I heard about that one.

I don't want to put a spanner in the works but am pretty sure it's run by Farah Fawcet.

She insists everyone wears drainpipe trews and dance to pipe music.

Bit of a task master by all accounts and many feel flushed afterwards.

[QUOTE=Fleaflyfloflum;6914064]For sometime now, both in England and here, I have been thinking about how to make new friends and sort of belong to something when i return to UK.

I do have a few issues in deciding, or indeed, finding something to suit me.

Here are my basic requirements

1. Must not be religious in anyway as I am agnostic

Hi flea, ave been reading of your wooes and sending lots of cyber hugs.



Am not religious either, but i couldnt care wot religion my friends are, i think of the friends i have made here now and i could not tell you of which religion any of them belong, not an issue for me.

What about belly dancing? My mum took it up a few years ago and she loves it, does a dance at all the family parties and everything! She's got all the gear I must admit I was abit when I first saw it!

sorry just posted and realised twas my daughters account

[QUOTE=lornakool;6915871] Hi Lorna. Thank you

I should have made that clearer. I dont mind at all if my new friends have religious beliefs of any kind. What i meant was, i do not want to join a church community or anything that worships a god as i would feel a complete hypocrite going there just to meet friends

[QUOTE=Margaret3;6915879] Ahhh you mean you are Lorna?

Never mind, thanks for your post

OMG!

Right .... cross that off the list

Let me think on that... ok?

Can I go back to the choir suggestion ?

I joined one in September - and it's been lovely. It's something I fancied doing for years. It's just adult time - purely for me. Nothing religious, though we are learning two Christmassy songs at the mo!

I've also started studying a bit of 'orticulture. A short local course to get my hands dirty (though it's a tad chilly in my bit of the world at the mo) - but it's nice to think about next summer and plotting my plot! Something very calming about growing stuff, especially if you can eat it

Girl after my own heart Ann

I am a big time garden person. In fact I completed 2/3 of a HND in horticulture years ago, but had to give it up when I split from my ex.
I was already intending to get into gardens and creating my dream patch of earth.
Australias complete lack of interest in creating beautiful gardens was a big disappointment to me. Sure, you get the very odd one that has made an effort, but in general they dont seem to give a toss.

What about the National Trust or Wildlife Trust. Not sure if that's your thing.

Or one of those volunteer tour guides who go round stately homes or places of interest.

Pole Dancing Lessons? Salsa classes

Wildlife trust appeals...

Wow you lot are full of good ideas. I am quite excited now! Just need to get the lungs working

Pole dancing???...stop taking the p*ss

The lungs will get working if you try pole dancing. You might break your leg though trying to balance on those luverrly plastic f**k off shoes they wear

Behave yourself I am already 5ft 9 big shoes make me look like the jolly green giant!!

Anway, I have always wondered how these women with big knckers negotiate those poles. I mean, if you get that stuck in your cleavage and slide down you will get the equivalent of arpet burns!!

Is that word 'knockers or knackers'
