I'm going to take it very seriously and get my leg chewed off in advance so it will be a bit like that...

So, now either:
1. I don't get an invite for this get together, then wonder in a paranoid way whether I am an oddball (I am) or,
2. I get invited, and end up worrying about how to turn you down gracefully because I think you're all a squeak away from being in a hitchcock movie (y'all are)

No offence

Not getting an invite doesn't mean oddball.

E.g. Last meet up was at a private residence. It was on the other corner of the country from those in the eastern herts counties, and too far south for the greater north herts residents.
It has the size restriction of any house ( plus a good chunck was missing at the time).

We spent a portion of the day saying we would have loved to meet x, y or z. So even those not invited were thought of well.

E.g as he is above, we didn't Invite chewy. It might have been thought he probably didn't want his oh getting tips on which stain removers were best for passports, but i think we all said we loved his wit. We knew it was too far for sue, and too exposed for silvercar. Things like that were considered more than oddballness.

I wish we had asked spirit to come. . Next time spirit, will you?

A man has to be odder than to chew his own leg off to be considered an oddball.

1. Nobody gets an invite.... you assume you're invited and start pitching in with when/where you can make it.
2. The meeting is ..... to get a pack together .... to come and hunt you

That's a shame - I'd wear it, and get pleasure out of it. Pearls aren't diamond hard, but they aren't very easy to damage physically. Chemical damage is more likely to be a problem - don't spray perfume or deoderant anywhere near them.



Probably Akoya. 20 years ago, there were very few round freshwaters. How big are they?

I have just measured them using a plastic tape measure and they are 6.5mm. Each seperated by a knot. Bill was for cultured rope £765 (I have just looked under the pad for the first time!).

I also have some of the rice pearls..but the string is broken so I need to get them re-threaded. They are very white.

There is a fake necklace of Majorica pearls that I had forgotten about.

DD has a necklace of pearls we bought for her in Borneo about 12 years ago which I think are a slightly irregular round shape cannot recall the exact shade but I would not go into her room to rummage as it would be rude to.

Depending on how careful people want to be, might it be worth choosing somewhere else (although I've been wanting to go there since it was mentioned ages ago:))? The name has been up for over a day?

It's under £20 per head cash and BYOB. I could bankrupt myself in London.

We could all bring smartphones and keep posting here as if we're all at home so the stalkers would be none the wiser.:D

Could be worse. Could be like west side story, dancing gangs of bears and bulls, with the headline song of 'I want to buy in America,'.

Ah, then tose of us not coming could still join in?:o:rotfl:

The seating and chatting issue is a thing to consider. A table the right shape to all yell over is best if you are seated.
