EDF Drinks - 4th Dec - at Boho Bar

[Mick Mac]

  Quote

Well, I had a completely new experience after two years of forum drinks...

I tried to introduce myself to someone and was completely snubbed.

That is not what the drinks, or the forum, used to be about.

And to think, the person who did the snubbing is one of those who bleats a lot about inclusivity.

Kind of ruined an otherwise excellent night. Shame.

I suspect it was BN5. He can be a bit rude sometimes. I would not take it personally anna, he is just playing hard to get.

[LegalEagle-ish]

That's horrible Anna. You looked lovely by the way and are always interesting to talk to, so whoever snubbed you missed out, not you.

[Jah Lush]

I concur with Legal. X

[RosieH]

I thought you looked rubbish and were very dull actually. Oh wait, no, it wasn't me what did the snubbin. Fabulous indeed and a very foxy dress if I may say so...

Actually, a lot of people were looking terrific last night, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't just my beer goggles.

Have woken up with sore feet and my hands smell of kebab - excellent night, exactly what the doctor ordered.

[mockney piers]

That's terrible Anna, sorry to hear that.

Big boo to the snubber, shame on you, really.

If even Wolfie and Jah Luh can get on like the gentlemen they are over a hot toddie then there's absolutely no excuse for anyone else to behave like that. I demand an apology to the enigmatic and rather wonderful ms j.

[Mick Mac]

Was this snub definately intentional? I'm a garrow's law man myself.

[MrBen]

Didn't expect to come but enjoyed this one.

Anna I suggest you PM the offending culprit and give him/her a right good finger wagging.

[Keef]

Well, I was there very early, and left for the CPT, thus snubbing the lot of ya!

Part of me would have liked to stay, but it's been a long week, and I just couldn't be doing with it. Feel gutted to have missed AnnaJ though :'(

As an aside, I got a round of 3 and a half lagers, and one cider, and got 50p back from ?20. WTF!?!?!?!?!?

Quite - even the wolf undrestood that having the occasional online barney with someone didn't mean you needed to be rude in person. Civility: an advanced concept, it seems, and not one that all have grasped.

[Keef]

Come on, who was it???? I need a new enemy.

It was a great night. Jo and I carried on the dancing to Liquorice. I didnt get home until 2.30am. Luckily I dont get hangovers. Cant wait for the next one. Thanks Georgia for organising

[LegalEagle-ish]

Lol, Keef, wait until your little T gets older, you'll have plenty of people to fight!

I just want to say I'm proud to announce that I am officially the hottest granny in ED, or so I was told last night!

[RosieH]

You a granny? Well then, I'd second that.

[MrBen]

It was Slash, Keef. SLASH.

It's all a bit High School this. You're not exactly shy and retiring with your views AnnaJ and can be a bit preachy at times so you're always going to wind a few people up.... but no excuse for poor manners. I don't think last night should be remembered for this. I really enjoyed it.

[KalamityKel]

who said that? Just being nosey

Thirded.

Ooh, and on the subject of looking resplendent, giggirl, meant to come over and introduce myself and somehow failed. But resplendent is the very word.

I seem to be having some kind of love in today. I don't know what's come over me.

[karter]

It was a great night and good to catch up with people and meet some new forumites too. Legal, daizie, LM, Georgia and Raj were a blast from early on in the evening when the music downstairs was quiet and good to meet rcmacf. The place did get packed , mingling was easy enough though and the service was good i think, nice touch with the foodie bits. A good venue.

I didn't get round to chatting with annaj, but regarding snubbing as written above, I would say leave it in the past if you guys can though and have a drink together, i'm sure it's possible.:)-D

I'm fairly certain. I walked over and introduced myself with a smile and a jokey remark about getting on better in person (much the same as I did when I first met you) and was met with stoney silence and a slow look up and down (what in my Gloucestershire teenage years we used to call a "dogging up")

I know bars are noisy places and misunderstandings arise, and I'm all for the benefit of the doubt, but it felt pretty deliberate and pretty unkind.

But I've no intention of naming and shaming, it's really not the end of the world, especially not after so many lovely posts from everyone else.

Lovely to see everyone and to meet daizie who was very nice and chatty (but did say I was older than she thought I was from my posts - apparently I post like I'm 20 and don't know anything. I'm trying hard to see the compliment ;-))

[????]

Had a splendid evening and home by 12.45 to no signs of contractions...

Catch up with many posters, missed a few who were there and just caught the very late tweeded arrivals (tsk)

Special mentions to the glamorous granny proving non-drinking can be fun and Daizie for beating my 'she'll never show' cyncism

I like both the snubber and snubbed so hope they can sort it out and that perhaps there is an explanation for what does strike me as out of character rudeness.

Cheers all

Pot. Kettle. And not really called for, MrBen.

[LegalEagle-ish]

It was definitely a great night. I didn't get a chance to talk to everyone I wanted to and started flagging around 11pm (my all night party days are behind me now I think!) but everyone I did get to talk to was interesting and lovely. Big massive group hug x x x

[Keef]

Now I'm really gutted to hear that Giggirl was there, I would have loved to have met you and bought you a drink as thanks for the Pixies tickets!

Are there pics from last night, or is OutofFocus' camera still broken?

[Keef]

Oh, and Legal is definitely a sexy granny! :)-D

[annaj]

Oh how could I have forgotten to mention giggirl, to whom I confessed my forum crush and then accidentally (honestly, it was an accident - I just turned my head the wrong way!) kissed almost full on the lips on leaving.

Lovely to meet you, giggirl, you were every bit as fabulous in person.
