The Lounge Is The Best Place To Be Because.........

[aquarius moon]

I have no connection with the Family Room (kids are all grown up) or Items Wanted (have nothing anyone would want) or For Sale (I sold anything worth anything years ago) or What's on in ED (hardly ever go anywhere)

General ED news/gossip, I do post here but find a lot of the threads boring, repetitive and forever being taken over by trolls.

The lounge is the best place to be because, yes, it does have a boy's club (agree with RPC) and being female I'll never belong to that.

BUT..... everyone that posts in it, boys club especially are the most entertaining posters on the whole forum & I always enjoy reading/smiling at what they've written.

Plus I can talk about football and The X Factor and all kinds of stuff that no-one outside the lounge is remotely interested in, in a relaxed & friendly atmosphere.

Is it a "boy's club" though?

I didn't know you were female, AM. How many other posters are there that everyone just assumes are male out there?

It could actually be a girl's club for all we know!

[Jah Lush]

Non-specific gender club?

Thinking you were a bearded Zappa fan obvs!

Par for the course AqM - I was thought female in some quarters early doors.

It was the female lounge contingent (posters like KTNumbers, Laddymuck, RosieH, LadyD, DJKQ, Sue (ooh, shouldn't put them next to each other), Moos, and many others that encouraged me to post in the lounge first off (and there are still some whose gender I am unsure of)- if it had been all-male I may have avoided it.

I remember starting a thread a few years ago entitled 'Are you a he or a she?' or something similar because I couldn't figure out the gender of certain regulars.

Even though I admitted to being a 'she' most people didn't want to admit to being anything. I think they prefer to create an element of mystery.

Some people's names are a bit of a giveaway. For example Bob implies male, although that could be what she does.

[Loz]

I'm confused - I thought *Bob* was a she?. Never quite figured out Huguenot, either.

[Alan Medic]

There's *Bob* and then there's bob. Don't confuse the two.

[LadyDeliah]

Hugo is a guy.

Thanks for the big-up Maxxi :-)

Is that bob or is that bob s? or are there 3 bobs? (or 15p)

[red devil]

There's a bob who signs himself Bob S, and there's *Bob* who doesn't, so I make that 4 tanners...

[maxxi]

Where's Rowan Atkinson when you need him?

[Loz]

Yep, maxxi, they're all really called 'Kate' in real life.

[Alan Medic]

Anyone a half-crown of Bobs? Going......
