I'm most gratified to see you making use of my "Paper Dart" image... 
I was wondering if there's any way we could wangle a front page mention for A1127116, (Aberdeen meet-up, 6th September) perhaps on a slow news day...? 
Oh, and as an aside, I found your U-space using the "Search for a friend" option... It wasn't Italicised in the search results - you might want to add that to the bug/feature list... 
Hiya, Mina!

Am glad you're gratified. 
You're lucky you saw it actually, I was going to change it last week, and forgot - it's been there ages, and I do like to change them around a bit.
I'm not sure I can pinch the Front Page section for one particlar meet-up, I'd have to speak to Abi (am typing from home to avoid washing up atm) and the others. I'll see what I can do though.
You had to search for me? 
You mean my name and number aren't in your favourites? 
Anyway, I'm not sure they are supposed to be in italics in the search, although it might make us easier to find if there are lots of Minas. Pah, the idea! I'll suggest it tomorrow, and see what the reaction is. 
Hiya, Mina!

I seem to remember the London meet getting a line on the front page... It's only fair... 
If they couldn't put the name in Italics, at least they could put the U-number in brackets afterwards... I would have recognised that when I saw it. As it was, you came top of the list, as is your rightful place.
Hiya, Mina!

The London one has the excuse of being 'official'. We've decided that there are a few too many meet-ups to put them all on the Front Page individually, but we will put the Community Events page there when the Albatross comes off for a while sometime next week.
I'll make sure that I add this meet-up to the page before then.
Hiya, Mina!
