Spotting Forum Members in Arillas

[Sandy x]

What can I say???

[4x4]

Well the bodywork is a bit knar led, but when you have been off road as much as I have its only to be expected.  In fact I could double as an underground map with all my battle scars.

I dont look anything like my forum pic either.

I rely on my 'Arillas.Com' T shirts, although this May I was recognized by quite a few from my photo! It was great to meet fellow members and make new friends.
On previous threads I have suggested a 'Forum Badge' so that members wishing to 'come out' can wear a distinctive sign. Just a thought.

I look the spitting image of Claudia Shiffer but you'd never know it from my forum photo!!! Strange that people will happily chat on these pages revealing likes and dislikes but won't make the first approach if they think they recognise someone.

Last year at the Mathraki we arrived late in the evening and went down to the bar and joined a group of happy friendly people. I already knew from the forum that some members would be staying at the studios but they had a lovely photo of a black labrador on their profile so no clues there!

" So which one of you is the Green Goddess then?!" I enquired. One lady peeled out laughing and introduced herself as Suze. It's true what Phil says "There are no strangers in Arillas only friends you havent met"  We enjoyed their company and had a great week.

Cheers Nan x

Nan luvver, I agree so completely with your sentiments. I have to correct you out of deference to him, it was TerryW who coined those wise words about friends you have yet to meet. But we both so obviously agree.

Jen and me just relate to anyone who wants to. If it emerges they are on the forum then so be it.

But if I recognise someone from their pic (eg a house, a foot in the pebbles, a car, a toddler, a cartoon, a hedgehog) I just go up and say "are you on the arillas forum?"

I haven't been arrested yet for soliciting a 4x4....

[Eggy]

 if I recognise a hedgehog) I just go up and say "are you on the arillas forum?"

Phil

I remember when I first met Phil. I saw this guy, on the beach, talking to a hedgehog and thought...................................
Next week Phil , as a special treat for you, I have 2 gerbils, a rabbit, and tortoise who all want to buy you a drink.

Forum Pictures can be deceptive though. Someone said I look like Kojak.
"He's been dead for years" says I
"Exactly" says he.

I did get asked directions the other day by Ger. She recognised me but I couldn't tell it was her as I only had a foot photo as a clue.
