I am jealous actually Morris


You sound like a good old fashioned romantic/slight weirdo


I wish you well


*cries into pillow*


"Why doesn't a weirdo want meeee..eee"


:-$:-S

Unless there's something seriously wrong with you it's hard to be creepy if you're under the age of 30-ish. If on the other hand you are 47 and she's 23 it's very different.


I had to remind myself that this week when I hired a 24 year old hot shot grad and we started talking about her about favourite bands. I stopped before getting too Ricky Gervais.


Mr Ben (36 years old and still down with the kids) *snaps fingers Ali G style*


Ahem.

So there is definitely nothing creepy about this situation as I'm under the 30 year threshold. The other good news is she was spotted at the weekend so things are looking up at the moment. I'm thinking this week might be the week something will happen, maybe.

A bit old-fashioned, I realise, but have you tried introducing yourself and saying welcome to the road? Apparently Bill Clinton takes a woman's hand when he's introduced to her and then keeps hold of it a bit too long. If she lets him, she's interested.


At least then you'll be able to greet her by name every time you see her.


Or arrange a party and do the courteous thing and warn all your close neighbours and say they're very welcome to join you. That way there's an opening if she's interested but you haven't committed yourself, AND all your neighbours think you've got nice manners and won't mind about the noise.

Oh yeah, I had one of those once. I wasted an awful lot of money in Selfridges lingerie department before he came out.


But where does the shag dodging come into it? Is Real Morris the shag dodger because he won't ask her out and prefers the thrill of the virtual chase? Or is New Neighbour the shag dodger because she hasn't jumped his bones yet?


I'm very confused.

It's confusing but I assume I'm the shag dodger. Good one Netts.


To be honest I don't think I qualify for this title as I haven't really been trying that hard yet, unless you consider posting on here as making a big effort? Probably you do.


I hope my neighbour isn't a shag dodger, this would complicate things.


I don't think groping or asking for a shag is going to work with this one, but thanks. Also, I don't want to tarnish my reputation around ED, which those actions could potentially damage.

Poor morris


Imagine when/if he does actually get-it-on


His mind will be a-whirr with images from this forum. Heads-in-jars-kittens-shagdodging-and-tit-gropes



The whole thing could become a self fulfilling prophecy by proxy & he'll run a mile.


A virtual Tarring and feathering


(mainly by *Bob* I have to say:-$)


Netts

Jeez Morris - just knock on the door and ask to buy her a drink.


You might not even like her. This peculiar 'courtly love' scenario you've created in your head is objectifying and dehumanising her. She's a real person, and probably has all manner of irritating habits and unpleasant hang ups.


She might be great - in which case I guarantee that she'll have little time for people who worship from afar and fret in their front room about the perfect first encounter.


Get a pair. Girls like that.

I would say do your research and play the long game. Have you ever met her at her step with a man at 8am? Best stop there if you have.


If not, you will bump in to her at your front door at some point - no need to engineer the situation. When you do strike up a chat about something in the house / foxes in the street at night / upcoming ED events - anything. See if there is any chemistry and read the signs. Does she look you in the eye often but then glance away when you catch her eye? Does she mirror your posture?


If all is looking good, ask her if she's been to the new pub which just opened (CPT?). Or ask her if she would like to check out an ED specific event - maybe the Barry Barry Run? This could be taken as either just a friendly neighbourly drink or... once you put alcohol into the situation the night will develop one way or another.


And if you pop a post up here to let us know where you will be we can all come down and watch the play by play!


I'm hoping she finds you as lovely and romantic as I thought you were.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
