Don't have an issue with anyone knowing that my name is Paul, because funnily enough I quite like to be called Paul.
What I would have a problem with is if someone used my surname, because my full name is
Paul Hampsterwilly!!!
Regards
Paul

Well, Directory enquiries don't know you.... have you got a phone lol

as a single male am finding it more difficult to find people willing to swing with an over 50 guy , coupes and single girls seem ok over 50 is few and far between or am i wrong. prop unerstandable given the amount of younger guys on here .....

That comment is true if you are 20, 30, 40 or 50.
I admit the average age of swinging does seem to be 35 to 40 and the general feeling to swing with someone in your own age group..... but..... it;s the 1000 to one ratio of single guys to wiliing couples/single females thats the problem. Winning the lottery springs to mind lol

The fact it doesn't start up will have nothing to do with the broadband connection. Problems once the laptop is up and running and while connected, can be due to viruses, poor connection and so on.
It is more likely to be the heat that is causing the problems to the hardware (the laptops)

Back to the point of a dead laptop, if you are unsure of following any of the advice, then take it to a PC medic. If your drive is kaput, they'll get nothing off it anyway.

The rules regarding Munches and socials have remained the same throughout the site's lifetime.... Why will they be tightened??

ok, let me get this straight.
a meet for drinks in a pub before everyone moves on to a private house party (aka a "fuckfest" ) is a social (aka no play) ?
i'm changing my name to blonde, cos I still dont get it.
sorry

I don't fancy getting my balls chewed by a rottwieler (hmmm, I dunno, let me rethink that)....
anyway, I see that before the "party" in this instance is a social., afterwards is a private party.
Two different venues, hence two different titles.
However, I do take your point of naming things to get around rules... as per my post earlier. I just fear that taking this issue further will result in tightening of rules rather than relaxation, for the furtherment of swinging.

Got to be honest, when I started in this game three years ago at 4, I thought I'd be too old. There is certainly a bit of "diminishing returns" as there are less people swinging in the 50's plus range and there is a certain degree of ageism.....
BUT...
I've still had fun, just that I now want more....more.....more.....

Try this, wrap the whole laptop in a plastic bag (to avoid condensation) and drop it in your fridge for a few hours.

right i might be a dumb blonde but putting anything electric any where remotely damp is a bad idea.........and maz u know how dumb i am......
i did once here something that freezing sim cards would wipe them (but then i'd have no idea how to un wipe them)...........but dont do it hun.......try the other advise before putting it in the fridge.....
posh....xxx
Posh, you are right to a degree but, Fridge, not Freezer, and the plastic bag is to avoid the condensation while cooling the drive/laptop. If you were to put in in a freezer without sealing it in a plastic bag or cling film, tehn there could be trouble.
I have resurected quite a few hard drives this way just long enough to recover data.
The noise heared is possibly the drive arm seeking to read the drive at start up.
If nothing appears on screen and there are no beeps, the laptoip is not getting past the POST (Power On Self Test) which is usually either 1/ Hard Drive. 2/ Memory 3/CPU.
In each case, the hot weather we have been having can play havoc with these components. Cooling is a tried and trusted method. If you are worried about condensation in the fridge, put the laptop in the coolest place in the house overnight, normally the bathroom.

Sounds, excuse the pun, very much like the hard drive is kaput.
Sometimes you can revive the drive for a short period of time if you cool it.
Try this, wrap the whole laptop in a plastic bag (to avoid condensation) and drop it in your fridge for a few hours.
Take it out and try to boot it strait away, if it starts up and crashes a short time after, it's more likely the hard drive as mentioned.

Quote by Freckledbird
Dress codes don't, or shouldn't, come into the equation - most munches have a casual dress code, ie pub wear - it's just certain people who push that to the absolute limit at times.

