Some of us already know about this, but it's becoming increasingly popular we thought we'd open it up to every forumite!

It's the next iSketch Forum Meet! :biggrin:

Waltham Abbey, Essex
Just off junction 26 of the M25

Saturday 19 May 2007


More details will be posted within the next day or so but, in the meantime, if you are interested then please pm me and I'll give you more details.

I will need to know how many will be going and if you'd be interested in ten pin bowling during the afternoon. Oh, if you are coming, you WILL be interested in it!!

Wowzers... that's a bit short notice!
*sulks*

Nothing like spur of the moment thing!! It's three weeks to go yet!!

I love a bit of spontaneity as much as the next fella... except when it means I miss out on a day of beer, bowling and bebauchery. hehe

Wowzers... that's a bit short notice!

*sulks*


Its only one night, ill exspect you there kilty.
Dont let us down again lol:razz:

Piggie, excuse my ignorance, but when was bowling decided to be during the afternoon? .. I thought it would be during the evening like at Henley. Nobody tells me anything anymore, it's not like the mini-meet was partly my idea is it!! :razz:

/me will await further details of this weekend of debauchery with interest .. and a certain level of trepidation

Fen, dont you get it ?.
Your a man you lol, women do the organisation haha.
:eek:

Waltham Abbey, is not to far from my home town, I best make the effort and show myself.

Re: bowling, the nearest bowling alleys are about a 20 minute drive away, there used to be 1 at David Lloyd center Enfield but it has been turned into a squash/tennis courts now.

I know this area very well so please pm me if you need info.

I cant wait for the meet, hopefully a few will turn up

I'm sorry but I can't make it :cry: I have a wedding that day. I haven't been to Waltham Abbey for a few years now and it would've been so great to be able to go. Hope you all have a really great time. I know you will :biggrin: xxxxxxx

As It is cup final day on the 19th, Mr jewels will be going via Waltham Abbey to meet some of this friends to watch the match, so I may get him to drop me off, thus although he already knows Tuppence and has met fruity, would be nice for him to meet the rest of you.
Quite a few isketch players live not to far from here so a few more might pop along, also our very own msnerdinator and AJ aren't a million miles away.

Looking forward ( I think) to meeting piggie and fairynuff, and seeing the regulars again whom I have already met.

edit: aww facey, well if the wedding is called off, please join us.

Sorry but I have bad news for you guys..... I JUST BOOKED!!! See you there xx

Fairy is sooo excited about meeting you nutters!!! Who knows, I might even piddle some glitter I'm so excited!

Quite a few isketch players live not to far from here so a few more might pop along, also our very own msnerdinator and AJ aren't a million miles away.

/me moves to Mars, heh
Yeah, me and AJ aren't too far at all from the meet. Sadly, I won't be making it though. It would have been nice to meet you guys, but trust me, you won't want us there.... especially when it comes to the visual aspects.. :razz:
/me snickers

Sadly, I won't be making it though. It would have been nice to meet you guys, but trust me, you won't want us there.... especially when it comes to the visual aspects.. :razz:
* MsNerdinator;78929 snickers


aww msnerdinator, don't worry our visual aspects aren't great either, plus a few beers soon sorts that out, Please think about it:razz:

edit: for fear of slaps, when I say our visual aspects, our = my.

Oh nerdy and AJ yes please consider it, as jewels said as visual aspects go, you would be kinder on the eyes than some of us lol:eek:

You tend to find that when you get a group of isketchers together... once they start chatting no-one really thinks about what anyone else looks like anyway.. after all... it wasn't because of what we look like we all want to meet, it's because of who we are and what we've meant to each other.

Also.. picking on appearance tends to be something done by people who have no confidence in themselves... in order to make them feel better. They're usually not up to much if they feel the urge to needlessly put people down. If I see someone do that, I keep my distance, they usually have their head up their bottom, lol. I'm sure there's no-one who would do that... not without being beaten about the head with my XXL 'I beat Anorexia' t-shirt. :razz:

/me hugs Nerdy tightly and grins.. 'You're only hiding 'cause you know we'd all be jealous' :smile:

* Buffers;78941 hugs Nerdy tightly and grins.. 'You're only hiding 'cause you know we'd all be jealous' :smile:

That 'hiding' comment has a double meaning, heh.
/me winks at Buffs..
And I absolutely agree with everything you've said, :) (well, minus the comment above, lol!) You know me, and I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from too.. ;)
/me hugs Buffs back.. and bestows her a kissy :P
Hmm.. jewels has now blackmailed me. I need to work around it. :twisted:

Ha ha buffers, well said.
I have to agree, we have made friends with each others personalities,Not our looks.
I see everyone as equal human beings, and i always will.
I love all of you isketchers, you have become a big part of my free ME ME ME time.:razz:

Waltham Abbey Meet Itinerary

3.30pm onwards Meet at The Baker's Arms (http://www.pub-explorer.com/essex/pub/bakersarmswalthamabbey.htm). Waltham Abbey.

7pm Bowling at Firstbowl (http://www.locallife.co.uk/harlowepping/bowlingcentres3.asp) in Harlow. There will be bowling on 2 lanes.. let us know if you can if you're planning to stop by and play! There'll be a bowling tourny of sorts with the 5 highest scorers in a final, this of course depends on your pocket and your enthusiasm, if you just want to watch and chat, that's great, but let us know so we can adjust the booking to suit. :biggrin: There is a bit of travel to the alley, but people have kindly offered to help give lifts etc. So hopefully we should all be okay.

9pm (approx) Back to Waltham Abbey, and to what I have been reliably informed is somewhat of a pub crawl heaven...for those who fancy a bit of a tipple... I'm sure that no iSketcher I know would ever drink like that though. :razz:

These are the only fixtures... the rest is go as you please with whom you please (in a manner of speaking lol).

oh and,

/me hugs Tiggs back.. shame you can't make it xx

Me and vodka_babe will see you all there, bowling yayyyy.
I dont know about being in the pub for lunchtime though. more like 4pm.
I dont want to be zozzled at bowling, not again.
Cant wait to meet some of you first timers, and looking foward to seeing all the old crowd.
:razz:

Oh my! Pub at noon! I don't know if that's a good idea for me lol... be sizzled for 5pm! Will tag along though and be sensible and have soft drinks (for a while!). Don't wanna miss out on pub grub mmmm.

