May have to bail on this one now. :'( Couple of things have cropped up quickly work wise. May still be able to make it, but essentially I won't fully know until about 7ish!

Probably will to make life easy will skip this one and will look forward to the next.

I don't usually get home until around 7:30, but will get to the EDT as soon as I can. How will I recognise you all though?!


I did meet Mike P once (he may or may not remember!) but it sounds like he will not be at the EDT...

georgia has got blond hair (short bob last time I met her) and a pretty smile

I have brown shoulder length hair, (female) and will be wearing a ochre, black and white leaf print dress over black leggings! (well that's what I am wearing now!)


don't know anyone else


how will we recognise you!

xxcc

Short(ish) brown hair... early thirties but look about fifteen... black shirt and jeans (probably).


HAL9000 - how about you? I know you usually look like this...

...but how will we recognise your human incarnation?

Aww - really annoyed i can't make this one especially as I haven't been to Tandoori Night as yet.... but as Mr Cat said I've been lucky enough to win tickets to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert for tonight so I'm off to the theatre to camp it up!

Have fun x

I asked the same question when i joined back in april asking how I would spot anyone. Sean put a link with lots of photos from previous meet-ups. I think it was in the May drinks thread.


I'm hoping to come tonight (if thats ok that is!) I just can't confirm to this afternoon.

skidmarks - Read back on the thread to see if anyone has since said they can't make it since yesterday evening when the table was booked - then perhaps confirm you are taking their seat on this thread? Otherwise turn up and take a chance they can squeeze you in. I've been to 2 in the past and I'd say worth a chance.


Can't make this month, but will try next time out.

That photograph was taken in 2001 (it's one of my favourites - I was only nine then) so just imagine me eight years older. Alas, my human incarnation will not be until 3001.

skidmarks and anyone else worried about recognising people...


I have often PMd peolpe my mobile number if I am going to be at a drinks or curry so that people can text/ring me when they get there and aren't keen on asking a group of randoms. I won't be there tonight but hopefully someone else will oblige


If they don't - just go anyway... curry nights are always good craic

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
