4 years ago Vodaphone had a special deal for new members where all new people could SMS in their 'SMS club' for free for 3 months. I met my Cheryl in there amongst the thousands. Then we converted to phone calls for a few months then she flew down here so we could meet. The rest is History. :thumbsup:

I met my wife when we were 15.

My cousins and I were playing backyard cricket at a party.
She came downstairs and wanted to bat. I was the bowler.

Well she hit me for a SIX as I bowled her out.

Now we almost have our own cricket team.

:love2:

[xstream]

Blind Date!
They warned me not to wear dark glasses. :lol:

[davidpretorius]

well ken, if you keep "picking up" with vodafone, you would have got in trouble wiiith cheryl!!!!

[h0ughy]

thats so sweet, my wife hated me at first but we ended up being kindred souls, and completely opposite, keeps everything on the toes so to speak. :P :prey2:

[h0ughy]

SO technology has a lot to answer for doesn't it ;) .

My wife let me store few computers at her house on the proviso that she be able to use one. this was whle my parents house was being rebuilt. She had spent 12 hours typing out a thesis to hand in the next day (she is a teacher now ) and the PC froze on her. She rang me and I turned up and spent the next 5 hours redoing her thesis after recovering what I could. Since then our friendship grew to the point where we liked each other a lot. then life moves on and we eventually got married and had two misfits, ah children! :prey:

[ballaratdragons]

Yep, Houghy's wife hates Astronomy, Photography, Computers, Houghy, Forums . . . :lol:

[Wombat_In_Space]

Well I met Toni over the CB radio 13 years ago and we are still going strong.

[davidpretorius]

don't forget the naglers!!

[ballaratdragons]

What, still going strong over the radio? :lol:

[h0ughy]

AAAAAAHHH, yes especially the forums. She lies on the lounge after dinner and after the kids have been packed off to bed and we watch the recorded 6pm news. she fall asleep and i just play with the laptop watching the TV ;)

[h0ughy]

Breaker Breaker, thats great news! :nerd: Over

[Dave47tuc]

I met the boss at her friends 21st.

12.5 years (who's counting) 3 kids later, boy I need some R&R at Snake Valley. :P

[ballaratdragons]

Dave, the bad news is she found my phone number in Aust Sky & Tel and rang me! She & the kids are coming too!!

Oops, I'm not supposed to tell you :scared:

Quick Moderators, delete this before Dave reads it, . Hurry!!!!

[Dave47tuc]

[toetoe]

I was playing in a band at a party 23 years ago and soon as we met, well the rest is history. :love: :2thumbs:

[ballaratdragons]

Speaking of bands!

What is a Drummer?

Someone that hangs around with musicians :lol:

[RB]

When will your parents house be finished houghy?

:confuse3:

[toetoe]

Good one Ken. :)

[Mick]

At the pub, I was full and Fiona gave me her phone number on a dollar note. My mate spent the money on a stubby that night (dollar night), lucky he has a good memory. That was 21 years ago, lucky for me that you could get a stubby and a bride for a dollar back then. :)

[Brendan]

you got caught that way too :scared: ,


A friend from school set me up with my wife to be, our first date was half blind.

I was blind, she had already seen me in a photo :wink2: I don't think she was wearing her glasses at the time.

[h0ughy]

that was 15 years ago

[RB]

:nerd: :P :poke: :rofl:

[Astroman]

I used to work with my better half, she was going out with a workmate at the time, well to cut a long story short, we have been almost happily married for 5 years 2 great boys.

[acropolite]

I noticed HRH Liz outside her place of employment, then spotted her again some time later at the supermarket. I asked a friend who worked at the same store to put in a good word for me, the rest is history. That was in 1987. Turned out she lived around 100 metres, as the crow flies, from my house. Small world....:D

[Stu]

My wife and I met at a singles party :drink: that we both didn't really want to go to.

Luckily we both decided to turn up! :love2:

[gaa_ian]

I dont know what the "Other" Category is but it seems like a good way to meet a partner !
For me it was at a fundraising event I was doing, almost 20yrs ago !
How time flies when your having Kids, Morgage etc, etc ...

[ballaratdragons]

Ian, my 'other' was the mobile phone SMS system. There wasn't any category for it, so it was the closest.

Now, was that a 'Fundraising' or 'Funraising' event! Answer carefully, she might read this! :lol:

[gaa_ian]

Actually, a bit of both ;)

[johnno]

Hi All,
I met Kathy when I moved next door to her in Bendigo Vic,She was 17,I was 23,I am now almost 57,She of course hasn't aged.
I hope she reads this,I need some new gear.

Regards.John

[Stu]

That's the way Johnno! It works for me too!

Except last night when I came home she said "I went to your site and saw the poll you did about hogging the computer!".

She spent the rest of the night giving me **** with her friends on MSN messinger. I could hear them laughing over the internet...or maybe they where laughing because when one of her friends asked me if I was excited, I said "About the star party? yeah!". It turned out that she was asking if I was excited about them coming down to Melbourne...

Some days the universe just bats for the other side...

[anna]

As I recall, when you met "the best thing thats ever happened to you",
it was night time. You were quite sober, and you were definitely not
wearing dark glasses.

[davidpretorius]

S P R U N G!!!!

run Xtream, run!!!!

[ving]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Stu]

This site has been infiltrated! :scared: :help3:

It is no longer a safe haven for the astromony boys club! :sad:

[RB]

Who left the door open?

:doh:

[davidpretorius]

i always want to quote those movies, but not sure who will know what i am talking about??

[iceman]

I love those movies Dave, umm they're my kids movies of course :)

I met Kate about 11 years ago at a nightclub, she was a friend of my friends girlfriend.

Been married about 7 years (I think?), 3 kids later...

[ving]

monsters inc rocks! :D

[Librarian64]

I stopped at my partner Lilly's garage sale and bought a bird water whistle thingy. The rest is history. I still keep the water whistle on my bookcase.
:love:

[cahullian]

I met my wife at work and at the pub. We both worked there and she bought me a Golden Rough. What can I say? Don't under estimate the power of the Goldn Rough. She had me hooked from then on in. She is an early bird and I am a night owl but it seems to work ok for us as we have been married for 18 years now and have 3 teenage kids 2 dogs 2 cats and a telescope ;)

But we know what she was really doing, don't we? :help3:

[davidpretorius]
