Crotch grabbing, jelly nailing, double-quick portions and man parts floating in a pear tree...dating thread 33 survived Christmas so bring on NYE!

Here we are!

I think they know me by now Wallison lol...the nutter with the purple hair..

Ike, nothing wrong with a bit of drunken cavorting, and I've got 4 years on you.

oh good.xxxx

I never look at the use by dates on eggs. Meat, fish & dairy products yes - I'm the first to bin things that are probably perfectly edible (I start to imagine that food smells bad if it's out of date and then I gag and can't eat it). Eggs though, I don't know, never bother to look. Is that bad?

Went round to wish my friend and her DH (who is also going to be my new boss) a happy new year and he made us all fabulous poached eggs with smoked salmon. Yum!! He's very excited to have me start work, says he's got loads lined up for me to take on now he knows it's someone who can handle it.

Wonder what Mr Millipede would think if a bunch of random women from all over the country suddenly started emailing him asking about his millipede? I might rejoin OKC just for that!

Thanks ike and MrsArsebiscuit. I think I will send him a polite message along those lines. Silly man.

See, ike - think on what he's done; there are much worse things you can do on NYE. Bit of high spirits never hurt anyone.

Its funny tho Yoga... I am intrigued (horrified) as to why I match up so well with him on OKC ...

Outfit is a bit irrelevant as he just cancelled.

Rather typical of my luck really :(

Oh no! What reason did he give?

Oh no Velvet!! What a drag! Why???

He's tired and doesn't feel very sociable.

oh...um well..er I kinda know what he means I certainly couldnt manage a date today..

Wallison - yep, he's looking to rekindle something. Mentioning that it was fun fooling around back in the old days, that's one thing. Saying he wished it had gone further, that's an opening for you to say you did too and to see if he can have a bit on the side. Sorry. My answer to his 'don't know how to play relationships' would have been 'well you're married, aren't you. Surely you should be concentrating on that one'. But then I doubt he'd have been chatting to me anyway.

And Ike I do have my standards you know. I got winked at yesterday by a woman who actually looked like that kid out of The Mask - not the Jim Carrey one, but the one with Cher's on. Huge face. Very strange looking.

Nah, the one who winked at me was actually really very cute. I don't think I'll get back to her straightaway though as I'm trying to deal with 4 others at the same time. Harumph. It's so complicated being so damn popular.

He he Bant...I know you are an connoiseur of the female form in the nicest possible way...

Velvet, that is a bit rubbish. Surely at this stage he should be making an effort to be on his best behaviour, not mucking around and cancelling things?

That said, it is New Year's Day and lots of people all over the country are feeling tired but still ... make an effort, man, do.

Velvet I think cancelling for those reasons is understandable, but in his shoes I'd have come up with a better excuse, or put it differently.

Thanks for your perspective, Banta. I feel sorry for his poor wife.

He's probably not that interested in me after all. Or has had a better offer.

Did rather think it was too good to be true.

I don't think it's either of those things. He's probably got a raging hangover and doesn't want you to see him in his fragile and less-than-best state.

Sorry, Velvet, that's disappointing, perhaps he's about to come down with Norovirus so you're better off well away from that. Shudder.

Banta, I'm starting to see you as the thread's Tom Jones, circa 1970, sheltering from the hail of thrown knickers

and if I was in your shoes Velvet I think I'd reply along the lines of 'ok no probs' and then just leave things.
i.e. act like I don't care and leave the ball in his court

Or he has a sod of a hangover that has got worse throughout the day???

He might have pulled a muscle in his crotch trying to pole dance like a twat???

He did get drunk last night. He doesnt ever drink normally.

And he does have to be up at 5 for work.

well that's it then...

There you go then, he might not want to admit to being hungover. Or he might have been pole dancing, like Ike.

( that's just reminded me, I had a patient a couple of weeks ago, middle aged, perfectly respectable woman who when I asked how she'd injured herself, paused for a moment, then said that she'd had a couple of drinks, saw a pole, and decided to give it a go - a cautionary tale for us all )
