You have to go past my house to get to Cornwall unless you are coming in from up Bude/Minehead way ... I'm in Plymouth.

good ol Devon..................

...............age is all relative, at least i didnt say "drawers":D

Stopping by to say "hi" to all those from London (and elsewhere in the UK) :)

Welcome to The Planet! I'm not in London....maybe there's a London, Texas... ;)


~Diva

hi
 

Hi Ciran and Diva, well maybe there is a london in texas, i would think you could fit london into the smallest town in texas - this is what i love about Britain, its so small, you can drive from one end to the other in a day...........:D

Hi Ciaran,

Always nice to see you:)

Words

Diva probably could. From what I hear about Diva's driving, she could probably make the return trip too;)

You're right though, it is relatively small.

Words

P.S. My boy passed his driving test yesterday. Yay! (He came into the house pumping the air and saying very smugly, ''So WHO's the Daddy now?'' LOL...Cracked me up.)

..............tell him well done from us.............GJ

Will do that:)

Okay, so, Dame Shirley Bassey and Dizzee Rascal, together, singing Diamonds are Forever on Children in Need was fantastic.

Anyone else see it?

........nope, but can i twang your suspenders?:eek:

Well, the other way around here. My girlfriend is a Brit in the US. She is originally from Oxford. Came to the US in her teens when her mother married a GI in the Air Force. Rufus

yes there are a few of us around.................so hi from me.......GJ

Perv. *Insert eye roll.*

BTW, suspenders in the States aren't suspenders at all, they're garter belts. BUT, what we call braces, they call suspenders.

Confusing huh?

Hi from Lancs
 

*waves*

Hi I'm in the UK - living in Lancashire now:angel:

I'm a "non-Brit", but I've been here almost 31 years now.

Anyone else getting fed up with how this country grinds to a halt when we get a small amount of snow / ice / cold weather?

Three hours to get home from work yesterday evening (10 miles or so) and now about to walk a mile or so in ice on ungritted pavements which have been in a treacherous condition for over 4 days now ..... meanwhile, meant to be flying to Belfast tomorrow for Christmas and all signs point to further chaos at airports and cancelled flights ..... :knit:

I'm starting to think I should live somewhere a bit warmer or better organised .... :amsmiling:

Hi everyone. I am a Londoner by birth, but now live in the West Country.

I come from Blackheath originally and still have family in London. I now live in the beautiful county of Cornwall, with my wifey of nearly four years. I wouldn't want to ever move back to live in London, but we do go "up country" from time to time to visit my relatives so if any of you are around and about when we're there, it would be cool to say "Hi".

Amanda and I met when we were at university in Portsmouth, so we used to go to Brighton (which is only an hour or so along the coast from there) for weekends.... to do the scene... that kinda stuff. We only ever go to Brighton now for Pride, which is always a blast.

Cornwall is not especially a "gay oriented" place. There is only one gay club in the whole county, and it was only in 2008 that there was the first ever Gay Pride held in Truro, so it's a bit of a backwater as far as "The Scene" goes, but there is no shortage of luvverly lesbians here, we get together for meets from time to time and we're all pretty good friends.

Are there any other Kernews on this site..?

Well, that's me. It'd be good to hear from anyone who wants to share info, or tips about clubs and places to go, and that kinda stuff. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love and hugs
Jen xx

hey words! thought I'd pop by here.

I don't know very many resourses for outside london. there used to be club wotever in brighton but I think it may have closed down. but the website will have that info.

don't worry about butchfemme.co.uk. Most of the people I enjoy got kicked off of that site and they are very wierd about what you can and can't talk about. most of the people I've talked to on there are oop north. but that site is very wierd in terms of admin and banning every other person. Nothing missed, trust me.

actually I do know of another uk site... can't recall the address but my old landlord used to go there, I'll check with her.

Hey you *smile*...

Yep, I heard the same thing about the UK site and have decided it's not worth the bother. I'm curious though, does it have anything to do with the US site?

