Is it possible...

[shambles]

..to fall in love in Sainsbury's on Denmark Hill?

[clare]

on the post pub trolley dash?? Go for it!!!

[Keef]

They say a lou of people meet whilst doing their shopping.

[Polly D]

Go on then Shambles, what happened?

[CrystalClear]

quite right keef, I met a lou when shopping once.

[Keef]

You're such a tw"t sometimes ;-)

I mean they say lots of people meet their future spouces whilst in supermarkets.

I've seen lots of ladies I wouldn't mind chatting to, but what are you supposed to say!?!?!?!?

[dulwichmum]

Come on Shambles - whats the story?

[shambles]

well...i think i fell head over heels near the fresh pasta shelves - but didn't know what to say...we made eye contact and we did pay at the same time at an aisle next to each other and then...i went to the car park and that was it! i'll probably never ever see him again :'(

must go to work...see you tonight

[Keef]

Right, next time you see him (keep the faith) remember that he would more than likely love for you to say something, as, believe it not, blokes are usually worse at making the first move than ladies!!!!

Blokes who have no fear of the first move are usually slimey gits who want a quick way in to knickers and not a lot more!!!

Sorry if that's a harsh generalisation, but based on the people I know, I think it's pretty fair.

[Polly D]

Given the number of forum readers he may well be one of them - Mr Fresh Pasta Aisle Man - The Drum tonight at 7.30pm (but you may be fashionably late of course.

[Keef]

That would be so cool (yes I'm an old romantic) :))

[Polly D]

Keef - you should try loitering in supermarkets ready to discuss recipe ideas. That would show you're a true metrosexual and the ladies love that.

[Keef]

It's okay Polly, I have Mrs Keef at home (I don't mean that as in wifey at home) :-S

But in the past I have seen people in the supermarkets and thought I wish I had the guts to say something witty and charming to her. But instead I'd generally walk past with my head down cursing my rubbishness!

[Polly D]

As long as Mrs Keef doesn't mind. I know what you mean though. Just be careful, some of us ladies pop to the supermarket in pajamas so don't look too closely next time.

[Keef]

Oh no, this was pre Mrs Keef, these days I just send her to the shops!!! JOKE!!!!

[Polly D]

Hey Shambles, anything further to report?

[shambles]

sadly no. last time i went to sainsbury's i bumped into mr & mrs mockney and saw crystal from a distance - but alas mr fresh pasta man was nowhere to be seen:'(

[Michael Palaeologus]

Mr and Mrs Mockney get everywhere! Coming down the pub? EDT at 8.

[mockney piers]

Mrs Mockney in Scotland. Mr Mockney coughing his guts up under duvet.

Hello again Shambles, it was nice to see you again, albeit briefly, as you could see we'd bumped into another friend. It's a small sainsburys. Was that your sister?

[shambles]

no!! that was my daughter!! i know i was young when she was born - final year of uni - but even so!

she was back from school so we were out buying tuck. glad you didn't see my trolley as it was stuffed with crap. so embarrassing! i always get strange looks from people when offloading it at the check out...and she always buggers off to the magazine section to avoid such stares!!

what did you buy?

nice to see you both again too :)
