And actually, steve, for the purpose of 100% verisimilitude, any post of Diane65's should include a disparaging reference to your behaviour, or some suggestion of blame/retribution/threat, should it not?

(Diane65, you do know I am teasing, don't you, because you are so good-natured, but no offence intended, honestly and I shall sacrifice my precious cake vouchers to make amends if I have upset you.)

I'm sure you meant that Diane is just organised -- and thank goodness for that! Heaven knows what would happen to the Manchester contingent without her organisational skills.
Yep your dead right. She also has a good sense of humour and a hard punch!

:bwl: Of course you haven't upset me - I could have pretended to be devastated to get the extra voucher :shifty: and as for MrG saying I'm an imposter :roll:

Damn right I'm scared. Last time we had a tete a tete it seemed like the whole forum fought in your corner against little ol me. As it's getting close to the fmukcon and we're meeting before hand in Glossop I keep getting an image of The Wicker Man in my mind.

Very well, after the hour tour round the universe ....pub meal followed by visit to Glossop Cakes store :)

...you're right, I see everyone faces suddenly lit up!
Hmm, it's a start, Mr G, but you'll have to do better than that - no mention of deals, vouchers, etc, for a start! And what about the exercise to work it off, which Diane65 is always careful to include?
But Beate banned me from talking and healthy outside the weight watchers thread! I give up I am much too boring to emulate Diane's enigmatic personality :)


I can see by the friendly jabs in these posts that you folks are going to be such a great bunch to chill out with come Friday 4th April.

Can I just all alert you to the fact that MrG must be writing this while in the cinema (hopefully still during the adverts to that obscure French film whose name he had already forgotten before he got there!) Tsk tsk.
Otherwise I won't have a word said against my PC saviour!
And I never ban anyone (unless they are spammers of course).

Never mind blaming Beate :nono: You are anything but boring!

We will have a brilliant time and I can hand on heart say that they really are the nicest bunch of people you could hope to meet. o/

Steve and the Wicker Man now that's an idea (Baty he is scared now ;) ) :roll: (I'm too much of a wuss to watch the film).
