My thanks to Bob and Lisa for all their hard work in organising the evening and to everyone I chatted to who made it so enjoyable.
Use gloved hand, then withdraw to a safe distance
Bob & Lisa,
I'm afraid I haven't received the details either.

How can you now tell whether a profile belongs to a premium member or a free member? It used to be one of the filter options on the previous search, but isn't on the new search. Perhaps the answer is that you can't tell anymore - which seems a backward step.
Related to that, I have been looking for, but unable to find, what free members can and cannot do. Can they, for example, send PMs or just winks? If you respond to an advert from a free member, can they reply to you - or are you just wasting your time?
Similarly, if you respond to a wink from a free member, can they reply to your PM?
I like the new search facility, but have a couple of observations:
Premium/Trial Members. There now appears to be no way that one can identify trial members. This information does not show on their profile, and the search button was the only way of identifying this. Quite apart from not being able to know which members won't be able to reply (which has already been mentioned) many people used this as a filter of "seriousness" to minimise the chances of contacting the proverbial timewasters.
Last Seen. The default cut-off time of "Over 2 weeks" remains a thoroughly unsatisfactory answer. There is no way of telling the differnce between a member who is taking a short break and one who lost interest years ago. Before the last revamp, the profiles showed when the member last logged on. Couldn't this be re-instated?
Recently Active. What is the definition of "recently active"?
It's probably called Moloko Plus because it's a milk stout ............. and "moloko" is Russian for "milk".
Many of the other slang words in "A Clockwork Orange" were also just tranliterations of Russian words, like "droog" for friend and "tolchock" for blow.
Bob and lisa,
Could you add my name to the list, please?
John
I've never eaten a kebab.
I've never had a beard.
I've never been further than 2 miles from another human being.
Like being abused by dominant women?
Avoid all the hassle and expense of arranging a meet. Just turn up and make a few derogatory remarks at a WRVS conference. (Well, it worked for Tony Blair ......)
If you hear someone singing (then groans),
Or you glimpse a flat cap ‘midst old crones,
Or while in a car park
Spot a bike in the dark,
Don’t worry – it’s just Harry Jones!
It’s terribly sad about Lucy;
She’s addicted to forums, you see.
When not doing that
You’ll find her in chat
- No wonder her profile’s so juicy!
30% ...... Mind you, it was rather alarming to watch the pointer continuing to rise to 100% before moving to the actual results page. :shock:
And not forgetting …………
“A real man instinctively knows that the correct position of a toilet seat is up – except, of course, when it is actually being sat on to read the newspaper while having a crap.” (Who said men can't multi-task??!!)
Strange ........... I suddenly have this irresistable urge to buy a washing machine.
Well ..............
(The only problem is that I can't move now.)
