Lionsdrinkbellinis is an informal group created to start a series of tasting sessions for drinks and foods you may have never tried or think you don't like. It has now escalated into bi-monthly events celebrating any occasion that seems fit such as the launch of Sex and the City and Mamma Mia on DVD, Bonfire Night, the January Blues, Burns Night or just an excuse to get people together on a Friday night. The idea is the nights are fun, sociable, affordable and possibly even a little bit educational (if you can remember in the morning!). There is no limit on age or type of person. It is most definitely not a singles group and we welcome people who have just moved to Bristol or those just wanting to meet some new people. So far the group has sampled tastings of New Zealand’s 42 Below Vodka, Rum, Brandy, Cheese, Gin, Ice Cream, Pieminister Pies and Champagne. The evenings are held at The Picture House on Whiteladies Road or The Kingsdown Vaults on Kingsdown Parade in Bristol. jo** **lionsdrinkbellinis.com. [5/11/08]

I am a lover of the 80\'s mostly.... and recent stuff as above, but also am big on artists such as David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Idol, G\'N\'R, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Europe and other big haired 80's dudes, as well as the feeling, scouting for girls, newton faulkner and plenty of others... as i said, eclectic bigtime.

So looking to meet some new pals, m or f.

Also just up for a chat, meals and drinks, days out, etc. And if you can handle a Rocotillos milkshake occasionally, that's a bonus!

I'm Mel,23, i'm a singer and i've been trying to get the ball rolling on gettin a band together for around a year now... unsuccessfully due to the nutcases i keep finding! lol! Basically, i do work full time in a hospital and so the band is not aiming at being full time, but more of a venture i would like people to share with me as i really want it. I have a friend, Laura, who is extremely multi talented, plays drums, bass and guitar but is aiming to be the drummer for this venture..... so ideally a female bassist and guitarist and maybe more would be awesome. It's not until meeting Laura that we thought an all girl band would be cool... as the experience i have had with the dudes over this time has been ceerap. Although i am pretty variable and my music taste is totally eclectic.... all sorts. However i am more of a rock chick.... and i'm talking 80's rock, not heavy metal! Every karaoke i do consists of Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf etc.... however Laura has pointed me out as a Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne type as i am big into them, female wise. I am a lover of the 80's mostly.... and recent stuff as above, but also am big on artists such as David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Idol, G'N'R, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Europe and other big haired 80's dudes, as well as the feeling, scouting for girls, newton faulkner and plenty of others... as i said, eclectic bigtime. Laura so far is into all the same stuff and a male drummer we have been trying to squeeze enthusiasm out of has been having a different view, on the rare occasion he shows one that is.... she was first to say she'd prefer to do all this type of music, and go all female if possible, so i am totally happy with that If any dudettes out there are interested and are also early to mid twenties, let me know!
