Better call it 'a soiree' or some other such pretentious nonsense! Contact Puce for bookings for the urg summer holiday in Aran in the Big Red Bus. I wouldn't want to go anywhere near Puke! |

Oh dear, I hope I haven't offended you, I replied to his post, I'll try to be more careful in future! Alan |

urg meet
"June Hughes" wrote in message ... In message , Anne Jackson writes The message from June Hughes contains these words: Sacha has insulted, verbally battered me and tried to get me thrown out of another ng. My crime was in answering her back. I still don't know whether or not I am one of the two omitted from the urg meet. I suspect the others are Mike from the Isle of Wight, Puce and possible Jenny C, who Sacha accused of condoning something Sacha had accused Puce of (Sacha announced this when I welcomed Jenny to ukfd a few months ago). If that is the case, then there are four, and not two. How come? Is this something else I'm to be left out of? I object, most strongly!! Still don't know whether or not she has excluded me. Have you emailed her to say you are coming? It is what she expects people who are going, to do. Alan |

Not necessarily, Judith. Two people were specifically excluded from the invitation. If you want to make someone feel uncomfortable, that is the way to do it. She could just as well have invited people by email and left it out of urg altogether. That way, those who were excluded didn't have to know about it and those she wanted to attend would. Instead of that, she broadcast it for all to see. Would you like it if it were you who were excluded? It wouldn't bother me, if someone had been so offensive to me as you seem to think Sacha has been to some, I would have killfiled them so I would not be aware of anything they have said. I am getting VERY tired of all this backbiting. Please, all of you, let it rest. Alan -- June Hughes |

Why on earth should she invite by email, it is an urg meet and if certain people have offended her, then it is her right not to invite them. It is a meet of selected urg people, and therefore private. As already said, this is Usenet. I will be having an urg meet and again, there is a person that I would not like to see in my home. I have been to meets where an individual would not be welcome, this is life, we invite into our sitting rooms members of a group and if one or two are excluded, then too bad. If I had insulted anyone the way Sacha has been insulted, then I would be very surprised indeed if I were invited. This is my last word on the subject as all genuine urglers are sick to the teeth of this. Yes, I expect they are. I can't understand why you insist on carrying it on. So, why are you? -- June Hughes |

YOU may be bored with it, I'm just getting into third gear....and if certain people are excluded then it ISN'T a meet, no matter what Sacha might call it! So, if the local Womens Institute adertise a 'meeting' then anyone could go, even us lowly men? Why the hell am I bothering to respond? Alan |

Oh so a 'meet' has to include absolutely everyone? I live and learn. Better call it 'a soiree' or some other such pretentious nonsense! Well you can call it what you like, the rest will continue to refer to it as a 'meet' irrespective of exclusions. Well.....we could have it in the dark, I suppose....... ;-)) The neighbours might wonder what is going on though! Alan |

urg meet
"Sacha" wrote in message . uk... I'm still hoping to have an urg meet here on 7th July with the option of going down to Charlie's nursery on the 8th - people could probably take in the Eden Project that day, too but Charlie will give timings and directions for that! People who want to make it a bit of a holiday could perhaps, go on from Charlie's to Penzance and take the helicopter to Tresco the next day for a day or overnight trip. Please accept my apologies but I will be unable to attend. Following a wonderful cruise in the Caribbean with a great group of people, two shoreside functions have been arranged, the first a BBQ and Picnic in the grounds of one of the cruiser group's home near Swindon on the very day of the urg meet, the other, just to give you all advanced warning, the 1st Annual Dinner Dance of the group with overnight accommodation in a very nice hotel in Coventry. (I know this hotel very well and have used it many times for Reunions). This will be taking place over the weekend of October 4th - 8th and already 45 have booked in!! We do know how to enjoy ourselves. AND on this note, what are the thoughts of the 1st urgler's Annual Dinner Dance on the same lines? Those interested please email me via my site in my sig and PLEASE do NOT be put off by the tirade which Sacha will now put up and do not be drawn in by her aggressive nature and respond to anything she says. Thank you.. Mike -- .................................................. .............. The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association.
