655325 2008-04-09 03:12:00 Hey, that's not a bad idea! My original thought of creating this thread is to cater personthingy's annual trip to Auckland, but I guess there is no harm in having two winter edition meetups!

What do you think, Laura?

Aw shucks, guys.
You've got me blushing...

But yes, I'd indeed be a starter.
And because I haven't made any definite Auckland plans yet, I can fit in with whatever others prefer.
I expect to be there around 5th May for at least 2 weeks - possibly longer.
(Open-ended travel is one of the few advantages of turning into a retired Old - provided you have relatives with spare beds)
I'll be staying with my sister in Avondale. She works, so no car available, but I've learned the buses & train to the central city. And I have lived in Auckland - back when I was young & Rangitoto was a small rock.

I like foodhalls with exotic choices.
I've been known to drink in bars (I was a journalist. after all...) but nowadays I want them to have interesting food as well.

Back to you...

655327 2008-04-09 06:45:00 Dates aside, I think we should all wear name tags this time round, with both our PressF1 username and our real name on it. :p pcuser42 (130)
655328 2008-04-09 06:47:00 Dates aside, I think we should all wear name tags this time round, with both our PressF1 username and our real name on it. :p

That's too obvious....

655329 2008-04-09 10:46:00 My memory is not too good, but I can usually remember who I am without a label R2x1 (4628)

Does that mean you guys circled each other diffidently last year before you worked out who was a PF1er?

So what happened to the good old-fashioned spy story tradition? Surely you could use your imagination?
Like -
I'll be holding a copy of the Herald open at page 14...
or
I'll be wearing a trilby hat & purple tie
or
I'll have a grey tweed jacket & mustard-coloured trousers.

That's so much less boring than labels.

(Having said that, I still refuse to come with a rose between my teeth)

655331 2008-04-09 11:09:00 How about anyone NOT from PF1 wearing a bowler hat with a rose behind their ear? R2x1 (4628)
655332 2008-04-09 12:36:00 How about anyone NOT from PF1 wearing a bowler hat with a rose behind their ear?

Obviously we accept them into our group.

Such eccentricity is worth cultivating.
This may either be the next super-geek or merely a disturbed person.
We'll have to make friends to analyse which...
