Top quality resin with raisins in it??!!!

Singlesupplement · 19/03/2013 21:04

are not many people on here actively dating then?

lubeybooby · 19/03/2013 21:05

Quite a few of us are, singlesupplement but our talk goes off on the odd tangent.

Well y'know OWW ....poetic license there....trying to single...its all a bit slow but hopefully some potentials...

OhWesternWind · 19/03/2013 21:07

Yes there are a good few people on here dating, some looking for something serious, some not. Some of us are having a break for a while, others are seeing someone but still like to post. Bit of a mixed bag really, but there's a lovely supportive atmosphere on here with none of the smug judgemental stuff you find elsewhere.

I feel like I missed out, we never had anything like Angel Delight, Instant Whip or Dream Topping in the house when I was a child, what comes of having a chef for a father (one of my dad's 1001 many and varied career choices...!)

Singlesupplement · 19/03/2013 21:10

I dont think people are judgmental, they just dont know. Its not their fault.

And they are entitled to their opion as much as i am.

OhWesternWind · 19/03/2013 21:11

We were only allowed Angel Delight. Instant Whip was common.

ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:14

I will repeat the boring fact that I gave Dr Angel Delight...that was...my old Chemistry teacher's BROTHER 'created' Instant Whip. By christ, anything that has been 'created' in a lab out of chemicals has to be suspicious...surely.

lubeybooby · 19/03/2013 21:15

Singlesupplement no one has said you can't have an opinion? Correct me if I'm wrong here but you seem to talk like you just want to argue? Much like someone we used to know Hmm

I do see a lot of Judgmental nonsense about being single and some of the rest of us think it is too. And I'm entitled to my opinion too :)

Mind you a kinda remember some kind of powdered orange drink with added vit C that you could get free if you were 'entitled' to it....what was thet then, fact fans?

ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:17

I gotcha Lubes...

Singlesupplement · 19/03/2013 21:19

Im sorry, im not here to argue. I was just saying i dont have beef with people. I wouldnt like anyone who gave advice on that thread to read that i was annoyed or something with them. Thats all i was saying.

Im a bit confused.

If im not welcome, i shall leave you to it.

OhWesternWind · 19/03/2013 21:20

Oh I remember that. And that lemon mousse in a packet - remember eating bowlfuls of that during the 1984 Olympics. The two are forever linked in my mind. Could fancy some of that now if they still made it. Pure E numbers, probably another of Mr Whip's inventions.

ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:23

Ok SS we had someone on here a while ago, that was rather, shall we say, prone to inflaming situations...we are a laid back bunch and like to keep it that way.

lubeybooby · 19/03/2013 21:23

Anyone is welcome long as they aren't trolling us or purely spoiling for a fight so if you genuinely mean that then put your feet up and get comfy!

OP posts:
ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:24

Oh yes OWW out of the very same test tube I have no doubt!

Bant · 19/03/2013 21:25

Everyones entitled to an opinion, Single - it just gets annoying to see the old cliches trotted out again and again. We've all heard them.

Dating is a numbers game, especially Online dating. Some people get lucky the first time, others keep butting their head against the wall, meeting perfectly lovely people who then disappear cos they have ishoos, or are married, or still in love with an ex, whatever. All of us have been there. But there are some nice things too - OWW and Snape seem to be having a nice time of things (some of the time)

I've got my second date with 'Buffy' tomorrow night, this is a very-left wing American lecturer who wears big big glasses and a big beady spec-chain which was so obscuring I couldn't see past them - until she took her glasses off after a couple of beers and she was just lovely. And funny. And intelligent. And a Doctor Who fan, and keeps sending me obscure amusing websites to keep me entertained.

And she's leaving the country in a couple of months. Ah well.

Also, I have to break things off with MedStudent before things go too far on a third date. Feels like my body would be writing cheques my mind can't cash

(this is not to say there is any financial remuneration involved here)

ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:26

....and I suppose always suspected that person might make a return maybe in another guise...but if that is not you..by all means stay and have a natter.

ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:28

Bloody hell Bant ...forever the numbers guy...

48howdidthathappen · 19/03/2013 21:29

I am dating. I have depression Shock Grin

Singlesupplement · 19/03/2013 21:29

I'm sorry, I seem to have wondered into a twilight zone, I thought this was a dating thread?

I was told it was good, but all I have said is i dont have issue with people over differing option and I seem to have ruffled feathers.

Im a bit confused to be honest?

ike1 · 19/03/2013 21:31

Hang around SS you may become less confused...

KinNora · 19/03/2013 21:32

Single this thread is mostly shared humour at the bizarre aspects of OD, great mutual support and empathy in difficult times, excellent clear sighted advice from people who can offer objective words in moments of crisis and the occasional slap with a wet fish when required.

I've never had Instant Whip. Poor parenting skills Mr & Mrs Nora.
