gay girlies

[SeanMacGabhann]

Unless I've read this wrong, some clarity

The regular forumites on here meet up once a month or so for a drink up in a local bar - the next one is on Friday at the Gowlett

It's not Rainbow drink-up - it is just every man, woman and Claphamite for themselves, but Keiths suggestion of coming along anyway is a good one - if all of the recently declared gay members come along and meet up for the first time it should give everyone enough confidence to strike up a related-evening.

If you didn't know about the regular drinks then that's another reason to come along and get to meet everyone and catch up on the gossip - don't worry you won't remember a thing the next day ;-)

[Beej]

Didn't know about the general piss up - we're there! So it's at the Gowlett this Friday? Nice one. Do you all stand out automaticaly or do we all get to where name badges :-S

[Keef]

Most likely it'll be the biggest group...

Alas I'll miss this Friday, but they are usually nice evenings, with a nice bunch :)-D

[mattindulwich18]

Keep me posted on the next one - really want to meet some like minded locals

[SeanMacGabhann]

I went to my first one 2 months ago and sussed out pretty quickly which group it was - at the next one I kept an eye out for some of the new people who said they would come and so I was able to entrap.. er I mean encourage them to join us

(worse - they were able to guess who I was as well- I'm still spooked by that ;-) )

[James]

I'd like to come on Friday too but can't make it, will try the next one. Bizarrely I know quite a few lesbians locally but no other gay blokes (apart from my partner obviously!)

[mattindulwich18]

Hi James

well I am in East Dulwich so at least you know one other gay guy from ED apart from your partner even though its only in cyberspace!!

[Mark]

Whoever gets there first says to the people behind the bar "if anyone asks for the forum crowd point them over towards me", then if you're new you just ask behind the bar where the forum crowd are. Brilliant in it's simplicity.

Here's the thread about the next EDF drinks

[James]

True. Pleased to (virtually) meet you Matt! Maybe see you at the next forum do type thing.

[mattindulwich18]

James yes definately now that I am on the forum.

[mikese22]

yes to 1st and yes to 4th!

and me!

I can't make it on Friday alas but I think the plan is to meet up for pink drinks (nobody got the rainbow reference :'() probably (hopefully) next week.

I think we have GiddyGecko, Nikster, me:)), MikeSE22, James, Beej and err Matt (who may - or may not - be 18) and can't remember who else to meet up (dragging along other pink friends). Intriguing that there are so many gay men on a gay girlie thread, but there you go.

How's about 6th June?

Does it clash with the WI?

Rye?

[mattindulwich18]

Hi Guys

I can make the 6th after 9pm...

I wish I was 18!!! I am 33

[Nero]

Matt. I was very well disposed to you. Then you complained you were 33. And my benevolent heart she did turn to carbon. If only you knew what it was like for me, a Peter Pan Poppinjay, prematurely grey, to hear someone bemoan such a youthful year-tally. I can hardly stomach my advocaat and Eccles Cake. What would Elsie Tanner do? Hmmmm. Leave me be for a few mins. I should recover. Might even make it to the drinks on Friday. Nero

[badger]

Nero - you not joining us for drinks on 6th? or will you be at a WI meet?

[giddygecko]

Hey Badger

The 6th is better for me & Nikster will be back then too, although I will be on lates again next week so maybe not.... boohoo. I will be going down to Sunny S'arfend on Friday for the weekend to see my folks so I cant make the Gowlett :'(. I am sure we will all meet up one gorgeous sunny evening somewhere soon. London Pride is on the 30th June too which is not too far away if we can meet before then & if anyone wants to go along to the march or following events at least we will kinda know each other by then.

Cheers GG

[mattindulwich18]

I look forward to finally meeting some local gays very soon, see you do exist here in ED.

[mattindulwich18]

When are the next Rainbow drinks after 6th June?

[giddygecko]

:'( Hmmmmmmmm just checked my rota & I am on a late shift on 6th so I cant make that one either but I am looking forward to meeting you all soon.

Cheers GG

[badger]

Okay - so GG can't make it on Weds and haven't heard from the Nikster for a while... I'm going to be stuck at work (sigh).

Are all the boys still keen? I think Mikese22 is... If so, I suggest you all meet at the Rye tomorrow evening and report back. ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Are non-rainbowites allowed to drop in and say hello on way home from work for a quick pint as well?

[Nikster]

Hello everyone,

The Nikster is back! Apologies for not logging on earlier in the week but life has been just a wee bit crazy!

Just wanted to throw out a date. How about Friday 8th (this Friday) for a pint and a chat?

Anyone interested?

Nikster x

[giddygecko]

:'( Hi Nik, welcome back, did you have a good holiday?

Unfortunately I am on lates this week so wont be able to join you all on Fri unless you are somewhere that is open late? If not another time, sigh!! For wild gay celebrations dont forget London Pride on Sat 30th June a bunch of girlies I know are meeting up in Trafalgar Square at 11am on the 30th for the march & festivities....

Cheers GG

[Nikster]

Hi GG,

Had a great holiday. Went to a Greek wedding and then up to Lancashire/Yorkshire to see some friends. Very relaxed and lots of fun.

We will definately be in town for London pride this year. Meeting up in the square would be a great idea for the parade! I'll run it pass the lovely lady indoors!

Let us know when you are on earlys and then we can get the rainbow drinks going!

Cheers,

Nikster
