Met my first CP member face to face.

No, we should probably have a "Got Together" forum as well... :doh:

Me, all the timeNo one reads the get-together forumses. It's no use bragging there, ya know? :rolleyes:

I wondered when this would happen, and looked forward to it because its always fun to meet people one has known by post face to face, its very interesting how they differ from the perceived image one has of them; the written word is such a poor communicator. And so I met up with Chris for a drink in Toronto last week and yes, he isn't at all like I imagined him! Anyway, cheers Chris, it was good to meet up and have a chat, albeit too brief. And I never got to ask you, why did the Queen dissolve the Aus govt in the 70s?
I met a CP member once. When I woke up I was missing a kidney. If I can only remember who I hooked up with... :) Oh yeah, my dad is also on CP!

This really should be posted in the "Get Together" forum. Just saying. :-D
I wasn't aware there was a get together forum until this thread!

Makes me wonder who the current winner of the most CP meets race is today. IIRC the last time it came up @Michael-Martin was high on the list if not at the top of it. Before anyone asks Sean "Mankini" Ewington's claim is disqualified because 99% of the people he claims to've met in person have no recollection of the 24 hours before waking up with their worst brain bleach hangover ever.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Yeah it would be so much fun if we go for a tea someday :)
Nice to meet you, but I thought that female name was pronounced and written as Ruqayya. :laugh: Since you're up for a tea, it would be making sense if you make it (someday)! What do you say?

That should be a short post: "It tasted like tea". :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Sometimes they leave a bad taste. :doh:

Me, all the time -
Not if they use a Neutrimatic Beverage delivery system!
Then it would taste almost - but not entirely - unlike tea. And take you most of the damn game to get hold of...

No it is pronounced and written as Roqia, in my case :)

Actually the tea stall where I used to work got closed cause of lack of space they have and growing number of people who were fan of the tea I made :laugh: SO I fear that would not be possible.

And it would be making a better sense if you make it(someday), as I already have left the tea stall I used to work at :laugh:
