MARYROSE02 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This is for Sydney but they are all over the country. I often see other PIO'ers trying to organise 'meet ups' but that is more getting together for a booze up with other Pommie migrants. Nothing wrong with that, but 'Meet Ups' is a way of putting down stronger roots, getting to know people other than fellow 'New Chums.' I've joined Meet Ups myself, hence the email from them, just have not got around to doing any of the activities. I want to start bushwalking as I used to do that a few years back, a bit like the Ramblers in the UK, whereby you go out on the train or drive to somewhere in the bush to join up with 20 or 30 like-minded people, then have a day (or more) walk. Great way to see more of OZ and meet people (and get fitter!) There are some varied activities on this page, 'something for every cliche!'

northshorepom Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You don't fancy going to the feminists' meet up and letting them know your views on Alan Jones then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 You don't fancy going to the feminists' meet up and letting them know your views on Alan Jones then? The ironic thing is that although they are never slow to have a go at him, they would never listen to him, so it's the 'Mary Whitehouse' style of rage, at secondhand, withouth ever actually watching/listening to him. Mind you, I made my own 'faux pax' yesterday, telling a couple that I thought their little girl was a boy in a dress. Did not realize they were a lesbian couple who had given their daughter a 'typical' lesbian haircut, so in a dress, she did look like a little bloke!

northshorepom Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 :laugh: One of my son's classmates has "two mummies". We went out a couple of weeks ago to a class parents' end of year dinner and only one could come, and I noticed contrived at some difficulty to sit next to my missus. I didn't think anything of it but have since twigged that her partner thinks she fancies my wife. She also has a wicked (as in slightly evil, not as in the Ali G sense) sense of humour and is now winding her partner up with various texts. We've been invited round there on Boxing Day (with plenty of others, I should add) for drinks/kids bouncy castle/pool party. Could be amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've got no prejudice. I did not even know they were gay, just noticed that it was a boy in a dress, or so I thought but realize (NOW, after my mate Tom said he 'cringed' when he heard me) that I'd made a faux pax. Actually, I am prejudiced - against Western Sydney Wanderers after that riot on Saturday - and letting of flares at the ground. Tossers, trying to recreate 'European' atmosphere.
