Looks like you all had a great time! Hopefully I will make it over to Amsterdam one day

Do you all realize how beautiful you are?

Please be able to get together at the end of May.

Hey! Great pictures, Marion! Thank You for posting them.


I actually can't see them right now, in work, so I can't pick out my particular favourites, unfortunately. But I have seem them previously... I especially love the one of you in the peaked leather cap, Marion. Hawt! Next time I'm in Amsterdam, I may pick one out for myself. That or the chaps.


Well... what can I say? Too much! (As Herman and Lars definitely know ). As already mentioned, I really wouldn't know where to start - there was so much to take in and reality is only now throwing that brick at me. Work schmork. But Thank You to all involved - I had a fantastic weekend. It was such a good laugh and a pleasure to spend time in the company of so many amazing people. I just wish every weekend could be like that. This place is full of good souls. So... here's to the next time!


Nat - I am so glad you were able to make it and, of course, managed to celebrate your birthday. You picked a great city to have it in! Despite an arduous 13 hour bus trip you arrived, as usual, full of smiles. It was fantastic to see you and I hope you enjoyed yourself. See you very shortly!


Marion/Abby - being around you two is not only so much fun - you bring so much laughter every time we meet up - but it is wonderful to see two people so happy together. And I that picture of you and I, Marion... At least it doesn't look like we were having a this time. Take care and it was so great to see you again. Hopefully, very soon!


Aksel - again, as always, it is a pleasure to spend time with you. You crack me UP , you're full of great stories , you're just a joy to be around. You uber-Orger, you. Take care and I hope the golf/hockey went well. Look forward to seeing you again, soon.


Lily - the Secret Orger. It was very nice to meet you - you have a dream job that many of us would kill for! Thank you for giving me the tip on how much to pay toilet attendants (for future reference: 50 cents, NOT 4 Euros ) and I hope you got home safely, Until next time...

Whatever - A, it was so, so lovely to see you again. You looked absolutely amazing on Sunday. Tres glamorous. I'm sorry that we didn't get to chat as much as I'd have liked - after 2 weeks' off sick, followed by a massive night out the evening before, I was feeling quite on the Sunday. I really was hoping to catch up with you more than I managed - but it was wonderful to see you, all the same. The next time, we really must Take care, lady!


Alf - again, as with Whateva, I am so sorry that I couldn't function as well as I'd have liked on Sunday. But it was very nice to meet you (and both your lovely children). I missed you the last time so it was great to put a face to the name. Hopefully I'll get chance to speak properly next time and I *will* take your advice regarding 'onenitealone' on board. Take care.

Jurgen - again, another brief introduction but it was so lovely to meet you. Especially after hearing so much about you. Hopefully, we'll get to see more of you next time, you party animal! And thank you for the advice about the leather cuffs. I will be wearing my black ones next time. Until then...


Lars - I won't call it an unexpected pleasure meeting you because that would be inaccurate - I always knew it would be a pleasure. When we mentioned that thing about you, Herman & I being 'triplets' previously, I didn't quite realise how true that would turn out to be! You're an absolutely lovely guy and I am so thankful we got to meet this weekend. Take care, see you soon and thank you for making my weekend so enjoyable.


And Herman - once again, as I already told you, just having you in my life - either here or in real life - makes me very happy indeed. You have no idea how much I look up to you or the amount of respect I have for you. Thank you for listening, just being there and for your wonderful hospitality. That chat you Lars and I had on Sunday evening was one of the highlights of my entire weekend - I won't forget it. I just hope I can return the favour at some point because you are ALWAYS welcome to come and visit. Oh, and thaks for the dvd! Please say Hi toi Jessica and Michael for me, take care and look after yourself, big guy.


Hopefully I hve not left anyone out but, once again, it was great to see you all again/meet new faces and thank you for such a wonderful time. Roll onthe next meet-up!

Much love to you all,

Alun x

Hey Marion!

Thank you for your kind words - not everyone would say that, though, trust me. But thank you very much - it really was great to see you and Abby again; I think it was lovely of you both to stay until Natisse arrived. I just hope it's not too long before we meet up again.

And I DO love that picture of you, Nat & I! I forgot about that one! It perfectly captures how we were all feeling that night, especially when Nat arrived. (The only thing, thankfully, it misses are the 48 beers I'd drunk ).

SO good to see you again, love - please say Hi to Abby for me and take care.

Oi madam!

Get that lil' Scottish ass to the next one!

three kisses to onenitealone. cheek cheek mouth.

onenitealone said:

I shall try!

dawntreader said:

Hey Jurgen.

Yes, as I just said in my Orgnote, after nearly knocking out Marion with my lack of coordination I'm glad I managed to get it right with you. Another thing to remember next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Hope everything is okay with you.

susannah said:

Seeing you in a week and a half!

Look forward to it, lovely >>>> etc..

That should cover it.

dawntreader said:

Me too, me too!!

onenitealone said:

You just liked bumping in to me!



When we said goodbye you did it perfect!!

HowComeYouDontCallme said:

The secret is out!?!



I'm glad I managed to do it at last!


*kiss* *kiss* *kiss*

onenitealone said:

i am busy. and the weather is so nice. the org is my distraction.

dawntreader said:

The Org is EVERYONE'S distraction, I think.



The weather was beautiful when I left Amsterdam. I so didn't want to go home. Luckily, it's nice here too so it doesn't feel like I left just yet. I am still in 'Amsterdam mode'. I'll meet you at Dirty Dicks later.

Good luck with the lines, J.

onenitealone said:

can you believe i have never even been there?

dawntreader said:

Why don't I get 3 kisses from you??

Or didn't you read my reply??

onenitealone said:

dawntreader said:

No way - I am in SHOCK!




Nah, we didn't go there. But we tried out a few other, er, establishments. Interesting.

A friend's friend did go to DD's a while back and I heard all the stories. Plus, Herman gave me a description. Sounds *very* interesting.

HowComeYouDontCallme said:

i don't kiss women.

dawntreader said:

onenitealone said:

You never told me. Horrid figure, holding back on me.

dawntreader said:

Yes you do!!!!

Not winey women.

Stop groveling.

Put on your leather instead.

HamsterHuey said:

If I had any.. I would!

Maybe I should've bought that cap from Jur.

HamsterHuey said:

You.









Hey there, fella. How are you doing??

Nah, I didn't realise it was the same place until I got back and told my mate. I mentioned 'Dirty Dicks' and she said "Yeah, that's that club John went to and ended up ". I had no idea it was the same place!

I'm just surprised YOU aren't a regular.

Missing you, Herman.

onenitealone said:

If it had been the 60's, I might have.

dawntreader said:
