We've met Andy at a couple of social events and in real life he is as nice as he sounds in his posting!
Shel and John
You've picked the wrong weekend unfortunatly!! All the best Geordies will be at the NW Munch in Manchester.
John & Shel
The previous 10 pages (approx) hold many posts which give a clue about the chances of getting an invite! Its a bit like the Da Vinci code. Hidden within such cryptic messages as;
List full, No more people to be added to list, No point in asking your not coming, Reserve list full,
is a cunningly concealed message which when de-coded reads NOT A CHANCE!
J & S
Really glad the Munch is next week not today, would not have liked travelling in this snowy weather.
John & Shel
When we change our user name from Geordiecpl2001 to Geriatriccpl2001.
J & S
We'de also like to say thanks to G & T for arranging this. Did you have a good time at the club?
J & S
Paddy,
That load banging noise that you might hear is the sound of Vicky (and others) banging their heads against the wall!!!!! :shock:
If you are not on the list by now you ain't going to be on the list!!!!
John & Shel
Not quite the same without Fiona, but still very good.
J & S
We would be up for the social, but not the club. Please let us know the details.
John & Shel
Didn't know it had closed, are you talking about Club2000?
Apparently ClubF is improving, but we still prefer going to Yorkshire or Lancs clubs even tho its a bit of a trek.
J & S
We're going, all being well, but 18th is couples only and your profile is single male, have you a partner to take with you?
J & S
Hi Casper,
Ever get over to Newcastle?
Shel
Dude,
Vicky has put a lot of effort into organising this Munch, could you put a little effort into reading the whole of this thread. Then all might become clear.
J & S
There was a series of books published in Newcastle called "Learn yourself Geordie" quite funny even to native Geordies. Judy is right about fairly close areas having very different accents, if we are ever talking to someone from say Ashington it is a really different accent to anyone from Newcastle.
Even though I am not broad Geordie and try and speak clearly, when I was in Canada I was always asked which part of Germany I was from. Speaking of which, apparently in WW2 a captured U-boat captain was being taken from Portsmouth to somewhere else by train, one of his guards was from Liverpool and one was from Glasgow. The guards could not understand each other and as the German spoke English he had to translate between them!
John
Hey PJ1,
When I saw you last night at the Munch you certainly looked more 20s than 40s.
Shel
Thinking back to when we were new on the swinging scene we were paranoid about other people learning that we were swingers, a newbie get together would have been great for us.
One suggestion which might make newbies more relaxed is a "no cameras or camera/mobiles to be used at the meet" rule.
John & Shel
Anything which is transmitted over the internet can be captured and kept!!
We are a couple, and have met many of the regulars and Mods from this site, but we would NOT ever use a webcam as we wish to preserve our anonimity. When we put photos on a site we can carefull examine the content and backgrounds on the photos to ensure it only shows that which we are happy with. In a real time enviroment such as a web cam, some info which you want to keep for yourself might leak out.
We initially contact other people via email, exchange a few details, then ALL talk on the (mobile) phone. We offer several alternate dates for a meet, always a public venue or preferably a swingers club. If the other people can't match one of the several offered we would suspect they are timewasters and then say "well contact us back with some dates of your own"
Can say that only once have we been let down by another couple on the night of a meet.
John & Shel
Shel is going as a Pirate, should see the trauma of getting the last bit of costume right!!
John & Shel
Bloody Hell.....Is this what it was like just before the English Civil War????
Good job Oliver Cromwell and King Charles didn't have the Internet, might have turned out really nasty!!!
We jump round each of the three sites and have found that each has good and bad points and we post on all of them, depends which topic catches our eye(s) on each site. Just takes a bit more time out of our day. Maybe given time the whole thing will settle out again.
John & Shel
Well seeing that we have totally hi-jacked Dibble's thread. Wonder where he went?
Tell G to get better soon from us. Your both going to have to go to a club with us sometime in this year. Shame your not going to the Munch on 7th Jan
J & S
Bloke, by all means use that.
Hi G&T how was your New Year? We were at Cupids on Fri, pretty good, excellent show by some loverly looking girls.
J & S
hey Bloke,
We were in "Bank" last night, so loud that my ears were bleeding!!! Why is it that some DJs think that by going to max volume everybody will have a better time? We could not stand it, left after one beer.
J & S
And in English that means............what exactly?
J & S
Both myself and Shel were very wary when we first went into Gay Bars in Newcastle, no problems now. People are just the same!
One thing to bear in mind, Dibble.
"A lot of gay men are really hard, and a lot of hard men are really Gay"
