Porty · Post by **Porty** » 08 Dec 2006, 18:26

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 18:37

Maybe you have come across one of us "unknowns" and you just don't know it?? I know I wouldn't have any idea who anyone is.

I've met almost all your top list Porty plus xxxx and Rathbone from your yet-to-meet.

Have had seanie and David Connelly pointed out to me.

Have never met ali or Cleopas.

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 18:58

How come my name always ends up at the bottom or last on these lists?? Hmmm??

I assure you ... I am NOT Ali!!! No matter how much Mr Hatstand slings that accusation! I'm sure Ali wouldn't want to be equated with me either!

Is it so necessary to meet up with everyone on the forum?? Is it a condition??

Not at all. I'm was just ruminating on how POL has brought together people who have not met or conversed. Its pretty cool.

OK, I'd like to see you an Ali at the christmas night out, appearing at the same time! I thought you wouldn't, or is it couldn't.

Izzie · Post by **Izzie** » 08 Dec 2006, 19:06

I have only met Marya

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 08 Dec 2006, 19:57

I know quite a few now, but I also see quite a few that don't know who I am although I know who they are

Knew who Porty was for ages before we finally spoke to each other. I could spladoosh several people but am too shy to do so.
Even if I don't know some people personally, I really enjoy our little chats on here.

We have a lot in common Teddygirl!!!!

Probably passed a few porty onliners without knowing it when Black Mamba and I have visited!!
Heard that the antique fair has been cancelled this weekend.

That's saved Mr. Arachnid some money!!!!

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 08 Dec 2006, 20:29

I've met a few POLers but I suspect there are more I'd recognise from prom life.

So far I've met (in order of appearance):

Denise
Skeely
ECM (and Ali on the phone if that counts)
Sandra and Bearcub
Granty
Marya and Poppy briefly at the Hogmany street party, and there were others but that night is a little hazy..
Bob Jefferson

So I've got *lots* of spladooshing to look forward to

Hey, Arachnid, I didn't know the fair had been cancelled again,I would have been away out there tomorrow not knowing. Thanks for mentioning it even though I'm fair put out

I was going with a couple of friends so we're still going to go to Dobbies where we usually go on the way back. We were looking forward to our day out so have to go somewhere.

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:12

It was one of the customers that Mr. Arachnid delivers to( he's a part time postie) who told him, so presume it's right enough, possibly not enough sellers!

Hope you have a good day anyway!

Turns out we wouldn't have been going anyway as hubby's going into the e.r.i. on Wednesday for a new hip, so got things to do before then!!!

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:23

It's right enough, I phoned up and got a recorded message. It's already been cancelled due to a clash with Newark, but when we went last month, they had a sign up saying it was on again but no doubt not enough stall holders going due to the cock up.

Hope hip op goes well for Mr Arachnid.

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 08 Dec 2006, 23:45

You have met Bruce (who started the "getting bagged" thread as a result of your first encounter), dccairns, stephen "hawkeye" hawkins, tom nimmo, Nicky, Pal of Portys Pals Pal; and there are bound to be more. I forgot Mate Of Marya. and Jackie Brock I added Homer for good measure.

Don't fret. You are a relative newbie. I only met teddygirl for the first time two weeks ago and in any case you probably "know" more people than you are aware of,

I highlighted Nelson and Jackson because ... well ... aren't they one and the same. The posts I've read tend to confirm this.

Meanwhile, I see I'm at the BOTTOM of yet another listing. Where O where am I going wrong, O Great God of Forums??
