Iftar meetups
 

Afternoon guys!

Anyone here up for iftar link ups (muslims and nonmuslims!)

May be a good way to connect with some people on here!

Are you sure you want to? They are a most peculiar bunch... ;)

Re: Iftar meetups
 

**** that. Would be a riot.*


*if anyone actually turned up.

Re: Iftar meetups
 

Translated: RUN, RUN, VERY FAR AND VERY FAST AND DON"T LOOK BACK!!!

Re: Iftar meetups
 

Wise words...

Re: Iftar meetups
 

I'm easy if someone wants to get it sorted

Re: Iftar meetups
 

I've met my share of peculiar people here! So i think i can handle these folk!

Re: Iftar meetups
 

So is that a nay or a yay? I know me and my mate will turn up so that is two!

Re: Iftar meetups
 

I'll be happy to sort somewhere that is easily accessible and at an affordable price range!

Re: Iftar meetups
 

You sound like me 6 years ago offering this bunch to organise a meet up.
It's harder than it seems.

Re: Iftar meetups
 

Surely it can't be that difficult. Suggest a date/time and if people can make it, great - if not, wait until the next one...

Re: Iftar meetups
 

lol I know the issuesof organising a meet up with online strangers! But as I mentioned, me and my mate will be doing iftar at different places regularly this month, so I'll drop a date, time and venue to those who are interested, if they want to turn up, they can!

Re: Iftar meetups
 

Yeah, until all the people you actually know and like have said no, then you're stuffed. Or people cancel last minute. Or they change plans last minute. Or they moan about location.

It's a world full of humans unfortunately and they're unpredictably fantastical.

Re: Iftar meetups
 

is this going to be a boozy iftar?

Re: Iftar meetups
 

... and most Iftar's are shite.

You stand in a room looking at a great buffet with people starving to eat it. Then the bell rings and it's like animals to the feeding pot. 15mins later, everyone is stuffed and giggy. 30mins after that the hotel kicks you out so they can set up for Sohar.

So you have probably 60mins in the room: 15 looking at the food with people wanting to faint, 15 eating, 15 passing out, 15 getting ready to leave.

Of course, it shouldn't be like that... but that's generally how a 5* hotel iftar works.