And Cherry, please be gentle with me, it's my first meet, and I might need looking after!

I dont know about being in the pub for lunchtime though. more like 4pm.
I dont want to be zozzled at bowling, not again.:razz:

I've heard that pubs now have "soft drinks" to purchase!! I can recommend J2O!! But that's a great idea, Cherry, no zozzled meeters at bowling but then again that lessens my chances of being first!

However, if you're gonna start at 4pm then perhaps I'll still be in with a chance!

Me and vodka_babe will see you all there, bowling yayyyy.

please be gentle with me, it's my first meet, and I might need looking after!


Oh dear oh dear oh dear , I'm going to have my hands full with you lot, plus I have to look after tuppence aswell.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear , I'm going to have my hands full with you lot, plus I have to look after tuppence aswell.

hmmm probably the other way round, I would say!

If people are happy with just a day/night out on the drink at Waltham Abbey, can people let us know so that we can change the bowling booking? Thanks :smile:

We tried to keep it as relaxed as possible so that people can mainly do their own thing. Bear in mind though, that people who haven't been drinking during the day, or are not drinking at all, may not want to go into a pub full of drunk people later and everyone needs to be considered.

Some of you see each other lots, there are some who have never met, or rarely get the chance to meet. There are some activities we planned that work very well on the soberness-impaired :razz:so I'm looking forward to being sober amongst you lot. :twisted: lol

/me snuggles down between Mr & Mrs jewels

Mr Jewels can always bunk in with me!!!

This is a message to all the pee-heads. I am a very strict school teacher type of b1tch and I have a lovely game planned for you all. However, it does require you to be partially merry but not paralytic (or even paralysed!) so please keep this in mind because I WILL throw a tantrum if you don't all join in with my game AND enjoy it thoroughly!!

Personally, I want to be able to remember the day/evening and have a laugh about it on the forum afterwards and make all those boring old farts that didn't come envious!!

Ha ha buffers, well said.

I got asked my age buying a DVD yesterday (No... it wasn't THAT sort of DVD. Just a regular one). And I got asked for ID when buying some ciggies - even though I was buying petrol at the same time... :rolleyes:

I think this classified me as a boring old fart. Oh well... guess I'll just go off and talk about how things were in my day and grumble about the cost of fresh vegetables these days. :smile:

I got asked my age buying a DVD yesterday (No... it wasn't THAT sort of DVD. Just a regular one). And I got asked for ID when buying some ciggies - even though I was buying petrol at the same time... :rolleyes:
You know the simple answer to that?
Don't attempt to buy ciggies in the first place.

(no, I'm not suggesting you steal them either)

Oooh ooh tell me, what is it?

If I told you, I'd have to kill you! However, if you watch this space on the evening on Sunday 20 May, you might find out what it is then and how people got on with it!

Of course, if you were over 18 and attending the Meet then you'd find out what it is a lot sooner!!
:twisted:

Yes, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I am not over 18!
I swear I won't tell anyone!

I'm good at keeping secrets, honest!

sure seems to be alot of interest in this meet.

As a non-drinker who is dreading being stuck with a bunch of p***ed up isketchers again (I still quake at the memory of Henley), I might come and sit with you and nurse my Purdey's, or whatever overpriced softdrink the establishment sells. It'd be great if you could make it, Facey.

As to you, Piggie, I shall not be getting 'merry', I shall remain the miserable so-and-so I always am and I dare you to try to make me smile:razz:

So you've been to an iSketch meet before then?

Wow a game, i love games lol.Cherry cant wait:razz: .
Although i wont drink raw egg, do a yard of nasty ale, or go bottomless lol.
Topless yes ok ill do that, ill take my hat off:eek:

Pray, what is this game that's so worth me not going to a wedding and driving 1 1/2 hours for?

Right.. change of plan.. the itinerary has been altered. The reason why is that the change of venue is closer to the place a lot of people are staying, and some folk wont be getting there 'til later. :biggrin:

Thank you to people who have offered lifts to people regarding the bowling... you know who you are. xxx

Aren't those people just adorable! I was so looking forward to a convoy of 15 cars travelling to the bowling but I suppose we do have to think of the environment!

Please can I not travel with Cherry though cos she drives like a mad woman and I've heard she has terrible attacks of road rage! I couldn't believe that story she was telling me about the knife and phallus! :biggrin:

Pray, what is this game that's so worth me not going to a wedding and driving 1 1/2 hours for?

I'm sorry but I can't reveal the game before the Meet because forewarned is forearmed!

You can rest assured that I would never ask anybody to do what I'm not prepared to do myself! So there will be no raw eggs or yards of ale! It's a team game which I enjoy at family get-togethers! So there, it can't be that bad! I do come from a decent family!!

Oooooh it's just reminded me of another game too!! Oh this is gonna be SO exiciting!!

/me wonders who's going to provide the music for Pass the Parcel

Lol roll on the meet, its promising to be the best one yet

Hold on where are we meeting now then ?????

Right.. change of plan.. the itinerary has been altered.

At this rate I think I'll just stay at home. lol

I think I shall take a notebook and jot down all the happenings throughout the day and evening, just so we don't forget anything and also so that I can get quotes word for word - well, I wouldn't have the ability for screenies, will I?!! Heaven forbid that I quote one word incorrectly!

Perhaps we could all start saving now and have an Australia meet. Shall we schedule it for 2020?!! :biggrin: We could have it on my brother's place down south; he'll not notice us!!

Any one have any objections if I come in at some point to meet??

That would be great, like me you're not that far away so makes sense to pop along, will be nice to see you.

