to have forgotten what went with frangipan?

[Hullygully]

Skips prettily about the vast empty potentiality of the empty Hall and awaits.

Umami

I was on a speech and language support site. A mum came on and asked why her son may be using strange sentence construction as in ' Going to the bathroom I am' or 'food I need'

....guess what stupid pag I suggested may be the problem......

at being banned from communication support group.

Nah. haven't been to any. might be tempted if you were going and/or the promise of a fandango

But I worry that people will notice my real life dullness and large bottom.

Yes, is both luring and scary. Nearly almostish went to last xmas one, but then didn't.

Why you scared Widow?

If we made Gibbon come, we could hold the electrical giblet.

Scared because everyone is so wise and witty and probably stunning and fascinating in equal measure. Standards are so high!

And what Pag said: real life dullness and large bottom

Actually I could go and introduce myself to everyone as Umami.......

I know what you look like tho...and your dog.

Ooooooo

Plus, you probably exude an aura of fabulous-housedness, and everyone would immediately know who you were.

I'm ba-ack

JamieJamieJamieJamie! How was't? Is Mimi gorgeous? Is the food fabulous? What about Crush? Did she introduce you to him as her imaginary pirate friend from the internet?

Darn it, if I didn't go and miss you all - Jamie how did it go?! how exciting! was it all weirdy and not knowing what to say, like a first date? Or was it like old pals greeting each other?

I have never been on a meet up, always been all secret squirrel about my MN use. None of my RL friends know I use it. Not sure why. it's not like it's a big deal but I love the anonymity of it.

I will of course kiss Giblet for you Pag

I can't stop, she is intoxicating

mwah to all xx

James! Come on, we want to know.

Look, bet they've formed their own little sub ipoat splinter group.

.......OR..they had a fight! Oh no, fisticuffs in the kitchen, bet it was over The Crush.

Sorry, sorry....

Yes, it was weird at first, but then we met and it was very comfortable. She's a lovely warm lady, and her place is too. We had a laugh because some lady was a bit strange and insisted on writing a "review" for her, and then was a bit rude to me.

I had a very decent Egg Florentine, and the eggs weren't snotty, which is a big thing for me .....

Crush - well he's a hottie, and seems friendly and open-faced (IYSWIM) but I didn't get too long too observe because he and friend left. Did not get introduced because it was meant to be hush hush (although the squealing I did at the beginning may have alerted him to something going on ....)

Hooray! ROFL at you squealing at The Crush! Poor man. Was it male friend or female friend with him?

And The Review? Was it good? What did you do to make her rude? Tell more! More details!

Mimi, is The Crush following you on Twitter? Can I cyberstalk him?

Male friend - in fact I thought he was Crush at first

Rudeness - well she asked how I knew Madame and I said friend-of-a-friend (thinking fast), then she asked if I live round there, and then when I said where I do live, her and companion made sort of "Oh how very hoity-toity, don't we think we're special" sort of noises (bear in mind this is Hackney and there are varying degrees of scabbiness)

Ah, nothing but jealousy. Just cos you is living somewhere posh, innit?

Wouldn't it be faaabulous if the man friend was some like-minded bloke whom Crush was virtual friends with on Mansnet, and they were just meeting for the first time!

lol 'mansnet'

So pleased it went well and you got to see crush too!

Well funnily enough Umami, Clissold Park Cafe is vair vair similar

Jamie called me a ladee! lovely Jamie! So chic! So kind!

I feel like I am living in a Maeve Binchey novel, y'know, pluck gal opens caff (after broken heart and traumas) meets lovely customer blah blah,does he doesn't he, then (wait for it!) Gets invited to the Marco Pierre White Turkey cooking extravaganza by MNHQ....obviously MPW will become instantly besotted and I will have to choose between, er, honest, open-faced Crush and Wild Man of Cooking....

Actually Umami, 'twas Crushes rather handsome Polish builder.....but perhaps he found him on Mansnet?

Madame! I feel really bad, I did not leave a tip for your lovely waitresses. I expect there was "talk" after I left ......

Just had a thought - if it doesn't work out (God Forbid) with Crush, maybe give HPB a go ?
