Can't wait Annie!

Lutztylugs, you would be sorely disappointed.

I still enjoy a good laugh though.

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 8:36 am

You did get me wrong, Maureen. I was searching for a flight to the other side of the world

(I know, someday I will be punished for not denying myself being lippy)

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 6:47 pm

The punishment could come veeeerrrryy quickly Lutzylugs.

Other side of the world??? No way my friend, you wouldn't go so far away from Auntie Mo.

Hello convention travelers,

Just 18 more days to go. I am looking forward to see you all.

Oh eh Kaz I try to paint my hair sorry it is yellow now.

Maureen, how many people are coming to the convention except you and your hubby (I do'n't know that word but I think understand what it means.............I hope)

Greetings Rose

Sorry Rose, I have been so busy recently, missed this question completely.

The members attending are...

Lillian, Kazza, Liz, Rose, Mette and her husband, Salin and her husband. Popo and her husband. Not forgetting my poor overworked and understanding hubby John, M.A.D. will be there too btw.

Not long to go now.

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 8:21 pm

Hi all,

Maureen should buy an additional cask of Guinness and cook some extra haggis.

I'm happy to let you know that I booked a flight to Ireland today

Looking forward to meet some other wonderland-loonies

Great news Lutzylugs, I'll make sure there's plenty of the black stuff for you.

Dear Mrs. P Hat, how I wish you were coming too. We will all raise a glass to you on the Saturday night, bet you will be able to hear us all the way to Texas.

I'd love it if everyone could come but maybe one day.......

Busy little bee this past week with my brother here, he leaves tomorrow so I'll be concentrating on all the preparations for the convention.

Sorry for not being around lately, I'm sure you will all understand.

Btw, ANYONE ELSE WANT TO JOIN IN??????

mette · Post by **mette** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 10:25 pm

YEAH! Lutz is coming too

DKgiz is happy to know the gender distribution is getting more even (you are male, right?

)

I find it very hard to wait

Mette

Just before I head off to beddy byes, here's a little teaser for you.

This is only one of four designs made by my good friend Poops.

Ask no questions and you'll be told no lies. hehe

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Sun Aug 07, 2005 11:05 pm

Oh, I love it/them ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:40 am

It is good to hear that are coming Lutz

See you in a couple of days.

Rose

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 7:14 am

Yeah! Glad you're coming Lutzy! See you soon!

Mo - love the Wonderland design up there.

Can't wait - I'm jumping around like a little kid.

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:15 am

A great logo - well done Poops - very intriguing

Perhaps you are having some "Wonderland Alan Wickers" made up for us

Have you been peeking Lillie?

They will be 'one size fits all' so they'll be big enough to tuck your vest into.

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 11:33 am

Moi???? Peeping at other people's Wickers - NEVER!

I just had a thought - it will be so hard not to call everyone by their forum names, as opposed to their real names

You will always be Poops to me and the same with Auntie Mo, Salin, Gizmo, Kazza and everyone else. Not sure if Lutz is his real name - but he will always be Lutzy to me

Personally, if everyone calls me Lillie instead of Caryl that is fine by me

What does everyone else think? Perhaps we should have name tags with our real names just in case

It is.

Cheers Lutzelspringelburger

popo · Post by **popo** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 12:57 pm

Name tags sounds like a fun idea, like being on a game show.

Mo called me Poops most of the time when I was there anyway, so I don't care what you call me, swear words excepted.

mette · Post by **mette** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 2:52 pm

Well, my real name is Mette, so I guess you can call me that (if you figure out how to pronounce it). DKgiz' real name is Bjarne, but you can call him Giz if you want to.

Mette

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 3:04 pm

My real name is Auntie Mo but if you want to call me anything else feel free.

Just a wee update for everyone....

Most of you have my address and phone number, you will need this info for the security checks at the airport. Besides Lutz, would you please let me know who still requires these details.

I think it would be a good idea if everyone sends me their flight numbers and times again, I want to make sure everything is exact.

Please don't think I'm neglecting you, Ken just went home today and I'm trying to catch up with the dreaded 'H' word.

The secret is out now, everyone will be given a pair of tartan Alan Whickers with the above design printed on the front.

Now back to my shopping list.

kaz67 · Post by **kaz67** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 3:46 pm

Ooo super-dooper .. new wickers, that will save a trip to Marks n Sparks.

Lillie - I am gonna find it IMPOSSIBLE calling you something other than Lillie-Puddin

Moi ? ... Kazza works, Kaz too, (Karen if I been naughty), "Oi" or "a-hem" will doubtless grab my attention ... "67" probably won't as it goes, it's just my house number ...

11 more sleeps to go

Kazza

Mette

You mean I've been pronouncing it wrong in my head all this time?

So how do you pronounce it?

mette · Post by **mette** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 7:03 pm

Hi Mo,

We need your adress and phone number. I'll find the flight number and all the details for you later if you haven't got them from Lillie yet (we're flying in on the same flight).

Andrea wrote: You mean I've been pronouncing it wrong in my head all this time? So how do you pronounce it?

Well... how to explain it? The first part (Met) you pronounce like "met" as in "We met yesterday". The second part (te) you pronounce like... try saying "the" without the "h", but keep the vocal sound. The preassure should be on the "Met" part.

Bjarne is much harder to explain. You know the singer Björk? Take the "Bj" sound from har name, pronounce the "arn" like "arm", but with an "n" at the end, and finish it off by adding the vocal sound of "the". The preasure should be on the "Bjar" part.

I don't know if this makes any sence or how well it fits with how you have been saying it

Mette

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 7:09 pm

I have been pronouncing your names correctly Mette, thank goodness for that eh?

PM on it's way with my address and phone number btw.

I probably do have Lilo's flight number but just want to verify everything.

Lutz told me he has a map of N. Ireland, says he'll look out for the nutters wearing tartan Alan Wickers.

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 7:16 pm

Well - I've been calling you (in my head) MET, as in "we met yesterday",
even though we haven't met yet

It's probably a good thing I'm not going to meet your husband. I would never get him sorted. He'd have to be "Giz".
Is that a hard G, as in "got to get a Gizmo" or a soft G like . . . eh, maybe . . . . ummm . . .
the only word I can think of is the indian Geronimo (and I'm not sure how to spell it)

Edit: Now I've thought of some: a genuine gentle gentleman studying geneaology.