Oh yes do pop in rabbit, the more the better.
Im sure everyone wants to meet as many sketchers as they can.
Will be great to see you hun.:razz: :smile: :biggrin:

Oooh rabbitrun, do you use that name on iSketch? I don't think I've come across you yet! Tell us all about yourself! Or will it be obvious when you walk in, you'll have a pair of rabbit's ears on?!!

I was only thinking the other day that it would be nice to have some people who I don't know there! Cos I get bored of the same old cronies day in, day out!

Well it's certain, FairyNuff will be attending the meet!! Think I best start buying the vodka in now, don't wanna run out. Oh and the 43 bags of crisps for me and Piggie.

I thought it was 45 bags; 22 for me and 23 for you but you'd share your last bag!

And how many pairs of shoes will people be taking? :biggrin: Hey Nuff, how many?!!!

Local info, there is also another pub nearby The Plough ( food nice and reasonable prices) Also for any football fans, Teddy Sherringham's house is only about 1/2 a mile away ( happy to give guided tours, but only of outside of his house, not inside )

He'll be off playing football that day so surely we can get a view of the inside too! After all, he won't have any WAGs in there! Perhaps we should invite him to the Meet or bowling!

As for the Plough, I found this review .... http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub3235.html
Cherry should feel at home as "a fair display of Sovereign rings and large hooped earrings can often be seen". :biggrin:

Anyway ....... 9 sleeps to go!

As not everyone coming to this meet a) reads this forum all the time or b) Belongs to the same group of friends or lives in the area, I'll just remind everyone of the arrangements, and then anyone wishing to go their separate ways afterwards can.

The original ischedule is HERE (http://www.isketchforum.net/showpost.php?p=79054&postcount=21)

Thankies :biggrin:

I am not prepared to divulge how many pairs of shoes I will be taking! I do feel sorry for Peanut though, I doubt there will be any room left in the car boot for his stuff! Backpack for Mr P I reckon.

LOL... I'm taking two pairs.... maybe one. I hope we're not gonna wear the same undies Nuffs... I'd hate for our outfits to clash during Piggie's games...

Well, just dont wear red, cos I'm playing it safe, if ya know what I mean. Go for black Buffs... hides any 'accidents' you may have whilst drinking vodka, and laughing at Piggie's silly accent!

Nah, u don't get Tena's in black :twisted:

It doens't look like I'm going to be able to make it, even for a little bit. The wedding I'm going to doesn't start till 3 so goodness only knows what time it's finishing :sad:

You all have a good time for me :smile:
xx

I do believe that Bodyform were doing black ones at one point. They do the thong shapes too!!

Listen Facey, when you get to that wedding just have a quick word with the vicar and tell them that you have somewhere to be fairly soon and could they cut out the slushy bit and just do the bit which is required legally!

Alternatively, you'll have to contact somebody on your way back from the wedding to see if we're still up or just pure old light-weights! Maybe you could join the midnight feast!

As not everyone coming to this meet a) reads this forum all the time or b) Belongs to the same group of friends

Here are Essex girl jokes.

http://www.isketchforum.net/showpost.php?p=80601&postcount=172


edit: I really love this one....Q: What's the mating call of the Essex girl?
A: "I'm *sooo* drunk!"

edit: now that leggings are back in fashion, tena's might show a VPL

Newsflash - It seems that the phenomenon known as wearing leggings with a skirt has also attempted to be back in fashion. All I have to say on that is - PLEASE - make your mind up it's one or the other ladies.

Oh and whoever the nasty bugger was who told the young lady I saw walking along the street today that she looked good in a mini-skirt with a midriff top needs a bloody good slapping. Poor girl even had her g-string showing - but it looked like a bit of old sailor's rope......

So when's the next meet in Australia and who's organising it?

LOL BM, in my experience, it is usually the person who asks the question that gets the responsibility!
Seriously though, I have been asking around the aussies I know who would be interested, and m2g and I were going to see what we could come up with. That was a couple of weeks ago, and then life got in the way a bit, so haven't been in touch with her since then.
Apparently m2g tried to organise one a while back, and there were the usual parochial issues about northern people not wanting to travel south, vice versa.
Ruthie suggested Noosa, (which sounds great to me - the bikini doesnt get much of a workout here in Tassie!) although practically we would need somewhere close airports/bus terminals. Gotta think of the budget!
Keep in touch

Edit: please note in the other direction from the travel inn, approx 3 mins drive, there is a drive thru McDonalds ( should anyone required this. )


1 week to go...


New edit: Ladies you are only a 10 minute drive from this Click here (http://www.chingfordrugby.co.uk/), plus they play on a saturday

Oh Jewels, will I need to bring my walking boots? OMG decisions on shoes. Those links are great, think we are gonna be spoilt for choice. So it's not all sports gear and hooped earrings Piggie! See!!

Only SIX sleeps left for me!

Oh Jewels, will I need to bring my walking boots? OMG decisions on shoes.

You don't need walking boots to find the hotel bar. Doubt you will be wearing anything when you stagger back again (shoes that is!)

I'm not sure it even has a hotel bar.. unless it's called 'Cherry's Room' :twisted:

/me is glad Cherry can still join us. :biggrin:

also within this area is the Kings oak pub, complete with swimming pool for guests to use (within it's bear garden)

They have bears there too? Are they the big brown ones? Great links on the local area but I'm only gonna be there less than 24 hours - how will I squeeze it all in AND play my game!!

Doubt you will be wearing anything when you stagger back again

Looks like kisskiss is up for the Naked Corridor Running Contest too!!

LOL have editted now, as the bears have heard about us all so they have run away,

Naked corridor Running contest:embarrassed: can I at least keep my trainers on ?

Actually, I've thought of a different variant of the Naked Corridor Running - thought we could add Chinese whispers into it! Everybody has to stay in their room and then one person runs to the next person's room (naked, obviously) gives them the chinese whisper, they run to the next room (naked, obviously!) and gives the next person the whisper etc etc.

Now how I will stop myself from wetting myself en route, I'll never know!

OH MY

Might be a good idea if any photograph's that get taken ARE NOT shown publicly



edit: as you know I am not staying that night.


