    Joining the forum/The Water thing

    I find it odd that many people at ceroc know about this forum but dont want to join but then ask me, has this come up or can you find out about this etc

    This women said the following (she knows Ive posted it) and I haven't altered it in anyway (I dont drink water) and I thought it was a very useful observation.

    However Ive told her she should join, what is said below is cleary an 'issue' for her so why dont people like that raise at venue on here etc I would tellthe event organiser . .........
    .................................................. .................................................. .

    "What really annoyed me though was catching some disgusting sweaty smelly man drinking from my water bottle – I pointed out to him that it was mine and he didn’t even pretend it was a mistake, just said something like he was really thirsty – I was so annoyed!! God only knows what sort of germs I might have got from drinking from the same bottle as him, he really did stink.

    Does this ever come up on your forum? 3 times in the last month I’ve realised other people have been drinking my water. I used to think it was by mistake but now I don’t think so, as I’ve started putting all sorts of markers on my bottles so no-one can confuse them with another. Seeing as you can pay £1.50 for a bottle of water, why do people take it when they wouldn’t steal someone’s beer, juice, coke etc?

    Anyway, I’ll come down off the ceiling in a minute. In future I’ll keep my water in my bag."

    ..................................

    The end

    Yes - but it might not work any more if I tell everyone else and they all adopt the same system...

    Someone sweating heavily at a dance? Well, I suppose that might be because he has some horrible contagious disease, but I think it's more likely that they've been possessed by a demon from the fifth circle of hell. A narrow escape: one sip from that corrupted well, and Water Woman would surely have lost her soul.

    Personally, I recommend tap water.

    Best to have 2 bottles of water - one you always put back in your bag under a chair the other you leave out laced with laxatives.

    s0rted.

    The one with most in it?

    Actually, I drink water now. I put the glass away from civilization, and, since I started putting my towel touching the glass, have not lost one.

    i think that its really good to be on the forum and pushing it is really good however!!!! Have you seen how many people have joined and not posted. IMHO thats a waste! Join and join in or dont join! Sorry but i feel if you want to find out something well then post. Imagine if ever one was just here to read the advice and no one gave it, well there would be very little advice and it would be a wick forum!!!!

    You can take something that floats and drop it in your drink as a marker.

    If you got something plastic and disgusting looking from the joke shop it would deter anyone from pinching your drink.

    I have to say that if I found ANYONE taking MY drink I would definately give them a Bo!!ocking.......Bl**dy cheek!

    That would work. If I saw a floater in a bottle of water I wouldn't go near it.

    Last night water was free and easily accessible. I still lost two glasses in the first hour, before moving it out of the "civilised" zone, and putting it on the floor in a corner.

    Re: Joining the forum/The Water thing

    One of my sailing friends regards the taking of other people's drinks as a sport. She, among many others, calls it 'minesweeping'. At some parties after busy regattas she has been known to get in a round of drinks for the whole crew by minesweeping - and she usually gets people's first choice of drinks. And I've never even heard about anybody minding. Of course, yacht clubs usually have tables covered with drinks at end of regatta parties - most of them belonging to crew members who have gone back to their digs; pulled; passed out; etc. I think people take the view that if you haven't drunk you drink quickly your weren't really thirsty and should donate it to someone who is.

    So, I think the answer is to drink your whole drink and throw away the empty. If you have a problem with that, buy smaller bottles and bring them out one at a time, drink the whole contents, etc. You could always re-use the smaller bottles.

    People not wanting to sign up for the forum?

    Maybe they've heard that Martin Harper will persistently give them negative rep for going off-topic

    Fantastic idea!! - I tried it last night. I must admit, it was a struggle getting it in the neck of the bottle, and buoy did it cause a few problems down at the yacht club (something about missing markers I believe), but it certainly did the trick!. No one drank my water! - mind you I did have a little difficulty drinking it myself

    On topic ....I have been spreading the word about this forum when I can, and I know a few friends have registered, with a couple having posted too .

    This forum provides {IMHO} the best online arena (in the present climate), for us all to help take the MJ world forward a few paces, and address issues such as Stewart's friend's drinks theft.
