    that's nice scaredy, hope it works out for you. I take it you placed the ad seeing he contacted you but what was the response like - was he the one that stood out or were there lots of "maybe" candidates?

    well, funny how once i put a pic up - albeit a 4 yrs old pic - i seemed to get a lot more interest!!!:confused::rotfl:

    I got quite a few messages, but some were from guys over 100miles or more away, and one from a 19yr old :eek:

    He's only 35ish miles away and i have also been chatting to another guy who is about 20 miles away. This chap just got in first asking to meet up :rotfl::T:rotfl:
