The Core

Crikey - I forgot we that we had so many meetings!

Really hard to pick the best from them - they were all great.

re:  Leona's Wedding
That one sucked though - we drove all that way to meet with Leona, and she spent most of her time poncing round in a fancy dress talking to some other bloke - so bloody inconsiderate

1st and should have been last - Threadwatch meeting in Stanstead
Still can't forget all those irish dancers at the syndk8 meet  one classy hotel
Nottingham was great despite the £100 taxi home 

Just a thought - why don't we hire a room / bar somewhere for a day?

.. a quote from Mr 'Nicebloke'

This changed it from a few mates meeting for a drink to a 'proper meeting'

Credit due NB

heh. You going to phone Brett and invite him?


Threadwatch was my first, I regret never having made the pubcons in what are sometimes described as the good old days, and sometimes as hell on earth  

Best thing on my first (twas in Manchester of course) was the room (!) sharing

>>>remember the swingers
how could you forget that night Rupert

I have been to York but it was only a small group when Drew and his wife was over from the states and they traveled down from Scotland

the memories I will always cherish are:-
1..the excellent restaurants I have dined in, Orlando was steak to die for, Barcelona was just exceptional food, Nottingham the best Japanese restaurant I have eaten in ( hang on a minute its the only Japanese restaurant i have eaten in )
2..DaveN and myself at the Stanstead meeting whilst sat eating our evening meal with tears rolling down our faces laughing at Peter Kay jokes and comments
3..Barcelona, RC was over in Europe and 12 of us met up.....what a weekend, I will never ever forget that
4..spending 2 - 3 hours in a car with 4eyes traveling to various meeting........priceless
5..300 people in the hotel lobby at pubcon 5, the atmosphere was unbelievably friendly and helpful with people sharing ideas and giving advice
6..when buckworks walked into the computer room at the hotel in Orlando and scared me to death with the opening line " right who want to talk about the internet then" I just stood there and froze as I was still wet behind the ears and lacking confidence when it came to discussing web related stuff at that time and especially with someone i had never met before

many other fantastic memories too these are just what came to mind

one thing i must say though even though Brett is not the best liked person on the planet anymore, if it was not for me being a member of webmasterworld I would never of heard of pubcon and not met all the members here and many more elsewhere...so a big thanks to everyone

Mick,

Just because in Bolton Swinging is an every day event,    in Derbyshire it doesn't happen so often. So yes, I remember.

I remember none of them looking very happy either......

but I didn't hang at the door waiting for them to walk through.

L.A., Boston, Orlando, Vegas.  Had a blast every time!
