How Did CBF Members Compare When You Met Them?

[Scunner]

Compare as in online CBF persona and "real life" character  

I have met hundreds of CBF members. Some are exactly as they appear online and some are absolutely nothing like the person on here.

I met Des Martinson for the first time last year, he was *exactly* what I would have expected - then there is Jacqui Harvey who has a very specific personality on CBF - and is absolutely nothing like it in real life!

How did CBF members you have met measure up?  :

[Bluwise]

I have met Nichola and Volkan, which is hardly surprising given they both have restaurants.  I have also met Wordbird and her gorgeous daughter,  Highlander and Mrs H, Menthol and her fabulous mum and Slikmrs and her lovely mr. 

Everyone I have met have real-life personalities that met my expectations based on their on-line characters.  They are (no relevance in the order!)  polite, kind, generous, hilarious, forthright, ditsy, warm and welcoming - just as they are on here. 

[Jacqui Harvey]

Yes Scunner, I get the Posh and Your Majesty Handle on CBF, but now you know, as others do in Calis  I am really a down to earth Scouser who lives in (and loves) Scotland.

I have only met a few and they are probably how I imagined perhaps with the exception of yourself Scunner. I maybe got a false impression when I met you, as you may recall you were flying home that evening so would not drink and ate very little. Not how I imagine you are!

I met Jacqui and her husband last year, and didn't even recognise her from her photo, she is a nice friendly lady not at all like Camilla!!  I also met the lovely Mavis when I dropped off some chocs for the 3Cs.  The biggest surprise was Gordon A. and his charming wife, he seemed a lovely caring man, not at all like his grumpy alter ego!! Although I didn't get a chance to speak to Rimms, he was just what I expected doing his d.j. thing.  The lovely Ian comes across as a bit of a scrooge on here, and of course he is!! BUT he is a very kind, helpful man who is a font of knowledge, and a caring family man.  He can talk for England and Turkey but his stories are always amusing. Then there is the lovely Flipper and her husband Stuart who have become good friends and drinking pals.  When I think about it I have not been disappointed with anyone.

I met UBT and Mrs UBT - several hours late due to crossed wires between us - and he was just as easy to get on with as I had imagined and Mrs UBT was lovely (and he obviously doesn't deserve her).

Mrs UBT was lovely (and he obviously doesn't deserve her).

Colwyn, you sweet talkin' bugger !

You obviously caught me on one of my " off " days. !!!! ;-)

Yes sadly I am fairly dull on the day we fly home
