    Just had some great news from Scotland,that celebrated Scots poet and the author of the Novena trilogy (I know there are only two, but you can bet your sweet bippy there will be another one) has now been cleared by the Border controls and has been given permission to enter Liverpool for our Wednesday meet up;do not be afraid to approach him ,he has been given all the jabs!!!
    If there are any more to come ,please let me know by tomorrow afternoon. I might have to send the landlord down for another sliced loaf and a tin of corned beef,
    See you soon,

    Hi Corky, Who's going? so far I have had 45 promises and some apologies. Angelina Jolie said she'd pop in if there were any pies left and that Brad Pitt was sniffy about corned beef sandwiches ;but it will mostly be Yo,'ers both old and new,it's a big room and could easily cope with a hundred, ,so Corky come along,you would be very welcome!
    Cheers,
    BrianD

    Unless something totally unforseen happens, it now looks like I can be there.
    I have to say though that my primary motivation is that Scouse Smurf and Zappa will show up and have their slowy.

    No excuse needed, I'm just anti-social so not going

    I'm sure there'll be a fair few pics posted on here afterwards

    Nope - we'll keep all records of fun to ourselves.

    Well, a big thanks to Mr Daley for arranging the get-together. I went after work and met Greg's Dad [Joe] and Kevin again plus Brian obviously.

    Everyone is probably bladdered by now and enjoying themselves, I'm back home and having a beer pretending I'm here

    It was a pleasure to have been there amongst Brian's family and friends.

    Bloody 'ell - those Ex Merchant Seaman have many stories! A fascinating bunch and I'm glad they chose Yo! as their online home.

    I look forward to the conclusion of the tale Brian told us all, hope it gets the recognition it deserves!

    Just got back to deepest, darkest midlands. I echo Kev's sentiments - it was nice to put a few more faces to names. Discovered that Clancy only lives 4 miles away from me.

    Ged - you were missed. We kept half a sandwich for you but it eventually disappeared. Maybe next time...


    PS
    I know it is hard to believe, but tabnab is even better looking than his avatar.

    So glad to hear you all had a fine time.
    Sorry I couldn't be there. Maybe next time if you're unlucky enough

    It was a day of days, the people who turned up were so nice,conversation flowed(as did the beer) and I saw people relax in each others company.
    I'm back home in the Midlands,but my heart and mind are still up in the 'Pool.
    To meet Jimmy Black after a lapse of 60 years was tremendous, to see Big Kevin and our Kev deep in animated conversation was nice,Gregs Dad,Joe was quietly funny ,and his picture is almost true. Captain Kong and Tabnab were bloody marvellous for having made great journeys just to be and Fred the landlord proved to be a great host. There were so many there that it is hard to remeber them all , Clancy and his brother Cliff came up from Brum,Richie ,Billy and some old boys from the Vindi were there too and my kinfolk turned out en masse. The night was ended all too soon and we travellers repaired to our homes and hostelries to savour the moments. Fred ,Clancy,Cliff and we two went back to the Atlantic Towers ,where we had a nightcap before going to our rooms.
    We resolved upon a crusade to put right a bit of Liverpools History, whilst the city embarks upon the opening of an exciting new museum in 2010. we at Yo should endeavour to see that it includes the story of a true hero. I am talking about Billy Swinchin and will expand upon this further later on.
