Who's met who?

[Nostromo]

I was curious to know how many individual members have actually met each other (relatives and spouses excluded, of course). I mean, we discuss various issues like members of a 'virtual family' (as my wife has labelled us), but in reality know so little of each other. So, let us see if we have actually MET some of our forum friends anytime?

I'll make a start myself. I have worked with Liz Cosgrove and met Martin briefly when he kindly called at the villa to hand over some spare tickets. That's all.

[LiesaAnna]

i have met Lynne (jadehouse,) and Dawn (daybreak) she is Lynnes best friend so met them when we were in florida last Dec 04 have posted photos of us 3 in the gallery!
we're trying to arrange a girlie weekend somewhere in UK for lots of us girlies that chat! so hopefully meeting more this year!!

[linda allen]

I have met Gromit(Neil and Camilla) we have very similar backgrounds in jobs and work for the same company.

[Lynne S]

I see Daybreak all the time, most day's really. You all know that we met Hattie Liesa and her family in December.
Also Calamity Jane (Karen) and her hubby Mark, who have been a great help while we were buying our villa. Mark found us the Lot on Terra Verde!
In Feb we are going to meet Gromit, Neil & Camila,also Sky Louise as we are neighbour's on Terra Verde.

[msnsmile2]

I have met Matt (Floridalover) when I was last out in Florida.

I also feel like I have met Carla as we chat so much on the phone!!!

I also stood next to Fozzie (hes not been on much lately) in Starbucks but only found out it was him afterwards!

[Newhomebuyer]

I met up with Sheila F and her lovely family last September.
I have almost met up with CDV. Next time I hope

What do you mean almost? I'm intrigued.

[floridadreamvilla.co.uk]

We've met a lot of the owners on here or talked to them on the phone at one time or another.

[linda allen]

I have talked to Shenon and Jolliffee quite alot as we have bought villas on the same development.

[Ray&Sarah]

Have met a number of people on here in person and feel like I know others through chatting in the chat room at one time or another.[msnsmile2]

[blott]

I've met quite a few people since 1856... oh, it was only 2002 when the forum started? :) ;)

I don't dare try naming them all in case I leave someone out and offend them though (although I have definitely met CDV Nostromo!) :)

I have a hunch that a young English couple that we shared the front row of the 'Fire' coaster of Duelling Dragons could have been members of this (or some other similar) forum. I could overhear their conversation a bit, but even though we introduced ourselves briefly, I forgot the details soon afterwards in all the excitement.

[E. Cosgrove]

Thanks Liesa, we must meet up one day, visit Brighton fairly often, last time was a couple of days before Christmas. You will have to dm me with you tel no. and I will send you mine.Had half hoped you would be in Florida at the same time as me in Sept. but I see you have had to cancel, such a shame.

[Cruella DeVilla]

We have talked about it time and time again about meeting up in UK, but to be honest apart from Jan (Stabard) I have only been sucessful in catching up with folks in Florida. Maybe when I move to York in May I wil get a chance to catch up with a few people. Especially as my folks live near in Cheshire and quite near Manchester so you never know!

Leisa I think everybody would love to meet you, but could we get a word in edgeways[chatter][chatter]

[wrpac00]

I met with carolmc (Carol) and her hubby Richard twice in the summer. The second time it was Richards 50th party and there were two other forum members there but I have forgotten their user names. One was a US lady called Karen who had a place on the gulf coast and the other was from one of the Channel Islands (I am hopeless at names)[msnembarrased]

[dawn]

I have now met quite a few forum members(Ray and Sarah, Rosie, Blott, Ana, RIS, CDV and some others at Xmas, sorry I'm hopeless remembering everyones names)There are still lots more I would like to meet and get to put faces to names[msnsmile]

[Ana]

From my unreliable memory I've met Esprit, Domster, Dawn, Ray & Sarah, Ravtino, Beechall24, Nicholson, Nina A, Twistpile & Panda. Hopefully I'll be meeting Davy Woods when we head up to Lancaster next week.

Maybe we should just have one big party in the centre of the UK - although that would be no use to those who don't live here [msnscared]

There are lots of people I would like to meet,

Liesa (of course [msnwink]), Julie (Mach2), Fiona, Sally, Sharon, Jan, Mizzy - well all the ladies from the slimming club (and Macka [msnwink])
Ray and Sarah (we seem to like all the same restaurants [msnwink] [msntongue])
CDV - shoes and bags and all [msnwink] [msnwink]

There are just so many lovely people on here [grouphug]

I agree with Liesa - a big party in Florida sounds good [msnwink]
