yes surreal experience
Hi Paul,
glad you had such a great time, you come away back to everyday life thinking did all that really happen, and may I add your machines look great too Mark. Funny it wasn't till I met up with Matchboxpaul I even knew any washing machine model numbers, I knew the machines inside and out but never thought about that side of things, so I'm slowly getting to know my A3310s from my T5044s lol.
Yes very like the first time you talked to another Gay man, everything is just so exciting and easy going, I know distance is often an obstical but it's always worth making the effort to meet up with other washer friends if you get the chance, theres a lot of us about.
I remember a few years ago now going to meet someone who I knew loves washing machines, I was so excited on the way, I was like a child on christmas morning, and when I got there and the hoovermatic was at the sink ready for action , I don't know how I didn't pass out with happiness.
Deffinatly Its a great thing to have a few of your favourite machines, but the real fun comes when you can meet up and share them with each other. I suppose saying that if anyones passing through south wales and fancies a chat/wash get in touch.
Hi Pedro, your dreams are definatly not odd, I have many recurring dreams, one I can share lol, Its bin day and as i turn the corner someone is clearing a house and in the street are a selection of electricals I've always wanted and never found, washers vacs mowers etc, don't know which to go for first, I get to the point of actually touching an item and I wake up, I'm then really peeved as these dreams seem so vivid at the time it's hard to believe they are not real.
In terms of meeting people, perhaps if your travelling round the country at any time, maybe put up a thread asking if anyone is in that area to meet up for a drink and a chat, just as a suggestion. Why not a weekend break with an alteria motive lol.
One last thought, once you've met other washer friends, every time you do some laundry or see a classsic appliance you real feel part of some something bigger, and think what machines may be in use at that time, several of us could all be suds returning at the same time lol. Oh well sentimental old me.
Have a great sunday
Mathew
