The missus and I met on a messageboard......
..she is great and normal though and we've been together for 3 years on wednesday. So that's ok. We tell people we go together due to liking the same band though to save the embarassing 'met on the internet' conversations.

We had a mate on the same boards who we decided to take a trip down to London to meet up with.
I'm 6 years younger than the missus and she was always a bit funny about my age before we met (me being 23 at the time) but she realised I was a mature enough young man and things were fine after meeting in person. The mate from the boards was 21 so we didn't think it'd be to bad. With me only being two years older than him and him coming across as a well grounded and sound fella on the boards.

We knew nothing about London, having only been there on piss ups of the rugby variety before so we let him choose the location since he was London born and bred. We met at Liverpool street station and had a drink in the bar there. Everything seemed ok and we were chatting about mutual interests, until we decided to move on to another pub. And it became shockingly aparent that he had never been into London town centre in his life. We spent ages wondering around loads of dodgy backstreets trying to find a pub. We ended up in a bit of a dodgy pub that was full of massive, non to racially intergrated, blokes, and they were obviously non to happy about a couple of white lads and a girl being in their bar. But by that point I didn't care. It was then that we realised that this lad also had the personality of a 13 year old. Which made conversation very, very difficult.
After leaving this pub we got talking to a couple of blokes from outside london that didn't have a clue where they were going either so we hooked up with them and found a decent enough late bar and had a right laugh with them.

To top it all off. It was the hottest day on record for years aswell. And we were stopping in a god awful hotel with a load of Germans around us. I was not best pleased with the wasted time, money and sweat the day after.

Have met a couple of people from the same boards since though and they've turned into good friends. So not everyone out there is wierd. Atleast I like to think I'm not...... :)