JEWELS SETS UP HER CAMCORDER AND TRIPOD

Well those of you who know me, know im up for a giggle and will do most dares.
But if anyone thinks im running naked or wobbling as the case will be, then you are definatly on strong drugs.
Oh dear who the hell invited piggie:eek:

Oh dear who the hell invited piggie:eek:

You did hun. :razz:

Actually, I think I invited myself!! In fact, are you really all meeting at Waltham Abbey or is this whole thread to throw me off the scent?:eek:

I wondered why Buffers told me there was no room at the hotel she was staying at!

Lol no hun your more than welcome, i have mod conned your sty for you.
its all cosy all new straw and everything.:eek:

But if anyone thinks im running naked...

That's my party piece...

Slight problem for me, ( as some of you already know )
Being Cup final day, mr jewels isn't about to baby sit, plus I just found out my youngest son has a party to go to, from 5-7pm, but it is in Harlow ( near bowling) so I will briefy pop into bowling with mitch-mitch and baby mitch-mitch ( aka jakey ) then meet you guys alot later back at the hotel/pub.


I shall be poping over Friday night to hotel/pub to see the first lot of arrivals:razz:

Im so glad that my other half hates football, im more of a fishing widow.
But then again i love fishing so i still have to see him:eek:

Just to let you know for numbers--I am coming and Peanut and I are coming to bowling but not playing just watching xx

Just realised that some of you don't know what Jewels, tupps, cherry and myself look like so I found this pic from our Watford meet.

/ Cherry walks away blushing at her lies:sad:

As you may know I won't be playing bowling as will just be poping in briefy as will have 2 of my son's with me, however I do feel I have let you all down, so as the bowling isn't that far from me, I popped over there this morning and well this is what I have done for you all:razz:

I'm gonna put my socks OVER the shoes... they are a fashion disaster!!

Oh socks good point, Ladies if you are wearing strappy shoes ( no socks ) remember to bring a pair of socks to bowling, you don't know who has worn the bowling shoes before you.:mad:

Oh socks good point, Ladies if you are wearing strapy shoes ( no socks ) remeber to bring a pair of socks to bowling, you don't know who has worn the bowling shoes before you.:mad:
To right im not getting any foot diseaes from others feet ewwww

THREE more sleeps for me! Yeah girlies, dont forget your socks for bowling! That rules out any ballgowns for the evening too, what a plonker you'd look in that and bowling shoes. Well, each to their own I suppose!

Oh socks good point, Ladies if you are wearing strappy shoes ( no socks ) remember to bring a pair of socks to bowling, you don't know who has worn the bowling shoes before you.:mad:

Ewww imagine that Verucca Boy had just worn your bowling shoes before you! You'd have to go out and buy some Bazooka for that verucca!

/me puts lickle ankle socks on her packing list!

Do they make ankle socks for trotters ???

only joking!!!

/me runs away and hides

Oh I do hope I don't forget in which direction I'm supposed to throw the bowling ball!!
/me shouts HEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a few of you with only TWO MORE SLEEPS TO GO!!

However, the majority of us have THREE MORE SLEEPS TO GO!! YAY!

TWO more sleeps for meeeeeeeeee. And ladies don't worry if you have forgotten your socks, I've been out and bought some new socks, so I'll have some going spare. Even washed them too. I know ... I can hear you saying "How can we possibly repay Fairy enough, she is SO thoughtful." Three words... vodka and coke!

Start off slowly my dearest Cherry.... bottle, then keg. You work like me then?!

YOUR DESTINATION

If you're wondering what this den of iniquity, sorry hotel, looks like - I went there today to have a nosy around and it looks like this ...

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/parrotsandwich/thehotel.jpg

The hotel is on the left, I focused on the pub because I fear that's what you lot will be doing:razz:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/parrotsandwich/hotelwide.jpg

If anybody needs directions how to get there, tough - shoulda booked somewhere easier to find:razz:

Does everyone know.. that oddly.. the landlord and landlady of the Bakers arms have coincidental names?

/me giggles

Thanks for that fender, now ill know where im gonna park, as the car park was more or less empty lol.
Im so looking forward to this meet, to see a few i havent yet met or annoyed.
To be sober enough to talk for a little while.
To prove i can bowl without falling arse over tit.
And too maybe try and drink nuffs under the table:eek: .
And lastly to draw better pictures in the drawing games in person than i do in isketch.:rolleyes:
See you all on saturday yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Drawing game? .. do you presume I went out and bought a large sketch pad and marker pens today, or that I've dug out my brother's easel specially for this meet? ... ya right, I have:razz: .. should be fun

Heart? what is this heart you speak of? :razz:

I know where I'm gonna park too. See that first picture, I'm parking next to the disabled bays!! OK? So anybody arriving before me, do not park there as I have that spaced reserved!

I'll take some cones and section off all those bays, then ma'am can have her pick. Whilst I'm at it I shall ensure the grass is exactly the right shade of green and the birds in the trees sing in the correct key.

Oh Fender, I wonder what the birds will be singing. Round these parts, most of the mini skirt wearing birds sing Beyonce, Girls Aloud or Sugababes tunes. Not in the right key of course.

/me wonders what the Essex birds sing along to, and hugs Cherry, her new found vodka drinking partner xx

Just out of view in the above picture is a little man with pingpong bats, flagging you into the space. Please try not to run him over, he's only got a week to go until retirement.

Lol, jewels! You always pic the perfect pictures. :razz:
For those of you who are meeting up tomorrow... just wanted to say that I hope you guys have fun. Arrive safely and leave safely, lol. Wish I could be there. And give each other hugs.. from me :P

Just out of view in the above picture is a little man with pingpong bats, flagging you into the space. Please try not to run him over, he's only got a week to go until retirement.

The previous employee.... was run over... hence the chalk outline in the parking bay...

Mock all you like guys! But what you can't see off to the side of that parking pic are the extremely large double spaces for men to park in. They usually park in diagonally etc!

