We have quite a number of new CBF members (even though we are post quiet) and it has been a long time since we have done one of these "Getting to know you" topics.
They are based on general rubbish so don't feel it is information gathering, just a bit of fun so we get to know each other a tiny bit better.
So please join in, it is interesting to see the replies :D
1. What was your first ever pay cheque/wage packet/salary payment?
2. And working where/as what?
3. What car did you pass your test in?
4. And the first car you owned?
5. Where was your first holiday as a child?
6. And your first holiday you paid for/without your parents?
7. Where exactly did you meet your partner/significant other?
8. Your first part time job as a schoolchild?
9. Your first full time job?
10. Where did you stay the first time you visited Calis/Fethiye?
11. Who was the first CBF member you ever met?
12. If you could bring a past Calis/Fethiye long lost bar/restaurant back, which one?
13. Other than Turkey, which 3 destinations hold the biggest places in your heart?
14. If you could choose any hotel/villa for your next visit to Calis/Fethiye, money no object, where would it be?
15. One night in Calis/Fethiye - where are you eating?
