    lol

    I'm afraid I don't know what the manager at mine looks like - i do know there cuppachino (sp sorry) is awesome and I can just sit and read for hours there

    Oh and there ham and cheese toastie is yummy

    We had egg and ham muffins at the one in Preston that were to die for. But i'm a sucker for a chocolate twist or apricot croissant. But i do love that you can sit there for hours reading or whatever and not be bothered.

    Until closing time, that is :p

    Does seem a bit mad doesn't it. I do have a few really flattering (for me :D) old photos that I could use - but wouldn't for that exact reason. Why start off lying when you are looking for a (hopefully) long term partner?

    I doubt seeing the guys jaw fall to the floor would do much for my confidence either!

    Have had some amusing messages so far, & a few not so amusing but nothing planned yet. I still can't believe I'm doing this.

    Yeah I think some people try and fool themselves they look younger than what they are. The best way of doing it would be to put an awful photo up and then at least when you do turn up, the other person might be pleasantly surprised.

    haha that's one way of doing things! I got told a story once by a friend who was talking to a bloke she thought looked nice and when they met up he had gone from having a full head of hair to being completely bald! Suffice to say they didn't meet again :D

    Its ok not being entirely truthful about looks if you are never going to meet up and it is only ever going to be an online friendship, but if you intend to meet the person then it stands to reason you need to tell the truth, because they will find out when they see you anyway.

    Not bad thanks. Bit boring (apart from the hour in Costa haha) but I've been down to my old air cadets to see about volunteering so that's perked me up :)

    How was yours?

    Like it. Some reverse psychology. So all I need to do is find a photo of me looking really fat & he'll think I'm truly slim. 0^0 - you are a genius :D
