Its my big "65" Birthday while I am on Holiday next month and I think it would be a great opportunity for us to have a forum get together.

Doreen has kindly invited us to let us meet at O'Jangles on Tuesday 4th October. I will be there from 3pm and on this occasion Carol (my long suffering wife) will open her purse and buy all comers a drink!
:cheers:

:balloon:The more that come the more fun.:balloon:

The Tenerife Forum also celebrates it's 6th birthday on 7th October, so this will be a joint celebration

We will phone you after Stuart, Leslie and the boys have gone home to arrange a chat and a drink.

Can this thread be made a sticky? It will be bumped and bumped over the next few weeks so should get plenty of attention. The other thing that may help would be one of those notices when people log into the forum and have to read a certain page before continuing browsing. Is it worth doing that for this thread?

Does this mean you've changed your mind? ??? :devil: :D

I dunno about one of the 'force to read' notices, as that would only invite people that come online in the next few days, but we could send an email out to all members inviting them if you would like us to :)

Its not only a women's prerogative to have a change of mind.:D

While I am posting this, would it be a good idea to change the heading of this thread to somehow include the T/F anniversary.:idea:

CIM
09-09-2011, 23:51
I think an email would suffice so everyone knows where and when. Are you coming down?
Ad hoc meetings every couple of months seem to be working well. Date and time - turn up or dont. Nice and simple and its effective. The last one Ecky did was well attended and Iīm sure this one will be too.

The amount of the drink that I will buy will depend on my ability to negotiate a price that will meet my wallet!:D

I am sure one day you will be driving along the A78 and will pop in for a wee dram or two, but then you would not be able to continue with your journey....very large wee drams served here.

When you reach the age of 65, you don't want to save money....Spend, Spend, Spend is my philosophy as you cant take it with you.;)

Apart from that, O' Jangles is much much better.:)

Well thanks for that cheery thought.... Git!! :raspberry2:

Me too Max, i wish you all the best, i know what it is like when i was long term ill 10 years ago, you know more of what goes on in the wards than most of the staff!

Wouldnīt wish it on anyone! ;)

Not a lot coming to the meet so far it seems, its a shame, i would come but it coincides with my 40th Birthday which is on the same day as Eckys 65th but i have been told in no uncertain terms by my girlfriend not to make any plans for that week! :)

Hi Ecky Thump,
Having been entertained by many of you since May on this forum without really getting involved the forum has
been very helpful when I have needed any information so it would be great to meet you all at Ecky's birthday bash at O'Jangles on the 4th, it is also my wife's birthday on the 4th so we are over from the 1st till the 14th of October to celebrate it with some nice weather hopefully and if I can persuade my wife to stop sun bathing early we will
see you at 3pm ish.
I have put a maybe on the poll
Thanks
ramnit

Would love to but I have a holiday business which doesn't close until the end of October so can't get away. I could give them to Sal to take to Fuerteventura and she could put them on the ferry - I'm sure someone would get them to you.

I have lozzie down as a blonde for some reason so thought i'd say it twice... Ha Ha!

Been a busy boy last few weeks, thankfully the wedding season is now coming to an end and my semi permanent smile can finally subside !!

Seems a lot nicer on here for some reason recently, can't quite put my finger on it... :-)

It was a fab day, I too missed the food & cake (damn, I love Pixies cakes!!), and it was great to put some faces to names... I was gutted everybody knew exactly who I was when I walked in, I was going to pretend to be somebody else :D Ecky, thank you so much, you are a true sweetheart... Sunspot is a complete nutter, but had me in stitches! Young Golfer & CIM shall now be known as Tweedledee & Tweedledum :rofl: , but stars for hanging back and looking after me until Geoff arrived ;) Vortex, for getting the Kissing bit all wrong and I ended up snogging his ear!! :eek: kgb Karen, who can talk for Britain, and some... :D Anna & Alfredo, so good to see you again after such a long time. And finally meeting my wonderful scrabble buddy, Splodge... :kiss:

Lastly, to Doreen & all the staff for looking after us so well... though I'm still miffed you didn't save me any food & cake! :rofl:

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, but sure Sunspot made up for it... I think she was taking a register :D

Thanks again, I had a great time.... Ecky & Carol, enjoy the rest of your holiday xxx

We too thouroughly enjoyed being part of Ecky's birthday bash. But were luckier than yourself because we did have scrumptious food, a lovely birthday cake and champagne cocktail and a very warm welcome. We are new to the Forum and Tenerife and am staying in Peurto Santiago. Not quite got the hang of the threads yet.
If there is anyone living close by us perhaps we can meet up and have a chat about things. We are usually at the Oasis Swimming Pool in Los Gigantes around 10 o'clock on
Saturday mornings and follow this with a pint of beer at T Jays which is the little bar at the entrance of Los Gigantes Hotel ( 11.30ish). we really hope that someone will take
us up on our offer, Local or not. Tricia and Dennis. And again our thanks to Ecky and Mrs Ecky.

A couple of special thanks to my good friend Chris (Sunspot) who nearly stayed sober and Maxcine who I met for the first time, who is a lovely person and fun to be with.:)

It was good to meet you and it goes to show that how small a world it is, next time I am in Birmingham I will say a big hello to all the old crowd of reprobates that knew us both in business there and who surprisingly left us both with our Kneecaps intact! :wink:

Hi everyone. Sorry it has been so long in posting. Still trying to sort out the internet. Just wanted to say it was lovely to see you all and put faces to names. Apologies to Sunspot - I am sorry I disappointed you by being female, but I hope my charm and wit (and modesty) made up for it.

Canīt wait for the next meet up. I am hoping that I will have the opportunity to have more of a chat.

In WITZEND at the moment making good use of their facilities until I get sorted (so thanks to Tenerife Teddy and Mrs TT.)
