"The first episode features Richard, an amateur radio enthusiast, who has Asperger's. Richard will only date a woman who lives within a five-mile radius and won't eat on a date."

he's going to make some special lady VERY happy

Is that "he will not eat on a date" or "he will only date a woman who will not eat on a date"?

( Noit happy baby orangutan, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 9:32, archived)

effectively the same thing, surely?

( manolith hooray for me, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 9:33, archived)

Wildly different.
If he won't eat then he's effectively taking a woman out to watch her eat, which is creepy. If she can't eat then he's taking her out to eat in front of her while she does not eat, which is a bit controlling and outright scary.
( Noit happy baby orangutan, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 9:35, archived)

i just assumed that the date was to contain no eating

Hey,
I find distance very important in romance.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Thu 22 Mar 2012, 9:35, archived)

I wonder if five miles is the working radius of his amateur radio.

( Noit happy baby orangutan, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 9:36, archived)

I'm not sure I could watch that.

I wouldn't ask you too,
I know how angry you get at freakish monsters.

It'll make me do a sad I think :'(
I don't like to watch that many programmes about disbaled folks.

The disabled people are fine
It's the manipulation and discrimination that's thinly veiled as 'empowerment' that I don't like.
See also, anything with gypsies in it.

For this reason + I'm not overly keen on thinking about the future too much.
My son will be a good looking chap when he's older but statistics say he'll probably be single.

You're entitled to feel however you want about it
I can't sympathise and I'm not going to pretend I can, but...y'know...*ruffles hair and buys ice cream*

oh boy! thanks TH.
I went into the fridge and found a surprise!
Half a french loaf filled with: boiled egg, pork tenderloin, chicken, peppered steak slices, about 10 slices of cheese and coleslaw.

It's wrapped up on a plate with a napkin that says "MMPS vs FOOD!" on it.

Oh boy!!!

I'm hoping one of those 2 L plates from yesterday turns out to be a proper cunt,
just so i can go back to being the loveable rogue I truly am.

Oh god, that's reminded me, I heard a guy at this party last night describe himself to a girl as "loveably arrogant" and "truly handsome in the classical sense"

I love pricks like that. I like it even more when they're not friends of mine.

Aw man I should star on that
'Theoban is a lardy sweat devil who likes computer games, t-shirts with webcomic slogans on them and shouting at inanimate objects. He refuses to talk to 'cretins' and thinks that people are 'just awful'. Let's see how he gets on meeting Jezebel, an unemployed 'playwright' who believes in ghosts and that the Earth Mother watches over us all'

Theoban is single after he broke up with his last girlfriend.
She was sick of his temper tantrums after not getting "the good toys" from a kinder surprise.
Theoban has previously been remanded in custody after writing threatening letters to Ferrero, demanding they stop placing "girls toys" in their confection or face the wrath of "his legion of space marines!!!!"

Baldmonkey's date was going quite well
Up until the point he brought the main course, which was an orchestra made of scrambled eggs. He then urinated over the dish while chanting 'BONGOBONGOBONGO' at the top of his lungs.
He hopes it went well and is looking forward to seeing her again.

Lisa seems to be holding up rather well on her date with MONO!
two hours in and he's brought out the photos of his lego cabinet.

The date had gone well.
"I had a really nice time, Megan" Two Hats told her as he walked her to her door.
"Me too. Thank you..." she paused, trying to remember his name.
Two Hats began to well up.

It seems Hilary has had enough and stormed out.
The tipping point appears to have been when Edd produced a flick book he had made that can only be described as shocking in both the brutality and intesnity of its sexual content.
Next week: Noit's date has the food slapped out of her hand and is forced to listen to a half hour lecture on why she was holding her fork wrong.

After making her excuses, Destiny leaves MMPS on his own to finish his bigmac value meal.
The eveing started badly when he tried to pull the chair out for her and quickly degenerated into farce when, in a typically glasweigan way, he poured alcohol into his drink. "Ah pure luv a buckieshake, hawhawhawhaw!" he then asked "Do you suck it all doon hen?" and pointed to his crotch.