So....the big question....what's the weather like where you are? W/we're completely snowed in here - W/we live at the top of a hill and it's been over a week since vehicles have had access or been able to leave) - and yes, W/we've definitely had enough.

Keep in touch!

Words

Honestly? the two people who started it caused a fairly large upset in butch-femme 1) because of british humour (which I'm sure as you know doesn't translate well into american culture) and for which I was sympathetic. I understood that gap and it made me cringe knowing the misunderstandings going on. 2) they were also not interested in learning anything and rather... I'm not sure how much I am able to say in this forum. On GB I'd be able to speak frankly but american sites are a bit more - discretionary.

so they used to be members but left. possibly one of them was banned. But no, most definitely not affiliated with bf.com

weather is a bit shit. the ice was very bad for almost a week and I haven't been able to exercise much so I'm getting a bit ... house buggy. Inks and I are in a studio suite (large enough for two, but it's still a studio) in Newington green. The location is fantastic for socialising, shopping, transport. But since the snow and her having to do night shifts cause I'm waiting for my job to start (end of jan) it's a bit squishy and doesn't fulfill the purpose of us taking a smaller place in a better area. Since walking and cycling is slightly suicidal at the moment.

walking is ok if you stick to the main roads. but there's still black ice everywhere so I find cycling on the main roads in london a bit nerve wracking. I'm a bit house bound.

Still snowing as we speak...

hey peeps hi from the US! i miss the UK -london and scotland esp-i studied there eons ago -maybe someday il come back.
Words nice to see ya-missed u and B at the bash and yes thats a long story.
i think londons weather is better than seattle and yet im thinking of moving that way-go figure.
HB miss ya boobalahs--hehe

There is an alternative UK site which, in my limited experience, is reasonably good, if not always terribly busy: www.butchfemmeukrainbow.com

Joyous about Feb's Bird Club!

Hey fellow British people !

Some of you I know, Some of you I don't . But hello to all !!

Let's all go down the George and Dragon for a pint of stout and a steak and kidney pie.:gimmehug:::thumbsup::beerbros::england:

The Ash Cloud has me considering....
 

that I need to be on the look out for people in the London area who may be willing to help me out in a jam.

So, here's the issue. I have a trans-continental-atlantic flight scheduled to depart YVR (Vancouver, Canada) on June 10th, arriving in Gatwick at around 8am June 11th. My return flight is scheduled for Sept 9th. I am considering staying in a 'yotel' in Gatwick during my 9 hour layover between my flight from Malta and my return flight to Vancouver.

The ash cloud is creating a bit of an issue in the UK right now, most recent story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8685913.stm

I am confident that the airlines I've chosen will accommodate any flight delays with no extra charges. but it's the time waits that I'm concerned about.

I don't plan to venture out of the airport between flights, but I'm thinking now, it might be a good idea to have a few contacts from people in and around the London/Gatwick area just in case.

If you're willing to be a contact for this nervous (albeit excited) traveller who may/may not get stranded in London between flights, please PM me. And yes, while I have contacts in mind already, I'm just too shy to ask you directly.

Thanks,

PapaC

Chris!! I hardly ever come here but you would have been extremely welcome >:(! Had I known.

you seriously need to get my email/facebook.

heyyy fellow Britainians. :tea: :england:

butch/femme/genderqueer/ID friendly meet:

LONDON

January 28th @ 5pm till whenever (probably around 8/9)
Curzon Soho
Downstairs, couches and bar.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...00242416141031

They do sandwiches and cakes, coffee and tea upstairs and you can take the food down.
Nice atmosphere, no loud music - you can talk and sit in big comfy couches.
beer prices reasonable

so far there are about 15 people coming but suspect that will pick up by the time the event comes around. They are *really* friendly (as one of them is ME) and talkative and laid back. It's always a good time, it's the 3rd meet of this early evening soiree, giving people enough time to go out to their sat night disco afterwards.

Hope to see you there - IM if you have any questions or need a hand-hold
