to all those single male forumites........

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Mrs Moos. Shame on you - you should not be perusing a thread about single males. Three brer rabbits.

[Moos]

Oops, caught. It looks as though you have got our duck, by the way.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Sorry.

Can we establish one thing here.Did the Men who did not turn up miss out or not?

Just that I'm easily confused.

[ClareC]

My understanding of the thread is that they did (miss out)....... but one forumite thought another had said they didnt miss out, so subsequently chastised said forumite for being rude, when they hadnt been rude, which in turn caused confusion, and then a subsequent apology to the accused forumite from the forumite that made the rude allegation......(tu)

then to add to the fun AcedOut said "Yikes, I wish I kept my mouth shut now! *runs for cover*" after the other Party who had misrepresented his comments had apologised.:)) which added to the muddy waters.

Basically the Guys who missed last time did,indeed,miss out:'(

Its a certainity what will happen next.

All the Males hearing the extremely healthy ratio will turn up en masse(I've already hired 2 mini-buses myself)B) and the Females disappointed by the same previous ratio will not bother to turn up at all:X

...so there will be 50 likely lads boozing it up talkig about last nights footie::o

[Moos]

A TLS classic!

I've just laughed for 5 minutes reading this.

Also, PGC is suspiciously silent on the topic of my duck. I want it back!

[AcedOut]

*emerging from under the table*

Tony.London Suburbs has now injected no end of confusion into this already desperately confused thread. Lounge anyone?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Am I correct in thinking that the men who didnt turn up with outed as Misses?

What, all of us?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I think the Duck is enjoying the respite. What is it about your animals?

[SteveT]

In the classic film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Arthur (Albert Finney), refers to his lady love as 'ducks' as a term of endearment.

Not many people under sixty know that.

[Moos]

Glad to report the Duck is back, having escaped from PGC Mansions and made its way home, a la Incredible Journey.

What I thought was a healthy glow from its brief holiday turns out to be just how the Duck is supposed to look - i.e. clean. I'd almost forgotten.

[SteveT]

Luv a duck

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Could I interest you in a cat that is currently sprawled on my sofa, Moos?

[SteveT]

That fat feline could feed a family of four in the far east!

Newham?

No, never met 'em

[jaybee82]

How annoying! I was going to go to this but completely forgot. Any plans for a follow-up? Could probably lure a few single mates over from Clapham...

Sorry to deviate from the subject here, but has anyone tried speed dating? I was asked to go a few months back but it all seems a bit weird to me!

[martell1]

Jay - we may hold another one but probably not until the New Year.

[Moos]

My cat is male* but no longer single, having recently taken up with a Titian-haired animal seductress.

*well, kind of. You know.

[SteveT]

Wots he doing on this singles thread?

Titian haired seductress* indeed,

they should be at the Kitty-trollopes R us centre.

I don't suppose he will be providing the necessary tins of whiskas for the duration of their lives together.

Lucky little ffffffffeline.

* Non-seductress asbestos.........a loose Latin translation.............. f*ck you I'm fireproof
