When do you stop being a newbie?

This is just my random thought for the morning which I’ve put out for the community.

As it says when would you classify yourself as not being a newbie any more?

Me for example, only been on scene 3 months, but have met people, been to a club where I had a lot of group and individual fun.

Got a club membership

Got several club visits booked

Got a couple of friends and am chatting with others about meeting up when we can.

So am I still ‘new’

Discuss.

I don't buy into the 'newbie' stuff or set FAB or Swinging aside from life as something you must serve an apprenticeship at.

Apart from learning FAB rules and tech there is no such thing as a newbie.

People log on here for the first time at all stages of life and with a wide variety of stages of confidence.

Wether you feel as if you are floundering or swimming strongly is, essentially , down to you.

Discuss

When you fuck someone who has been “on the scene” for less time than you.

When you use the term “on the scene”

(Bonus points for “in the lifestyle”)

When you start a thread saying “has fab gone downhill”?

Its the upbeat, fun filled profiles you write that give you away. You just cant hide that happy go lucky positive vibe

Felix, does it have to be that order? I skipped the club attendance, chickened out on the last social (the lovely cookie has asked if I still wanted to be on the reserve list), but have had the Forum ban (on a number of occasions, and now am in danger of another as we must not mention such things - at my school, in my day, we still had lines, standing in the corner of the classroom, the blackboard rubber [wodden block with felt] thrown at you, sitting outside the heads office, the slipper, the cane, detention, suspension, expulsion - I sense that some of the Mods may have attended my school!!). I have been to the clique inititiation meeting at the 251 bus stop outside Arnos Grove Tube Station at 19.12 on the third Tuesday of the month, but not progressed beyond that (again I blame the Mods, who may have been prefects at my school - though some of them used to join us for a fag at the blank gable wall to the library).

If I am sent to the naughty step, I will offer a protest and point out that it was you who used the word 'ban' in the post to which I am replying, so it is only fair that you get a yellow card too/

Dude! What a massive stitch up

No, it doesn’t have to be done in order (other than the clique hierarchy which happens over several years, unless you bang all of them).
