There was me minding my own business on the 185 tonight, when a pretty girl got on at Pimlico and sat almost opposite me


When the person sitting directly opposite me got off, she moved over. (I suspect to get the corner seat and lean on the window rather then anything else)


She knows who she is, (if she doesn't she was reading the third Millennium book - which you will enjoy)


The problem is I don't know who she is.


Maybe next time you get on and sit opposite one of us should say hello as I think you got off the bus in the SE22 area, but I got off just before you.


That is the problem with being a Cat in a Hot Tin Bus, curiosity will get the better of me.


Yours Mr Curious Cat.

Oh dash it all to blazes CIAHTB, if I may address you so informally.


Hang it! I intend to stand in front of the fireplace, haul up my slacks and talk to you like a Dutch uncle.

By Jingo, you'll lsten too, ya young rip.


Are you not familiar with the phrase 'Faint heart never won fair maid'? It was spoken by some brainy nib or other, whose name escapes me for the nonce.


You must haunt the 185 until you spot your enamourata, then find a way of getting the seat next to her (these are details, your initiative will pay dividends here).

As she is preparing to get leave the bus, take careful note of the page number of the book she is reading.

As she places the bookmark and closes the tome, quickly snatch it from its place, waggle it in front of her and say 'I know your page, what say we discuss this further over a cocktail'?

She may gasp at your boldness, but will at the same time be drawn by it.

De-bus, and offer her your arm, you may wish to place the bookmark behind your ear, but I leave that to you entirely.


To the nearest bar and the ordering of a brace of Gibsons should be the work of but moments.


From here on, COAHTB you are on your own, busk it.

Though phrases such as 'I yearn for you', 'I have a long felt want' and 'Crikey, when you tilt your head that way, you don't half look like Keren out of Bananarama' may do you some good.


Anyway, bon chance.

Dear Cat,

I must make amends for my first post she was not your soul mate, just an attractive young sort whom you took a shine to.

Someone once said never be afraid to ask for what you want,


the art is learning how to be tactful enough to do so.


The answer is praise something that she wears, or her choice of reading matter as she carried a book, "I haven't read that one but I did read an earlier work from that author", which you obviously have never heard of, then describe another book which you have read.


By this time you are up and running and say would you like a coffee, or would you prefer a cocktail, or maybe an orgasm.............best to hold the orgasm bit until a little later in the errm relationship.


She may look very fit and you might ask if she has gym membership as you must renew yours, or does she run in peckham rye or dulwich park early in the morning?


I cannot remember when I last met a woman who was against flirting,

because it is really exciting, and adds yards to your drive.


Women prefer bar studs to wimps, so be non-threatening but assertive.


Go to it and don't be a pussy, Cat.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
