    Oh, and mind if I try a handful of that popcorn before I go? Can't resist it. :D

    Em, was a bit over-zealous on the quality control :o. Will make some more. Cajun spices or chilli?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks a mill and that's so nice of you to say that! :T Am really looking forward to putting faces to all of you! Although I'm guessing it won't be "Pass me the shovel please MatyMoo" or "could you put the kettle on Pyschopathbabble?" ... would make for very funny viewing though! :rotfl:

    The laugh was we really didn't know what to call each other so MSE names were used mostly :D

    Formal, us lot? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    And I love "Mikes Mob" ... never thought of Mike as a gang boss!
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

    Hi Nuala

    Actually if you watch carefully towards the end, Mike was asked to face his Mobsters who he had never seen before and one by one guess who we all were. Actually he did a brilliant job - he got me first time. Providing they have left that in you could be enlightened although understandable, there were a few that wanted to remain faceless/anonomous for their own reasons. We shall see.

    As Maty says, its funny when we had all been chatting online for so long and knew each other so well, when confronted with each other's real names it was a bit of a puzzle. The funniest one was one of our group has a man's christian name. This person got lost in Littlehampton the day they arrived and texted me to ask for directions. I offered to meet them enroute, I took a few of the group with me. Nicca was designated to text her back and ask if they were male or female. Female she was. That was a giggle.

    Another women we were looking for turned out to be a male.:rotfl:

    All in all it was a great laugh all round.
