Good evening dark roomers ...yes all tributed out, been aladdin saned and thin white duked! Still got a bit of chafin' but not too bad....I impressed on the dance floor (not too hard since the competition was dad dancing ).

Fleecegate rumbled on I see...also glad to see some decent cocktails on the go...and not too bad a job with the tidying...

Erm. Well I got Internet sorted out today, so I'm not just in my phone from airport hotspots as previously.

I was forced into reading the haggis poem for a work-affiliated Burns night as the host was too pissed to do it, and I'm 1/4 Scottish, which as far as the locals are concerned makes me Braveheart.

And the locals were interesting. Men very possessive of their girlfriends, much more so than Brits. When I turned to one woman in a circle of us and said 'and what do you do?' the bloke next to her said 'she's my girlfriend'. At which point she said 'yes, darling, also I'm the lead project manager on this guys product so go get me a fucking drink' which I thought was fun. Got chatting to some student who was really quite nice but too young for me.

Then got home and found I've been stirring up shit even while away apparently. Sorry again.

Its all done and dusted now Bant anyway....stuff gets deleted on MN all the time ...lets move on now, this thread has been derailed enough..

Alittlestranger · 26/01/2013 01:31

Mumsnet deleting stuff isn't any kind of endorsement of a particular poster's grievance, they just opt for the quiet life. I hope this doesn't have to split into two threads, it would be terribly confusing for the lurkers.

ike1 · 26/01/2013 01:35

Nah Alittle some peeps will cool their heels for a bit elsewhere and soon be back on fighting form to this thread.

48howdidthathappen · 26/01/2013 07:07

Aww pink Thats great Smile

Sounds like you had a good time out there in the real world Ike Dancing is good for the old mojo.

MirandaWest · 26/01/2013 07:23

lubeybooby · 26/01/2013 08:40

Mornin all!

Morning all!

This morning I was asked what sort of drugs I do Hmm

So I looked at my profile and there it is. I've been telling the world that I do drugs socially. Totally by accident of course, I don't even smoke! Juliette mentioned something about drugs to me after looking at my profile but I didn't get what she was saying.

Mortified doesn't even cover it!! Blush

lubeybooby · 26/01/2013 09:01

PP oh god I noticed that but decided it was none of my business to pry in case it wasn't an accident then I'd have looked all judgey.

Maybe that was getting you filtered out of peoples matches?

48howdidthathappen · 26/01/2013 09:08

Oh dear PP Probably explains alot.

JulietteMontague · 26/01/2013 09:14

Pink this is what I was saying. You have yes to drugs, that is one of the criteria by which people can filter you out. You won't even show up on their matches.

I'm up at dawn to meet Mr Morning. He'd better be good. And there or I'll hunt him down and shown him what happens when he messes with Morning Juliette without coffee.

Alittlestranger · 26/01/2013 09:29

What site is the drugs question on? It's a tricky one. I will use drugs socially if offered but I wouldn't feel comfortable putting that in my profile. Is that acceptable, when lying about smoking is not? I did have one date recently where my date was being very open about his drug use. I didn't really notice until afterwards and then it felt like he'd been trying to guage my reaction. (I didn't comment on it).

Scattylatte · 26/01/2013 09:30

Morning all

It's easy to make that kind of mistake pink I've made all sorts of administrative errors.

Not much dating news here. A few lovelies from POF have messaged for a 'meet'. When I've asked what do they mean (like I don't know) they have said 'for fun'. Yawn.

A few dates ago I suggested to the f/man a trip to the cinema and suggested a film (bit art house). He wasn't keen on the film...at all. So we went for dinner instead. A couple of times he had said 'that film wouldn't be my kind of thing'.
Anyway yesterday I was going to finish it by text, very busy with work, feeling yuck generally, feeling that although I don't know this man, I do the organising.
Then I get a text from him....'I thought if you are free next Friday we could go and see (art film), I buy you a hot dog. Let me know and I'll get the tickets'
So, I've said yes that would be great. He then wrote 'go slow with me, seeing a film like this is a big step!' Thing is, I don't think he's joking.

I am aware that was a very long paragraph to say very little.

Scattylatte · 26/01/2013 09:31

juliette have a great date. Who is mr Morning?

PinkPeanuts · 26/01/2013 10:00

Lol! Bless you Lubey and sorry for being so thick Juliette! Hope Mr Morning is worth the early rise!

Alittlestranger you could always just put "prefer not to say" then you're not lying at all?

Yogagirl17 · 26/01/2013 10:07

A little light reading for all you daters:

RED FLAGS

Alittlestranger · 26/01/2013 10:12

Agree with her on point 1, although the mean part of me does enjoy reading profiles of people who are clearly not over their ex. They can paint such a vivid picture in the "what I am looking for" section.

I quite like a secret spiller though...

WarmFuzzyFun · 26/01/2013 10:16

Morning all.

I could have written that article Yoga.

Hope you're all okay, I'm okay.

Best wishes WarmFuzzyFun x
