So you're telling me that those 'shy' people never go out of their house, never go to a new job, never go to a new place, and meet people, all of whom know one another already ??

No...but in your own words why do you think people "shy away" from going to organised BE nights' out ?

As for myself, there was a birthday night out thread in the Sandpit (open to all ME BEs to read) so I asked a member of the Cloggies group (seeing most of them were going) if I could come along and the response was just a big NO !

Once bitten, twice shy...

Dubai has had its day... As this night proves. To many BE's that are past their best and quite frankly the new school set their ideals and expectations a bit higher than a night out with a lot of married women and single men.

Abu dhabi is the new home of BE, so the next time a general BE night is mentioned, the assumtion will be that its Abu Dhabi unless Dubai is specifically mentioned.

Lime tree anyone...hohohoho

Aaaaaw, wasn't it more the way you interpreted it MacScot than how it really was.(ps I have no idea what you are referring to)
Birthday gatherings are a wee bit different and more precious.Mebbe the celebrating member was going to collect the bill and you were 16th on the list of 15 preferred attendees...........

BM I'm not inferring anything and apologise if it came across that way.

Historically though BE nights out though attract the following:

Married women (usual suspects) husbands not in toe
Married men (wifes back home)
Single men
The odd couple

True?
