I thought there was something missing on Accy Web, just couldn't put my finger on, then it sudenly dawned on me Less is back yippeeeWell done another 3 pages of replies from the Holier than thou brigade cluttering up the servers just because they can!
True yer not, but yer are anti- social.Glad I didn't turn up, I'd have felt pretty miffed if half the gathering was outside cultivating lung cancer. Smoking is anti-social, smoking and sitting ouside away from the rest of the people you are supposed to be meeting is even more anti-social. There's my opinion, and I'm deffo not in the "clique"
True yer not, but yer are anti- social.
well yeh can disagree wi yerself there.So you won't be seeing me at any more meets then, no point in turning up when I could sit my own back yard and freeze to death drinking crap beer then is there?
. 
Well unfortunately I've never been to a meet, much as I'd like to, but I would have thought the idea of these meets were for members to get together have a face to face chat (by the way was Bee thereWas going to cheekily post something similar, but thought better of it, seeing as I couldn't go.
If I had, being the social butterfly that I am, I'd have flown hither and thither, but be mainly where I'd be most likely to have a good laugh.
As a smoker the Railway sounds ok-is. Though I've never been. Neither inside nor out.
Thinking about it, the only meet I've been to since the smoking ban has been introduced, was a Christmas do at the Queens in Church.
Not much of a split that night.
Seeing as the smoking area was a tiny back-yard, accessed via the mens' bogs, and it was cold enough to freeze the angel hair off your seasonal baubles.
At the great meets I remember with fondness, there were no serious thread based discussions, no splits, no post-mortem bitchin', they were quite simply, just really good...
FUN!
) and as Rindi as said have fun, lets face it members can fall out day in day out on line, no need to do it at a meet
I seem to recall Bernie was probably the nearest to have spent equal time both inside and outside.How's about we have accyweb meets for smokers and non-smokers on different dates and at different venues???? Then maybe we compare how well attended or not as the case may each meet is
Your still the mother hen Mez and still talking senseI am going to put my pennyworth in now .........as far as this last meet went i found it was ok a good turn out & a chat here & there, yes the smoking ban has contributed to "split" meets, but i think that the meets are to get to know the people who you are chatting & mabe disagreeing with online its up to the individuals to mix, as far as the venue's are concerned it has got harder & harder to find a good place for a meet up believe me i know
mick & i used to check out all venues for each meet ( mick to check on the "refreshments" & myself the layout). meets will never be the same as the stag ones that was "accywebs" home. i just wish all this backbiting & nitpicking was put on the back burner (left alone ) & mabe get your heads together & sort out if you would like another meet or not, its always been up to the members to agree where & when, with mick & myself as referee's.
sorry i had to go home early but the lights & telly's were effecting the infection in my eye otherwise i would have stayed till the end. ..........mez
agree, seems odd to me some critisism came from one who wasn't there,
i can only speak fer meself, but have never had a bad night at one, before n after the smoking ban,some people would win "Gold" if bitching was in the olympics.
