Stephane Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh forgot to mention something - nothing got lost - nothing was broken, not even a single glass - cigarettes and cigars didn't burn anything - the floors and carpets were as clean as before the GTG (only found 1 peanut on the floor!!!) ...and so on. TOP CLASS Guys, you are a bunch of wonderfully well educated people and you're all more than welcome anytime !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Wow, what an amazing GTG, it looks like everyone had a fantastic time Sorry I couldn't make it, too many financial commitments conspired against me. Glad everyone enjoyed Belgium though Insha'Allah* I plan to be at the next GTG * (Translates as 'God willing', 'if it is God's will') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cronsell Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Here is my favorite photo I took from the evening...this was at three in the morning!!! The genuine interest in watches stayed strong throughout the evening, even after MANY rounds of drinks! I want to say thank you to everyone, I truly enjoyed the chance to meet fellow watch enthusiasts and be welcomed into this community so warmly. I hope to see you all again soon, before my return to the United States! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfman Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 So T tell us about the reaction when you finally let on who you are. I remember that Stephane asked for our attention. He was just standing at the left of T and his half, and began with a " let me introduce you ..." Then the rumour growth among us all around .... As you have certainly already noticed, french people are not the best in foreign languages .... So i turned towards Yellowmen and asked him : sorry, but who is this guy .....
