The Dating Thread - episode 60

[Djangounhinged]

If I may?

Rae I know - I googled the said devices very, very carefully, apparently one can buy them on Amazon. Eeeh nowt so queer as folk.

Flipper did you say how work was going ? ( I may just have missed it )

Oh-oh, LM's texting again ... and two e-mails from Alpha all in the space of five minutes. Must be emitting some peculiar message-me vibe.

Bollocks.

I know, I won't. At least, I'll try very hard not to.

Ooh, sorry, Nora, no, I didn't. Thanks for asking, though. Apologies to others for off topic post:

Technically, I start my new role tomorrow, though it's really been since Monday. This bit isn't a problem. I haven't the foggiest idea what I'm meant to be doing, but that's ok, because no one expects me to! Working with one particular colleague will obviously be interesting, but I haven't seen her this week, yet.

However, our fluoro machine has died, and the future of the clinic here is therefore in jeopardy, as they won't replace it. Supposedly, the one they replaced earlier this year was going to be adequate, but having tried it once, we're not so sure. This is going to be a bit of an issue for us, I think. Well, I'm trying not to think about it, to be honest.

Welsh student befriended me on FB. This is odd, but hey...

Place marking, nothing to report.

OWW, put down the 'phone. Step away from the 'phone...

Hi, all, much enjoyment in reading the latest antics/woes on the thread.
Bant Mermaid does sound like the ticket and, no, I am not at all influenced by our shared origins, singin California girls
Although Meet Up guy & I are very much still on, I was taken aback by something he said last night, and am now in a reflective mood. Maybe a bit reminiscent of what JM went through awhile ago with Dutchie, which seems to have resolved in her case.
Watch this space...

OWW don't let him upset you, only yesterday ( I think ) you were saying how positive you were feeling about Alpha, LM has the ability to erode all that promise with his self-centred tosh. You're a lovely person, he's trying to take advantage of that.

(Excuse me, everyone) Flipper now why am I not surprised that no-one's specified your role ? fricking nhs is the same all over.

They certainly use the fluoroscopy equipment less than they used to but there's no real equivalent in another modality to doing a Ba swallow so I'd say most places still need that capacity, it's rather shortsighted (another hearty laugh) not to replace the equipment. The current interest is in sexy interventional stuff where radiologists can ponce around like surgeons so I think funds are being diverted along those lines in many places.
Is Welsh student one of ours ? Does he fancy you - it might be love across the divide.

OWW delete the LM text, and reply to Alpha instead....

Thanks for the woo, Flipper, it arrived at the same time as a message from the postie but that may have been a coincidence...

Wine oh yes he was from Glasgow alright, which works for me, and he was bonny too, which is why I messaged him. Just a shame about his morals, tsk

This evening, I have mostly been messaging the Mermaid. It does put Aruba into perspective again.

Place marking

Mr R&R has zero reception. I am missing the texting. I know I'm going soft Its quite nice.

He drove up to higher ground and called.

I am getting plenty of much needed sleep

...as I've had a roast pork sarnie for lunch and a Star Bar and a bottle of wine for tea.

Cannae beat a boatil ay Buckie fer yer tea.........

Bant :)

48 :)

Flo

Blimey, I popped over to namelesses for an Impromptu Wednesday (we generally do Mondays & Fridays, I suggested an extra....it's national orgasm day, I felt I should contribute....) and we were doing the post-coital-eye-thing, when you just look at someone....he said, 'we should try and Decode this eye-morse-code thing... It's been going on for a while... Which gives me an ideal let-in to decode it via the medium of pizza!

In other news, I did an online situational judgement test to allow me to apply for promotion t work. It takes 45 minutes...I needed to score better than 35% of people taking the test. It took me 25 minutes. I scored better than 79% of applicants. I'm not used to being appreciated at work and consider myself to be a bit bolshie, so it's been a day of validation.

Hello new folk! I love this thread for having the old stalwarts (hello velvet if you're passing by, I hope things are good with you!) and a steady flow of lovely new people...I wave my dating wand in your direction (I'm aware my wand is unsolicited, but hope we can still be friends)

A bit late to this due to cat-feeding (sisters) and profile reviewing duties, but Nora that key story is the best - this place is (far) superior to telly.
snapespeare thanks fro wand-wave greatly appreciated.

Oh bant just ditch Aruba already... You're not there, you're in mermaid territory. You would be settling with Aruba, so don't waste your time.... don't waste her time! You will think about mermaid during intimate moments with Aruba. I think another date with Aruba is a confirmation-of-what-you-know date... There's no need for that.

Bant Mermaid sounds nice, straightforward, and from what you've written you like her loads...I think Aruba is sadly a pleasant girl, but Mermaid has kinda blown her out of the water.

OWW LM had his chance...

Hey newbies

I need a big dollop of woo, and lots of encouragement!

I am doing some decorating

Anyways German replied...interested but I live too far. At least he was polite.Sigh...

In other news I've had a message from tentative bloke in the States.

WFF nods and waves to all, I am going to disappear as I want to crack on with the sanding etc

But will be reading along and posting my usual brand of when time allows.

Wine(o), I was handed a hip flask during a round of golf last year and didn't realise that the flowery, sweet sickly content was Buckie.

Josh Homme ? Pffffftttttt.

Try Grace Slick circa. 1969.

Snape forgot to add that I'm definitely for the Love Pizza. It's pizza so it makes it edgy enough somehow no idea what I'm talking about I just want to see a photo of the Love Pizza

Wine, I wouldn't say Buckie is vile, just that I wouldn't include it as part of my calorie controlled diet.

Re. your comments on goingto QOTSA concert. My DD has secured 2 tix for The Arctic Monkeys in November at yon new extension to the SECC. I am trying to stay in her good books !!

OWW ignore, ignore. He had his chance and is probably feeling sorry for himself. You are not.

Mama I agree with the others. I also think in general it's not great to be reliant on someone for a bed or even a lift on the second date. I know others have had very good and prolonged bunk-ups from the off, but it doesn't sit right with me. But maybe I'm biased as I tend to bail after second dates.
