Leeds Christmas Meet - 20th November 2009 - 6 pm - Wetherspoons - North Concourse, Leeds City Station

[overdone]

I'm sure if I had gone to Leeds my £200.00 Nokia phone would not have been pickpocketed. All of you that had my mobile number, please note you can't get me on it now and I did not keep another copy of yours, so can you pm me your mobile no's again and I will be able to wish you merry christmas when the time comes.

[hilaryfrances]

I am sorry to hear you have had your phone stolen, thieves have no detterent and have no idea what trouble they cause by taking something.

stoney how is your dad?

[hilaryfrances]

PS sorry I had to leave early and did not say goodbyr to everyone but as you will have seen by my post yesterflubs I had to be up early.

[Spamalot]

HF that is no excuse!!

 

You organised it and should have been there 'til the bitter end... (or at least until the guinness ran out )

 

Now... one or two things I need to mention with regards to culture differences having ventured North of the Watford Gap...

 

Nobody told me that it's only men who wear trousers in Leeds...TBH when I looked for the little girls room I expected a flat cap on the mens door and a headscarf on the ladies

 

also, another difference that you might have warned me about is that one must sit on the floor to eat ones ham and chips when you go up t'north...

 

My sides are still aching after the 'letters after my name' comment and now I'm really disappointed I had mine set aside...

 

(BTW what happened to the drinkls I won after the 'Voddy Chess game'?)

 

'Twas a great night out and I've started saving for the next one... I know where I can lay my hands on a left over Newkie Brown and a bottle of champagne... :D

 

Lovely to meet all you tremendous peeps... didn't get to see any of the photies though.... probably just as well... the mutilated muffin was horrendous enough......

 

Great night out... well worth it... :)

Cos I can..

[hilaryfrances]

YOU WON THE CHESS GAME?

 

 

I thought we were playing draughts! tsk

[ja-de]

 

I was surprised to be there myself Hils, but soooo glad to have had a pass out for the night. 'Twas great to meet one of the old YB family, especially seeing as you got all those letters after your name!! roflmao

 

It was lovely to see you all up 'ere in Leeds, just soooooooo sorry that some didn't or couldn't come!!!

 

 

 

[ja-de]

 

 

 

 

Except for the one of my ***** !!!! Anyway Hunni's are far better than mine!

????

 

 

Jan, sorry to have missed you this morning. Spam and I had to beat a hasty retreat for an appointment with Ronald before getting early(ish) trains home. I thought Rooster was there when I heard Termi's alarm!!

 

We is still parttttttttttying!!!

 

I have to say last night which was not only the best laugh I've had in a very long time, but had some fab company, not least Hunni's lovely Dad. Thanks Jan for your generosity of "spirit":D,

 

A million thanks to all those who were there and made the night so special. It's one I won't forget in a very long time. The true spirit of CAG is alive and kicking, and those banks and DCA's had better not rest on their laurels!!

As usual Smurfee's very accident prone, but it's nothing new there, a very typical CAG meet She fell out of bed first, sent everything flying, then hit her head on the ceiling, GAWD knows how she managed that, 'cos us taller peeps always managed to duck

Note to self, must buy Tills a crash helmet in time for next CAG meet:D

xxxxxxxx

 

PS Message to Ja-de - You really should remember not to wear light trousers next time you go to a CAG meet.

Yep, it's twice I've had something thrown at me, having set off wearing 'White' trousers, & gone home with 'Brownish' stains, yukkkkk . Me thinks I'm gonna stick to black from now on.

Almost missed train, it was all the excitment about bats, carrotts and muffins. lol..

[hilaryfrances]

lol, I thought you were cutting it fine

[Spamalot]

I thought we were playing draughts! tsk

 

Yes you are right!! It was draughts... I still won though... I believe you excelled at the blow football... but that prize was nowhere near as prestigious as the draughts one..

 

I see the 'party animals' have been conspicuous by their abscence since Friday with only ja-de checking in safe and sound...

 

One wonders if that pizza and kebab from the unsavoury looking take away has had an undesired effect!! :shock:

 

Anyhoo... I just wanted to say.... as I forgot at the time......

 

Merry Christmas..

Fancy not saying it at the Christmas meet...... sorry...

