I'm not sure Quids.


'Y' is normally appended to nouns to turn them into adjectives. The consequent word means 'having the condition or quality' of the original noun.


Hence a 'groupy' person, would be a person with the quality of a group. Not quite this context.


In 'groupie', I believe that the 'ie' is to signify a dimunitive (reductive) quality - as in 'one part of a group, not the whole'.


Same dimmunitive quality found in laddie, lassie, hoodie, mountie, junkie, oldie, aussie, commie, goalie etc.


If all else fails, go for common usage. 'Groupy' won't find any references to Groupies, as the word was first used in the lates 60s in pop literature, and was spelt groupie.

Its not a very big pub so look for the largest group in the place. We also normally tell the bar staff who we are, and in previous forum drinks threads there are links to photos.


Also - if you look for a blonde woman attached to a large glass of Pinot Grigio - that will be Georgia :))

      DVLA Licence Renewal

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By ianr · Posted

      That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
