And you need one? If you are gay i.e. homosexual why have an evening that excludes others? I'm new to this forum but I don't understand the need to exclude people from anything. I could suggest an evening of drinks for left handed ginger haired people with a twitch in their right eye and at least one wooden leg. But why would I do that? I don't know. As it's a 'gay' event then presumably it's because you want to meet other gays with the prospect of a relationship. Don't mean to be harsh but i don't get it. There must be gay forums i presume.

Declan, No-one is excluded with the obvious exception of homophobes! and only then because I'm sure most peoples idea of a pleasant evening having drinks with new friends wouldn't include trying to either defend themselves or swap pleasantries with a bigot.

Having a common interest isn't monopolised by gays when organising such events, single parents (Gingerbread), women (WI), men (lads night out) etc. None of which are generally intended for meeting prospective partners (within the group), that's not saying it couldn't happen.

I'll be going to have a laugh with a lesbian friend and my ever so heterosexual faghag, both of whom I've no intention of having a relationship with other than as friends (and bloody good ones at that).

Yes there are 'gay forums', but does that mean that gays should be restricted to those or that EDF should be for straights only ? Come along, have a laugh and if you can find a left handed ginger haired person with a twitch in their right eye and at least one wooden leg, bring them too. :)-D

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
