  I'd always objected to the concept that tv's should be herded into a venue and expected to simply get along because they shared a similar interest, when many of these people were simply not the type of people I'd ever associated with in real life. Indeed, would be quite happy to avoid. making friends in the TV world has always seemed to be topsy-turvy. Back to front, so the idea of a social event where you could meet people in "normal" mode, find out if you get along and then, over time, make friends, seemed, to me, to be eminently wise and sensible.

  So, it was with mixed feelings that I went to my first ever London DRAB at Waterloo. being a bit of a Pub Snob, the venue was a soulless nothing kind of a place, but there were a load of peiople there, all chatting away, so in for a penny, in for a pound.

  Bought a drink and sat down and listened for a while. feeling intensely comfortable, i knew that the only way i could come away from this evening and consider it a success (as opposed to many other events over the years I had attempted to launch myself upon the world) was if I overcame the discomfort and struck up some conversations.

  There was an intense oddness at first. The sheer madness born out of meeting total strangers halfway across London in a dull bar and them all be transgendered. BUT-discomfort, as it always does, gave way to conversation and comfortability and I look forward to meeting up again
