Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Someone once commented on my successful marriage. I replied that it hadn’t been easy at times. My wife addded, yes things were tight and we couldn’t afford to split up!

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
The wife and I stayed together for 36 years but only because of the kids.
Neither of us wanted to keep them.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
That was one of the ones at Castle Donnington I think? There were a few just down the road when I was at Uni in Loogabarooga in the early noughties. A couple at that pub in CD with the massive car park out the front*, then one or two just of J22 of the M1.

I think the first MemMeet was 2002? Or 2001? My memory for things like that is terrible. I also can't remember how many times we went to that pub in Castle Donnington, it was at least twice, then we went to the Victoria in Coalville for a few years, then moved to the pub/camping events near Derby.
I now wish I'd taken more records....
