Nah.


Curvy = fat

Bubbly = fat

Vivacious = fat

Fun-loving = fat

Brutal but true.


I can guarantee that my idea of fun and my SOH will not be the same as those of anybody describing themselves as either fun-loving or having a GSOH :))


ETA: It's the dating equivalent of those places which describe the stuff they sell as "stylish" :))

Not tried it, but I imagine speed dating is the most efficient form of dating.


A minute or two is probably all you need with anyone - to make a decision as to whether to take it any further.



Unfortunately (so I'm told) it's also the one the attracts the highest proportion of 'not with a bargepoles'.

Yeh but the weird ones have cottoned onto that.


You don't find out they're weird till later.


Apart from the one who thought it was a good dating ploy to send me a link to a website dedicated to his dead wife.

No Mad Mick I'm not even trying. Even flies give me a wide berth!

With there being so many 'experts' on internet dating posting I was wondering what exactly a female could write to attract the males on here who see most things as meaning something else?

I met my partner via online dating 8 years ago and still going strong :) When I was last single I was urged by 20/30-somethings at work to try online dating as that was considered 'the norm' by them. Tried it for a few months, met some very interesting peeps, had some quite frankly hilarious dates, and finally met R.


The trick (I feel) is to not take online dating uber seriously, to have some fun, to have a decent 'get out' strategy (always meet for coffee or drinks on first meeting, never a meal) and to keep an open mind. Many online daters are far to strict with their requirements....


'female 36 - wants to meet solvent, tall, dark handsome man with own hair, house and car. Must adore cats and no beards/moustaches.'


'male late 40s - wants to meet green eyed oriental lady 18-29. Must be under size 10 and large bossomed.'

That's because they thought you genuinely had a GSOH rather than that you were being honest :))

      Hand car wash

      I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