Some of the best Munches I have been to have involved swapping of clothes and generally good clean adult fun.
The best Socials have been in sombre pubs where you can hold a conversation (without taking your clothes off lol

)
This is where I see the distinct difference, Munch (private room/venue) to Social (public place) . You don't have to wear anything particular at a "private" venue but you are given the opportunity to - it's called freedom.
In a public place you have little option.... no clothes swapping in the Lounge of the Red Lion lol

Similarly, the duraction is also governed by the venue (although less so with 24hr drinking). Social (public venue) = til 11pm, Munch (private venue) = til the beer or people run out lol

Quote by HornyLittleBlonde
Socials are open to all (with the exception of banned members on this site). Hence why there are more Socials than munches being organised here at the moment.

That's why I rasied the issue

The admin have never tried to step in and change the rules or stop events being advertised here if non members are invited.

Hence the change of name from Munch to Social for some events and confusion that has ensued.

Quote by Frecklebird
How does that involve money? There are still non-paying members of this site. As far as I'm aware, we don't have to pay anyone to attend a munch.

It is not your money and it's not the paying of going to a munch. It is the free advertisement of an event elsewhere than SH that is the thing, meaning possible lost revenue. If people can go to another site for free to see what is on and get invited, why should they pay to come on SH to see what is going on (talking paying and new members here).
That is why a "Open Munch" event, despite {non financial} site rules, and a simple possible solution, is not suitable for a commercial site.
Anyway, to get back on subject, I still say the venue has a great dictation on what the event can be called and hence the state of "dress" that can be worn.....

The point of the thread was more about the impressions of what people expect when they go to a social/munch/party.

Yes, and the point was stated that there had been a number of "renamings" to overcome rules, that had confused people as to what Munches/Social/Parties were and what to expect.

I don't understand this

That was my point on the issue of renamimg of "Munches" to get around rules, it's not for "the good of swinging and the community", it's for money.

How is it for the money dunno

Suprise me then, put the proposition forward to freely allow the posting of threads in LMU for "Open Munches", meaning those that are also advertised elsewhere and do not have to be "members of this site only".
Fred, banned members from any site are a completely different bag of worms.
Off to do some work and earn money....

There's always one wanting to bring politics into a good discussion
For the record Phoenix, the owners of SH haven't changed any rules on munches or socials advertised on the forum. If any changes have been made, it has nothing at all to do with the SH admin team or profits
Socials can and are posted on more than one site. Munches are support by SH and are only advertised here, how does that affect money

Politics

I was raising the point of naming and definitions, on the issue that gatherings originally started as Munches were renamed as Socials because of the cross site issue. This did and recently has caused confusion. I said that the relatively simple option of the adding of the word "open" to Munch and Social, to indicate that it is also advertised elsewhere but still indicate what type of event it was, is unlikely to be favoured on a commercial site. What was wroing with that comment ???

[I'm sorry but what has generating income got to do with munches and socials, as far as I'm aware there is never a charge for going to them, voluntary contributions yes, but no charges and definitely no profit.
.

Not for the Munches rolleyes

, the site ... it's commercial. Commercial companies don't advertise other products unless there is profit in it for them. Why should SH allow advertisement of "gatherings" that are also advertised elsewhere, sometimes for free.

I can't be bothered to drawl through the posts so far, so I'll just throw in my tu'pence worth and bugger off again.

Quote by dambuster
But more often lately, the term â€œSocialâ€ is being used. Partly, I believe, to get round/comply with the rules contained in the official Munch definition and the posting across two or more other sites.
:

This is where most of the confusion has arisen. Munches being renamed as Socials to get around people from other sites attending. At one point, a private party I went to was taken to PM and the thread locked because non members were going :shock: FFS
To me, the main Munch / Social definition has always been determined by the venue, private room or open pub/venue. It has nothing to do with playing at the event, that generally happens elsewhere afterwards and by invite only. A private room/venue allows more revealing dress, antics and so on, while an open pub has be dealt with in the appropriate manner, as families could be about.
A "Social" so named to get around rules, could be simply be called an "Open Munch" or "Open Social", again determined by the venue, dress code, newbies and so on.
Of course, like our government, an idea such as this may be too simple to comprehend as it does not generate income.
Private parties will always remain private.
