I just wanted to say hi to everyone on here and introduce myself as a new joinee. I read the book ages ago and never really got around to joining, but since my boyfriend is now in the middle of the book, well it sort of reminded me of how good an idea the whole thing is!

So here I am!

I have a day off today and so I'm hoping that I will be able to complete my 1st RAoK as well as getting my passport picture in the post. Are there any joinees in the Manchester area??


Looking forward to meeting lots of lovely people who enjoy spreading some happiness in the world!!

Welcome and Bienvenue! I too did not join for ages after reading the book. Not sure where my copy is to be honest. Couldn't find it last time I looked for it!

There are indeed. Check out these recent threads in particular.

Check out the RAoK section (Random Acts of Kindness) if you want some inspiration, or better yet post there if you get inspired!

There are lots of lovely people here abouts!

[AmyJ]

Wow, thanks for that Dave! That's a great starting point for me

[Mr Phil]

Hello Amy.

I'm from Manchester, but I haven't lived there for 13 years, and I haven't been there for about 10.

[/helpful]

[AmyJ]

Well, let me know if you ever make it back up here, I'll gladly show you around the ever-changing city!

Its grown so much! I've only recently moved back myself after an 8 year gap and its gone apartment mental! Still has some hidden gems in terms of pubs though! I can't claim to being a true Manc though I'm afraid - I'm from South Wales originally, so more of a welsh / manc or (Melsh), the other way was a bit dubious!

[Mr Phil]

Or a Cwmanc.

Hello and welcome, hope you like it here

[GJ Drought]

hey Amy.

manchester was my closest city up until about 2 months ago! now its leeds! theres still talk of a manchester meet at some point.

Hi Amy, welcome to the forum

Is your boyfriend enjoying the book too?

[Rubidium Joinee Tigger]

Hi Amy! I'm not a Manchester joinee per se (given I'm down the road in Hebden) but I'm not averse to a bit of train travel. And, in fact, I'm heading that way on Sunday for the SkyRide. Big Sal's over in Manchester at uni and as Craig mentioned there're a couple of us who keep threatening to have a mini meet but it somehow never has quite happened...there's always time, tho'!

[AmyJ]

I'm really pleased that there's talk of a Manchester meet!! I would certainly be up for getting involved whenever it takes place. I too will be around on Sunday, not actually riding a bike but a fully fledged supporter on the side (maybe with a cheeky pint and packet of scampi fries in hand!).

My boyfriend is loving the book thanks! Currently on page 107 and going some...Its quite satisfying hearing someone chuckling next to you when you fully appreciate the humorous situations being read. Needless to say, there have been many silent gestures thrown backwards and forwards that translate to, "I know, funny isn't it".

Thanks for the welcoming words guys, everyone seems really friendly on here!

[Joinee Watson]

Hi Amy,

Good to have another Manc (of types) on board. Keep your eye on the thread that Dave pointed to and maybe the mini Manc meet* will happen.

Enjoy the forum.

Rhys

* a small meeting in Manchester NOT a meeting of small Mancunians.

[joinee_ taylor]

hi every1 im a new jooinee but i don't know what the age limit is and is anyone from bristol

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

No age limit at all, and there's at least one other joinee in Bristol

Hello!

[SJ cDave]

There's very few limits at all to being a Joinee. Just the ability to post (or arrange to be posted on your behalf), a passport photo.

Ooh, I wonder if any of the Joinee's babies have offically Joined in their own right?

Well, I am new here, I want to contact Danny
any one can help me. tried the email but didn't work. it is urgent

[Gaz]

Urgent? Has Jimmy fallen down the abandoned mineshaft on old man Zeke's farm, broken his leg, and the flood water is up to his neck already?

Oh wait, that's Lassie...

[Mr Phil]

Hello Sura. Just keep trying the email, but he is rather a busy chap, so your chances of a reply aren't all that good. When I say 'keep trying', I don't mean spam him though. Are you sure it's *really* urgent?

[Sura]

yes, tried so many times but it comes back as a failure email,,,, By the way thank you for coming back to me..

You'd probably have more response going via one of his agents. Contact details on his site.
