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 ;-)

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 ;-) )

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?

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

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

:'( 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

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

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
