    It's very quiet on the Tony and Mel front, isn't it?? Can't wait to see how it all went.

    Sheffield that is where they filmed THREADS (nuclear war film, scared the pants off me...).

    I guess they are still gassing away.

    Well, I heard from Tony, got a text with a lovely pic of him and Mel on - such a lovely couple :D He was back home and said he might pop on here today but I think him and his missus are pretty tired and have other things to do.

    Which is annoying when I'm dying to hear how it all went!!

    wimmin :roll: So blooming impatient.... Lol

    As my dear friend Nina stated, we are home, rather tired, even though we only had to drive about thirty five miles, much less than poor mell....
    So forgive me if I'm not on too long... Needs tetley tea, lol...

    We got to the secret rendezvous point early, I was taught to do that in my years as a gurkha.. Know what your escape routes are should you need them :wink:
    Plus I think that Mell & co might have been held up at the Yorkshire border & strip searched.. We're a bit dubious about Southerners up here.. Not that I had arranged ahead with my colleagues at the border just to stop them, search them, threaten to keep their passports, I would never do such a thing :shock: :lol:

    As we sat waiting I noticed a small black cloud on the horizon, just about car-sized, with tiny lightening bolts coming from it, heading our way.. I knew that had to be Mells rant cloud.. I recognised the particular type as it looked very much like mine....
    I went to the doorway to meet them as their vehicle pulled into the car park... Wish I'd never bothered, horrible people :eek: :eek: :shock: :shock:
    I'm kidding......
    They were all very nice folks, me & Mell got on very well indeed,a few rants were had, all very mutual ones of course.. At that point our two clouds collided, it was like some kind of super nova... Apparently it was seen in Dubai.. It was so intense it couldn't be seen with the naked eye in the UK...

    We had some lovely food, good fun, great laughs... All in all a very good meeting of loons.. Lol
    All the wimmin types also got on very well,i think we spent over three hours or so sat gabbing, mostly sensible talk from the wimmin, mostly insane, inane, outright dribble from me n him... Lol

    I've asked the very sweet Mrs Lawson to post the one photo I managed to take, apparently we are that much of a force to be reckoned with, physics dictates they're can only ever be one photograph of the two of us in existence at any one moment in time :???:


    Hope you are all well and have survived this troublesome time, we both apologise profusely for any inconvenience to your daily lives that this secret get together may have caused.. Thanks to all the tax payers for an excellent security team...

    Brilliant - I loved reading your post, Tony and glad you got on so well.

    I would have added more detail though, obviously, being a wimmin type - what they looked like, perhaps... shoe styles :D Still, you can't have everything if you're going to get obsessed with personalities and conversation!

    Just another 'Rapture' moment from the sound of it. And yet the world still grumbles along effortlessly.

    I'm glad that the meeting went well and the revolution was averted for the time being, Tony. No doubt the ladies had a calming effect on you both :grin:

    I will post the one and only photo of this historic meeting as soon as you email it to me.

    Here's the one and only photo of the historic meeting of our two forum heroes, and what a handsome pair they are :!: :grin: (Tony on the right, Mell on the left)

    The smiles say it all :grin: You look as though you were getting on famously. :grin:

    Take it easy today Tony, and I hope your hands will feel better soon.

    Thanks Joan..
    I've managed to send you pictures of both myself & Mellman mid-rant, be warned, it ain't pretty...
    Watch this space dear readers... These are rare photos indeed. In fact it wasn't thought possible to capture such a moment on camera.. History was made yesterday... :shock: :shock:

    ... Something very strange happens to Mell when he starts ranting, like a chemical imbalance.... :shock:

    Then the same thing happened to Tony :shock:

    th_20110429-141503.jpg

    Click on the photos to enlarge if you dare :!: :shock: :shock:

    The sky suddenly went dark, the locals ran in fear, the dogs started howling, the tables shook, the drinks began to boil in their glasses, there was static in the air, :shock: .... All this just because one of them mentioned illegal immigrants! :roll: :lol:

    Oh my word, is that our dear friend mellman? I have to say I prefer him without the rant head on. As for our Tony . . . . . . well I like that smile!

    Thank you, Joan, for posting the pictures, it's lovely to see those two. DD

    Dear friends, you were warned about the rant pictures, lol..

    The rant is a very infectious disease, incurable too... The only way to calm a patient down is to just let them get it out of their system, just keep all fingers etc away from patients mouths during this disturbing phase as biting has been known to occur... :shock: :shock:

    Crikey, I hope I don't catch the deadly rant disease, Tony, if it makes you look like that :shock: :lol:

    I used to do quite a bit of ranting when I was in charge of a class of 30 kids, but I'm all sweetness and light these days :grin:

    I'm also economical with the truth sometimes :lol:

    I really cannot picture you every looking that way my dear, lol..

    There are some on here that display classic symptoms of this very misunderstood disease... I worry for them deeply... It is a curse..
