I see that there's been a recent surge of interest in the "Social Groups" area of the forum. Well, I've looked through all of them but couldn't find a single one that I might become a part of.

So, I've gone and started a new group. It's called "The Odd Man Out" and it's dedicated to all the people who go to the social groups section and don't find one they might be a member of.

Let me elaborate. I live near none of the "regional" social groups. I am not a man of substance. I don't have an interest in a particular tartan, or share the same passion for historical re-creationism, piping, drumming, dancing and so on as some others might (which is interesting in itself because I tend to have many interests). Neither am I ever the gentleman (though I try my best to be, in good conscience I wouldn't have the chutzpah to join that group), and my name doesn't match any of the clan affiliations or septs that might result from having such a name.

Therefore, being the odd man out, I invite any and all those who want to be part of a social group to join up and celebrate our oddity together!

For goodness sakes, WHY? you might ask. Why not? I would answer. For the same reason that '42' is the answer to life, the universe and everything.

A shortcut to the group is here:

Cheers, and See you there!
