Thats the problem with us irish. . We all sound the same. .


i quite fancy popping along for one if only to meet some people who feel too shy to attend a bigger do


I dont think the gay drinks evening is exclusive as such. . Consider it a theme rather than an invite and the Idea of a ginger left handed evening doesnt sound so implausible

> the Idea of a ginger left handed

> evening doesnt sound so implausible


Drat - I am left handed but not ginger haired. How about left handed male dyslexic knitters? (I am all of those)


Seriously, when the idea of Gay Drinks was mentioned some time back I wondered why it was needed and felt it a bit exclusive. I agree with Sean's idea that it is a theme, I now feel happier with the idea of going though havent quite plucked up the nerve.

Well said Boosboss!


I am in a long-term relationship and intend to stay that way! But am interested to meet other gay & lesbian people as we often tend to have a lot in common, facing similar situations in life - just like any other minority group.

If you're not in a minority yourself, you wouldn't know. That's not meant to be rude, it's just the way it is.

My opinion for what it is worth is that we are all in a minority......of one. We arrive here on our own and we leave on our own. It's an individual path and sometimes I think that surrounding ourselves by 'like minded people' can disadvantage us if what we have in common allows us to forget that. However if that doesn't occur to you (not you personally James)then we can comfort ourselves in what the world has to offer without ever wondering why are we here or even is there an answer to that question.

I go away for three weeks and some lass called Louise is causing mayhem in the lounge about white stuff (I laughed so much I thought I was going to have an 'accident') and some guy called Declan is going on some philosophical speel about how we are all born alone in a gay drinks thread.


WTF?


Anyway - Rye drinks... I went. Mikese22 went and someone else (a recruitee from gaydar who hasn't even heard of the EDF (*shock*)) went. No other bu@@er turned up!


Should we aim for a Thursday evening instead? And maybe somwhere on LL?

I meant to - I really did. If only to catch up on Kilimanjaroan (sp?) tales but work overtook (and it is rare for me to miss any drinks to be fair)


Plus I think many forumites were recovering from the big forum session at The Plough on Friday


Was the Rye quiet - I was looking forward to going there as I hadn't been in for a while

Not a twin. My mother was there, as was a nurse.


Unless you want to get into a tedious descartian discussion on whether the mother and nurse were actually there, in which case I put up my hands and merrily say of course you can only know that you exist. That being the case, I will leave you to your self-debate whilst the rest of us (who may, or may not, exist - but strangely we are not too fussed about that) are down the pub having a (metaphysical or physical - again, we do not much care) pint.

What is strange is that that you think everyone thinks the same way as you do. The rest of you are down the pub having a pint leaving me to self-debate. I bet you have your own pint though unless of course there is comfort to be found in sharing one using straws!Either way I'll leave you too it. I much prefer wine.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
