I have just been thinking(hehehe) that it`s about time for another of our famous Melbourne get togethers at George`s Cafe in Croydon.A new year so let`s celebrate with coffee,lunch or a glass of vino..There are a few "newish" Melbournites that would be great to say hi too..perhaps you can come too..
Waiting...patiently for a yay or nay..lol

A smile a hug and it`s nice to meet you (if this is your first meet) add "again" if we have met before..I don`t know why some have to make this meetup sound like it`s the pits...lots of laughs is usually on the agenda!!

Those that have been before know it is not the pits...........those making comment when they dont know what happens, maybe just jealours they are not going.

Anyone that is comming for the first time, only has to look for those two old lovebirds.
Some of us have met Nicnacs in person and know whom to look for, but I don't like to see her burdened with the extra problem of recognising new members. So, here we are. Propably sitting at a table with others, and look out for the glass of red in front of me. ๐
We are eight years older than the photo, but have not changed much.
I have posted this photo before and am not afraid of people seeing what I look like, neither is Peter. We have nothing to hide or any wealth to be murdered for, but we love people and we love to make new friends.
Perhaps I will wear my wedding dress, so everyone will recognise it and come to the right table.
Problem solved? And never mind the Lurkers who don't want to join in, but sit in the back of the room and then post a lot of rubbish and insults on the boards. I feel sorry for anyone who will come to Georges on that day, but not join fellow posters from eBay. Some lifetime friendships have been formed over the Internet. Not everything is gloom and doom or horror. Just look at the photo of two people who have met over the internet.
Love you all, big and small, rich or poor, young or old, if you say;"Hello!" I will embrace you as one of us eBay friends and endeavour to get to know you better.

Too right I was jealous about not being able to attend but I don't think I would have fitted in anyway - different sense of humour, obviously.
How my bit of humour in my post could sound like the pits is not a nice thing to say. And I suspect your response, may have been due to the actions of people at a former meet-up, of which I know nothing.
I hope you all have a nice time with each other.
