Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
It's certainly been an emotional day/week and it's just got better.
My father and older brother were both violent wankers
But my younger brother is OK and I'm a very close uncle to his only boy.
He's just texted me to say I'm gonna be a great uncle.

54 years next September (and we were together for about 3 . years before we got formally hitched).
Cards, flowers and chocolates are not necessary after 20 years, but can smooth the path somewhat. Your choice.

Round about now 20 years ago I first met Muz at a VD mem meet. @Rockburner might know the actual date, but other than 'March 2004' we have no clue

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.

Yep, the pub with the massive car park out front is the placeMr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:47 am That was one of the ones at Castle Donnington I think?

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....

Grats to ya both.
I vaguely recall an incident involving a teddybear,where you had the piss relentlessly ripped.
