And would you do anything if you could completely get away with it?! Mine is my daughter’s swimming teacher, he has the sexiest smile and is so good with the kids. Totally gives me the flutters but I’m guessing he’s not into overweight bespectacled women in their forties! Grin

I was messaging MusicianTom today (about work, or the lack of it). Thought for a moment about telling him about my crush, and then remembered the 15 year age gap, and the fact that he is beautiful and talented, and I'm a dumpy middle aged potato.

Damn @SuckingDieselFella you were right. 2 emails from Cop Tom and i am calling him tomorrow!

SuckingDieselFella · 23/03/2020 23:25

Yay! Two messaging Toms!

Nope. Totally dead from waist down. Would love to have a crush on someone.

SuckingDieselFella · 23/03/2020 23:53

Random suggestion but how about Jon Snow?

This song sums up my crush - it’s been 20 years (10 before I knew it was mutual)

@Unrealist
Oh my goodness that's sad. Why can't you get together?

I am doing my last assignment for my Tom. Feeling a bit sad but I don't think it would work out. The jumpers are a big drawback, plus I think he is woke.

@SuckingDieselFella
Loads of chemistry and good friends but both married.

Are they too in the zone of wholeness for love? Think some are. They have their inner Superman switched on busy saving the world.

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 24/03/2020 15:06

Wokeness not wholeness!

SuckingDieselFella · 24/03/2020 18:45

Wokeness is a sign they can't think for themselves.

SuckingDieselFella · 24/03/2020 20:55

I had a bit of humiliation today. Tom's colleague called me and mentioned the lockdown. He said, you're on your own there, right? I have never mentioned my domestic set-up to any of them. He just ASSUMED. Shock

wizzywig · 24/03/2020 22:26

@SuckingDieselFella how did he say it? In a concerned way or a 'of course youre on your own' way?

SuckingDieselFella · 24/03/2020 22:47

In a concerned way. But why the assumption? I don't wear a wedding ring but there could still be a Tom at home.

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 25/03/2020 14:43

Teacher voice. He might be on auto pilot at the moment. And an attempt at empathy due to feeling overwhelmed himself.

Send him a joke/cartoon in an email to lighten the mood.

SuckingDieselFella · 25/03/2020 16:01

I don't think he meant anything unpleasant by it. But even so... Sad

I may not ever see my Tom again. The geeks will be enjoying lockdown. Plenty of time for their research projects or tinkering in the lab/shed.

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 25/03/2020 16:56

Yes.

However, there will be plenty of #heroToms around. Lots of the quiet ones are showing their worth now.

SuckingDieselFella · 25/03/2020 16:58

Good point.

Omg I had #HeroTom today (via the sky) and the only annoying thing was that there was no touching and it was more productive because chemistry was definitely lost in transmission.

SuckingDieselFella · 25/03/2020 18:39

Via the sky?

Toms can fly!!!!!

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 25/03/2020 18:41

He's got his cape on, remember? #SupermanTom

SuckingDieselFella · 25/03/2020 18:45

True.

Mine can only fly around the library and the library is closed.

I'm thinking that I need a Tom for our times. Ant Middleton Need to re-think my Tom attractiveness criteria.

Allaboardthemagicbus2020 · 25/03/2020 19:06

A Tom for our times?

Surely
