As title really, its tomorrow and chatting to him now, but its going to be a disaster. I've been sucked in by a pretty face. Am I being too picky?

Education are missing a marketing trick, though, aren't they?

Ext. shot of....ooh...Dave Cameron or Mickey Gove:

'Hey! You there! Are you a little bit thick or lazy? Too dozy for A Levels? Why not try a HND? They're really easy don'tcha know!! We practically give 'em away!

HND - not worth the paper they're written on (thumbs up to camera & cheeky wink)'.

Cue fanfare, streamers, pics of students with their jumpers on backwards or summat clutching rolled up bits of paper & grinning inanely at the camera. Or just off camera, because they're dim.

I thought tinder was an autocorrect thing when I read the title

Fair point MammaTJ Grin

Beastofburden · 14/09/2014 22:11

Maybe they could give a free subscription to tinder with every worthless BTEC and HND?

Obviously, only valid for ppl 10 years older or more than you.

Lifesalemon · 14/09/2014 22:11

letsfacethemusic So did I. You learn something everyday.
That's what I love about MN. It's so educational.

I wasn't going to comment on this thread as it is so obviously a wind up (must be?!?!) Adis Ababa made me wet my pants laughing!!!!

Fairylea · 14/09/2014 22:13

Isn't something called "fuckbook" the new tinder?? I read about that on a thread on relationships on here the other day. I met dh on plenty of fish. That was wild enough for me

MaryZ.

Is that eye narrowing affectionate, in the same way as my comment? Grin

Warbling it's been years since I was on the dating scene (I met my dh before the era of technology took over). I had to google tinder to find out what it was Blush. My friend's friend doesn't have the best track record with guys but the guys off tinder were in a league of their own (and not in a good way!).

iklboo · 14/09/2014 22:35

He may be the heir to the Baxters Soup fortune.....gets freebie tins as a perk.

LEMmingaround · 14/09/2014 22:36

Just get him to send a picture of his cock. Then decide.

Is tinder like the grab a granny night of a night club? Or is the term cougar these days? Im 43 and not too fussy.....

WarblingOyster · 14/09/2014 22:37

Sweets Be thankful for DH and your ability to avoid Tinder Grin it's ridiculous, I go on it occasionally to have a browse (it's basically a catalogue of men, choose the ones you fancy Hmm ) but some profile statements are basically 'just on here for sex, if you're down for that, swipe right' I'd rather stay alone for a bit longer Confused

WarblingOyster · 14/09/2014 22:38

No LEM hot young thangs like me are on there Wink

Agree with the cock picture. Does he stroke the shaft or let it lie? Envy

NoImaginationUsername · 14/09/2014 22:42

I really want a bowl of soup now.

I am sure I have an old tin in the depths of my kitchen. Just off to have a rummage around...

But Heinz Cream of Tomato with a couple of twists of black pepper and the crust off a fresh Farmouse loaf is tantamount to Heaven.... and I don't care whrre Berlin is when I'm getting my chops round that.

WitchWay · 14/09/2014 22:50

Heinz Cream of Tomato with a hint of Basil is much nicer

(will he know what basil is?)

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 14/09/2014 22:55

I hope you mean fresh basil. Dried is a bit 'factory food' dontcha know Grin
