Ouch my head still hurts !
Its just after 2.30pm and I can just about focus on the keyboard now, enough to write about one of the best meetings we have had so far.
I notice from time that Pops wrote his post he must have got up real early - but no suprise there as he left so early last night !!!!!! Even LA beat me to posting and he looked worse than I did at silly O'Clock this morning when I dropped him off.
And so.....
The meeting commenced at the Horseshoe Bar (except for LA who was holding a pre-meeting, meeting with himself in Mojo's).
At the start, there was myself, LA, Gary (from the UK), and Albeach (hope I spelled it right) visiting from the US., we were soon joined by Mobaan and his lady and the evening got off to a great start.
Yes you do need thick skin but without exeption we all had a great laugh at each other and ourselves of course - however there were one-too-many 'hat' jokes, so next month I will leave it at home (maybe). (no names mentioned - but see above

)
After Albeach and Mobaan departed, the empty chairs were soon filled by Pop-pop and his friend and even more laughs were forthcoming. We had an absolute ball - until the staff began turning the lights out and folding the tables - wow it was 1am already
As everyone was in full swing so to speak and we were having such fun we decided to continue and after a vote (of 1) we trundled off to the Full Moon pub all piling onto whatever motorbikes were available. My bike moaned,groaned and creaked under the strain but we made it - just as the torrential rain began to fall.
We had just about an hour in the Full Moon and unfortunately did not get to see any of the dancers - however certain member(s) of the meeting wasted no time in making acquaintances with 'anything that moved'.
The debate will continue indefinitely as to whether it was a male or female and even though there is only one sure way to find out - we could not let our fellow Forumite find either elation or disapointment, so rescued him. Looking back we should have left him to continue - purely for research purposes of course
So back out into the rain we found ourselves - and still not yet ready to quit.
All the girls from the Bar seemed to be off to continue the nights festivities so we we decided to join them and headed off to +10 - near the Udon Hotel. Gary had already secured himself a lift, so the motorbikes breathed a sigh of relief at one less person to carry.
This place was alive and one could hardly move inside for bodies - thankfully most of them female (no doubts here for sure) and LA seemed to have a mission to either talk or dance with every female in the room that night. I think he suceeded too. Only one sour moment when a passing girl received a pat on the backside and the look she gave back could have floored a guy without trying - wow !
Gary made himself at home in a corner with his new found friend (and her mates) but Pops and his friend decided it was well past his bedtime and he was long overdue his late night coco and they both went off to get their beauty sleep (much needed).
LA and myself remained on the 'floor'- taking in the sights and wondering how there are so many young free and single (?) girls all in the same place at the same time

. I have no idea what time we left but managed to get LA back to his hotel just before the torrential rain started again - hence I was almost drowned when I finally made it home
This was the longest meeting we have had so far - and easily the most fun. For those who choose to stay away you are missing a great evening. Even those who come for an hour and say Hi - its great to meet you.
Hopefully at the August meeting we will get to meet the almost elusive 'Farang' who keeps promising to come but never quite manages it.
Come on farang - show yourself
Next scheduled meet is August 9th (Saturday) but can be changed if needed to be more accomodating to 'out-of-towners'
I look forward to it already, and the venue - well who cares ! we just need a starting point. Last night worked well.
Miss it - Miss out.
