Funsters - What’s in a name?

Right on Jim!

If it wasn't for Jim & MHFun, I wouldn't have gone to the Malvern meet 5 years ago where Stuart (Capn Pugwash) put his little ukulele in my hand. Through the ukulele club I then started, I met Barrie and the rest is history.

Life definitely a lot more FUN, FUN, FUN!

I bought me a uke just a few weeks ago - can't remember why!
Been strumming away and teaching one of our grand daughters too. It's small enough to take anywhere and it's FUN

If it's a rally me and Siân are attending we always have stickers with us. That said we are out right now, I'm expecting some in next week. (y)

I couldn't get away with a uke so gave it away. I bought a harmonica and Jill bought me some bongos but I've never really got away with them either as yet.

Is there a Funster Out Of Tune band? :D

No @GJH but there is, or rather was The Portsmouth Sinfonia, an orchestra founded by a group of students at the Portsmouth School of Art in 1970. The Sinfonia had an unusual entrance requirement, in that players had to either be non-musicians, or if a musician, play an instrument that was entirely new to them. The one rule was they shouldn't deliberately play a wrong note. You could try resurrecting the Funsters version. :LOL:

As Eric Morecambe said " I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order" :LOL:
 
@Jim - read something on an old thread about Funster teddy bears. Do you still have them please, and if so, how do I pay for it?

Whilst parked up together in groups here in Morocco, all with our MotorhomeFun name cards, and a flag at Taghazoute (R.I.P.), I've often noticed other nations walk past our little get-togethers, smiling and sometimes stopping. Brits usually just join in!
Funsters Rule OK - best thing we ever did was join.

Yes, it really helps. I always give my occupation as *FUNSTER* to the magistrate. (y) It's a bit like being in the masons. Maybe we could have a secret sign, so we could recognise each other on meeting?? How about whipping your pants down, (when meeting other motorhoming couples), and shouting *FUNSTER* at the top of your voice? :)
 
I could volunteer as a vocalist in the choral section of the Out of Tunesters.

Contralto section, I can follow written music too !

I don’t know who coined the name first. I think we might have been ‘Funsters’ for a few weeks and somehow this turned into 'Funsters' and stuck. I’m so happy it did. It’s now become a sort of rallying call for fun loving motorhomers Europe-wide. Now it seems anyone spotted having fun anywhere near a motorhome someone passing will be heard to say 'They must be Funsters' :)

One thing I see on other forums or hear at our Fun stand at shows are people who say “There’s no way I’d want to be called a Funster.” This makes me smile. The good thing is, and I don't want to appear to be mean, but this is always said by such miserable looking people that I’m happy that the name deters them ;)

So the term somehow defines us and does it's bit to keep the miserable away. Its a win-win for the Funsters and long may it remain. Sure, we get the odd miserable bugger through the door, but, on the whole, what a fantastic happy lot Funsters are. Thank you, one and all.

Jim ... There's one more step to be done! Get Google to know what Funster means!
When I type in English (computer set on English Language), I keep having Funster underlined in red!
What an achievement if we could get the word Funster recognised and accepted by Google!
The only thing to do is to enter Funster in English and see what it says in the other languages, then, find a good equivalent and send it to "correction" to Google!
I suggest to put for the French section: Joyeux drille! ...
>BTW Google says that Funster comes from the languge called "Yorouba"... ..:LOL:

What do you think?

Why? Do you get lonely doing it on your own? :LOL:
 
I tend to think of this site as the pub I do not go to and the people in it that I do not know, I know lots of names but not the people apart from Jaws and Jim and co. etc I also partake of wildcampers but they seem to be total anarchists, but so am I.