Just for the record, it was 21 years ago yesterday that I passed my driving test FIRST TIME! So there!

I would like to wish the people travelling tomorrow a safe journey, I hope you find a huge friendly welcome when you arrive in Waltham Abbey.
This being very near my home town, i'm sure you will find the people kind, caring and fun loving people, however my only concern is that you have accents, so when you order food etc from a menu, piggie, fairynuff, peanut speak nice and clearly and remember to pronouce your H's and T's, as for you my dear Buffers probably best if you just point at the pictures on the menu.

Take care all, I shall pop over to the pub tomorrow night.((hugs))

lol! Why do they need their h's and t's? We don't use our h's and t's here. I find myself dropping them sometimes when the cockney in me kicks in :sad:
lol @ AJ: "Does that mean jewels is posh? God that would be weird".
Bahahahaa!

edit: msnerd/AJ you 2 can still join us, would be great to see you both.

thats because you are the london side.
lol no me isn't posh honest I aint.

lol, I believe you 'cause you said "I ain't" XD
/me clears her throat and puts on her posh voice, "gimme a glass of wa'a, innit" :razz:
That was a notch up to posh from my usual East London self.
Just kidding. I don't talk like that. o_o

Edit: Aww, jewels, just saw your edit <3 :)

Ive just looked through all your posts lol.
This meet will go down in isketch history im sure of it:razz: :razz:
And cherry huggles back her new found vodka swilling partner.

Will it go down in history because it will be the first time that all Meeters get arrested for being too noisy in the quiet refined pub run by Managers with the same names as Buffers and Fender!!

No, I don't mean they're called Buffers and Fender!

I hope we're not too excited and then the meet be an anti-climax! Although I'm sure Cherry will eradicate the "anti" bit, if only for her own pleasure! :embarrassed:

MY LAST SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Ok, I've decided on clothes and shoes, and babysitters are all organised for my son (who I'm gonna miss in a strange way). Done the shopping, vodka, nibbles and a mango! Now let's just hope Peanut's train runs on time. With any luck, Peanut and I should be there around 7pm at the latest. I shall drive nice and carefully seeing as though I am responsible for Mr Peanut as my passenger!

I shall report later tonight on what the first 4 are up too.

LOL BM!! Don't worry, I've packed my camera, but I refuse to take pics of the Naked Corridor Race. Oooooof.... can you imagine?! Piggie has the advantage anyway, she has 4 trotters to run on :eek:

Really looking forward to this. I've had my shower and packed my bag, just need to sort the car out (boring stuff) and then I shall be on my way to collect Mr Peanut from the train station! I'm not sure if anyone will be taking their laptops, be nice to give those who can't make it, a full update as things happen!

All those going.... see you soooooon!! xxx

Have fun everyone!!!

edit: I have just spoken to peanut, both him and fairynuff are in her car. All seems well, I did have concerns that peanut may have just got into anyones car, but he assures me it is fairy's car he is in. :razz:

Lol,poor peanut i hope he survives the journey with nuffeh.
He is a shy one as it is.
I cant wait untill tomorrow meeting the ones ive not yet had the pleasure of lol:razz:
I have my 2 disposable cameras packed, as when pissed id proberly lose my digital one, i will be clicking pics like mad lol.
Ill post them as soon as i get home on sunday or monday the latest

Had a text from Nuffeh this afternoon about 1.15 and all it said was "Nearly time!". I texted back saying it wasn't fair because I was still at work and she was just about to leave to go and fetch Mr P from the station! Had a text from her about 4.30 to say they'd just stopped at the services for something to eat. She wasn't sure on their location but she did know that they'd gone just a little further than Watford Gap!

Had a call from Buffers about 4pm and she'd arrived safely! Then at 6-ish I had a text to say that she and Fender were just going to take a stroll over to the church and they were still awaiting Nuffeh and Peanut who were due around 7ish.

Personally, my whole world fell apart this afternoon. I drove home from work and got within ½ a mile of home when I felt my car "go funny". Managed to get home but could smell something hot - uhoh - so phoned my dad and asked for some advice. Well, it's not good advice when you're told "well, you'd better cancel your trip tomorrow then". UMM, NO DAD! So obviously I didn't want to listen to the "Oh Wise One" any longer and jumped back in the car and prayed to God that it would get me to the garage. I got in the car and it smelt like somebody had done a poo in there! (Did I fart that bad before I got out of it before?!!) So very cautiously I drove to the garage. Couldn't drive anything but cautiously because there was just no power in the acceleration at all! I was struggling at 15 mph! Anyway, to cut a long story short, my car is still at the garage with a diagnosis of the exhaust having fallen apart or something to do with the cat converter! I've told them that I need it on the road by midday tomorrow or else! He's half-assured me that it will be so please can everybody pray for my little car tonight cos I'll be stuck otherwise!

Oooooh just had a text from Nuffeh. She and Mr Peanut have made it to the hotel in one piece! So, that's four for the Meet!! She said that the rooms are lovely, area is nice too. They were greeted by two Scottish lads in fancy dress so she doesn't think we'll be the only noisy ones there!!

Perfect timing your car has there, Piggie! :eek:
Hope it's safe and sound for your trip tomorrow.

Thanks for the update. Glad they all arrived safely. Now don't kill each other when you all get together, 'kay? We want you all back in one piece. :razz:

Have fun!

edit: I have just spoken to peanut, both him and fairynuff are in her car. All seems well, I did have concerns that peanut may have just got into anyones car, but he assures me it is fairy's car he is in. :razz:

I thought you were more concerned about Fairy killing him and dumping his body somewhere along the way, isnt that why you rang them 3 times?

HAHAHAH so the bottle of brown sauce i put in piggies exhaust worked wonders then lol !!!!!!!!!!



/me runs away sharpish and hides behind the local abbey butchers

Piggie if your car isn't fixed and you get a train, I am more than willing to pick you up from a train station.

