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 :))

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.

      I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
