Hay SomeThing good to see someone as crazy and paranoid as me if you do come we will have to have some sort of competition lol. As for attendance figures, it is hard to say as it is the first one (or the first on in the UK I have heard of any ways) I am fairly sure there will be at least two people there but past that your guess is as good as mine but enough people have posted over the past few months saying they are interested to make me hopeful. And yes I quite agree, it is very hard to do anything to stop people turning up and making it all too obvious but it is not really in keeping with the idea of a munch and I suspect it would be greatly unwelcome for the rest of us not to mention the other people there. And yes I know the Loft Longeis is not in the bullring, it is just a little bit of confusion from the other place that the munch was going to be (which as it happens isn't in the bullring ether)which unhelpfully had a similar name only adding to any possible confusion

Cool I didn't know that but just checked it out and as far as I can tell it has been there since Feb of this year so it should be a fairly good place. That is on a saturday but I can't imagen it would be any busier on a Sunday so should all be fine.

Hi all, I was trying to find a little bit more information about 'the Loft' to make it easier for people to find it and (I may be wrong about this but quite sure I am not) there is no such place in the bullring itself. There is a place not too far from there called the 'the loft lounge' (http://www.theloftlounge.co.uk/) so I am not sure if this is the place Abrera meant. But seeing as (according to Google) the loft lounge is only a 7 minute walk away from both New Street Station and the bullring it shouldn't be any harder for people to get to so unless any one has any objection (or an address for 'the loft' in the bullring) I would suggest changing the location to the loft lounge to save any confusion.

Well having been to.... what is it 3 now... munchs for ‘other things’ I am no expert but it is pretty much act as you would act if you was meeting up with your friends (well if you are anything like me there will be a bit more nerves neck rubbing etc than when I meet most of my friends but you know what I mean). Just wear normal cloths etc (if you are going to wear or have to that is fine as long as it is not intentional noticeable) and pretty much talk about anything you like. I tend to find other than the odd joke and innuendo most of the conversation tends to be about normal every day stuff but that doesn't have to be the case.

Seeing as I ask the question I may as well give my answer. I am of the view that it really doesn’t make any difference. The whole thing is going on in your head anyway and is really suspense of reality so to make a big thing about one person age whilst overlooking the fact I am not really 3 yours old and have no physical need for nappies seem a little strange. As long as the roles feel real i.e. the other person seem in control an makes me feel little and safe then it does matter to me if they are young than me, the same age or older. Plus if I am meant to being in the role of someone around 2, 3, 4 years old anyone that I would be ok with doing anything like this with would be old enough to be my mummy or daddy regardless of if in realty there is not that much of a difference in age. And you make a good point that if you are also in a ‘normal’ relationship with the other person you are likely to want someone around own age for all the other parts of your relationship.

Well it is looking like people ether don’t mind which or they proffer the 6th so unless someone shouts at me in the next day or two it is looking like it will be the 6th. I am only rushing to get a date so that I can post on other sites so people that don’t us DD can possible come. Good Point about being able to find each other. I think the normal way at munchs is to put and A-Z on the table but that is not always too effective, well not once you have a few people there that least. I am not keen on any idea that has anything to do with AB stuff as the point is that no one else knows. I will happily post a photo of me on here so that there is something to go by (partly just because I never like the idea of meeting people I haven’t seen before so I am guessing other people proffer to know what other people look like too). Other than that can’t think of much else we can do. As a general point the way munchs normally work is there is a set start time when you can expect that there will be some people there and then a ruff end time and then you pretty much turn up when you like have a bit of a chat and then leave again when you like. Seeing as the bullring close at 5 on Sundays, and as far as I know the Loft is in the bullring, May I suggest a start time of 12?

Hi there all after a recent conversation I discovered a difference of opinion about something so thought I would see what others think. The question that came up was should the person in being mummy/daddy etc be quite a bit older then the person in the child/baby role so that it is possible that there are really there parent. To give it some context it came up as a friend of mine who is about 3 years older than me has been playing the daddy role with/for me and my friend ask ‘who can he be your daddy when he is so young’ (may not be an exact quote but near enough ) This is in no way me trying to prove I am right as... well it is something that is up to you how you do it and who you do it with but just wonder what the general view is.

Cool I will hope to see you both there And Tommy are you ok with both of the dates I suggested? Or is there one that would be better than the other? And if everyone say that they are ok with both I think we will go for the closest as with thing that a few months away people then to say yes now then forget and double book.

Ok then Abrera, sorry to hear you can’t make it but thanks for helping out with a place to meet (and you never know the way this is going it may go back to being a weekday lol) Ok well I think it has gotten to the point where we just need to pick a date but I am quite aware of the fact it can’t be any time too too soon but it is also getting closer to Christmas (and the finical and family commitment that come with it) so don’t want to leave it too long ether. But before Christmas may not now be possible for some people The easiest way to sort this may be a straight vote. If you are wanting to go which date would be best for you Sunday the 6th of December Or Sunday the 7th of February (If you have any other time dates etc you would proffer it to be still feel free to say, I am just trying to make it as simple and clear cut as possible) And just in case you have not read the rest of the post I think it is the general view that it will be at the Loft in Birmingham about midday.

