How many weddings do you have to go in a year? :lol:

Those weddings, are they sort of "saving contribution" with an option of cash out the lump sum for your own wedding, when time is up? :lol:

Birddog114 wrote:How many weddings do you have to go in a year?

At the last count this will be our 3rd this year with 2 more to go, next year we have 4 plus our own! :roll:

A friend of mine who is a lecturer at my old Uni might be coming to the meet. I'm still trying to convince him. He wants to buy a silver 45mm for his manual camera but he hasn't tried it yet.

A possible plus one, and probably Dad & I... we're usually there, aren't we? :lol:

by **Jeko70** on Tue Oct 18, 2005 8:15 pm

Is still there enough room for me?

Maybe they have a link :?:

by **leek** on Sat Oct 22, 2005 8:31 pm

I don't see the resemblance at all I'm afraid, but Daniel looks very different with his glasses on...
Maybe you should use this one Stubbsy to avoid any confusion of identities :-)
