loved this thread mumsnet rocks! well done Tiger and thanks shineon for the best mnet moment for a long time

Much as DH will be pleased that he didnt' have to get up with DS at 5.30am this morning, he will think I'm MAD that I leapt out of bed to do so...forgetting (silly man) that I had to check-in.

SO worth it - thank you girls, for the best best Easter present ever.

MNs around the world salute you.

Just wondering...... did jane have his email address or will he be able to suss out who it is by who knows it?

BalloonSlayer · 10/04/2009 21:41

Perhaps you could leave it a week or so Shiney, then say that your emotions have taken a dive.

And that you now feel rather cold about him

mn have to make this a classic surely?

lou33 · 10/04/2009 21:56

shine, tell him he's a bit of a wet fish

Dior · 10/04/2009 22:16

Well, it is all over then! Sorry youi had to find out how crap he is, but at least you knew before you got too involved.

And, we all got a laugh out of it!

HortonHatchesTheChocolateEgg · 10/04/2009 22:23

Really laughing hard at 'it's not all black and white'.

Shine, thanks so much for a really good laugh. I've enjoyed this so much!

thumbbunny · 10/04/2009 22:33

MNHQ are debating making the original a classic (have had an email from them) - perhaps they'll link the 2 together and make them both classic.

vaRIAtyisthespiceoflife · 10/04/2009 22:36

I wonder if he would be up for Jane asking for another date (at any of the suggestions, farm, wildlife park, duck pond etc). You may have helped him find his sense of humour?

LittleMissNorty · 10/04/2009 22:36

Fab thread(s)....well done

DSM · 10/04/2009 22:45

Oh, one of the best threads I have ever come across in 5 years of MN.

Shiney, Tiger - I salute you.

tigerdroveoverthebunnies · 10/04/2009 22:47

It was truly a (rather damp) pleasure. But I just turned up to observe. Shiny did all the running.

BottySpottom · 10/04/2009 22:51

did you say he was in the forces?

BottySpottom · 10/04/2009 22:53

sorry, just remembered he's in the RAF

JaquelinehydeAllTheEggs · 10/04/2009 22:54

A Truely amazing thread. Thank-you to all who contributed!

What a mug to stand there for that long to wait for a random stranger that could have been anybody.

This bloke seems like such a twat - I think you have done yourself a big favour by catching him out. Just think if you hadn't of replied to that text in the start you might never have caught him out.

heyvick · 10/04/2009 23:05

heyvick gets up, turns on computer, rushes to the loo, and races back to computer puffpuffpuff . She gets to part where the idjit has been stood up and breaks out in Happy Feet penguin dance roflmao. About to go to 2nd thread. Hi kerryy fancy seeing you here . Am about to get into rest of thread heehee

BottySpottom · 10/04/2009 23:15

Such a shame the Chubster and Jane's relationship is fictitious - they could have had a lovely wedding like this

TinkerBellesMumandFiFi2 · 10/04/2009 23:22

I've not been on MN for awhile so this thread is the first I've read about it, brilliant! I love the pages of "come on tiger!" the fastest I've read 14 pages in awhile!

Have you thought about nominating him for Britains Got Love Rats?
