I'm ready for my close up!

Though my mother used to tell me as I was growing up that I have a face for radio!

If that's your picture in your profile you look about 12 I'm jealous

I had a very easy paper round as a kid!

 

[Webzcas]

In all seriousness, any Forum Member who wants 5 minutes of no fame whatsoever on my insignificant YouTube Channel, this is your chance. I can't be missed, I will be wearing the Bristol City Beanie Hat.

Will be handy if the bogs run out of loo paper

I'll keep quiet then being a United fan!

To top it off, during my spell of living in the South West for a number of years I regularly went to see "The Gas" play! C'Mon Rovers!

 

[Tirilej]

This time in exactly a week the meeting will start. Wow

We are a few who will arrive already Monday and have decided to meet up that evening.
If anyone wants to join us then just send me a pm and I'll tell you where and when

 

[Tirilej]

I thought I would bump up this thread once a day in case someone missed my last post and wants to join us

 

[The Dude]

And the band is confirmed as well. The same blokes from last year, and the year before that, and the year before that one...

 

[Jasminebed]

One day.....one day! One year?

Me neither. And lovely as all the CM peeps I have met have been, London in winter is not my dream getaway.

Travelling to the Big Smoke on that Tuesday and subject to the trains running on time I'm looking forward to attending my first Meister Meeting.
Break me in gently!

Ride ‘em til they are wet. We call Toronto Big Smoke here.

I won't be Have it in Canada next time

We are such a big country, I don’t think there is much chance of a locale all of us could meet up at. But come spring, let’s try to pick a casino and day in beautiful south eastern Ontario. I am pretty fond of Casino Rama, and lots of cheap shuttles out of Toronto. Open to Woodbine, Ottawa/Gatineau or Montreal too.

Any takers?

 

[Tirilej]

Oh yes, but it will be a surprise for you. I haven't told the others that you will come either. I thought they might would back out if I did
Don't worry, you won't need to spend the evening alone with me

Mean. I’ll just stay drinking at a pub closer to my hotel then. None of you will appreciate a young un anyhow.

 

[Tirilej]

You can't let me down now...please

We do need some young blood

 

[MaltesePlayer]

Waiting at the airport is such a bore

 

[Tirilej]

Waiting at the airport is such a bore

Dont complain please. It will take me over 5 hours to even get to the airport so that i can start that waiting.

Been at the hotel for 50 min before I went for a pint with my cousin. I’ll stick to one pint and bugger off. Gotta move hotel in the morning.

 

[MaltesePlayer]

Is anyone joining @Tirilej, @dunover and me for a drink tonight?

 

[dionysus]

I will, but alas, it will be from my own living room

 

[PaaskeDenmark]

I would had loved to meet up but its really bad on a monday etc for me due to other work commitments. Or else i would love to join sometimes. This would only happen if i make sure to book holiday or work from home next year

But would def not be boring with me around. I would be happy to drink alcohol, have a good time and of course also join a casino trip in case as well.

Hope you have a great time Boys'N'Girls

 

[KasinoKing]

You'll have to get together with tirilej, there'll be a lens festival.

And you'll have to stand next to these 2 special guests I have just found out are attending the Meister Meet... the best moment of your life...?

KK

 

[L&L-Jan]

Have fun guys !

Also @incrediblestuff - Everything went fine? Also with the hotel?

Kr. Jan

 

[incrediblestuff]

Hey there! Yes the trip, money and hotel all went well, but either the full breakfast or last nights dodgy burger caused me to spent the last 2 hours on the loo

Going to take a nap now, and hope to god i feel better after, or it will be quite a waste of a trip..

 

[bamberfishcake]

Gutted i can't make it now as you all seem like a nice bunch.....at least that dream won't be shattered until the next meeting now.....have fun!

 

[dionysus]

Really hope to make it one year, but in an act of solidarity I'm gonna pop the only beer I have in my fridge

 

[goatwack]

Is the coast clear? We need a mole to morse-code who attended the gig

Then we can slag off the rest

 

[SteveBr]

I was meant to go but the wife caught manflu at the weekend and is unable to look after our feral children. They aren’t really feral, but you’d be hard pushed to tell sometimes.

