** I thought we were going to hear about your very worst date, **
nah .. :-))) ..
can't think of any .. .. maybe it's selective amnesia  t'was a blog site i heard 'em chatting about on the radio ..
sounded amusing .. .. at the time ..
( btw: my comp won't display their dot com site )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ item of interest here was the gold crafted artifacts find ~ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/magazine/8275357.stm ~
" .. Such is the scale of the find, Anglo-Saxon scholars believe it will force a rethink on the period. The find is believed to date from somewhere between the late 6th and late 7th Century.
.. At the time, Staffordshire was the heartland of the Kingdom of Mercia, which was militarily aggressive and expansionist under the kings Penda, Wulfhere, and Aethelred. " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IP: Logged |

One of my very worst dates was off match.com - the guy specified "no fruitcakes or mind games" in his profile and I thought, uh oh, this means HE is a fruitcake who plays mind games and I really really didn't want to meet him - but he pestered me for a date so I said ok. The day was freezing cold and I was outside the venue we were supposed to meet at dead on time. Then this guy phoned me up saying his train wasn't running on time and he was going to be late - so I said OK - then he kept phoning me up about every 5 mins to give me an update, which was annoying. I waited 2 HOURS and then switched my phone off and left as the day was absolutely freezing. I received an infuriated text message later: "U r clearly a time waster!" Yeah RIGHT!!!!! D!ckhead!!Another awful date that never happened was after a Middle Eastern guy stopped me outside Harrods and said "I like your hat, can I have your number" so I said OK, and he phoned me up the next week for a date. We arranged to meet outside Harvey Nicks and I was there bang on time. No sign of bloke so I waited 15 mins and then went inside the shop. Bloke calls me and goes "Where ARE you?"
"Well, I was bang on time and you weren't there, so I went inside the shop. Where are YOU?"
"I saw you. I was waiting outside Harvey Nicks in a silver Ferrari and you didn't notice." (This really creeped me out.)
"Well, if you were outside, why didn't you just get out of the car and say hello? Oh, wait - you wanted ME to get IN THE CAR with you?" (As in, ain't happening)
"OK. I'll park the car and you can meet me a hundred yards down the road."
"So where are we going for coffee?"
"I don't know."
Weird, I thought. Aloud I said: "Actually, I'd rather leave it if you don't mind."
"LOOK! IT'S NOT DIFFICULT!!"
"You're being very aggressive," I said,"and I just want to call the whole thing off."
"OK! If you want to be like that you can p*ss off!"
"Stupid git," I said, and hung up. I reported the guy to the police, the whole incident was just so weird...and my mother subsequently said she heard on the news about some Middle Eastern man behaving strangely towards women in the Knightsbridge area...hmmm. Read up on that archaeological find - it's awesome!!! IP: Logged |
