Ultra Heavy Happy Hour (IHF Virtual Gatherings) Thread

[Matt]

I don’t doubt it.  I just liked that one because the description is pretty bonkers.

[Matt]

I like the Larkin.

@Matt:

I like the Larkin.

Perfect poem imho. Funny story, he was nailed on to be Poet Laureate, and then he wrote that. Quite probably in the spirit of wilful self sabotage.

I love that poem so much. Really one of the most accurate pieces of writing I've ever encountered in life, haha…

Also love Poetry Foundation. What a treasure, that site.

[popvulture]

And let me add that I as well agree that there's a lot of beauty in life, and I very much love kids (even though I have none).

But that poem's a gem.

[Matt]

You love them because you have none.

[goosehd]

Thank you and thoroughly enjoyed.

@neph93:

I’d imagine @ARNC  is familiar with a bit of Larkin.

I'm not a huge poetry guy, but everyone in the UK learns that particular Larkin poem at a pretty young age! In terms of my bookshelves I probably only have Wilde and a copy of the Rubaiyat (pretty much compulsory for anyone who reads Saki).

Whenever the next is gonna be I'll need to be sure and mark the calendar, it's two in a row missed for me at this point and I'm feeling out of the loop 

[ARNC]

@Joberwocky hope you can make it next time. I’m sure it’s the big dong that you’re really missing

Absolutely

The May 2022 happy hour(s) will be on Saturday 21st May, starting at 7pm BST…

In addition to all things IH, recent topics of conversation have included beer, philosophy, mental health, and strange messages you get on your phone from old friends... Also, we are often presented with @ARNC 's big dong on an hourly basis. If that doesn't sound like a boss night in, then I don't know what more you need….

Here's the link:

For the uninitiated, this is nowhere near as bad as @neph93  makes it sound! My avatar shows the source of the aforementioned big dong.

Some sort of male chastity belt?

I'll be working, this go-round. I was told to expect a long day. I may be able to pop in, for a few minutes, during a break…

[popvulture]

I'm gonna try to hop on again. Enjoyed it last time.