Calpol and Whisky for the kids? That’ll see you through to the morning

Anybody have a Livestream link ?!?

Have you got bored of Madam Fifi's live stream or ran out of money?

I can imagine you buffering in the corner

 

[Jono777]

Decided to make the effort after all, penalised for my tardiness tho

 

[MaltesePlayer]

Thanks for tonight everyone, especially @Casinomeister!

It was a pleasure finally meeting the community and showing off some fancy socks

Apologies for leaving early but that’s what happens when you’ve an early flight back to Malta!

 

[incrediblestuff]

Here's my view of London this year:

Even though the dodgy burger was the more likely candidate for my lovely experience, i am going to blame the Premier Inn's smashing breakfast, as i was sat on the toilet immediately after...

Safe to say i'm not going to take.my chances tomorrow! Totally gutted as i know CM meet was/is right on my doorstep...im like right above the Hippodrome where i am sure some of you fine folk will end up any minute now...

Also very sorry about Jan's super generous gesture that has now officially and literally gone 'down the drain'. Kind of wish they hadn't picked me now.

Hoping Sara and Pere will upload loads of pics so at least i can see some of the fun..

Greetings from the Premier Inn loo!

 

[mariafbb]

@incrediblestuff so sorry to hear ...


looking forward to pictures ladies and gents

 

[chris87]

Great evening, just got home. Thanks to Bryan as always for arranging and funding the meet.

Chris

 

[L&L-Jan]

@incrediblestuff It is not me to blame, nor the hotel, burger or breakfast.
The problem started when L&L decided to send a member to the meister meeting.

Try to avoid this group at all costs

 

[Siohmy]

Gutted that work meant I couldn’t take the afternoon off to get into London. Only walked through the door of my home in Reading at 7. Will make sure I book the afternoon and following day next time as I’m sure it’s a fun evening. Beer and gambling talk (among other things). What’s not to like!

LOL Jan! The only thing L&L did wrong was picking the weakest stomached guy...
But i really think the fault lies with the Premiers Inn's kitchen staff, which i found out this morning (whilst on my way back, scooping up at least a large coffee, so as to not waste all of the monies spent on the breakfast package) was quite understaffed, judgimg by the drama the single staffmember displayed, complaining to her manager...As someone who spent years working in the gastronomy, specifically in the tourist area, I immediately recognized the issue...i don't even blame her, but i do find it quite typical! When your all alone in a kitchen, providing breakfast for god knows how many guests, it's way too easy to mess up basic hygiene standards...

Of course it should not happen, and most likely wouldnt be an issue for the average joe, but poor sickly me couldnt handle the free bacterium in the menu! Guessing.it was the eggs...

Long story short: don't eat out when you have a weak stomache!

Still doesn't take away anything from the great gesture...and i will somehow find a way to 'pay it back'...

It will probably be during the coming A'dam supershow...

Still on the road, typing this on the train's WiFi, andveryclose to home, so i'll buy a HUGE joint, from the remainder of the spending money, and knock myself out before long

Thanksagainfor the great gesture, and hopefully we'll meet in A'dam!

 

[homerbert]

Hey everyone!

It was first my meister meeting, and for our team too! We was way to shy, tbh, and also arrived yet (London is not the easiest in the world). I'm sorry about that. Trust me, next time we will be among loudest and funniest!

What I really want to admit - I visited a lot of meetings like this etc, but it was best. Seriously, there is no lie and I'm not trying to just post something good.

It was perfect atmosphere, it was perfect people. I never saw SUCH FRIENDLY community and atmosphere. Different people I met when was out to smoke / toilet / just at bar - MEGA FRIENDLY! It's impossible to buy such things, impossible to create. It is just how it should be.

Thank you everyone and @Casinomeister

@Webzcas - not sure, but I guess you was guy with a camera (video), and you showed me a way. THANK YOU!

@dunover - you're just awesome

@Tirilej - I still can't believe I really deserve to have SO MUCH kindness you for me

Thank everyone, it was a lot of pleasure, and can't wait for next one.

P.S.

Music was fantastic.

BR,

V.

Kindness is a word for Tirilej, my english is still not good =/
