So, if I was looking for a man (Mr Darcey), where might I find one (Mr Darcey), where should I start (Mr Darcey)?

[scrooged]

scrooged, just picked up on your last post - did you used to be avenanap then? I LOVED that name, it was on my favourite list and I think I even put it in the comp for best MN name!

I recon there must be loads of people on here who have sexy, intelligent, single male friends. I think they need to share! It's better to find someone that is known by someone you know incase they are a nutter.

Shall we start up a mn dating agency, we'll get the pick of the blokes that way!

Aww. Thanks thumbwitch. scrooged is my christmas name, phantom of the chocolate cake is my halloween name. That's really nice of you.

aha! I loved the hallowe'en name too - you visited the Twilight Zone with that one! you are defo on my list of "good mners to know" then.

lol thumb!

scrooged, that's a fantastic idea - MNDate!

Thanks. I will revert back to something after yule. I'm not sure what yet though.

Ok then Lewis. Hold on a minute...

Here's a pic scrooged - Captain Richard Waygood, Riding Master for the Household Cavalry

Mmmmmm.........

(Not sure if he's available though. Can research if he floats your boat.)

lol! Tempting. Hmm. He needs to like children.

Having googled, found this site (scroll down to list of BHS Assistant Instructors) so have been able to supply you with contact details. Maybe one of us could text him and ask!

( at the amount of personal information available on the internet btw.)

Didn't mn'rs start trying to pair off mn'rs with their brothers?

I reckon you should contact Captain Waygood scrooged. I've even drafted a letter.

Dear Captain Waygood,

My friend is searhcing for a dashing, well-mannered, and possibly uniformed, gentleman.

By chance we came across your picture on the internet and at first glance you appear to fit the bill.

The internet was also able kindly to furnish us with your contact details.

You are clearly very handsome. However, there are a few other crieria. We are therefore writing to ask if:

(a) you are single;
(b) you like children;
(c) you have brains.

If you score yes on all points please let us know.

Apart from your prowess in the saddle, any additional 'Mr Darcy' like tendencies would be a clear advantage.

Kind regards,
Mrs Sean Bean.

I put an ad in the paper. Cheesy I know but it's how I met dh!

you start in your imagination and stay there.

because Mr Darcey is made up.

he doesn't exist except in someone's imagination/fantasy land.

Take up golf. That's what DP's exW did when he left her and refused to go along with her request that he introduce her to his single friends . She got hitched again pretty damn quick, and to a man with lots of £££££££.

It's not Mr Darcy I want, honestly, it's the interesting qualities :listens, caring, supportive, will go out of his way for the woman he loves.

You are all lovely!

Are men like this looking for someone specific (hermes scarf, pearls and twinset)? I'm not a chav but not of this calibre either. I'm aiming a bit too high.

Golf. Hmmm. I could try that. My neighbour (female) used to go.

Thankyou for the letter MrsSeanBean.

Captain Waygood would like Hermes & pearls I bet scrooged. Plus muddy Hunters a tweedy field jacket or a Puffa. Jeans and a little cashmere cardy for more urban occasions and long swishy brown hair.

I have a good mind to email off to him as I am very bored but am worried he may report me or something

Between the covers of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen?

On the BBC DVD?

Otherwise, look under D in the telephone directory....

I can do the brown hair! I have diamonds, better than pearls. Maybe I need someone to take me under their wing for a complete transformation.

oh NO, scrooged, diamonds are FLASHY, not better than demure and classy pearls

I only have fake ones. Maybe I should pop them on my yule list for next time.

I'll have to start a new thread asking for help to turn me into a toff lady.

Did you start the other thread scrooged? Let me know if you do and will watch with interest!
