Please Please Please plenty of notice, some of us need to book time off work weeks in advance :twisted:
Personally I wouldn't be drawn to a party that refused to invite single guys, and I decline invitations to join groups that exclude solo men. So I can see where the points raised are coming from
BUT
With the litigious nature of society, and in a business environment where really you are only as good as your last party, I do respect any venues right to set down rules and criteria. There have been Meet 'n' Greets organised in the past where the attendees were required to submit photo I.D. prior to being issued an invitation. This too caused controversy with some members, but some of us did submit this and did attend the event.
Think this post has little more to be added to it in discussion of the identification criteria. Points have been raised and addressed, it might be best from this point forward to allow the organisers to promote their event without it turning into an major incident. Single men, if you want to attend then you apply knowing the requirements in advance. Anyone else with an issue with it might be best not to attend so, be wise and find out the name of the hotel that will have the 10-15 single men sitting twiddling their thumbs at the bar, that's my dream come true !!!
Pebbles from flinstones? She's pre-historic! Or less specific, just a cavewoman?
Wilma or Betty from the flintstones
You will have to watch the forum, any info will be posted there, not actually in this thread.
Well Ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ly God! Ya do realise ya have to be on your best behaviour in public!
I reckon she'll be wearing a smile and a dirty glint in her eye.
A lady seems to have brought my black leather jacket home by accident and left their one in it's place. I was sitting at the table just inside the door to the right of the bar. Can we make arrangements to swap back please? If it rings a bell I was sitting where sleeping-beauty, katiep and mrswestcorkcpl were sitting.
I'd have loved to but no way I'll be there on time; I'm gonna miss out on such a laugh :sad:
If the couple are from the locality they might wish to just go home to sleep, otherwise it would be best to ensure that there are sufficient beds for all to sleep; especially if you will have a bit of a drive home the next day.
If you book a room for '2' then no the hotel won't want to think there are more people staying there. Some have a policy of no visitors in the room after 10pm so if you are meeting for drinks first you may encounter a barrier going back as a 4some to the room after that for play.
It's best to just ask the couple what they would want to happen, if they will want to sleep at that hotel then you could consider a family room. Or some hotels offer options of 2 bedroom suites. Personally when meeting as a 4-some I've experienced all scenarios, all bunking in one room, two individual rooms, or them going home in the early hours.
Just chat with the couple and you might find you don't need to stress the details; if they're more experienced they will have an idea what will work best...........
Hi and welcome, congrats on taking the plunge!
Hi and welcome to the site guys, I'm sure you'll have a blast!
Thanks very much guys XXX
Hi and welcome Si
newbies is the room people automatically land in when they log into chat. It has been discussed as to whether the newbies should be sent to a different room but the best way to get into this scene and establish connections is by mixing. So essentially what I will say is, we were all newbies at some stage, we all started where you did, sticking to a room where your companions are also newbies might not prove too beneficial when it comes to actually taking the swing plunge.
Persist with chat, nothing happens here overnight, yes people here know other people, but it's through regular chatting or having actually met. Of course you are going to feel a bit isolated to start with..... but once again..... we were all where you are now.
How would they be seen, will she be on camera, or just on photos?
I'd love an invite please, and Thanks!
The other end of the country grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
You never mentioned your psychic abilities amongst your attributes; this is being moved to anything goes because letsmeetup is for actual meets, whether organised or just gauging interest. I am sure it will get just as much attention in the correct forum.
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As
she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet
shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles,
has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed,
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied
the vet..
"How can you be so sure?" she
protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or
something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned
around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later
with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on
in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his
front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from
top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and
shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the
head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he
returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also
delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat
back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and
strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the
woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most
definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and
produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she
cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it,
the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the
Cat Scan, it's now $150."
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'
The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.'