[hunni2006]

was my fist CAG meet..... I can see this being the first of many!

 

Had a great time, good company, lots of laughs ( and plenty of drinks!) just sorry I had to dash off earlier than I would have liked..... Next time... I'm staying! lol.

 

Thanks to all btw... my dad had a brilliant time... said he hasn't enjoyed himself so much for years!

 

 

Except for the one of my ***** !!!! Anyway Hunni's are far better than mine! I dread to imagine Caro! lol

Lovely to meet you and your dad Hunni.. .. I must admit the company was brilliant and it was great to put faces to names at last..

 

Meeting the CAG icon **Tilly**, the cagged crusader Consumer dude and the jiggling nappy man was just awe inspiring...

 

It was a wonderful surprise to see Caro there.... we knew the old bat was gonna turn up (but then you can't have everything...) and with Jan, termi and Ja-de as well it turned out to be a really good mix...

 

Shame we never found out what happened to Mr Worried... it was his idea after all!!

 

Can't wait for the next one.. :D

[babybear39]

Great to read you all had a great time

 

Next one, Oxford 12th December yay

[hunni2006]

Meeting the CAG icon **Tilly**, the cagged crusader Consumer dude and the jiggling nappy man was just awe inspiring... that's one way to put it! seriously though, everyone was great, just sorry I had to get off so early.... next time though..... lol

Shame we never found out what happened to Mr Worried... it was his idea after all!! yes, that's an odd one.... I hope he wasn't sat at the other end of the pub all night waiting for us!

 

Can't wait for the next one.. :D Me neither! just busy trying to see if I can squeeze in the Oxford meet aswell.....

Merry Christmas!!!!

[Jan4a]

Thanks to all btw... my dad had a brilliant time... said he hasn't enjoyed himself so much for years!

 

 

I'm glad he enjoyed himself. Did his walking stick turn up or had it been nicked?

 

I'm going to Oxford so might see you there.

 

We do seem to have all forgotten it was a Christmas do! Happy Christmas all.

[hilaryfrances]

hello Hunni your dad is brilliant, he said to us on the qt that he had come with you because he was worried about you meeting peeps you did not know. I cant believe someone pinched his walking stick. Have you rung Wetherspoons to see if it was handed in?

 

Can you tell me were your thread is so I can read it as I meant what I said about coming to court with you.

[hilaryfrances]

thanks Spammy you can have the last post for that

[MilkTrayMan]

Soz for not posting sooner peeps, am currently busy, busy, busy, what with the Supreme Court Hearing decision tomorrow + also sorting work stuff out regarding possible large scale job losses + potential industrial action being taken over safety cut-back issues.

 

...Don't U just hate it when the serious grown up stuff interrupts the jovial banter etc + the reminding to some peeps that they shouldn't believe their own publicity at the sake of the greater good.

 

Anyhow, just a quickie visit to say...

 

If any of the attendees at the Leeds CAG Meet would like copies of all the piccies that were taken on the night, would U please PM me your E-mail addy + I will send them onto U. It will probs take me a day or 2 but U will get them eventually + certainly by the end of the week.

 

I also bring your attention to the following link...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/cag-meets/153218-taking-your-camera-cag.html

...+ trust that peeps can also act discretely if they feel the need to post the piccies elsewhere on the internet.

 

Btw...I never knew that soooo many peeps enjoyed a tipple of ye o'Newcastle Brown??

 

 

[Mr Worried]

HI TO ALL

 

Just thought I'd offer my appologies for not making the meet, considering I was the one that started the thread, then gladly handed it over to Tilley.

 

I was not at home from last Thursday eve, things went a bit pearshaped on the debt front and my OH flipped, so I thought better to give it a miss and grovel from the shed for a few days, till now, I'm back at home so I shall be scouring the forum for the next few days reading up on the threads and posts.

 

I am glad you all had a cracking time, cant wait to see the photos.

 

Cheers

 

Mr W

[Maggie_moo]

Sounds like a good time was had by all, I'm fed up I missed it but never mind, will have to wait for the next one in this area again

 

Are we going to see any pics of the Cag reprobates off the leash and hammered? Oh go on, I could do with a giggle
