Hang on... What about "General Life" or "Outdoor Chat" then?
Nah! Why change what seems to work? and .....erm..... maybe the fact that the thread is visited mainly by women rather than men could be the reason it is my favourite section or should that be sexion...
Think it was called life in genral before it got changed . I suppose its good to have a change now and then a bit like decorating once you reach the end you go back and start again .

Only one thing I'd like to see is somwhere for a more 'interesting' type of convo. You know, like the threads that keep getting locked? I just long sometimes for an intelligent and stimulating conversation/argument/discussion or whatever you want to call it. Just as we get a good debate going, it gets taken over by folk who just want to be stupid, and bang goes the thread!
You know what we're all like when we get together in real life? We chat & 'put the world to rights'? I'd love to be able to do that on the Forum too, without the idiots. I guess it's a selfish request anyway for me as I love this Forum, and I miss the Meets and the chance to have the crack with 'like-minded people'.
I think 'Life In General' just about sums it up, but I wish people could behave properly.
Funny you should say that Stu...I seem to remember that when I joined just over a year ago, it was only called 'Life in General'. Then it suddenly got the Outdoor bit added.
I suppose really anything to do with camping of any sort can find a home in one of the other forums anyway so all that should be in OL & GC is stuff that isn't to do with camping.
But I suspect what some people might like is a forum for outdoorsy things that don't fit into any of the other forums, where chat about things such as hill walking, mountaineering, canoeing, pot holing etc could be put, to keep it out of the general banter and therefore more easily found.

I know exactly what you mean stu. I found a really interesting forum lately that discussed loads of interesting stuff - philosophy, meaning of life, relgion etc. I'll see if i can find it again & post a link.
