Guest kmckerron Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi everyone, I find this a bit weird and would probably rip any of my mates for doing this but my wife and I have been living in Brisbane for a year now after coming out from Scotland and find it hard to meet people because we are at that age I think, were both 27 without kids. Just looking to meet up with likeminded people for a drink or something! Cheers. Kris & Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stenichalifax Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi Kim, This does seem a bit wierd at first but its actually really good way to meet people. Where abouts are you living? I am living in Holmview (southside of Brisbane) with my hubbie Ste, i am 26 and Ste is 30 in 2 weeks! We dont have any kids and like camping and BBQ's etc. Would love to meet for a drink or something. Let me know what ya think. I'm on facebook under nicrush@hotmail.com if ya are on there!

Guest Bernicem80 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi there I am in North Brissie and I know what you mean about feeling weird! It is hard to make friends - I work in an office of about 5 people - all older than me! So don't get much of a chance to find new people! I am 29 other half is 40 - we have no kids and would be up for making some new mates! Let us know where in Brissie u are - and pehaps could meet up for a drink.

Guest smiler77 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 hi Kris and Kim, moved to brisbane about 7 months ago (in kelvin grove) also from scotland (livingston) , Meeting people getting a bit easier now as always new people in the same boat at my work but still hard as used to all the people back home who have known me (warts and all) for years. came out on my own so weird having to phone someone to vent!! hope things have got better for you, would be happy to meet but i am not half a couple i am just me and know couples sometimes prefer couples. oh and am a gross melting person in this heat!!!!!!!!!!

Guest alexp Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hey everyone, Was in touch with a few of you guys about maybe meeting up this weekend but looks like its going to be difficult for most of us. Was thinking how about Australia Day? I know those of you who have been in brissy a while will probably have plans but if any of you are up for meeting up to have a few drinks in the sun just let me know. Donna and I were planning just to head down to South Bank but are open to any suggestions.. Anyone interested in joining us please email me by clicking on my username or send me a message on facebook, you can find me using my email. Hope to hear from some of you soon.
