Swindon 06/04/2012

Just thought I would drop by and mention the "Meet" we had in Swindon last night.

Firstly a little story behind this so I hope you are sitting comfortably and please switch tour Ipods Off.

OK back in December I had a strange visitation at my front door - It was cold and dark but into the light stepped Big D - First time I had seen him in 18 months - anyway I digress so he stopped in for a coffee and we chatted about all sorts and it cropped up that we had not seen a fair few people in a while and perhaps in 2012 we would organise a get together.

Well a couple of months passed and we met up again and decided that we would have a meet in Swindon "just like the old days". All arranged via Facebook and Text messages etc. Last night was that meet and despite me thinking it would be us and Big D and perhaps one other it turned out to be 9 Scoobies , Big D's Bus and Kens Beemer.

After all the hugs , handshakes , how ya beens and whats new's was over with a vast amount of the Sun Inn's Stacka Burgers was consumed and a lot of catching up was done plus it was decided that this was a lot of fun.........Well it was like the old days as my age , senility and the fact I was a Grandad seemed to be mentioned a lot plus Mr Bocket ( with young Noah who did steal the show ) decided I needed help to go out the door and I was told not to go to far ahead. We had DC who actually , not only came but stayed the whole time lol , Rob and Jamie ( who for some reason shouted across the Car Park "Heel" at me , Dave and Kye plus their partners , a guy from Brize who knew me but I could not remember his name , a couple of people who I had not seen before plus the aforementioned Ken ( you will get back in a Scooby one day - 3 Litre Beemers - pah lol ), Mr & Mrs Bocket plus Noah.

Anyway details of the next "meet" are up on Facebook - however if you dont use that facility then you can get me via Twitter ( Edmondo66) or via Linked In or if you want use the various ways of getting hold of me using my Profile Details on here.

Anyway apologies to those on here who did not know and would liked to have come but the water needed testing first.

Tally ho and its back into exile I go.

Cheers

Eddie
