funsters clique

magicsurfbus said:
I have suspected for some time that the hard core of rallying funsters are actually shape-shifting reptilian aliens from the Zeta Reticuli star system, working under deep cover to plot the overthrow of our planet at their so-called 'Meets', where they gather to imbibe of a strange red brew and talk in unintelligible lizard-speak.

You can find out more at http://www.davidicke.com/ where he's currently doing a two for one special offer on tin foil helmets.

Must log off now, the paranoids are after me.

Sarcasm, because beating the living poop out of people is severely frowned upon in polite society :-)

What is a ;) funsters clique :eek:
How do you know the difference between a clique and just friends socializing together. :)
So a couple of friends gather outside the van, would it make any difference if its in the van. :eek:
Its a difficult one, on the whole funsters are a friendly bunch, but everyone is different, but we all have something in common. :ROFLMAO:
When we did the rally marshals job, we were told off by a member for causing a clique, :rolleyes: allowing friends to park together if it was possible, not that it makes any difference because they gather anyway, it happens in all walks of life.
But we always found that put a couple of new members together the had a good weekend and most of the time made new friends. (y)
We have met many and got loads of people to join fun, and if its a big crowd its more of pull up a chair, but could be more difficult if 2 or 3 couples are having a planned gathering. (y) Bob.


 
It was in Portugal....Maybe it was because they couldn't fit anyone else under there umbrella. Even JJ tells me its been a little damp this winter.
 
Just in case anyone should think I am ignoring them, if my glasses are on top if my head (where they often are) and not on my eyes then I don't always see you :rolleyes: I think a fun rally is one of the friendliest places you will come across, no matter what your age or the age and model of your van.

I've been a member of fun for 7 1/2 years never been on a meet and the only funsters I've met have been in Benidorm the last 2 years and they are Smudger , Snowbirds and Portland all very friendly.
Pat and I are venturing on our first meets at Chester and Peterborough then off to Benidorm again for 7 weeks.

John.
 
Well, I have only been a member on here for 18months or so and have been to two meets and and met one Funster on the road.
I can honestly say that on each occasion we have been met with enthusiasm and friendliness.
We hope to meet many more Funsters in the coming years (y)(y)

That first photo looks nothing like Benidorm. Not a skyscraper, kiss me quick hat, full English breakfast or pint of John Smiths in sight. Are you sure your sat nav was set correctly JJ :cautious:.

Maybe we should do a deaf awareness workshop at a meet - finger spelling, communication tactics, funny misheard quotes (always a crowd pleaser).... You can take a girl out of communication support, but ...... I must take retirement seriously! (y)

Sounds interesting Geraldine:) Our daughter was born with severe hearing loss and struggles in lots of situations. The outcome often differs dramatically depending on the attitude of the 'other' parties involved. Quite often it can be funny but sometimes she's had really negative experiences, especially with a previous boss.
Anything to help raise awareness(y)

I have met funsters here and there, including a lady earlier this year at Pedro's who said, not any more they are to up their own arse's, oooh who upset her?
And today at portimao marina I've met two more couples, I thought this was a great chance for my hubby to meet these 'funsters'. It wasn't going to happen!!!! They were in their little clique?

Does it not occur to you that this is for many, just a forum in which they exchange views on motorhome related matters and sometimes on off topic general subjects. Its not a physical social club. Members may not all want to socialise with other members just because they see a sticker of a flag denoting membership. Its not being on a clique, its simply a matter of choice, they might like stay with people they are in company with and not include others in their circle.

There are some members on here who post many times daily, some far less frequently, some who want to socialise at meets etc and some who don't. Its not compulsory for us all to sit around the campfire with a flag and sing the MHF song. Some like their own space and their own company, its not being rude.

I never said anyone was rude!

The latter has happened to us as well - got completely blanked by someone on here when I introduced us, which was extremely rude.

However, having said that, we have made a lot of friends on here - Dawn is quite shy and slow to get to know people (I'm the noisy sod who will chat with anyone for wine) but nearly all Funsters are happy to chat. Some we like a lot; others are good acquaintances - but nearly everyone has time for a chat. The bigger rallies tend to split into small groups of friends but with such a huge number, that is inevitable. The smaller meets are brilliant, as is getting a few people together for an impromptu couple of days

Errrr... sorry you do black sheep and we (French) do black ducks compared to the white and elegant swan! In fact we call that little duck "the ugly little duck" Mind you , I did hear black sheep in french too! I must have a very selective memory lol

I'd rather be pecked by a bad tempered duck of any colour than a swan..... swans can be nasty vicious creatures. :) but ducks ..... quite the opposite :)

@Tootles hope I don't have to run far or fast..... don't do running these days. Maybe I'll just ignore you :)
