just saying hello

[Michael Palaeologus]

(Whispering) There, there old boy, lets get you back to your room ....

[annaj]

Welcome Liz84

I'm not really new, but I'm very quiet and only really brave enough to post on really safe subjects.

My advice would be get stuck in and be much braver than me!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Pish and tush Annaj your posts are robust and finely crafted - you've even used rude words.

[SeanMacGabhann]

but she did take, like, eleven drink-ups to pluck up the courage to attend... ;-)

[Michael Palaeologus]

But when she did she managed to shock CWALD to silence - what an entrance!

[Asset]

I'm intrigued, what did she say?

Hello Liz

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

haha and she looks so sweet too!

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I could never repeat it, my old Nan would turn in her grave.

[dulwichmum]

Hi Liz (blows kiss), can I offer you a drink? I have wandered out of the quiet room as no-one seems to come in to talk any more... (staggers about a bit and collapses behind armchair).

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

From shock or booze?

[annaj]

I couldn't possibly say Asset, wouldn't want to risk offending CWALD again. ;-)

Sean, it did take me a while, but was defintely worth it in the end. I'll be there again this month and I'd encourage all newbies and lurkers to be brave and give it a go.

[SeanMacGabhann]

indeed Annaj - sure, weren't we all lurkers and newbies once (12 months, 3400 posts and 2 livers ago, may the lord have mercy on me)

[PeckhamRose]

Repeating question: Can we have a welcome room?

Welcome new folk.

Your life as you knew it is over.

Welcome to the forum. ;)

[bluecanary]

I'm quite new and hope I will be forgiven for having posted previously without saying hello!

Hello!

[mockney piers]

well howdy, though just coming on is usually greeting enough, I wouldn't worry BC.

[citizenED]

My first post: "Finches in Forest Hill have a room at the back for bike repairs - it's behind the station on Perry Vale. 25 - 29 Perry Vale, Forest Hill,"

No sign of a hello nor nothing. Where on earth were my manners!

[Brendan]

I think I swore in mine. :-$

[mockney piers]

back in the distant past..

"@kk - you should try Buddha Jazz (terrible name I know) on Grove lane, other side of dog kennel hill by the george. It's an eastern fusion place with thai, vietnamese & japanese. very friendly and jolly nice. Yeah SE5, but not very far away."

No hello neither, but then I think I knew 5 out of 8* people on it at the time ;)

*That's actual numbers rather than a fraction ;-)

[annaj]

Bluecanary, is you name one word spelt L I T E and your story infinite?

[Michael Palaeologus]

My first post:

"Wotcha. Can a newbie parachute in on the 27th?"

Inviting myself to an early EDF Drinks meeting.

Somethings do not change. It was a bit scary, but worked out well.

[embellina]

I didn't say hello either - and I think I posted wanting something. Even ruder!

[annaj]

So, I take it I'm the only They Might Be Giants fan then?

*tumble weed rolls by*

:-$

[Jah Lush]

Might be

[annaj]

Oh come on. You must remember this...

ps first time I've tried this whole link to You Tube thing, might have got it wrong!

[SeanMacGabhann]

ever since they did that song with Timmmaayyyyyy on South Park..... possibly

Jan 07 - was this really my first post?

"Interesting idea.. plenty of different opinions on here to make it lively. Technically we should go the the Best Bar and then on for some food at the Best Indian Restaurant - but I suspect we would never agree

For what it's worth my vote for a meeting place would be Liqourish"

No wonder Keef never spoke to me - then again Liqourish was about to hit a steep decline (although another visit last weekend suggests recent improvements are still in place)
