Yesterday's Newcastle Furmeet ended in a gay bar and in this gay bar there were three drunken people (E-I-E-I-O) - one lady and two gentlemen. On spying my collar, they asked me what it was about and foolishly I didn't say I was a goth but started talking about animals. They asked me if I was gay - surely the fact I was wearing a dog collar in a gay bar and hugging guys gave it away but there you go.
Five minutes later they came over to where I was sitting with a rolled up newspaper and bashed me across the muzzle with it, saying I was a bad boy. I was being good but I thought it was funny :)
The Newcastle Meet itself was a very relaxed affair and I think the dynamic is very good now. We met in the Lounge (which I always called the Lobby) for pre-meet drinks, drawing and dimly lit surroundings. We also had a Yiff cake that was made with jam and cream and was a really strange blue/green colour. I spilt my cream on the floor and was ordered to lick it up. I didn't.
Some of us then went to The Hancock Museum whilst another group went to Twist, via Hustlers, the pool people (as in the game rather than the soggy chlorinated experience). The splitting of the groups worked and I am glad people can now do what they like to do and guarantee to meet in a central location later on.
The Hancock was good but I didn't realise there were loads of stuffed animals in the main hall as you enter. This upset a few people, which wasn't good. The Museum itself was fascinating - I spent the word "Wank" with some letters and I learned a lot about Hadrians Wall, Egyptology and the Etruscans. I also had some bad memories return in the palaeontolgy and geology sections - I never wanted to hear the words Widmannstatten Structure again. I also missed the live snakes, thankfully.
After that, a few of us went to an Italian Restaurant in The Gate. The food was good but the toilets were so white, it was like the dizzy euphoria you get after a really good paw. There was no soap as well, making cleaning up difficult. We all got started and four of us got Skins - so we asked for foreskins and the waitress was far from impressed.
Apart from that, I drank, got a commission (which was excellent) and caught up with everyone. Great day indeed.
