Not spannered.
I know I've had a drink though, I've got a can of Natch on the go now - and several more in the fridge, should I fancy drinking them.

The pub was weird this evening.

was there a dwarf sitting on the bar talking backwards?

No, the pub was full of 'youth' who were all drinking soft-drinks.
Chatting to one of the youngsters, they were all on their way to Weston-Super-Mare in their jazzed up cars for some Friday night drive. Apparently they always meet in 'strange' pubs to avoid problems from 'the Feds' (his words).

These modified cars make a lot of noise.

'the Feds' hahaha what a nob

That isn't strictly true Sickboy.
The pub has a carpark and isn't the sort of pub used by 'youth'!

But the lad in question did reference 'the Feds' (his mate was saying something about 'da Babylon' - they were all white lads, all about 20 years old and none of them had girls with them).

I shared a house with some guys who did this kind of thing with cars
putting insane body kits on Mondeos and such like. The kind of stuff you'd see in Max Power magazine. I think they mostly did it to get girls and it was astonishingly successful.

Maybe they were having a 'lads night out'
But they all had acne and reeked of cheap aftershave, so I'm guessing that they'd met the limit of their nights ambition, bar doing hand-brake turns in a large car-park somewhere.

How did you get on e-mailing the fella from the dating site?

I just got a message from him as it happens
I dunno, though,I suspect he's not that interested and it's not going to go anywhere
(, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 23:31, Reply)
Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that.
What are his hobbies and interests?
(, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 23:33, Reply)
he's a science nerd
who likes some similar music to me and is a gamer (but it's GW crap)

Perhaps I should start messaging some other guys, too. You know, one of them's got to be blind/desperate/bored enough to be interested
(, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 23:36, Reply)
What is 'GW crap?'
Maybe, rather than going after a type, you should just be yourself and see who writes to you, rather than you writing to them?

GW = games workshop
I tend to only get messages from guys in north africa. Or people I don't really want to talk to (usually they seem dull in their profile, or I'm shallow and they're not cute)

Think of the tracksuits he'd be able to provide you with.
'Ee is da fashion master!

he's got a stupendous wardrobe and a nifty golf cart
that's bringing a lot to the table in any relationship.

I've never stepped foot in a Games Workshop.
Would North Africa be that bad? Think of the holiday and camel owning potential.

I think you should be less picky (about the people), as some people can't write. Look at me, I'm actually more dull in real life than I am here.

Be resonable Crunchy.
Yes, there are lots of words that could be used, but IF and it's only an if, they are concerned that the person they are writing to are a bit 'simple', they might feel the need to explain what they're saying, rather than hoping you can read between the lines.

are you calling me thick?
lol

No, you know what I mean, the chances are, in real life, you'd know they were joking (if indeed what they're saying is funny).

I just think you should give them a break in the initial exchanges, just so you can identify when and where they're joking, so you can establish common ground.

Or is that unresonable?
(, Fri 4 Mar 2011, 23:55, Reply)
nah, it's the one's who use it all the time that are a problem
to be fair, it's not like there are many, I'm not exactly fending them off with a shitty stick

Lose the Sci-fi stuff!
And my 'experience' of drinking with teachers.... Most of them try and talk to their mates like the talk to their students.
