Blimey Lubey what on earth does that mean?! I am not familiar with the Scots vernacular Grin reminded of date with Glaswegian (who turned out to be married - tosser) where I kept having to ask him to repeat himself

The whole FB thing is because I've never been able to do it. Purely in FB terms, nothing would give me greater pleasure. Mainly so it would be one in the eye for all the people who think they're a million times better than me because they can get a partner (and do the whole I'm in a relationship doo-dah) and I can't.

ike1 · 07/03/2013 20:10

I reckon it means something like 'Crikey...help me Lubey's gonna eat me alive!'

Stepissue · 07/03/2013 20:10

Bloody hell Bill !!!! You're just my type Grin I had nooooo idea you looked like that!

Under namechange but usual lurker on here, sometime contributor. And now stalker of Bill Grin

VelvetSpoon · 07/03/2013 20:10

Ike Grin

Urban dictionary says:

^"Help ma' Boab

Scottish term really only ever heard spoken by characters within the pages of Oor Wullie. Can translate to mean roughly "Goodness gracious me!"
Help ma' Boab a jist aboot fucked ma heid aff ae the lamp post!"^

As a Scot I would say that you would only say that as a wee joke Lubey, it's just for fun he probably will speak mainly in English...

lubeybooby · 07/03/2013 20:26

Chuch I got the meaning of it straight away don't worry :o I speak Scotlandish. Having worked in a call centre years ago I had to get good at understand all possible accents and dialects.

I am laughing a lot at this exchange:

Him: Phew. I'm sure there's a few more hurdles yet. To paraphrase kylie. I should be so lucky.
I'll bet knowing my luck there'll be some big muscly swarthy hunk called Giuseppe who sweeps you off your feet with a rose stuck in his teeth.
And there I'll be with my white knees chattering in the wind. Sporran flying.
Auditions can be so cruel.
When I fail. Break it to me gently
A xx

Me: There is something adorable about that mental image, Poor A and his white knees! I must rescue him...

Him: You must. You must.
If it helps in my audition I can change my profile photo back to a photo of my knees. Nothing else don't worry. I had to remove it because I was getting way too many emails.

Mainly from butchers with queries as to if I was a chicken farmer.

Do you often come up to boney Scotland? That's not a spelling mistake either

He does sound a laugh and I do actually know a Guiseppe in Glasgow if he fails his audition - he's a wee tiny guy though...

Snapespeare · 07/03/2013 20:52

WARNING!!!! kids dad, lives in Glasgow, is thinking of breaking up with his current gf as she is [quote] mental [/quote] Hmm he has another lady lined up. His name starts with an 'A'

As I would not wish him on my worst enemy, let alone a thread sister, please tell me he isn't mid-forties and has a name that sounds remotely similar to anus.

ike1 · 07/03/2013 20:56

I cant think of a name that begins with A and sounds like anus.....except Anus.

lubeybooby · 07/03/2013 20:59

No it's not him Snape! I can be pretty confident anyway, I think! ...This one is late thirties with a name that sounds like gallon. Short dark brown hair. 6ft 1. Funny, cute.

OP posts:
ike1 · 07/03/2013 21:13

Yeah he sounds a character Lubes...wow ....a man who can write more than 2 sentences as well!

Snapespeare · 07/03/2013 21:17

An(g)us is as anus does. :-)

Ten gallon. Wink

Date seven tomorrow. We're looking forwards to holding hands, curling up and watching a movie [vom] I'll stop post date updating I think.... It must seem pretty pedestrian (but very lovely!) I'm losing the nervy angst, But i still just can't actually wait to see him, thinking about it makes me jmo up and down on the spot and clap my hands.

Insouciant, right?

ike1 · 07/03/2013 21:20

Aha ok Snape...noted!! Aww its all very sweet......

KinNora · 07/03/2013 21:21

I reckon, Snape, that insouciant is no longer appropriate.

KirstyWirsty · 07/03/2013 21:37

Hmm .. I'm heading to the airport at 3am .. Mr Cheeky was supposed to be coming round to entertain me from 9 till 3 and then run me to the airport.. He texted me at 8:30 to tell me he'd been drinking all day .. I should have listened to everyone .. He is a loser and I am done

New York here comes KirstyWirsty and LovingFreedom .. Watch out!!! Grin

KirstyWirsty · 07/03/2013 21:39

And leave some Glaswegians for me lubey I live here!! Wink

JulietteMontague · 07/03/2013 21:41

NY has no idea what is about to be unleashed. Have a wonderful time, and I think a revenge fuck bit of local sight seeing might be in order Grin.

VelvetSpoon · 07/03/2013 21:45

Snape, have a lovely time tomorrow :)

Kirsty, I think sadly Mr Cheeky is never going to change (which is a shame), and you can do without someone like that dragging you down. Have fun in NY!

C finally text me , said sorry for being so slow, and can we arrange something for next week :) He is useless, but he does apologise a lot which I rather like (given that my Ex would rather cut off all his limbs than ever say sorry for anything)

So alls well, sort of, but clearly any change of relationship status for me is, at this snails pace, a long way off!!

Scrazy · 07/03/2013 21:49

As long as you are OK with it Velvet.

Kirsty, what a let down, the loser. Have a great time in NY, report back.

Snape, it all sound fab.

VelvetSpoon · 07/03/2013 21:50

just have to add 2 more little whinges things:

  1. I don't have a desk of my own at work so have to hotdesk. Was sitting at a girl's desk today who got married last summer and had 7 (yes, SEVEN) photos of her wedding (her and her DH, various poses, looking v young, beautiful and happy) on her desk.

I felt like a wizened spinster.

  1. The bloke I know from school keeps sending me messages. And worse still, commenting on my FB status. I started hiding them from him, but forgot again tonight, and lo, up he pops.

Sigh.

MirandaWest · 07/03/2013 21:56

7 wedding photos on her desk is silly. I don't think I ever had that many wedding photos in total (there were obviously some in wedding album)

I've done the mystery shopping reports. Nearly fell asleep while DS was reading to me - was nice and peaceful :) Going to have a bath and drink some fizzy wine type stuff in a can (was another mystery shopped item Grin)

KinNora · 07/03/2013 22:04

Oh Velvet, Mrs Hotdesk is just trying too hard, no-one needs 7 photos of their wedding day on display anywhere.

Kirsty, have a fabulous time in New York - Mr Cheeky is a knobber.

Lubey, I think it's your duty to go out and have an exceptionally good time.

In what passes for excitement in Nora World, Mr Showbiz continues to be urbane, witty, courteous, have nice twinkly eyes if I ignore the beard and quote Othello to me, this could possibly be the first incidence ever of me finding a beardy man attractive. Weird Coincidence Man and I have been text flirting and Mr Software grows ever closer to getting his leg over.

lubeybooby · 07/03/2013 22:18

Kin, I fully accept my duty.

I'm still undecided between the two possible best ones. Ah well I'll sleep on it I think.
