Meet the Punters

So I had another gathering with some of the Punters on Friday night. Of course, you all know this, as the only people who read this are pretty much said Punters. To the rest of you, thank you so much for visiting. The horse doovers are over on the card table in the corner, please leave all gifts at the door (ok, just inside) and all basic drinks are on the house. No, not spirits, do I look like a charity?

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. The Punters do was a fairly quiet affair, farewell drinkies for Chesty. However a couple of said Punters brought along their significant others, as much as one of said 'others' is a blogger in her own right. They seemed really nice, but I did find myself wondering exactly what they made of the gathering. Just how interesting/cool/non-sleep inducing is it to hang out with a bunch of people who you have never met, and who spend the evening talking about that hysterical post the other day when so and so totally flamed thingamajig.

I reckon that is about as interesting as someone say talking about computer games or wine or....something.

So, what do you think? Should 'others' be subjected to these experiences, even if they are willing participants. Are they doing so just to see who your weird internet friends are? What did these 'others' think of the whole thing (be gentle - ok, don't)?

These questions and many more will be answered when we return to....
