As it happens, I reckon such a result would be kin fantastic!
Having only really known yourself and Emma for a year or so in real terms (outside of usenetland) I can honestly say that you're ideally suited and I'd love to see ancklebiters follow. Look at it this way, they're an ideal means of getting the 101s washed in later years :-)
I guess there's something odd, yet quite nice about the Landie thing being the catalyst for people getting to know each other - it builds a true fraternity, aside of religion and politics, and I'm all the happier for those I've met through the Green Oval. Simon and Dawn are a good example - came up to say 'what the heck is that' (Grumble does that to folk) at a show a few years ago, and have become very valued within our list of people we 'give a shit about'. Yourself and Emma are are ranking it in there too - as, (sadly!) are the other growing bunch of slightly insane idiots, cite Austin, who are becoming a part of the 'unofficial' gatherings (I actually think Austin is totally mad
- prolly why I have such a soft spot for him!).
Members of our true family do not need to be genetically related :-)
I really appreciate all the effort you put into the gathering last weekend - it really was a quite smashing 'do' and so good to meet old
- and especially in the case of Martin and Lynn, 'new' members of the fraternity (all 4 of them!).
Go on, start bookmarking Mothercare - you know it makes sense. Our children are the ones who stop us going too eccentric in later years you know! :-)
Best set a date for next year soonish, so we can get a few more of the regulars to book leave well in advance...
