So did MrGlasses :wall: As he was up the hills with some sheep when it came out I applied for one for him but used my address (he asked me to) but as it hadn't arrived I phoned them but they said as we had already had a pass I my address I wasn't entitled to another one!! Luckily some quick thinking on my behalf and I explained that he was my brother but as he lived in a flat he had problems with the post hence used my address :shifty: Luckily they believed this load of tripe (I have no idea if he lives in a flat and he isn't my brother :roll: ) and it arrived today o/ :oops:

Good Luck with the inspection, baty! Substitute the word glass with bottle. :D

Lovely to meet and chat with you too. Barafundle is one of my absolute favourite places on earth but Jeff didn't seem to recall it which then made me think I was becoming unhinged. So thanks for the re-hinging ! ;)

Dear All

Just wanted to say how nice it was to meet all of those that made it to FMUKCON last week. It was great to finally put a face to so many names and to share a love of films with some genuine movie enthusiasts.

A belated Thank you to PrettyxCool, Diane65, Jeanelle and Beate for all their hard work in organising such a fantastic event and to all of you for making my OH and our Baby feel very welcome amongst everyone.

Credit is certainly due to all those that travelled so far to join us including Diane65, Yogi, Steve and Steve9872 (to name just a few). I'm sure we will have to return the gesture at some point and join you up North for a future get together.

Hope to see you all soon at a future screening or at FMUKCON 2: The Return! o/



N

PS Thank you also to everyone who posted lovely comments about my little girl. She says Hi to you all.
