how can you diss the bars coddy, they keep many of us going of a long winter night

now that you seem to have let your hair down a bit with a new lease of colourful lanuage you may get in to the swing of them

the bars and the yurt shop are like dungeons and dragons if you ask me

The yurt shop thread has just made me laugh! The first bit, rolled up in carpet etc.

I love the bar, when I am in the mood, it's fun to just mess about and forget about being a mummy for a while, but for me it's as much about the inane chatter and banter as the imaginary drinking.

wobblyknicks · 27/09/2004 14:03

Well it is - it may not be everyone's cup of tea but its only a few threads here and there so easy enough to avoid if you think we're all bonkers!!!

KateandtheGirls · 27/09/2004 14:00

When you put it like that WK it sounds perfectly reasonable!

wobblyknicks · 27/09/2004 13:56

We're just exercising our imaginations and wishing we could actually go out and get drunk/have some cake without putting on 4lbs/ sit in a tent and chat. None of us have been certified for it (yet) so it can't be doing any harm!!!

KateandtheGirls · 27/09/2004 13:56

OK then...

Maybe I'll stick to the bars.

KateandtheGirls · 27/09/2004 13:55

Then don't pretend - have a real drink in hand.

Hulababy · 27/09/2004 13:55

Kate/Blu - Here is a virtual shop, the Yurt shop.

I like the bars. I haven't been to one for a while, but they're great when there's nothing on tv and all my friends are out when I phone (paranoid thought, perhaps they're just screening because the don't want to talk to me) and I fancy having a chat just for the sake of chatting.

I'm surprised you don't like them coddy. You don't seem to have any problems with talking away about nothing at all .

wobblyknicks · 27/09/2004 13:52

zubb - just shows you, if you'd been in virutal bars earlier that wouldn't have happened - let that be a lesson to you!!!

coddy - do you want me to do my mystical "I could explain but you wouldn't understand" bit??

agy · 27/09/2004 13:52

Sorry about extra grin!

Blu · 27/09/2004 13:52

I think they're funny - but i can't type fast enough.

Have missed the virtual shops - where can I find one? They sound like a good idea - all the virtual shops I visit end up with an expensive 'add to basket' button!

agy · 27/09/2004 13:51

I think the bars are probably fun for the people participating. But they don't make for interesting lurking!

Cadbury · 27/09/2004 13:51

pmsl wk!

Hulababy · 27/09/2004 13:51

I have't tried the shops - don't 'get' it. Used to frequent the bars a lot - not so much now. Didn't really go for the Let's Pretend style though. Normally had real drink in hand, and just chatted to people, rather than ordering virual drinks, etc.

KateandtheGirls · 27/09/2004 13:51

I didn't even realise there were virtual shops on here, and I have no idea what the yurt is.

zubb · 27/09/2004 13:50

ah WK maybe thats my problem - I have forgotten how to act in a bar!

NomDePlume · 27/09/2004 13:49

I don't 'get' the shops, but I do like the bars. They work for me because they are an open chat thread, ie there is no subject heading so you can just go in a ramble .
