If your supposed to be me does that mean I'm replying to myself 
PMSL...well if you are me that would explain why my hubby's been looking at me a bit strangely lately

although I hope that you're not the reason he's been slightly more amorous than usual :-X Please don't tell me he's after your erm...... plums and not my *mangoes"

Don't worry about talking to yourself luv, it's a sign of old age, you only need to worry when you start losing arguments against yourself (or so my trick cyclist says..

:

;D
If distance were to be a problem for a forum-wide meet, then how about lots of smaller, more localised meets? I'm "oop norf" in Yorkshire, but I'd be happy to travel to Leeds, Bradford, Dewsbury, Barnsley etc etc but any "darn sarf" meets would be out for me. Any meets I did go to I would have to take my hubby :

but then again, I'm confused, because if I
am Curry King, wouldn't that mean I'd have to take my wife....I mean, his wife....oh damn! I'd better go and take another valium

No wonder I had problems putting me bra on this morning

:-X
Maybe a thread asking where members are actually from may be a good start...there would be no point organising a meet in the Orkneys if there's only one member from that locale.

Thank you to responding to my suggestion that I might be able to invite members round to my place after I build a tandoor. But I don't think anyone else even commented, so I was hardly trampled over in the rush for people to register an interest! I'm not sure of the reason why the idea of get-togethers may not appeal. Perhaps it's to do with people preferring to remain anonymous. I don't know. I wouldn't have thought travel distance was the main deterrent, but I could be wrong.

Hi George

Maybe people didn't take your offer as a serious one? or maybe, as you say, people are reticent regarding the loss of anonymity, although even if you do turn up to a meet, it doesn't mean that you have to give away any more details about yourself than you would wish to....

I like the idea of meets, not because I need my social circle to be widened/enhanced, and not because I'm nosey, it would just be good I think to9 thrash out in person (and over a tasty or not so tasty dish

) about what is and what is not a good curry ;D I know we all have differing ideas :

and we could get a better idea via thumbs up and thumbs down in the restaurant reviews section, or maybe a kind of CR0 curry guide designed
