Wanted: Nice looking woman to start the year with... (Lounged)


Recommended Posts

In case you missed my post on the other thread..


'That was a good night, I'm amazed by the turn out, looks like the board must be popular. I was more surprised by the number of people that told me they'd only come along to meet me, I didn't realise I'd created such interest.

The people were much as I expected, a complete cross section. Some very friendly that I'd like to see again, some normal people and one utter @#$%& who just stood and laughed at me - very polite.'


Thinking more, it wasnt the easiest enviroment to chat as the music was up loud (something I have trouble with) through no fault of the organisers.


Having told my mates of my experience, there are 4 or more than want to come along to the next drinks and maybe the curry club, a couple use the forum and a couple dont. More new meat for you all :)

Ah, but are they nice looking? ;-) ....(sorry, only joking... couldn't resist)


Glad you enjoyed yourself anyway. Other drinks haven't always been at places as noisy as that, though last time I came (to Hoopers) we moved onto the EDT afterwards which made the Phoenix seem almost civilised in its volume. Ouch, and now I sound like an old woman...

:)) My mate J4mes has just become single and he is rather a catch, I'll get him along to the next one.

As commented by someone else, its hard to speak to everyone although I would have liked to, so having built a base talking to a few people I now look forward to the chance of speaking to more.

There will always be another time and if you can't wait for the next drinks, there is always pms.

I think us singletons need to promote ourselves and our single friends. By the way - very brave to start a thread like this Miles!

You have just done J4ames a good turn - think he might owe you a drink now. Looking forward to meeting such a catch! ;-) I will also bring my single friend Kate along to the next drinks.

I was joking with another forumite that I might start a blog about my love life, it's usually a good read.

TBH I find people who swear inarticulate and stupid, but sometimes you're driven to it.

So would we be talking a male version of Bridget Jones, or more Sex and the City??


All these promises of single men at the next drinks, I'm disappointed I can't make them!

Being a real man, I have no idea what a male version of Bridget Jones, or more Sex and the City might involve never having watched them :))

Fair comment... I'm not sure I've ever met a straight man who liked Sex and the City, or seen Bridget Jones without being dragged to the cinema by their girlfriend.


Bridget Jones is basically an updated version of Pride and Prejudice.... but then maybe it's only us girls that watched that too ...*drifts off into dreams of Colin Firth*... (I should add I loved the book long before the BBC adaptation)

I hear word from a mutual acquaintance that some guy, now dropped by one woman, is moving on to an 'attractive model'.


Well, models are prob by definition in some sense attractive. To somebody.


But this whole model thing is beyond belief.

The world is not full of 'attractive models'.

And the population of 'attractive models' are probably not the first place to find mates.


(And don't let me start on the online dating sites populated by men looking for women 30 years younger. Who all themselves look like the proverbial cat-hedge-wise, and twenty years older that their stated age in real life, and suffering from severe personality problems invariably.)


Women, to create a level playing field, start lying about everything big-time.


Rant over.

    • When I managed a large staff group, and workers were needed for Christmas day, there was always a queue of people wanting a shift, for many reasons.  Where is the problem-why is it shameful?
    • 🎄Are you flying solo for Xmas?   🎄Let’s be honest-it can be weird. But maybe it’s also a chance to just …chill.   🎄How are you planning to treat yourself and make the day feel good?   🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅All ideas welcome.    ✌️Drop yours below. 🎄🎄🎄
    • Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's.  'Festive Flavours', apparently.
    • My nominations are the Goblin Band at the Goose, and the Errol Linton Trio  at the Dulwich Folk Club.  I'm not sure what other venues we have in the immediate area.  I rarely do the big (1000 plus) places any more.  Your nominations? And a special mention to Truthpaste, at least one member is local and their video was recorded around here.  But I caught them in North London.  And please see the link to the BBCs recording of the Copper Family at the Castle a few weeks ago~: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002ng53
