How about a buddy badge? Anyone who visits your abode gets one, then we can all walk about thinking I know them, guess who?!! We can have a message board outside to let everyone know we've arrived and where we are at. Ha.ha.
You should check out the calendar and see who's gonna be there and when, write a list and see if you can guess who's who......(now there's a good game for us all)
hey now your talking! can you see us all walking about nudging one another going is that so and so, clip board in hand marking off the names. Ha. ha. No I am no good at names only faces, and you know who would win do'nt you!! What about a forum buddy night? I bet loads would turn up just to be nosy if nothing else! I reckon we would make good reps Maggie. Ha. ha. Where do we sign up to make our fortune.
I have to admit at first I was nervous about going up to folks and asking them if they were so and so from the website, but luckily Harold & Viv have they're piccies on their member details so they were very easy to recognise. I still left it a while before I interrupted their evening meal, but I'm really glad I did do, its great meeting up!
How about personalised Arillas addict T-shirts with forum name on the back like on football shirts? Then we could be "Team Arillas F" :)
Don't think u can really miss me :P
I've seen them play volleyball, do you reckon they play football that way? if so we had better not call ourselves football team! ha.ha. mind you I might be alright, footballers wife. Like the idea though.
I was a bit embarassed last year as when I went to the Brouklis the first time Dimitris guessed who I was (my hair was a big give away) and then when more visitors arrived at our accommodation they asked if it was me... think I will dye my hair a different colour before I go or it might change once I get in the pool anyway (it has gone a really dirty shade of green before).
I worked out who you were last year.

Haha yea I got the same thing. Plus drunk and unruely forum members acosting us :P
(joking)
Ha ha!! So did Brenda.... she was expecting a tall, young, long legged slim blonde! And I am definately not that! Short, fat, fifty's blonde... bit of a disappointment... shall have to change my name to something else... any ideas (that arent offensive that is). I will have the Trading Standards after me!!!
Well Viv did ask me why I was called Hels Bels, (my name is Helen) firstly my nickname is Ellie, but that had already been used, secondly, my dad always used to say hels bels when I was in trouble, and thirdly I didn't think the nickname my sister and uncle gave me was appropriate........'smelly ellie with the big fat belly' isn't exactly endearing, even thought the description may be more accurate! ha ha.
My goodness, I'm sharing everything on this site!
Lasy year when we were dining in the brouklis, Dimitris pointed out that 'Fiona' was sat on the next table so that was really nice. Other than that, i never got recognised as far as I know! Either that or people made a special effort to avoid me, which was probably more the case, haha!
Cheryl recognised me. I didn't put two and two together about her (or anyone else). My excuse is that she is far better looking than her picture on the site!!

You could always call yourself waterbaby instead of blondegirl.
Very funny Lisa!!!! LOL
I love meeting people from the forum when you have spoken to someone for a long time you feel as if you know them and it is sometimes quite funny to see if their personality matches the one you thought. By the way you have all turned out to be nice so far. ;-) Viv
Haha ive been giggling reading all these, it was so funny when i was out there, meeting the people off the forum is really nice.
One evening Alyvin came up to The Bardis Sun looking for me, im not sure where she was staying, unfortunately i had a headache and had already headed off to bed after dinner, but the next morning Wendy was saying she was going to become my bodyguard what with all these people that wanted to meet me, it was very nice though, just a shame i missed her.
Then on the Sunday before we were due to fly home, Janis and Barry came up to me asking if i was smiffy, it feels a bit like youre famous i suppose haha!!
Cheers, Nick - just read your post! We might get to have that drink sometime soon in Arillas!
Famous at last hey Smiffy - Whats it like? ;)
Well they say everyone has their 15 minutes!! Its nice cos everyone was really friendly, nice to put faces to names.
Well I only got to meet one forum member, I did try to look out for more but I always leave my brain at home when I pack! It was lovely to meet eggy and wife at the taverna we all frequent, Loved the lunch Dimitris, sorry we did not visit too often I got blisters! (ahh!) Maybe see a few more of you soon.
