Way too many.
Modern bands? Probably Foo Fighters. Older bands? Doobie Brothers, Thin Lizzy, AC/CD...
Thanks Mallock2006. I would never have found that via the thread headline of 'Verification'.
As I said above, while I've been on SH for quite some time I have never bothered with the messageboard before. I'd rather just post my point than spend ages sifting though archives. Lazy I know.
I do a lot on this subject with my work and it is genuinely very scary.
What annoys me is that this has been spun into a right versus left argument with righties basically saying it's all a leftist conspiracy etc.
Can't these people see what is happening? Can't they see the crap in the atmosphere?
The penny will only really start to drop when the effects of climate change start to hit home. The effects of climate change won't be big special effect stuff like Hollywood would have you believe. The effects will grind society down.
Food will become more expensive because great swathes of the planet will not be able to sustain crops like they do now.
If righties grizzle about immigration and asylum seekers now, wait until millions (billions) of people start migrating across the planet to find somewhere to simply survive. Remember the term 'environmental refugees'folks. You are going to hear it a LOT in the future.
Power cuts? A thing of the past? We can expect them within the next 5 to 10 years.
More wars as people start to fight over resources? Yup.
Climate change isn't about giant tsunamis smashing into New York.
No I'm not new around here. Have been a member for at least a year (probably quite a bit longer) and have met people successfully. I had my first swinging experience at least 10 years ago.
However, this is the first time I have used the forum function on the site. Apologies if this is a much used topic of debate.
I write in frustration after having booked a day off work for a meet tomorrow, only to be given the old classic line. It hasn't happened to me before to be honest, which is why it has annoyed me now.
Anyhow, thanks for the sensible answer poshkate, and thanks for the humourous answer anais. As for hungrypussy69, I suspect you are newer to this than I am. ;-)
Should SwingingHeaven adopt the eBay approach?
I'm sure I am not the only one who has experienced people on SwingingHeaven who pretend they are up for a meet but then make some pathetic excuse at the eleventh hour, usually something about a family crisis, regardless of the lengths other people have gone to to change their schedules etc.
The problem is that these pretenders are probably doing this all the time and are helping to further spread the bad image of swinging and contact sites (of which SwingingHeaven is the best).
So what's the solution?
Perhaps a system like they use on eBay, whereby members are marked and given either positive or negative feedback. That way it would be easy to see who is genuine and who is talking nonsense.
If a couple/lady/guy consistently made arrangements and then let the other people down, it would make it a lot easier to sort out the pretenders from the genuine people by simply looking at their rankings.
Thoughts?