AJ I am not sure if you was one of the people I was thinking about when I said that, I may have assumed it would be too far for you to want to travel but of course it would be great to if you can go. I know there is someone else that was going to post saying that they thought the Loft is a perfectly good place to meet but they clearly have got around to it yet but unless any one object to it I for one would be fine saying we will meet there then if we ever get it going Are ‘we’ still saying that Sunday is the best day? If so may I suggest me say it will happen no soon than six weeks to give us time to get it sorted and give people time to plan. So if anyone is 99.9% sure they will be going and there is a weekend they know they will not be able to make it say so so that we can avoided having it on that weekend... or if any way has a weekend in mind they would really like to have it on then say so and if every (or enough people) are ok with it we will go with that. (so if there is a weekend you really really want it on I would post quickly if I was you, lol)

Abrera just to be clear is that some where you think would be a good place to meet? It would seem from what you say that is not but I can’t think of a reason you would post saying a place you don’t think we should meet... and if you don’t think that would be a good place to meet is there any where you can think that would be good to meet? As far as I am concerned as long as it has seat and the person 3m away can hear me then it is good enough.

Well I think it is quite likely that it would happen if all the people that are thinking they would like to go said so (there seem to be a few of them before a day and time was half set, odd that) and if the people who know the area we are currently looking at meeting could post ideas of possible meeting place (nice quiet pubs or something similar). Unless those two things happen then you are quite right it will not happen but seeing at it did seem like there was a few people that wanted to meet up I can't see any reason why it should be possible for it to happen. On the second point abrera, and I may be wrong about this but seeing as you seemed to be able to give good reason why the place saya suggested would not be suitable I am guessing I am not, your input may be of some use if you can think of somewhere to have the meet if it does ever happen.

Well I was starting to lose hope with this but maybe it will happen after all I do know there are a few other people that don’t come on here or at least not much that are interested in go so may have a fair few people turn up if and when it happens. Benjie if there are certain dates you know you will not be able to make it we may be able to work around them. Oh and Suddy if you was to get the train I am guessing you would get off at Birmingham new street (I could be wrong) and if that is the case it may be easier to meet some else that is going to that station. As for driving... I have no idea.

I guess there is not much point deciding on somewhere to meet until we know if enough people are interested and can all make it there. So if the Munch was to be somewhere near Birmingham new street station starting at around 1 o’clock on a Sunday who would be going?

Ok then so where is good? I have only been to Birmingham city centre twice so this is not something I can really have much of an in-put in but having been to a munch before I would say the things you really need are large setting areas, not too loud music etc and idealy quite at the time the much is to be held. Anything else like food etc is great but as long as you can all sit together and talk it tends to make for a good munch.

Well as much as hate to say it (lol) it would seem the only place everyone is at least sort of ok with is Birmingham and seeing as abrera seem keen to go it would be nice to avoid Saturday if possible how would people feel about midday Sunday so it is still likely possible for people that live and work in other cities. Also if it is going to be in Birmingham I would think some here near Birmingham new street station would an idea (?) does anyone know any pubs that may suitable around the area.

Clearly I would like it to happen in Leicester as it would be easiest for me to get to and I think most people will most like say there nearest city for there convenience. What may be a little more help full is if people say the place they would be willing to travel to. Then when one city gets enough people saying they would be willing and able to get to a munch there we hold one in that city and see how it goes. Personally I am fairly easy as I will most likely get the train to any city that is picked other than Leicester so it does make a whole lot of difference (i.e. my list is any sizeable city in the midlands) Also on the Time and date I am guessing where ever it is people will be coming from cities other than the one it is in so to make it easier for people who are travelling, about 2pm and Saturday may not be a by option.

(sorry if I sound dum here but) Do you mean Picture with writing over them? if so I am sure Junior want mind me say that this is not a bad place to look http://www.babyjunior.co.uk/gallery/ them are a lot if you go here http://www.babyjunior.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=46

I have had that happen once. I was working aroud a park with some friends 9you know how you are ) and had wet a a couple of times. Luckly the last time that mad it leak was just before we had home was I didn't notice it had happed but from the back it was very clear it had, so was quite a close escape really.

by the way I may be confused and just mixing up your name but is this the same brother that you where asking if you should be ask if he is a DL or not?

crazziest thing I have done was going to a park that no use and striping down to my nappy and taking some photos. very scarried at first but after a minute started to become very fun. Not that I will be doing it again, not any time soon

you would think with all these problems we would all give up and just sit down, lol.

I have a dog, a cat, 2 Rabbits, 3 rats and a pond full of fish (think there is 15 in there right now) My perants always so no more but it never quite works like that, lol slight oddity is we didn't chouse to get the 2 rabbits we have right now, we found them both (sepratly) and no one clamed them a few of you seem to have stray cats but can you beat a stray rabbit

Yes largely speaking we had a good time. As for it happening again am fairly sure that it will but to a large extent I think it will be a more private thing with a more carefully selected group. Not that there was any one there that I didn’t want there or anything like that. Just that there is now a small group of us and have had a bit of a change in our view of meeting new people (slightly speaking for other people there, hope they don’t mind). Not saying I/we wouldn’t not like you to meet you just that we would have to know you and consider you a friend. On a related topic... I was wounding (and this is really just me thinking out loud) if anyone would be interested in a large get together like, what I think, a AB camping thing I have heard about in Canada. Maybe find someone that owns a camp site and see if they would rent it all out for a weekend . Just an idea, be intrusting to hear other ideas.

In sort sort, Sort of, the date has been change so the meet up hasn't happened yet (and I have been busy so not up dated here) but it is now happening on the 6th of feb. There have been a number of other changes and now we have gone from a point of having near to 20 people 'saying' they are coming to it being 8 people at the most. One thing I must say is I have learnt a lot from trying to put this together and whilest I have been put off the idea I may try it againand see what happens. As a little side not the new thing is just a little get together at a travelodge near Birmingham, if any one does wish to come you are welcome to but you will have to book your own room and if a few new people say they are coming you/we can sort out about shairing a room if you wish to cut the cost.
