[Rubidium Joinee Tigger]

oops! And a big thanking-ye-kindly-sir to Rich (of the Morpheus variety) for giving me a lift home and sparing me yet more train-induced mania.Ra!

[Joinee Varwell]

Thank you to Bing and Mark and the rest of Team Nottslanding for organising an awesome meet. It was so much fun, and ran smoothly without being over-organised. You guys rock.

Thanks to Bing, Mark and Westy for putting me up and for accommodating my irrational hatred of snorers.

Thanks to Jamie R, Phil H, Heather and Mhairi for not murdering me after shouting and throwing things at you on the first night.

Thanks to Team North, particularly Captain Cooke, for making me feel proud to be part of something. And thanks to Team South for providing tough but gentlemanly opposition, all in the true spirit of sportsmanship and Join Me.

Thanks to Heather for all the amazing amounts of driving from Weegieland.

Thanks to everyone who bought me drinks, especially when I threatened their manliness by asking for shandy.

Thanks to everyone I had really nice chats with.

There wasn't a single thing that anybody did that wasn't wonderful. Except Elliot throwing up on Jo, of course. But... well, it wouldn't be a GGF without a bit of that.

Next year there won't be ANY of that.
Many thanks to everybody in Mark's room who cleaned me up and sorted out bedding and sent me away to sleep like a normal instead of a mental!

Thanks to Mark and Vic for being Ace
Bing and westy for stuffing more people than should be feasible in their lounge
mhairi and Scott for gentle mocking and moral support
Richard for being the daddy
Mr Collins for being all round marvellousness and patience incarnate!
Tigger for massaging me
Everyone on the quiz machine for crap answers!
Shelley for co-chanting and jumping!
All of the dancers for mentalist dancing (special mentions to Heather, Phil and Phil!)


All of you. It was ace. GGF rocks!

[Lethal Biddle]

Many large and bountiful thanks to everyone. Everyone was a pleasure to socialise and cavort with as usual.
Special thanks to Neil for looking after me, Mark, Bing & Westy for hospitality and sportsmanship, team south for performing as well as was needed, all sandwich, bun & cake makers for all the sandwiches, buns & cakes I ate.
Apologies to the above for being required for such roles, to Jo for being a bit sick on her & to anyone who was unsettled, dropped, kissed, led astray &/or forcebly inebriated at any part against their will.

Cracking weekend all round though. Again, thanks everyone.
