if it makes no sense that's because it's NOn-sense.

surely if just the 2 of you were to meet up, it's class as a meet!? the clue is in the name people!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

oh ok so technically 2 people getting together is meeting but come on isn't it nicer if we get 10-12 people.

Bird you seem to spend a lot of time in the Cymru thread. Are you sure you don't want to move here?

Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

depending on where round the corner is from you... my brother's been to one on thursday night before, someplace. he didn't say anything about uni cycle hockey though!! not that i have a unicycle or am able to ride it... if you do go though let us know what it's like from your 'poi'-nt ( oh dear...somebody shoot me...) of view, because i don't think my bro was too impressed, he's stopped going...

Skully, i think Bird is stalking you, that's why he's here... either that or he's just taken a wrong turning somewhere around bristol

Nope! you're both wrong! our accents are silly enough in Cornwall, I just like being nosey! (and its all celtic anyway)

Ghost hun I'm an import too! Although my family did come from Wales I was born in *whispers* england. So there will be no lynchin's.

Christ on a bike, it's like a blookin cardiff explosion in here!! I dunno....

*looks all rememberantly*

*I remember when you wanted a spin in cardiff it was hard work gettin people to play, no one for miles, all feilds as far as the eye could see, jumpers for goalposts...etc etc*

I deffo won't be down for your gathering on the 28th but I will be at some other point soon. Quite soon infact, sometime in March. Ross won't be there for the 28th either cuz I'm stealing him for the weekend mwahaahaaa we have secret things to do....shhhhh....

Let's relight this forum

Dunc please don't tell us what you and Ross get up to...... *shudder* Its bound to involve sheep worship!



Hi Cardiff Caz. Welcome to Hop



What is it with you Cardiff people and putting Cardiff in your screen name? Is it so you don't forget where you live? Oooooo I better change mine to SkullyMiddleOfNowhere.

Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

hmmm... i haven't got cardiff in my screen name, maybe i should add it and we can be like a gang....

so how many poiple have we actually got now then? is that 6? ye gads, it seems, Dunc, that we have indeed progressed past those days of jumper goalposts and uh... stuff. that's the wonder of t'internet i guess...!

matty> am thinking that does sound a lot like the one my bro went to, but i shall check with him on that, maybe he still goes...

that is true.... and generally cardiff would be the place where i'd be trying to get home from.... - yes you're quite right i shall leave it out... unless everyone wants to change their name to enternameherewithin10milesofCardiff so we can have a gang? oh no but wait then skully, you live too far out.... never mind, i'll come up with a fabulous gang name, just you see, we could even have a secret poister salute!
oooh... it's all going a bit enid blyton...

hey, do you guys realise this is now the second longest topic in this thread?! the only longer one being the australians and that's surely because of sheer quantity... we must talk a lot...

Of course you can young Master Step, although it'll have to be Ross who says yes seeing as it's his house an all but I say AYE!

Let's relight this forum

Thats for you Dunc..... just because

Mech hun, please please please come and play with us in Wales!
If Ross can't put you up and you don't mind a train journey back to mine you can stay with me (if you don't mind half renovated houses and cats)...... I hope you're bringing Narr with you!

Dunc tell us a date you lot can come over and I'll try to get something organised.... you may have noticed we welsh spinners aren't really all that good at organisation

well duuuhhh... what on earth else would we want to talk about?? but like skully says, we're all a bit disorganised, so we have to fill the space with something

i'm sure someone told me that the welsh are world renowned for being a bit random, can't see what all that's about meself.

but hey! everyone wants to come now...!

Step (el-nombrie)

*sigh* i just came on to ask whether we're all still up for mini meet this saturday... and then it began to snow and rain simultaneously... sooo... are we?

as for the huger meet that seems to be organically growing here, uh... dates> well i guess it depends when Dunc is coming down, so when might that be mr.?

as for the uh... timetable... Mech, that sounds a little bit too organised for any of us, better ask Jeanie

matty> are you still going to this thursday night thingy? 'cause i might just come along... i'll pm you with my number or summat if you're still going...
