So, had date on Sunday, another one this Friday - what do you think of this?

[shineoncrazydiam0nd]

Had warm ish date with man on Sunday evening and we have arranged to go for dinner etc this Friday and ..well, see how the night goes I suppose!

I already know him in that I went out with him for six month when I was 14 and he was 17 - we are now 39 and 42 respectively and our paths have crossed again so just seeing how things go really. I have only seen him once or twice over the past 25 years and not at all for the past decade or so.

So, we go out for a drink on Sunday. He is not some jack the lad, he is the UK's top person in his specific field, very intelligent man. I get in his car and he has a can of beer on the go. I make some comment and he says that he always has a can of beer when driving along. I'm not sure what to think about that! Obviously you'd have some questions to answer if the coppers pulled you over etc but WHO has to have a beer when driving? An alcoholic? An 18 year old lad trying to impress? Is this NORMAL behaviour? I suppose I wondered what was the urgency..

We then drive off to the pub. He drove at 95miles PH along the road - a 50 zone. I swear to God I nearly wet myself. We were taking corners at literally breakneck speed. I told him to slow down - he did so by about 3 mph! He was laughing and incredulous that I was so scared - ' but this is a top of the range BMW! The brakes are incredible and there's about 7 air bags on your side alone ... '

So... is he a twat? Tell me straight. my radar is not good really at the best of times when it comes to men. He is lovely, btw.

carly- yes, I do know what it is like on here. Have been called a cunt more times than I care to recall over the years.

But shiney you're under no obligation to report back with the truth. We'd all be delighted happy with some hilariously embellished fiction.

Also, those offering inappropriate cod psychology will look all the more silly when they're responding to outlandish tales of sexual exploits.

drwhose- you are incredibly wrong about me. I am happy for people to be frank with me. i don't play the martyr and I am really quite straightforward on here.

Im obviously a source of fascination to you though

Do you...fancy me?!

Oh here we go, why don't you get BoF as well and the rest of your gang to slag off anyone who doesn't agree with you, its the usual form.

I don't care if you don't like my opinion. MN is about different opinions. I hate people who drink and drive and I hate people who drive like idiots. Put the 2 together and I despise them. To them send someone else in the car of someone like this is absolutely disgraceful of you.

And no, I really don't need to live vicariously through you. I tend to have a bit more respect for myself. You should try it one day.

You do fancy me don't you?

You did play the martyr though Shiney, you told me you would report me posting as a personal attack because you didn't like what I said. Oh poor you, you posted asking for opinions, you got them, and didn't like them so decided to pull the old 'I am leaving the thread and reporting anything you post as a personal attack' You then made a personal attack on another poster.

Fancy you.......course I do. I've got a can of special brew and a big exhaust on my BMW....surely I am up for a shag

Reality: I think you have to get a big forehead tattoo for this gang. The best kinds of gangs require facial tattoos.

And by 'best', I mean the kind you don't get out of alive.

Shit. Where's my popcorn and comfy chair! I went downstairs to fetch the hoover, come back up and check the thread for updates, and WOOOOOOAAAAAAH!!!!

Let me get my guitar, light a campfire and we can all sing Kumbaya and have a can or two of ginger pop (OP, sorry, beer-quaffing driver man isn't allowed!)

OK? Can you just calm down?? (And why did MNHQ delete?)

This is why I love MN. It's bonkers!! I'm currently getting my ass kicked on another thread, I'm trying THIS one for light relief, and it's no better. It's enough to make a girl weep!!

I'd like to be in a gang.

But I am only really here because I haven't had a date for 24 years and this constitutes a frisson of excitement in my book.

Well mine and damsels -although she doesn't even need it to be true so is sadder than me

I only want to hear he has a tiny dick if it's true. I'm a sort of truth fetishist.

WE WANT CAN MAN WE WANT CAN MAN
BECAUSE HE CAN CAN YES HE CAN CAN

I'm quite happy to position myself as a more tragic case than you Paggy. I'm not sure I'm cut out for gang life though. Do we have to kill a thread to join?

the Can Man Gang

Catchy, no?

Are we allowed to place bets that any between-the-sheets-shenanigans will be rather, erm . . . . . .premature shortlived, but it will absolutely definitely never have happened to him before?

That would be too radical for me damsel.

Perhaps we could agree on some nice matching shoes or accessories?
We could be the Russell and Bromley posse. But probably not the shoe crew.

Canmangang...

Possible.

I've always been in Shiney's gang.

(why did Reality's post get deleted?
oooh, she's naughty )

She got deleted for a rather feisty 'fuck off.'

I've been away weeping in a corner.

What's with this? Are the AIBU rules leaking out onto other boards now?

ABF - Yes! It would appear so. I have been so bullied on here to day.

I've reported you all and if you're in my FB, deleted you too.

You are a foamer-magnet, Shiney. Fact.

On a serious note... (never thought I'd type those words) HQ really need to put out a reminder that yes, you can be blunt, to the point, have lots of bunfights, and be downright abusive sometimes on AIBU but maybe posters could act with a smidgeon bit more respect and decorum on other boards, especially relationships.

I think manners should be employed on all boards. No need for foaming and rudeness.
