/First off many, many thanks to Ron for creating the "Forum Meets" section. No spam topics otherwise they will be deleted on sight!

Right KZN has been uber quite of late so I reckon a meet is in order. I would like to do either the paintball or go karting thing again however the floor is open for other suggestions.

So lets throw some dates, time and venues around and get something organized!

yay!

i know this is a long shot but i don't suppose it would be possible to have it during the September holidays (first week in October)...?

october? i was thinking august/september... students

kartgoing/paintball/horse riding/beer drinking... i'm easy... as my better half keeps pointing out....

<edit>
or booze cruise* around the harbour!

admittedly, i haven't priced it...

chances of gear t-shirts to entice more than 3 locals? (i know that scary ron2000 is no longer here to chase them away, but it couldn't hurt...)

*not everything in life involves alcohol... but it should!

lols....it's not my fault that our holiday is now in the beginning of October....

but it sounds cool.... and i will look into it, depending on when it is and if mamma jee will allow me to come down (i will probably have the money by then) then you might just see the Crazy Kitten there...

and please... not a booze cruise! you just lost 2 of the locals right there....

not out fault you missed the one during April....

Who did we loose to the booze cruise? rusty I think we should just plan that one with you, the Goof, jee and myself . We could do a mini meet in August and a KK meet* in October...

*get KK hammered in holiday spirit meet...

Can I vote no to horse riding? My crotch wont love me after that...

Ten pin bowling?

jee won't do the cruise (motion sickness and alcohol do not mix with her... and you will then have to look after her...)...

hmmmmmm.... you and I still need a round in the ring.....
why you gonna hammer me.... i'm not a nail....

Oh that brings forth so many images.

No idea when I am coming down again - but could be around August some time.

Right... Methinks you need to rephrase that...

@ Tribz that would be awesome! Try to plan it better .

hehehehe....
jik! is all i say....

and why do i get the feeling that i am going to miss the CT meet and then while i'm in CT, i'll miss the KZN meet....

what did i do to you people.......

aaahhh while.... but methinks that my weekend might be more awesomer than yours....

I am waiting to hear from the client. I know that the people at the lodge would like me to come down on the weekend of the 6th to photograph their kid's birthday. But it is all up to the client. And as I know the area now - I will come to you this time

Would absolutely love to meet the KZN peeps, No promises though.

that would be awesome....

so just a quick word (i'm playing messenger again)...
jee is alive, just very busy and then too tired in the evenings to open her laptop....
so, she says she will see, depending on what you are doing....
but the September/October one sounds good.... just you might be helping her move house.....

Oh no - she's leaving that gorgeous plantation.

If you peeps would be kind enough to put some possible dates up, I might see my way open to grace you with my presence. Finances permitting of course.

Keen of course! If I can persuade the gf

@Koko were we that bad toward her the last time we met? Or is this another one?

@doo go for it, any new people would be a welcome change from seeing rusty .

@Koko - go without her if she doesn't want to. I know you are in the throws of young love and all, but you are allowed to do things on your own still

Do not listen to her! This sort of advice will lead to headaches and possible termination of all the things you enjoy currently. Rather give her Rohypnol then come to the meet .

Oh shame Anky. You are still an individual - you don't give up yourself when you meet the one. I know how easy it is to lose yourself - but you need to keep your individuality alive. You are a couple (two) not a merged entity

Woman are like the borg...

They assimilate you and when you try to leave they destroy you by making you want them even more...

No we are not.

Yes they are...

Ask your husband if he would survive without you if you left? Answer he would not. A recent case study was done and it was proven. There is even a scientific video which demonstrates this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_Pass

Case closed, point proven...

a man who cannot live without his girl for a day is a wimp....
but a man who can live without her, but chooses not to... is a man...

and i agree with Tribble in that you need to be you, and individual and she needs to be who she is.... and if she doesn't allow you to do things by yourself or with your mates, then she is insecure in herself and in the relationship....

and now it's time to leave the relationship advice (that's for the ward and jee to handle) and get back to the topic at hand....
just a pity that the public holiday in September is on a Saturday (24th)....

but jee also said that you can have a mini meet now and then another one during the holidays....
i most probably wont be coming down anytime soon (got the conference in CT during August and i will be out that whole week/end and the term is long and hectic)....
so it's up to you guys to decide.... but you can let me know if you want help with the admin part...

It is not the woman that assimilates the man - it is the man who chooses to become dependent. You can choose not to you know.
