Gay men? Rainbow drinks?

[Bellenden Belle]

I have a darling friend who is attending EDF drinks with me tonight... as part of my attempt to lure him from Sheffield to be my partner-in-crime in London.

Now - the deal-breaker, well not really - but a slight concern expresed to me is whether or not he is likely to meet the man of his dreams in East Dulwich. (Can I add that he has cheekbones to die for, and is himself the man of many men's dreams) .... and so I am wondering if Rainbow drinks do still exist? Certainly it was an idea knocking around last year .... did they happen, are they still happening ... and if so, can someone new join your gang?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Not sure about the rainbow drinks but he'll fit right in tonight - plenty of Sheffield connections amongst the forumites

[Bellenden Belle]

Oh gosh, I absolutely know he will fit in .... he's great and gets on with everyone...

Vauxhall isn't far away.

He can meet various men of his dreams - several times a week - if he moves down from Sheffield.

[KalamityKel]

And Victoria has many interesting places to fall into too...

[mockney piers]

Beckham? Yeah, I heard those rumours too Kel.

::o well I guess on reflection... :-$

Sunday breakfast opening at "Fire", although that seems to be rather more GHB and ketamine than drinks and light-hearted chat with perfect man...

I'll let you know - we'll be there next weekend.

Word has it that there are plans afoot for Fire to 'go straight', as it happens.. what is the world coming to?!

[bignumber5]

my God, next thing it'll be drug free... Some things are just tradition and should not be interfered with ;-)

[KalamityKel]

u know there's no such thing as a perfect man right?

[cdonline]

It's been said many times, I was in the Rye yesterday and was surprised just how many homos were in attendance.

Fire is a bit of a shithole. The same music played over and over again while people get completely off their nut on K. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

[*Bob*]

Shithole is good.

Who wants to go to a club with chrome in the bogs, a VIP area and people who don't know how to enjoy themselves?

Not me.

Oh KalamityKel my love - I know only too well ... But if there was such a thing as a perfect man he would of course be gay...

Sigh.

Are you allowed to say Homos these days, I thought that was not considered PC. Aren't we supposed to say gay??

[dulwichmum]

In the name of God! How incredibly un pc to use such a phrase, how shallow and crass!

What does he earn Bellenden Belle, let him lay out his stall so that we can assess his true partner potential.

I use the term 'homo' all the time. I call my friends it, I call myself it, I am a homo.

[atila the gooner]

Fair enough, just thought I'd ask.

It's a potential minefield, Attila.

'Gay' is always your best bet at the time of writing. 'Gays' is ok too, but not 'The Gays' - which isn't.

'Queer' is fine too (since 'Queer as Folk' has been aired - you can't really complain) - but it sounds better coming from the gays themselves, not normal people.

'Bummer' is (apparently) ok if you listen Chris Moyles and read FHM. So they say.

'Faggot' is still out though, I'm afraid - though still very popular in many parts of America.

Personally I think it's time that 'fruit' made a comeback.

Really?!?!!!

Gosh - what a mistake!! Reading it back, you might think I'd done it on purpose!!!

Now you mention is, I've spotted another error in my posting.

I accidentally referred to straight people as 'normal people' as well!! Which was very wrong of me, because it implies that the gays aren't 'normal'.

Sorry everyone.

I know. It was Oxford's loss - not mine.
