London Calling... - Page 4

Hi Jen! Nice to see you made it here and hope you enjoy the site. My best to Amanda.

imperfect_cupcake · 01-13-2010, 01:35 AM

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!

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...

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

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

Safe and Fabulous Festivities!!!!

imperfect_cupcake · 01-01-2012, 02:56 PM

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
