David Matthew Baker Report post Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) I'll be able to stay to around 16:30 so even 12:00 would work for me. Just couldn't do much later and might have to get someone to remind me about the time. 11:00am would be nice though as it means can mingle for a bit longer. I'm sure I can find plenty to do though before most of you arrive if need be. I'm easily pleased and fairly flexible. Here is the list again. To make it easier for people to find. Incase they just go to the last page of posts. Lya of the Nox Mumble Smiley (+ Friend to help her get to meet) Baddad + #1 Son Kathryn + Son (age 10 by the time we meet) Bard MichelleW + Children (age 7 & 2.5) Bagpuss + Partner + Children (3 of them [aged 6, 9 and 13]) Hev Steviegirl (Hev's Mum - so she'd better behave. ) Loulou BuzyLizzie100 Bikergal + Boyfriend Lynden JJ's Mum + Husband (wheel chair user) + Son (age 4) Tally KarenT ? Flora ? Bid ? Zaman - Probably not but still a small chance. Edited May 26, 2007 by David Matthew Baker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frangipani Report post Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Hey I can come too, just found a way, by teleconference. I want to hear your accents its not fair. QUOTE(Frangipani @ May 25 2007, 11:52 AM) I have just sat here reading all your posts and realised I have been talking to you lot, a lot of you have met up at the meet ups and some of you I have face to names because of the baby/ teen photos but I realised when David was talking about accents, you will ALL have accents to me!!! I realise I want to hear your voices or accents. After two years???? I have an idea, but this may sound silly. Perhaps you could send me a quick message to my mobile phone and say hello blah blah blah this is blah blah blah. Otherwise it will be expensive calling Australia and the UK. I want to hear your accents. Does this sound silly I can PM my mobile no. that way you will hear me on the voice mail and after all this time you can say oh thats Frangipani I know it sounds goofy. Especially those I have been chatting to since 05, I feel a bit left out all they way down here Just for fun, is that okay moderators, perhaps some of you especially. You will have to put the country code 61 in but may need to check with the operator about international calls, cant say I ever call overseas these days. Hey, after sleeping on it I realised a way we could do this. When you all get together for the Southern Meet up, could be good, I will PM my mobile number, someone from the group can call me when you are all sitting down together, and feel the time is right for five minutes. One of you call me and say call us now; we are ready to sit for five mins to quickly pass the phone around and say hi this is....blah blah and pass the phone around. Pleeeaaasssseee!!!!! It will be around midnight here the way to work it out is take off two hours off your time then add twelve then you will know the time here we are ahead of you; so if you call Sunday it will be Sunday night here. What do you think? Just 5 - 10 mins its a good opportunity to say hello over there. Please! Edited May 25, 2007 by Frangipani Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tally Report post Posted May 26, 2007 I know what you mean about the accents. I moved from London (though my parents are from Essex) to Devon, and I love hearing London/Essex accents. I even watch Eastenders for the accents. I hope we can call you, or maybe send you a tape. (Do they make tapes any more?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Matthew Baker Report post Posted May 26, 2007 I'm not sure when I'll next be on here as I'm down in Kettering this week for a 5 day TEACCH course. I'll try and catch up on any threads that affect me when I get back. Just thought I'd better let you know or your all be wondering why I have suddenly gone quiet. All the best and I'll talk to you all in about a weeks time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone got an MP3 or minidisc recorder? could all make a tape, whack it onto a CD and post it off... i think the phone thing might be a non-starter. Dunno what international mobile rates are, but i'm guessing quite high and i HATE mobile phones anyway! DMB - enjoy yourself in Kettering. I thought that was a breakfast of kippers and rice??

L&P BD Thanks Baddad, If it isn't too much trouble and not going to be a pain for you all on the day that would be really nice, it would be lovely to actually 'hear' your voices. Maybe make it like a bit of a game each say something and at the end say that was such and such so I can see if I can guess who it is before you tell me who it is. You tend to pick up a bit of a persons accent from the way they phrase words and I already have an idea in my mind what some of you sound like. It would be fun. But again, if its not too much trouble it would be really awesome. I could PM my address, thanks so much. But only if its not going to cause stress. <'> Fxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted June 4, 2007 As not going anywhere for a meal will probably just wear what I do around home. Last two times I've been to meets have dressed up. Normally wear a t-shirt and tracksuite bottoms (adidas) as find them more comfortable. Have always liked my clothes to be soft. I think that is why I like the Ben Shermain shirts some of you have previously seen me in. Especially as they were 2nd hand so had a good few washes first. Just had to check they were from a non-smoking household. That's probably blown any image of fashion sense some of you might have got of me totally out of the water. Often wear T-shirts that only cost �1 each. Latest ones feel a little tight though round the neck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I've always been more of a Biggles fan than Hello, so maybe I'll join you and Ben instead. Jeans and a Tshirt, with a fluffy jumper if the Nor-Westerlies are ablowin' And one of my four pairs of footwear, and that includes my wellies. Even if I had the cash, I'd probably/definitely spend it on books, music, plants or chocolate rather than feminine fripperies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
