I was at Johncy's in Benaulim on the 8th no-one else there, I had to miss the meet-up yesterday due a case of Goa belly... it doesn't last long and I'm ok now. will anyone be at next week's meet -up if so I'll be there you will have to pm me with details of what you look like and how I'll recognise you. I'll wear a stripey yellow long skirt.

Ok gotta go as lots more kingfisher to drink oh yeah the cocktails are scrummy

hya all, hope to be at lazy days the 1st feb

Hello all!

We will be going to lazy days on 1st of March to have a nosy and see if anyone's there.

feel like I am missing out! What are these meet ups? Sounds fun! I am coming to Goa next Nov \ December. Just wondered if a closed group of friends or a chess club or something!! Stuart

Hi Stuart

Its just a chance for the HT (holiday Truths) people to meet & put faces to names,

(read the first page for info)

Regards

mids

(Oh & its not closed)

Sorry to ask, but what time do you all meet up at the Lazy Days?

I dont want to miss an evening of fun with everyone, but I dont want to miss an evening of fun maybe down at the Beach Barbecue at Big Bananas, and then a later meeting at Lazy Days.

Or do you meet early, and there is time to eat Elsewhere?
I am familiar with Csm road, but have never been to Lazy Days. What sort of menu could you expect on a wednesday if you wanted to eat, and it wasnt too busy?

I think the best time to get there is about 8.30-9.00pm, that way the board should be up and you'll be able to see if anyone else has signed in; it can be quite freaky sitting in a bar where you not quite sure if the other people around you are people you have come to meet up with, luckly the first week we went I recognised Rob from his photos on here and CWT, LinB was there along with Goangirl, Sharmina, Robs Mum, and then Samtheboater and his wife turned up, but the second week it looked like hubby and me were first to arrive and we sat there trying to discreatly listen into other peoples converstaions to see if we could make anything out that may give us a clue to their identities, when the others arrived, we discovered that Arpora Julie and her hubby were already there and we'd been sitting at the side of them.
Lazy Days does do food and it is very good, generally it is better to just have something to nibble in case others arrive half way through the meal, makes for a much more sociable environment.

Can I say it's also a little freaky when people people come up to me and say, oh hello Rob... I start to wonder, have I already met then and can't remember, or whatever, but as they're from HT they say it in such a freindly manner like I REALLY should know who they are.... OK, sometimes, I should know and I have forgotten but most of the time thhey're people I haven't met yet... I don't take much notice of screen names in relation to questions (I guess I should :?) so I stumble through first introdctions......

Anyway, We're HOPING to be there tonight although we will have to leave early... Although, Shermina (Shem222) has been ill all night so we might not make it.

When we were in Goa in december Goandentist asked us to Lazydays when we were having whitening done but we couldnt make it (good teeth job by the way Dr Ambert!) but this time we are staying just off Baga beach road so will def. try to be there on 22nd march. I have read that quite a few members turn up so am looking forward to going there. I also have read that Rob and Shermina are doing a fabulous job looking after the Kiddies there and is there anything we can bring to help?

Thanks for the vote of convidence, you are more than welcome to bring anything (children related, eg simple educational items - eg Flash Cards etc, clothes, toys anything really as long as it will keep the children happy!

Who's going to be at tonights meet-up.

not me, but will hopefully show my face next wednesday

3 days to go

Last night there was myself, shem222, Gooner and Jon the boatman there, it was a nice lesiurely evening and before they get on and comment, apparently I am currently suffering from a 'Man Cold!'.... I just don't get any sympathy.... I would just like to know what is the difference between a 'Man Cold' and Flu and migraines that women get.??

Rob,
you know exactly what man flu is.
One little sniffle and you had to put your coat on.
Hope you enjoyed the cheese.
Enjoy your holiday in Palolem, (it will help you get over the double pneumonia)

see you next week (if you have recovered).

Steve

Quite a few people tonight, Rob [still with his man flu] Shermina, Goonerfan, Goan girl, Whizzylizzy, Ampora Julie and Samtheboater,
Fiona dont like to complain, but why is the cricket a sticky [boring] but this isn't ,and is more topical.

hi Lin
Here is a copy of an earlier post I made

sorry folks for doing this but, in view of the newest sticky it is probably inappropriate to have this thread as a sticky now.
However, something tells me that this thread doesn't need to be a sticky anyway to keep it near the top!
Please do read admins warning -even if we have been "talking" with someone for some time online we don't really know them. Anyway- lecture over - I hope everyone continues to enjoy the meets.

Edit - just realised the link no longer works! New link is here

Just got back last night after 25 hr delay.......... Met some great people at Lazy Days.
Rob, you got over the "Man Flu" yet? and hows the Teeth? ....
Lin b, hope the hangover after the casino wasn't to bad ?
Steve and Vanda, thanks for being great company over the last two weeks, have a great time for the remainder of your holiday many apologies for giving Vanda honeybee itus
Met some other "interesting" people there as well.........
By the way, you should all go and visit Rob and Shem to see the great work that they do, really opened my eyes!!!! Take every thing you can for the kids, they need it more than we do (and I'm not really a Kid person ) Some great memories of that day with Steve being buried under a mountain of excited children.
Rob, Shem and all your volunteers

Hangover you avin a laff, with the amount of orange juice they put in my vodka I actually ended up with a vitamin C overdose, spookily the symptoms are the same as a hang over.
Anyone going tomorrow to lazy days
What is the weather at home Gooner fan, not too cold I hope

Oh you are cruel Lin, keep rubbing it in, my tan as about gone i am feeling decidedly peaky.
