    Oh dear me...so negative on this board. ;)

    Why not PN? Who knows what happens tomo?

    OK, don't answer..I probably couldn't face the dating game if I were traded in for totty tomo but...but.....Max met someone by online dating.

    You could give it a go?.........and do a blog about it (written in your funny mode) and .. da da * bonustime* earn a bit of ££££ from the google ads (which will probably be loads of online dating ads).

    Mind you, all the extra cash would then get spent on extra grooming etc so no net cash gain.

    Wow, what's with the compassionate conservatism.
    Have you got an eye on a parliamentary seat fc?

    I've not done online dating, but I have had a profile on many a site ... this has come about over the years when a group of us online would collectively join site after site for various reasons ... usually those that involved daft quizzes.

    In all that time, I would get many, many, many approaches by random men all over the world ... and to a man (idiot) they would all be disgustingly upfront/offensive, offering kn0b pics.

    So then, a friend who said she was experienced at this sort of thing said she'd write me a really good profile on a well-known national site... and she did. After 2 weeks she called me and said "OMG ... move!!! ... I've never seen anything like the response ... they all sent unsolicited kn0b pics and they're all over 70".

    :)

    No thanks.

    compassionate conservatism.

    Is that what it sounds like? It was just chat really....thinking PN's post sounded a bit low so I posted a zippy upbeat suggestion if she felt like changing the status quo?
    Nothing ventured and all that.

    Probably because at I am currently stressing out on entrpreneurialism spirit right now and wanted to share the spirit.

    Politics? Not me..I like to see a problem and sort it out not natter on and on about it ad infinitum.;)

    OMG I had no idea....how gross out is that? 70 yr old kn0b pix?....I am beyond words (no disrespect to any 70 yr olds on the board).

    In fact, apologies board, I have to use one of these :eek:

    Much better to get the solicited kind. And 70" must be some kind of Photoshop trickery.

    Hey PN, I did my bit of internet dating. Here's my ad. "Large lady with interest in the classics seeks soul mate to share Pot Noodles with".

    Apparently it worked for me.

    Well looks like FF traded you in for another .....:kisses2:

    This is exactly the sort of no-nonsense change the country needs.