Off to the pub to meet them now. :razz:

Omg piggie, please if your car isnt fixed, get a train.
One of us will pick you up from a station, if you dont come ill have a homeless pig left in my bag.
Poor little oinker

Thanks guys but you can rest assured that this little piggie will not be getting on any train to experience a three hour train journey from Bristol to Paddington and then another hour on the tube! And all at a nice tidy sum of £51!

I'd much prefer to go hire a little car for £45 and pay the extra petrol! However, let's keep our fingers crossed that an S reg Astra will be speeding its way across the M4 some time tomorrow afternoon. I've decided that I will remain calm unless there's no chance of me getting there at 6!!

But, like I've said to a few of you this evening, this could be a blessing in disguise. Just think if my car hadn't gone weird on me this afternoon, then I could've been driving it along the M4 tomorrow and got halfway and then it happened. There would've been NO CHANCE of me making the meet! At least it happened today and I've got half a chance of making it!

By the way, heard from Nuffeh at 10.20 pm. She said they were all having something to eat and jewels was there, having a good gab!! No doubt jewels will update us when she returns!

yay for a safe pig!

/me don't gossip :embarrassed:

So you've nothing to tell us then? Nuffeh seemed to think you were all yapping away!!

* jewels;81913 don't gossip :embarrassed:
You dont gossip lmfao, i swear on my huge rump that you do.
Also your the i dont use porta loos,s women hehehehehehehe:rolleyes:

You dont gossip lmfao, i swear on my huge rump that you do.
Also your the i dont use porta loos,s women hehehehehehehe:rolleyes:

lol
/me slaps porta loo's.

Just spoken on phone to fairynuff, think we have an accent issue here

/me says

"Hi fairy this is jewels, good morning"

fairy says

" oh sorry I think you have the wrong number"

/me says trying to do an up north accent

" no fairy it's me jewels" we got there in the end.

Hope the accent issue was resolved!!

Just thought I'd pop on to let you all know that the garage phoned this morning and it's not good!! The ECU which is something to do with the engine management system has buggered up, which in turn has melted the cat converter so both the ECU and cat need replacing. I could be looking at a bill for over £400 in total :eek:

So here's my proposal: Everybody on iSketch has a quick look in their pockets and throws in the pot any loose change for the PCF ..... Piggie's Car Fund!

I'm just sorting out my things in anticipation that the car might be ready this side of midday but, like I've said, I shall remain calm until 2 pm then start to panic! Don't worry though, I have a back up plan and lovely parents! Mum has said she will insure me on her car and I can borrow that if necessary! She's insured with SAGA - how old do they think I am?!! (Do NOT answer that!) However, whatever happens, I shall still be landed with a bill for near £500 inc labour etc! And this was supposed to be a cheap weekend?!!!
:eek: :eek: :eek:

Piggie I could be wrong, but I think saga will not insure anyone under 50 even for a named driver, however if your own insurance is fully comp, you can drive another car but only as third party, if you're only third party with your insurance, if you phone them they should do you a weekend cover rate for your mum's car.


/me empties her pockets for the PCF but only has 2 polo's , some fluff and a first class stamp.

* jewels;81943 empties her pockets for the PCF but only has 2 polo's , some fluff and a first class stamp.

Aww piggie, I do hope you make it to the meet.
/me turns out her pockets and finds a used tissue, pocket lint a piece of thread. :rolleyes:

Jewels hun, can I please nick that first class stamp from you? I need to post my assignment. :razz:

Just spoken on phone to fairynuff, think we have an accent issue here

Lol, that was funny! Maybe Fairy didn't want to talk to you? :P Aww, just kiddin'.

So here's my proposal: Everybody on iSketch has a quick look in their pockets and throws in the pot any loose change for the PCF ..... Piggie's Car Fund!
/me doesn't have pockets on her clothes today
However, you can have my credit card. But um.. *cough* :cry:

I Hope your car gets sorted on time though. That's a huge bummer. ESPECIALLY the cost of it all! :/

Vrrooom.. vrroooom....

What's that... Piggie's car...?

Awwww gawd 5oo quid for the car:eek: .
Cherry has no pockets today either, but im sure i can run to buying you a bag of chips at waltham abbey, maybe even a savaloy to:razz:

Just to let you know it's unlikely i will be at meet...:sad:
I have caught tonsillitis from lil Bune and i feel like poo. No way i could sit in a bar or room tryin to stay awake and even look like I was alive. Im so sad I keep crying cos i really wanted to meet everyone but as Jewels says "there will be lots more meets" so i will just crawl back into my pit and hope the penicillin takes effect soon.:sad:

aw, we've missed you guys on iSketch today. Hope you're having a great time!

Love

Mr and Mrs Rusty x

UPDATE
Yes piggie made it:razz:

Well I have just left them all at bowling, all seems well, everyone seems to like eachother and noone seems drunk yet, but hey the night is young.

I shall be re-joining them later this evening back at the pub/hotel .




watch this space

But I don't gossip
I just tell the truth as I see it:razz:

I had a strange dream last night and nutters & his wireless laptop took a short part in it :eek: Has he got it with him?!

Apparently he has - he's logged onto MSN

I would just like to say, i had a loverly time at the meet, from meeting Buffers.Fender.Piggie and Fairynuff, at the bowling (i have already met the others) to going to the pub then on to cherrys room, where Fender whipped out his isketch pad and we all had a good laugh drawing and guessing,I did here a quip about my drawings being better in pen and paper than they with the mouse =(. Ha never mind.i had fun and left with jewels about 1.45 am sober and still fully clothed !!!

Can't wait too see all the piccy's, and hear the gossip



Cunny_Funt

Was Great seeing you all, ( in no particular order) Tuppence Peanut Fairynuff kisskiss wild-cherry vodka-babe piggie buffers fender fruity damnit.

My chocolate fudge cake was to die for.:razz:


Update

just spoken to a few of the isketchers, oh dear there must be a bug going round, as 2 of them have been sick this morning.

Was that meant literally then?

tee hee Bad!! Jewels poisened the sketchers!!!:twisted:

Hope the accent issue was resolved!!

