lubeybooby · 27/12/2012 13:29

48 yes just to a local ish pub for small c coffee.

Nothing fits! Arsing stupid bloody xmas. grrr.

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 13:40

Lubey I've been put off Coffee for life after my Cambridge visit. In fact I've cleared some room on my shelves for my impending Oscar which is surely due after the performance I was very much forced to put on to 'bring things to a close'. Bleugh.

Yogagirl17 · 27/12/2012 13:41

It so fucking is you

I'm half tempted to resume OD just to have the chance to say that to someone! Grin

Was this the same Cambridge man you met in London the same afternoon I was meeting surreygirl there? I don't remember you saying what happened. if not, it was someone else, sorry. We Cambridge men get about a bit :)

yoga cabincrew this Saturday night, Shoegirl just after NYE when she can get a sitter. CC is exotic and interesting (and isn't actually cabin crew) Shoegirl is funny. Let's see how we go. Move to Budapest isn't until end if jan now, and will be for a couple of weeks only at first with lots of time back here, so dating is still doable.

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 13:50

Yes Bant - same man. Bloody awful. I didn't post about it afterwards as I have been hiding under the duvet in shame. Let's just say I got it majorly wrong and have learned from it! The best thing about the whole weekend was coming down with a severe migraine and having to leave very early on Sunday.

JulietteMontague · 27/12/2012 13:52

smooth so that is all we get? Grin

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 14:04

There may be more Juliette - as and when I can bear to actually type the words. Just to give you a flavour though, I'd been on 2 dates with a really nice guy and date 3 was in his home town with an overnight stay. But the first warning klaxon sounded when the witty and genial man of the previous 2 dates gave me a dead arm in the pub. He actually punched me really hard without warning and said that the last time he'd been in that particular pub, that's what he and his friends were doing. Obviously that was my cue to get up and leave...

FlorentinePogen · 27/12/2012 14:09

First warning klaxon...... Confused

That would have been the signal for emptying your glass into his face and running for the hills. He sounds like a total arsehole.

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 14:15

Florentine I know, I know. And he is.

Scattylatte · 27/12/2012 14:20

He gave you a dead arm? That is awful. Dont worry about the shame of posting everything on here...there is no shame. None at all. We are all in the same boat.

My dating life gets more thrilling by the day. I will see the fireman in next couple of weeks. He doesnt eat any kind of spicy food so we will go to somewhere non spicy. I think he wants to do something physical with me as he is never suggestive on text but sort of hints in that direction.

I have struck up convo with a man from pof who is a stripper at the weekends. He isnt very conversationalist though.

A couple reappeared on OKC to wish me a merry xmas

One who disappeared reappeared by text asking if we were meeting in Jan.

Thats it.

I love flavoured cider, cider in general is fab too. I also really like prosecco. NYE is looming. I will be indoors celebrating my inner karma. Who is doing something?

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 14:34

I'm really looking forward to NYE! I always host (mainly because I CBA to go out/get back after midnight) and have enormous amounts of food and bubbly and DS1 (fabulously geeky knowledgeable) is putting together a quiz which went down really well last year. Only a small gathering of 3 couples, 2 singles and assorted kids (who will have a games room set up) but I can't wait!

48howdidthathappen · 27/12/2012 14:34

smooth A dead arm Shock He would of lost the use of his tackle for that, arsehole!

It so fucking was him.

48howdidthathappen · 27/12/2012 14:39

scatty So giving Fireman another go Smile

I will be on my lonesome. CBA with NE shyte.

BantaBaby · 27/12/2012 14:40

Smooth - how old was this bloke to be giving his mates dead arms in the pub, sounds about 17 to me

FlorentinePogen · 27/12/2012 14:41

I will be on my lonesome.

What's happened to Mr. Rutting & Rogering ? Confused

48howdidthathappen · 27/12/2012 14:44

Flo In fucking Yorkshire until new year. Will make it up to me I am sure Smile

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 14:45

48 I have had many daydream scenarios since which involve some kind of ABH with varying degrees of violence.

On the plus side though, I am hoping that no date will ever be as bad.

And don't even get me started on the fact that he tried to remove a condom half way through DTD 'because I've had the snip'. Yes ladies and gentlemen - a delightful chap. I feel like taking a swig of neat vodka even thinking about it but can't, because I'm at work. Which is probably just as well.

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 14:47

Bant 41 going on 17.

Right, that's enough reminiscing for one day. More NYE plans please!

Is anyone doing the forced jollity in a pub at NY? Perhaps a midnight conga?

lubeybooby · 27/12/2012 14:50

Oh smoothie you poor thing, that actually sounds a bit frightening, are you ok?

I'm sure no other date will be as bad too (thank god!)

MsArsebiscuit · 27/12/2012 14:56

Smooth, blimey, what was he, King of All the Wankers ?

My NYE will be spent, thrillingly, at my parents', I expect to be weeping under the duvet at midnight.

In other news, I've been proposed to by a man on GS, I fear he would describe himself as 'fun' and 'whacky' .

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 14:59

Honest Lubey I'm completely fine - and lessons firmly learned and all that. I'm now putting my fingers in my ears and going 'la la la' so I don't have to think about it any more Xmas Grin

I have decided that when I finish work, I'm going home to pour myself a large glass of Malbec or Merlot. No point in being abstemious now until next year!

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 15:00

That's great news MsArse - congratulations! (on the proposal not the weeping under the duvet)

BantaBaby · 27/12/2012 15:02

I have no plans for NYE. All my mates are marrieds or out of the country, have the dreaded choice between inviting me or my ex, or just aren't going out. Meh. Still time to find something though I guess as the dc are with their mum.

Smoothie. We should introduce MrDeadArm to the artist.

lubeybooby · 27/12/2012 15:03

I'll join you with the Malbec, smoothie!
