met up with a Grey Nomad
Permalink  

Now I know there are other real Nomads out there who also have Nomad stickers on their cars, I had the privilege yesterday of meeting up with Dave the Belmont Bear for a chat and a drive around in his Pajero Sport which is very impressive and Dave is a top bloke so keep an eye out for him and say Gday,

Thanks Dave for the friendship and great company.

I've had a sticker on my car and 1 on the van for, I reckon 2 years now and have yet to see another. We will be in Cairns for a few days from Saturday then into the Daintree for  4 months so maybe I'll see some there. Seems they are very rare and elusive. Having fun out there so all's good.

Dave, I really enjoyed meeting a fellow grey nomad and also the time that we spent comparing notes and having a chat. You forgot to mentioned I was also wearing my GN cap, too bad I forgot to put my GN shirt on - although we did remember to exchange our GN busness cards. That product you recommended to me is available at BCF in a 5ltr bottle complete with the applicator for $90 or $12 for the 300gram pressure pack.

Bru not only do we share our sticker habits but BRU has been my nickname for more than 55 years. I have to agree with you I haven't seen that many stickers either maybe people don't like to be thought of as being grey or something confuse.

Cheers BB

Well done AT, always good to meet up with fellow forumites, for the first time or a few times.

Agree with Doug above, it is always good to meet other members of the forum

As we are all keyboard warriors of one sort or another, in the eyes of others
It is very easy to get stereotyped

Meeting a person, gives a much better idea of their personality, helpfulness, or otherwise

Reading some of my own posts, I could easily be stereotyped as a serious thinking, teetotaling wowser, unhumorous, obsessive-compulsive disorder rubbish cleaner, idiot, type poster

In real life (this is only my opinion, so I could be wrong)
I consider myself to be just a normal person, (probably scruffier than some), who takes things as I see them, and tries to be helpful, rather than hindering