Well I have just had another accent issue, I have just been on the phone to kisskiss, who is still at the hotel/pub and in the back ground Buffers calls out

" Hi jewels you silly tart":cry:

LOL infact what she has said was

" hi jewels you sweet heart"



Hope you all have a safe journey home.


edit: wow I'm shocked to see how many guests are reading this thread at the moment. Perhaps it's best if I don't name the person who was sick over some-one else's bed.

Yes I made it and I'm back home again safe and sound!

Eventually the car cost £376.11 so, although it was still an unexpected expense, it wasn't as bad as predicted! And thank you so much for contributing to the PCF (I think!!). It ran up there like a dream; stopped at junction 23, M25, for a pee and then phoned Buffers to let her know where I was and that I'd soon be there. She said they were all in The Plough and would make their way over to greet me! Pfft! Some welcoming party I had! Nobody was there :sad: so I went to check in AND got to my room before looking out the window and seeing some silly old tarts standing outside the pub looking at the road allegedly awaiting my arrival! Anyway, I did my royal wave from the window and then ran down to meet them! Fender then emerged with my "Welcome Piggie" poster, which you might get to see on a photo, even if it did take Buffers FOUR attempts to take it!!

We had a brilliant time bowling although el_pedro was lost en route and didn't manage to find us :sad: Cherry managed to finish her first game on that wonderful score of 69 .... /flirt her-score! Then it was back to the pub! Useless pub! Tell us if you're gonna stop serving food before we start looking at the menu! Anyway, /me to the rescue. I went across and got a menu for a dodgy pizza delivery firm and we had pizzas and things delivered to Cherry's Party Room.

How we weren't thrown out of that place, I'll never know! Twice reception called the room and told us to keep the noise down! Whoopsie! "iSketch real life" was brilliant! A few suspect draws and a few skips were necessary .... insert "Tuppence seems to be asleep" photograph!

Tupp and jewels left about 1.45 - we did mention that they could be seen to look like a couple of hookers leaving the hotel but they didn't seem to mind this!! :biggrin:

I logged off at 2.30am and apparently the party carried on for another half hour or so.

I'm saying nothing about the drunkest person there but poor little vodka_babe must've had a shock waking up with vomit on her bed; not her own vomit, I hasten to add! You'll have to figure out who she was sharing a room with to know whose it was!! :twisted:

It was brilliant to meet everybody and we had a great time (I think I speak for them all when I say that). It was a good sized group to be able to chat to everybody too and they were all so nice too (yes, they actually were!!). Thanks guys for making it worth driving all that way to meet you!

Aww, glad you guys had fun! :D And yay for you Piggie, being able to drive down in your own car.

Lol, poor vodka babe. They'd call that sisterly love.. :razz: :twisted:

Anyway, glad you all arrived and got home safe and sound. As for the two who aren't feeling well, hope you feel better soon!
/hugs

OMG never again!! Just kidding! What a fantastic time I had, and what a lovely bunch of people. Greeted on Friday by Buffers and Fender, hugs all round. Fender disappeared for his dinner (I think) which just left the 3 of us (me, Buffers and Mr P). Friday night was a nice quiet night, with just me, Buffers, Peanut and Jewels. Went to the pub for food, nice grub too, and sat and chatted for a while. Jewels toddled off in her lovely car, and we strolled back to the hotel. Peanut went to his room, and Buffers and I chatted and drank vodka in my room until about 1am. I have a feeling the chatting might of gone on longer if I wasn't falling asleep lol.

Woke Saturday to discover I better buy another bottle of vodka oooops lol. Sketchers arrived throughout the day, and off we went to bowling. As Piggie said, we were all gutted that El_Ped got lost on the way there.... but El... there will be more meets to come I'm sure!!

Everyone got on so well, and I know for sure, I'd meet up with these people again. Thank you everyone for a fab weekend!!

/me snogs Cherry, what a darling you are xx

Glad to hear you all had a great time. Hope to see you all on the next one :biggrin:

Glad to hear you all had a great time. Hope to see you all on the next one :biggrin:

Once again thankyou all for a great time, :razz:

Glad everyone had, a whale of a time.. good to have you all back again though :smile:

Cunny_Funt

Just spoken on phone to fairynuff, think we have an accent issue here


btw Jewels seems crap with all regional accents especially the Bristol one. Offered to ring through the takeaway order for Piggie on the grounds that noone would understand her (none of the rest of us had any trouble!)

Was great to meet Fairy, Piggie, and VodkaBabe and catch up with all the old faces (I don't mean old as much as familiar - I swear!)

I had a fantastic time in fantastic company - thank you!

(Would love to hear more about Fairy's experiences at High Beach now I've heard what the locals use it for!)

Kissy!! You naughty girl!! High Beach in the day is probably more respectable in the daylight hours than at night I'm presuming :twisted: Lots of people with young kids walking about, and only one dodgy bloke spotted (luckily I was stood next to my car at the time).

And jewels? Next time you recommend somewhere, could you please let me know it's bad reputation BEFORE I go! All in all, even though I visited a well known Essex dogging site, the area we stayed in was lovely, and I had a spiffing time! Thanks once again to everyone for making the weekend such a good laugh.

Nuffeh, I didn't disappear Friday night for my dinner - I disappeared so that I could get a good night's sleep in my own bed because I knew exactly what I was in for the next two days:razz:

What a fantastic weekend! What started out as a little informal get together because Buffs was travelling down managed to turn into a riot of a mini-meet (riot not being too far short of literal.) Thank you to everyone that came along for making it the success it was. It's telling of how well we all got along that it felt like I'd met all of you before, even those that have managed to avoid me in real life previously. It was also great to get to speak properly with those that I'd sadly only swapped a few brief words with at Henley.

