writes What ! A meeting of just two people. What a horrible thought if those two bred:-) Well not so unusual. Last Meet I held there were 32 people planned to come and then 26 dropped out within the preceding week! (Broken limbs, collecting relatives, colds, work and probably just lost interest!) We still had a good time and an awful lot of food:) -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

We reckon we did the whole trip in 2 hours and as you know we drive a van, in a half decent car should be quicker! I think so. We get to the heliport in just over 2 hours IIRC from our last trip. Yes if everyone could stop shouting at one another long enough to say whether they are interested it would be helpful :~) Start a new thread, Charlie - it might clarify things for you and Liz. It's still early days for a lot of people to make a firm commitment, so I think we'll both need to give a reminder nearer the time. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

Is a colonel likely to know how the rankers referred to him, behind his back? I doubt it, somehow... ;-) You don't get to be Colonel commanding a Cavalry regiment without a few ideas about what goes on. Naïve is not the word I'd choose for this person. And in any case, the term 'Ruperts' has been around for years and is very well known. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

Obviously anyone hosting a meet on their own property is at liberty to include or exclude anyone they wish. Not to mention the fact that if you can't exclude some people from a meet on your own property then no one would feel happy about holding them! After all it's not a public Meeting in a Park or Gardens which would be something completely different. I didn't know that 'Meet' had a rigid definition! After all (to be pedantic) an Annual General Meeting excludes all but those on a fully paid up Membership List. If people have an objection to a Meeting's venue or Guest List then perhaps another Meeting could be arranged by someone else to include those that feel excluded? or even to exclude those that are at present included? A completely unneccessary comment. Alan -- Martin |

What was it you said about blankets, pot, kettle, black? Oh, but it's Sacha who appears to have an equal dislike of the both of us. Perhaps we're not 'pretentious' enough... G Please, give it a rest. Perhaps you amuse yourself by your rancid witterings, mabye you think you amuse others, in truth you are pathetic and VERY boring. Pogue mo chone! Alas, from your perspective, I will not descend to your level of abuse. But thank you for confirming so clearly that you are pathetic and VERY boring. Don't bother with another insulting reply, I ain't interested in long futile flame wars, especially with someone whose head is so far up their own they could not kiss it if they tried. oops, I did descend to the level I said I wouldn't, I must develop more will power! I rather think it's more 'won't' power that you need...now FOAD, malacca! I don't understand why you are posting this sort of thing, from experience, I know you are very pleasant in the flesh. Alan |
