I met a lovely female poster when I was in France. Her name was Raphaelle. I was staying at a chateau with my daughter and partner and invited here and her small daughter in to the private chateau for a look around and afternoon tea.
When I was in Melbourne I met a couple of cool guys from the old Soapbox ( before it became a juvenile cesspit) and we met at a pub for drinks and then went out to dinner in the famous Italian part of Melbourne, Lygon Street. Their names were Myrtleford and Ceramic ( who sadly died suddenly about a year after that and posted on the day he died. I still have kept his name on my friend's listlovely man)
Then there was a really nice guy I had lunch with at the sidewalk café in the pic, called HuggyBearUK in Sydney where he had emigrated with his wife and kids.
I am trying to remember the other one, I know I nearly met a guy in Paris who worked in the porn industry and and lovely gay guy who came out for the Sydney MardiGras. Oh I know that one on that I still chat to him on the food board. I recommended boutique beer places and cool Sydney restautrants. -

Oh, duh. I misunderstood. I was thinking of posters from this board. I don't recognize any of those names because I rarely post on other boards. It certainly helps to be able to travel to other countries.

Yeah I was off topic to a degree, butt anyone giving a history of their meetings also was, because the topic is who you 'would like' to meet, and my list is lng for various reasons.
There are so many people I like and value and others I would like to check out to see if they are as whacky or nasty as they appear on here! -

Some on here have suggested that Cash and I should 'get a room' we argue so much!
It is highly unlikely as I am afraid of the gun thing, and he has wanted me to die a few times and would have to come to Australia and they do not allow guns here for tourists!
He would feel 'naked'!
My husband also has New Zealand relatives and we will be going there in the not too distant future butt seriously, I have no wish to meet an individual as truly and enduringly despicable as DLK.(Aduh) -

I'm undecided, but it would have been more convincing if you had answered any of those Goz trivia questions that I asked you correctly. It has been suggested (by AJ June if I think) that you answered them wrong just to be cute.

Well, I am concocting a scheme to meet a few when I am in the UK in May/June.
Hope you don't mind my asking but where in the UK will you be visiting?

It's just a question of time and not if I will but just a matter of time before I either visit Sydney for pleasure or more likely for permanently living there. Will be great to meet you.

If I made a list of the posters I would like to meet, it would be lengthy and take too much time. But these are probably my current top picks.

I think I hold the record on this board having met with 11 posters, most of whom are no longer here. I've spoken with 4 on the phone, 3 of those I later met. I think Goz might be closing in on me though.
