Hey I have that one in my car collection too . . . Another one I've kind of forgotten about and which will be on first thing tomorrow!

It's so easy to think you have got to know someone from messaging - and don't get me wrong, you can do to some extent - but as far as I've been able to work out so far, there's no way of telling if the chemistry is there apart from meeting them, sometimes more than once as this can be a bit of a grower on occasion! It will be good fun though, hope you enjoy it.

oh don't start going on about loving the Femmes. I've never met anyone ever who likes the Femmes. They rock.

Good feeeeliiing.. won't you staaaaay with meee.. Just a little longer..

I think the one with Blister in the Sun is called '3'? Or possibly blind leading the naked.

(I think we may be working out the playlist for the summer Thread party)

OhWesternWind · 01/05/2013 22:07

Oh oh and the Just One Kiss one and Please Please Do Not Go, all of them really (don't really know any of the names of them as I never look at the sleeve, just listen to the music) - don't get me started, I will be singing all night now. It's only me and my friend from Uni that I've ever met that like this lot!

Bant · 01/05/2013 22:19

Personally I quite like 'I hope you got fat'. It sounds horrible but it's actually really quite sweet

Bant · 01/05/2013 22:23

So the other day I caved. I'd been winked at by yet another anonymous local on Match, and while I found a trick allowing me to see who had winked at me, I couldn't work out when, or see if they were also the ones mailing me.

So - I got an email with a special offer, only 10 quid a month to join. Bargain.

So I joined (having had several glasses of wine at this point) and sent two replies to the only two attractive women who'd mailed me. One of them logged in but I don't know if she read it. The other one I'm chatting to, but she doesn't seem to be particularly funny. Hungarians aren't known for their ready wit and joie de vivre.

No replies from the other three I mailed. And the problem is, that's about a fifth of all the women in the city on Match. My 'women you might like' email always has the same faces, and half of them are in other cities 100 miles away.

waste of bloody money. I could have bought a car for that, over here.

It always seems, always seems like your leeeeeaving, when I know the other o-one, just a little too well..

Ah fuck it Bant, lets just get married ;)

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 01/05/2013 22:27

All together now, 'Why can't I get just one fuck, I guess it's got something to do with luck, but I waited my whole life for just one.......'

Bant · 01/05/2013 22:28

Is that what you call 'wooing', Hey? Where are my flowers and chocolates?

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 01/05/2013 22:29

me too OWW! develops girl crush

Bant · 01/05/2013 22:29

Anyone who hasn't heard of the Violent Femmes is going to be very confused.

Ooooh oooh Dead Kennedys. I'm in an early 90s indie-alt-rock groove now.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 01/05/2013 22:32

I take one, one, one coz you left me, and two two two for my family...

Ahem, I may be getting slightly overexcited about finding fellow Femmes lovers. Support thread required? I've ground your flowers and chocolates into pieces Bant, whilst wallowing in my teen misery, alright!!! God, why does nobody understand! ;)

For the sake of thread unity, I'm prepared to pretend that I'd be in a mosh pit Hey, in reality I'd have to be in the VIP area, being handed a champagne cocktail. Grin

KinNora · 01/05/2013 23:00

I'd wave at you, like.
