Starting a new thread as "Gay Girlies" was possibly a negligent misrepresentation.


So just to recap - a bunch of us (Nikster, Giddy Gecko, Me, James (?) and MikeSE22..) are meeting for drinks in The Rye at 7pm on Monday 11th June. I think Mattindulwich18, Beej (and possibly partner James) were keen. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone else.


Anyway all welcome of whatever colour of the rainbow :)

Well the SUN was definitely out when we went there for lunch yesterday - unusually quiet for a Sunday too what with Carters Steam Fair and the Forest Hill Day's taking place. Bliss it was I tell you


Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well GG - Hope everyone has a good evening tho

Absolutely gutted I didn't see this thread till it was a day too late. My boyfriend and I ended up at the cinema watching some tediously long film and would've so much preferred to be meeting you all. Wish there was some way emails of events could get sent to everyone's personal emails etc. Anyway sorry to have missed it, and please do count us in for the next pink drinks! Everyone come to Gay Pride in Trafalgar Square on the 30th June, my band UnkleJam will be headlining. Peace Beej (Bobby) xx

Did I miss the drinks on the 2nd? I had just returned from Madrid and did not get home until gone 10pm.


I went into the Rye for dinner on Thursday with my man.


It seemed quite rustic and oldey worldy but nice with candles etc.


Would be keen to come to the next drinks.

it sort of cancelled i think - epic monsoon style rainstorm and no confirmed attendees (unless loads of EDF non-posters turned up - in which case please accecpt my sincere apologies)


someone else's turn to arrange next month as i failed so miserably :-$


perhaps we need a way of swapping phone numbers so that everyone knows who's going...?

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
