I just saw this, too late I think:S

hey yeah, you are a little late but we can repeat this at Friday evening, so i will pm. you if we gather again

such meetings just must be on continuing basis

Oh ... and I was in England this week! Let´s have another one when I am back in Istanbul!

You should´ve popped in for a cuppa!

 Where are you ... I don´t fly back till Sunday night?

Who are meeting with whom now? I dont understand

I´m in Swindon-are you anywhere close to there?

For those who can´t make Istanbul - Swindon awaits you!  

It´s not quite as exotic but it´s home-and we do have ´the magic roundabout´ !

Quoting sonunda

 Woah! How do you navigate that thing!!  Its the stuff of driving nightmares haha

Hehe-you can go round any way you want,across the middle or around the outside. Some of my friends do anything they can to avoid it.

This is my nightmare roundabout.  The Walkinstown roundabout, it´s infamous here! I hate using it, but I have to a fair bit.  When you do use it, you literally have to close your eyes, put ur foot down and pray to god that you make it to the otherside intact haha

 I don´t blame them!  It makes me nervous just looking at it haha

Oooooh that looks scary too! I´d probably keep my eyes open though!

 haha yea, that could be a wise move.

I wonder what ´genius´ comes up with these junctions haha

It´s got to be a man.

 Haha I think you could be right there canim.... a mad man most probably

Or maybe they just handed a kid a spirograph and a bunch of markers and let him design them haha, I often think they must have when I´m driving on the roads of Dublins ´fair´ city haha

How did the meeting go? Any pictures..?

 I wonder who throught of this idea!! A team of no win no fee companies
