I think he's banking on the 'portion double quick' being mistaken for an offer of a double portion.

That confused me too mercury - I assumed I'd just missed something.

mercury7 · 17/12/2012 23:07

Ok, I messaged him and asked about his double portion....

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 17/12/2012 23:07

Could someone very kindly supply subtitles for Peter the portion?

He lost me at 'cobbles'....

FlorentinePogen · 17/12/2012 23:09

Next thread title could now include:-

  1. Torso rubber
  2. Contents of testes
  3. Cerebral nonsense
  4. double-quick portion

Pete the Portion needs to see this (I know, I know, already posted this but it's so good...BTW, my daughter brought it to my attention Smile)

POF has depressed me so much tonight I have been driven to create a new drink in its honour --cherry brandy and orange juice dubbed 'the rubbers' revenge' its quite nice actually ....far tastier than anything on POF.

ike1 · 17/12/2012 23:29

Its kinda like a crap Tequila Sunrise...anyone tempted????

FlorentinePogen · 17/12/2012 23:32

WhatDoes, I'll be honest, I was a bit concerned when DD told me to watch that CRJ parody vid and I noticed the 'Chatroulette' tag. She's never been on this site, the clip was just something she came across on YouTube....however, Chatroulette is used by lots of teens (and others Confused ) for 'visual stimulation purposes'. A bit depressing, really.

JulietteMontague · 17/12/2012 23:49

Agh my eyes hurt. I just had to look, didn't I Confused

BantaBaby · 18/12/2012 00:18

My problem is I find it difficult to diplomatically say no...

cafecito · 18/12/2012 00:34

so I saw mraloof today at our weekly gym thing and we went for drinks afterwards because our instructor wanted to (This NEVER happens) and mr aloof took me and gym man to meet 2 of his best friends in a pub Confused they were lovely, they seemed to know of me, they were like 'OH you're cafecito'.. then mr aloof went home on his own while we were all still there, and I didn't get up to leave with him (I had 3 drinks, I never drink so I'm now typing drunk).. was this a faux pas? and was mr aloof inviting me to meet his friends a significant thing?

*frets

cafecito · 18/12/2012 00:36

I really like mr aloof and clearly emotionally unavailable man Sad I know there's not a relationship there but he is so nice. I don't want to like him as much as I do because I know I will get hurt (this is the guy I see but once a week)

cafecito · 18/12/2012 00:38

banta I find a man who says no reaaaally attractive (though it's only mr aloof who does this) but being around him has made me be more like that too. I am now really good at saying no. It feels a lot better to do things on your terms.

cafecito · 18/12/2012 00:41

also, any man who makes goulash = instantly irresistible

cafecito · 18/12/2012 00:44

milk I don't know how to react if someone is nice to me either, i feel a bit smothered and slightly weirded out by it. But I was with a totally abusive ex P for 6 years, who, in true Jungian fashion, was very much like my abusive mother, so it's probably for me just that I have just never had anyone be nice to me (except a bf when I was 19 who I dumped for being too nice) issues..etc.

BantaBaby · 18/12/2012 01:17

Right. At-home date-update .

She turned up and wasn't as attractive as the least attractive picture. That said, she wasn't scary looking so I thought we'd give it a couple of drinks. I could see fairly straight off that she quite fancied me, eye contact, touched my wrist etc. So I had a choice between only drinking coffee for myself when she asked for wine or having beer/wine too. I had beer. Then wine. She got more attractive when slightly fuzzy round the edges.

We talked for a long time, have lots in common, made each other laugh. Had dinner, had a cigarette (yes I know I'm a horrible smoky person) talked more. Moved on to a later bar and kissed on the way. Was kind of startled by her shark-attack approach of kissing but it was actually okay. Had more drinks, took the piss out of younger people in the bar, discussed drugs policy and the ramifications of Gandhi's pacifism with modern indian politics with students. Although that was mostly me. She watched, amused.

Worked out how to diplomatically say 'no' by saying 'You've got to stop grabbing my crotch, you know' before putting her in a taxi. She wants to see me again, I'm 50/50.

cafecito · 18/12/2012 01:19

sounds like it went well! do you like her though? or was it more going through the motions out of politeness?

cafecito · 18/12/2012 01:22

by shark-attac kissing, can you elaborate? I have (I omitted this in my earlier posts) been on 2 dates with a guy earlier this year, though I forgot about him.. eek.. Im not horrible, honestly. Anyway he was utterly lovely. Except the way he kissed me. EEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWW it was the most frightening thing. I never called him again, never answered his texts. There was nothing wrong with this chap at all, he was absolutely great. Except for that. That was a non negotiable thing. it was chillingly bad.
