account Bombia nd you have not paid me anything? or will hubby give me the money at the van tonight?

The speed of the train Bombi!

Well I'm home everybody. Although I got home yesterday didn't have time to post had so much to do.

It was great to meet you all and I really enjoyed myself.

Didn't realise how unflattering one looks with an egg in their mouth

Glad to hear you got home safely Andrea, enjoyed meeting you.

maybe you should ask mr muscles to tell you what he thinks next time ...

as promised here are a couple more pics... guess who they are

If you think the sunglasses are bad, you should have seen his 'morning after' eyes!

the cool look

Here's one of Neil...hope he won't get cross with me for letting his secret out!