Bowling was embarrassing but fun, just as at Henley - the ball always seems to go looking for my mind, and presumes it's in the gutter for some reason. I feel awful that we managed to somehow lose el_pedro along the way, I thought I was only acting as navigator for Cherry. Hopefully we'll see you again at the next meet though.

iSketch was hilarious, more so knowing we were annoying the miserable swine in the next room:razz: .. and the room below:eek: See what happens when you get a room full of iSketchers but no admin are around to keep control of us! I had to park my bottom on the floor for much of the time and if anybody else had kicked me I'd have been forced to leave the room and go sit in the lobby:razz:

The morning after the night before brought the sad but inevitable departures for those with long distances to travel and stuff to do, but Buffs, Kissy, Vodka_Babe, WildCherry and me stopped a while for a drink out in the glorious sun. And then it was back to life, back to reality.

For fear of missing anyone out, I won't list you all individually - but it was wonderful to meet every one of you and I hope it won't be too long before we can all get together again. I had another sketch pad with me that we didn't even touch ...

Well... it sucks to be home! :sad: I had a brilliant weekend with you guys! I think all the details have been gone over... I can't remember doing anything embarrassing, but I'm sure people will remind me. Oh yeah.. I talk like a geordie fishwife! :razz: Everyone there was a diamond! It has to be said... brilliant company all weekend and just... well it was just wonderful to see you guys... people I've met already and those I hadn't yet. :biggrin:

Okay.. you want pictures....

WALTHAM ABBEY ISKETCH MEET 2007 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEeUYRg1g4o)

Thank you all... xxxxx

/me hikes up the kilt for iSketchers at Waltham Abbey!!!!!

Edit: Oh and as for who's who.. you'll have to guess :razz:

Oh.. yeah... and CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE! <<<breaks accent barriers lol

Well, it was good to see those of you who were there when I was... Had a very nice time in the sunshine having a drink and talking, as is the proper thing to do at these meets.

Needless to say that I am quite fed up of Essex at the moment, having seen most of it in my attempt to find you all at the bowling alley. Special thanks to everyone who did try and help me get there. I did ask at petrol stations and have come to the conclusion that most employees of those places are infact thick as frozen treacle.

Lots of good photos from Buffs there. Sorry I couldn't be in more of them, but I'm sure you all know the score by now.

*el_pedro kicks all 4x4 drivers up the arse, hard

/me gives el a big hug :sad: we missed you xxx

Next time I'm tying you to me :razz:

* Buffers;82111 gives el a big hug :sad: we missed you xxx

Next time I'm tying you to me :razz:

In which case can I at least be let out to have a pee?

I'll think about it... well... okay... unless there's a Range Rover about lol

I think I'd like to pee on a Range Rover. Preferably from a great height. And with extreme disregard for the driver... :twisted:

Buffs, fantastic photographs to a great song! It seems like ages ago that we were doing all that! That is one You Tube bloggy bit that will remain on my favourite list for a long time! So glad you got the Piggie poster in! It's currently up in my bedroom although Mario's not quite sure why!!:eek:

Unfortunately, Ireland will have to do without me I'm afraid! I just won't be able to make it. However, I may have to consider Henley if the date is right! Perhaps then I'll get to do my game!! It just wouldn't have worked in Cherry's Party Room!

Oh well, off to bed now! Work tomorrow!

Piggie, what do you mean by Cherry's room wouldn't have worked for your game, I thought naked corridor running just needed a corridor:razz:

Anybody who didn't make it to Waltham Abbey, or who did but partook in a little too much drink and now isn't sure what happened, can see a gallery of photos what I took here (http://www.graphicglitch.f2s.com/walthamabbeymeet/index.htm)

I've rung the hotel this morning and they assure me reconstruction work for the damage caused Saturday night will be completed by the time we arrange another meet, and we're not all banned for life. Who says miracles don't happen:eek:

Looks and sounds like you all had a great time :smile: xxxxxxxxx

/me hikes up the kilt for fenders pic
nice one xx

oo cool pics fender thanks. /me so wishes i had been well enough to go. :(

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really feeling the after effects of bowling! My left leg and my right arm are sore!! If I ever go on another meet, can someone arrange less strenuous activities?! Lifting a glass containing vodka I can do, but bowling... nope!

Thank You so much for taking me along! I don't remember much, but then again if I was there, the rum would have done the same! So I will assume I had a wonderful time!

Wow, looks like you had a great time!
Pictures look brilliant - although I thought more people were going than that.

Any more people and I fear there would have been a real issue with space in Cherry's room lol

Thinking about making this an annual thing now though... about the same time each year, and there are still LOADS of sketchers I'd love to meet, they know who they are... you can't hide forever... I WILL stalk you down. :twisted: Mwahahahaha

And lil bunny... there's always next time. :smile:

... you can't hide forever... I WILL stalk you down. :twisted: Mwahahahaha
/me considers the witness protection programme!

Looks like you all had such a good time :biggrin: Can't wait for the day I can actually make one of these :biggrin:

Glad you're all safe xxxx

A little ditty to sum up the waltham abbey meet.


Waltham abbey was the spot, where isketchers met to thicken the plot.
We started out in the bakers arms, where all the bar staff loved our charms.
We had a few then went outside, to look for piggie and to hide.
The plan was simple on the meet, to jump out from hideing and so could greet, the oinker and her trotter feet.
We then went strolling off to bowling and one of us got lost, poor el_pedro silly moo, cut up by a range rover so dident go.
At the alley bowling away, piggie,s scores were big way hey,broken nails and falling balls, watch my feet you silly fools.
Burgers and chips at the bowling alley. what a minging meal, burnt fries and crappy burger, why did i pay my bill.
Back to the pub and more to drink all chatting haveing fun, sitting chilling gabbing away, what a lovely happy day.
Now to my room cherrys den, for isketch nibbles and more to drink again.
Pizza delivered to my room, laughing shouting complaining to.
Reception rang to say were to loud, were only talking says the crowd.
Another call from reception again same complaint oh great.
And so to end this exciting night, cherry spewing with delight, on vodkas bed of all the places, just as well i missed her face.

This time last week ..... :!:

Oh, I was in the bath!

This time last week ..... :!:

Oh, I was in the bath!
This time last week, i was standing in a car park waiting for piggie to arrive.
But she had already got to the hotel and was in her room looking out the window at us all
