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.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
