Not a bad idea
But we got a misdelivered letter the other day, and all it told us was that his first name begins with J

Just call him J-dawg.

That's not unreasonable
Norwich is da ghetto, after all

i get my neighbours' post sometimes
the flat underneath me, which is still in its original grand format of 5 beds plus servant suite rather than being chopped in pikey halves like mine, is owned by an italian count and countess. i am always sooooo tempted to open it!

ha, i'm not!
fur coat, no knickers, me.

they might be posh, but i barely know them. i've been invited in for drinks once and that's it. i was very excited by the prospect of their son and heir, but he's only 17...

Age should be no boundary when it comes to the infinite mysteries of true love

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:23, Reply)

you mean sex
typical man
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:29, Reply)

Actually I meant golddigging
THIS close to putting "typical woman", but I absolutely wouldn't mean it and I want you to not hate me. Any more than five minutes ago.

it's lunchtime
i'm too preoccupied with what to eat to hate anybody, given that i am going for a delicious jalapeno risotto OR falafel burger with skin-on fries this evening...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:40, Reply)

Jalapeno risotto?!
Why that sounds magnificent. Not something I could ever cook for Ms Foxtrot but she's out this evening. I might go looking for a recipe. Thank you for the inspiration

Haha, 17 is a ripe age
for turning up in an actual fur coat and no knickers and rocking his world to such a degree that he's smitten.

Meh
the age difference can't be much greater than some of the couples on here. And you'd hope someone that privileged would be quite mature...either way I personally prefer older men as well, so *shrugs*
(berk, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:33, Reply)

I'd probably go out with a 20 year old
but definitely no younger.

Hang about
Your flat was originally 5 bedrooms and a servant suite and the rooms have been chopped in half? How many rooms do two hot girls need?

Please tell me one is the "pillow-fight" room
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:22, Reply)

sorry but no!
we have 2 double bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen with dining area, hallway and bathroom. it's not that flash but the rooms are nice and big, those victorians knew what they were doing!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:28, Reply)

Speaking of which
The sister-in-law needs a costume fora fancy dress party, themed as "Victorian Literature". It's a gay man's party, surprisingly. She was most distraught when I pointed out that Queen Victoria died in 1901, 3 years before J.M. Barrie got around to writing Peter Pan.

Any suggestions? Other than Alice in Wonderland?

dickens - easy and fun
get an old wedding dress from ebay and cut it up/mess it up.

miss haversham!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:35, Reply)

I did suggest Miss Haversham but, get this,
apparently it's important to stay in character, and she doesn't want to sit in a chair being haughty all evening. Fucks sake. I then suggested she go as Estella because building up boys' hopes only to crush them shouldn't be too much of a stretch. I was VERY popular.

Something from Dracula?
or possibly HG Wells but that's pushing it a touch.

Mina Murray might be a good shout actually
She could dot he period dress relatively easily and paint a couple of teethmarks on her neck. Cheers honey

Or you could go as a pirate
Treasure Island was that era I believe.
(berk, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:39, Reply)

It was indeed
Not many female characters in Treasure Island though
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:40, Reply)

Why does she have to go as a female character?

(berk, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:42, Reply)

You haven't met her
As one of Ms Foxtrot's brood she's a Giant Woman and likes to dress as girly as possible so as not to intimidate men, apparently. She does the intimidating once they've plucked up the courage to speak to her

My flat WAS the servants' quarters (and schoolroom) when this was a house.
I know my place.

those are always the best bits
quirky ceilings and windows etc. i always liked the attic flats best when i was a letting agent.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 12:28, Reply)

I do adore it
It's huge with amazing views and like you say, lots of quirks and features. And it's been home for almost ten years. It's getting a bit 'tired' though. And I want a poyr shoyr.
