Was it "Hello dear, is this your husband's car?"... As an example, yesterday, I fumbled my way through saying hello to Scalded Cat for the first time and made a right muff of it...

. And sometimes it's a bit embarrassing trying to introduce yourself to total strangers who may have no idea who you are despite having made some posts ahead of the event
Not quite, it was more like "hello, you're a girl...."Was it "Hello dear, is this your husband's car?"
I think this reads better...Or pink. Harry's already got some. She clashed with the dreadful pink Ferrari.
So true.It frequently surprises me to find people with a Maserati who have never heard of the forum. Surely if you buy a Mas you do a Google search for 'other Maserati idiots' almost immediately.
Girl..... I really like that! Makes me sound about 21.Not quite, it was more like "hello, you're a girl...."
Yep, you're right. Dreadful may not be a strong enough word though.I think this reads better...
Oh wow. I 'd have said hello. I was in the Bordeaux Pontevecchio (pronounced "maroon") QP just down from you, but we never met.And I was there but completely unaware that you forum chaps had arranged a mob attendance!
My fault entirely for not frequenting the forum very often, or paying attention when I do.
I was admiring your car. I like the colour.Oh wow. I 'd have said hello. I was in the Bordeaux Pontevecchio (pronounced "maroon") QP just down from you, but we never met.
Lets hear it for Harry's flagpole.

Helen, your offer has been accepted and you have been promoted to event logistics directorI still think we should all meet at an allotted time for introductions at these functions. Eg gather at this point at 10am for 30 minutes. Then you always have the option of spotting the rabble at a distance and heading off in a different direction.
Sorry, who are you?I end up wondering if I should introduce myself to people I met years before. I have a terrible memory for people.....

I don’t mind doing that if I’m going to the actual event. But I will need minions to do all the dirty work when I’m off galavanting.Helen, your offer has been accepted and you have been promoted to event logistics director
