I'll add my welcome to you, Dramaticat.
I knew you were one of us as soon as I saw the intriguing avatar to match the name

. You'll find quite a number of cat-lovers lurking amongst us.
What fun that you met mbh on his way to our Meet - and congratulations on your persistence in finding Puzzlebrains. You will clearly flourish in your explorations of the tortuous maze of puzzles before you
But beware ....... that happy smiling jester is just a pretty mask with a notorious fiend lurking behind it - and I should know

Wulfruna! I think you need to explain your relationship

I'm so glad you said that, Gill!! That exact same thought popped into my head.

How could I resist a genuine Venetian carnival mask that was clearly made just for Scurra

I keep telling you - threaten to stop feeding him when he visits...

Starvation is a jolly good way of focussing the mind...

Ahhhhh - you need more Geordie lads down in Sunny Devon

I still think you're a cutie, but our paths are not likely to cross with train travel.

Now that's a great shame. I just know you two would hit it off in a big way! (Both mad as hatters and both with a lovely sense of humour - oh, AND both of you enjoy a good dance!!). Shame about the geography!!

You couldn't get much further apart in England if you tried...

Hi dramaticat, nice to have you aboard.
Now (not wishing to hijack) but what about strange women who text men on trains Bunny?

Oh yes, and it wasn't just me, was it? (SparkOut ended up having a random conversation with my friend Janet too!!)

Not much dancing going on here at the mo class has been shifted to Tuesday afternoon oh and lack of dance partner doesn't help!
You never know I could decided to just sit on trains up north till I find this strange man, sound like a project for next holiday

You stick with that dress-code and I'll spot you. [I'll see your wings peeping over the top of the chairs..... what did you THINK I was talking about?

Well...maybe....but amazingly there are regular direct trains from Newcastle to Exeter

How's about it Laddie? Take a trip to Devon and find - not just one but TWO crazy ladies waiting for you

(Not to mention a rabbit if she stopped off on her way to Cornwall....)

That is genuinely tempting - nothing crazy about any of you
The informtion about direct trains needed some looking into, and I thought you were wrong till I realized that there was an extra 3-minute train ride being added on to get from St David's to the Central station. £140 return sounds like a lot until you take off the price of petrol and add in the fact someone else is driving the 370 miles each way instead of me

I could probably get some puzzling done in 6.5 hours as well
I've never been to that part of the country, and it is on my list for
"for the future".

I'd like to go very south too. And there is one more for that list. Dramaticat is not too far away but I wont divulge where she lives- I'll leave that for her.
