"Blessed Are the Cheesemakers"
"Well what's so special about the Cheesemakers?"
"Darling, I don't think it's meant to be taken literally, but as a reference to any manufacturers of dairy products"
Nah, nah I'm only kidding you.
Oh, well, out this door one..
I know I know, line on the left, one cross each.
It is with a heavy heart and great regret that I must post myself and angel's apologies. We were on the list, and were getting ready to go (we're only like 15 miles from Glasgow) when Angel (the missus) managed to slip whilst we were in town buying someone (yet) another pair of shoes. She managed to damage her hip and lower back, and one trip to A&E and one morphine shot later, the only place we were going was home. I could have possibly made it in myself, but I couldn't and wouldn't leave her alone when she's out of her skull just for a social night out. Real apologies to Lucy (as I said in our pm), and I guess we'll see everyone at the next munch. Sounded like everyone had a lot of fun, so we're both gutted we missed it. Glad everything went well, and we'll see everyone next time, hopefully.
I was buying a kilt for meself, or was gonna have the Missus roll me one, but alas, it has not come to pass. I've been swamped with work etc and just have had no time. Deadline is tomorrow though, so we'll still be able to come. If I'm still alive on Saturday.
See everyone we don't know there! (which is pretty much everybody. eek)
Our confirm is in. Sorry for the lack of speed with it. We've not been around much recently, been away visiting folks, and I've a module exam to for my course at college...
Looking forward to the munch over there in Glasgow.....
Not wearing a kilt though...
Any ideas on fees etc. for the bar cost/buffet?
All of our dodgy stuff (not that there's much; really need a digital camera) is on a directory in my Pictures folder.
Being me a Mac user though, I've set it to be write-only for my normal user account. It just won't open unless you know the password!
You see: true initiative is always a wonder to behold!
As with everything in life, you pay for what you get. Tartan (proper stuff, that is) is handwoven, and takes an age to make. The kilt is then handmade from that (unless you're really into tradition, and like to roll your own, so to speak every time you put it on. If you're on the west coast and have a car, there's a really good kilt-makers in Inverary (spelling!). He'll make your kilt for you, but again, be prepared to pay the big bucks for it, since it represents a couple of solid weeks work for a true Master.
I may purchase an acrylic kilt off eBay, as they're not too shabby, on further reflection. However, getting on in Ancient Campbell (the only tartan I have the right to wear) may be tricky!
Aye, I was looking at getting a kilt, till the missus showed me how much they cost. Even if you cut out the expensive Glasgow retailers, and go to the source (usually in a tourist shack up in the Highlands) you're still talking the best part of £300 for a good kilt. Without the trimmings. Alas, until I can splash on such frivolity, it'll be a pair of black trousers and a shirt for muggins. And no clan gatherings either, more's the pity.
Although I have seen some fake ones on eBay (Acrylic not wool) going for about £30. But it's not really a kilt.
~Oooh. Thanks. I honestly did not expect you to say yes. Many thanks, and we'll see you at the munch.
I know what the answer probably is, since we're not really well known enough yet, but I thought I'd ask:
Any chance of an invite for meself and the missus for this one? Or shall we be waiting till the next one, presumably in the summer next year?
Seriously speaking, as opposed to the joke of it all, do give up. If for no other reason than you don't want to die in agony, on a respirator in hospital. Both my parents die of chronic lung obstruction, caused by smoking. My Mom when I was 14, my dad last year when I was 21. I don't think I really need any more motivation to not smoke than that.
Good Gods! You english really like football, don't you. Personally I've never understood the obsession with a game most people I know think is only for kids.
For the record, to unconfuse those confused; I only live in Scotland (where they're not nearly as obsessed with football), with my Scots missus. I'm actually welsh.
Now, rugby or sex, that's a whole different question. Kinda like Sex or Violence (which if Pontypridd playing it usually is!!). Think I'd have to argue sex. Unless it's Wales vs england, and we're winning.
I would like to humbly apologise for my earlier comment which I thoroughly retract. I honestly did not, in any way whatsoever mean for the post to be considered reasonable, intelligent, or even legible, these being hallmarks of my other half (who one day WILL post on here, just her machine's in the shop getting fixed, and she hates my laptop's keyboard).
That chocolateknob should find my post thus is most distressing, and I humbly apologise to those members who may have thought I was on the wrong side here. Many many apologies, and please feel reassured in the knowledge that any future posts I may make will be complete and utter bollocks. Much like this one!
What I think it shows (and I'm being backed up on this by HRH the Missus) is that there are a shitload of guys that register on here (probably married and doing-it-behind-the-back jobs) in the vain hope of a quick fuck, and do nothing other than pm couples asking for said quick fuck. Most of the genuine guys, and virtually all the ladies and couples don't just advertise with an ad. They take the time to get known in the forum and chatroom and get their shagging from that, the ad being more a profile page than a means of contact. Nothing to do with a difference in sex drive between men and women. Merely women are usually more social than most guys (generalising here) and less likely to try and do absolutely anything needed to get their end away. Obviously there are decent guys on here. But they're the ones that are reading this,or in the forum. Not the ones that just post an ad, then go around emailing couples and ladies (usually ones who's ad's say "no single men") trying to get a quickie.
As you may have noticed, I've recently had to deal with a load of single men emails. Apologies for any bias that this may have caused.
I've worn one before (as well as a tourniquet) and it's ok I guess. Get's a bit painful and doesn't really do all that much. Mind you I am only 22. I've just been informed by the other half that it's quite a good thing.
But on the piercing thing:
Anyone comes near my old fella with a needle and they're gonna need serious surgery to remove an embedded foreign object from their eyeball. Maybe their prostate if I'm really pissed off!
Well that's buggered his bubble, ain't it?
Nah. You didn't.
We've not gotten to a single thing so far. If we're considered well-known by lucyweebaps before next month, we'll go along to the Scottish Munch. If not we'll await the next one. It will still be a bit nerve-racking since we won't really know anyone, and neither me nor the missus drink much, so just getting pissed is not really an option. Although I could, but she wouldn't be too chuffed, methinks.
Anyone else going to the Scottish Munch as their first time?
Freckled,may I humbly suggest the purchase of an Apple Macintosh machine, such as we use here (iBookG4 for him, eMac for her, for the SH geek crowd). Amongst the many fine features, such as no viruses+spyware, UNIX security and stability, Mac OS X also features something very very useful for you;
Built-in spell checking in every program, system wide. Including web-browser.
Hope this is of help to you....
Gadget boy here. Apple nerd (typing this on 12" iBookG4, listening to iPod Shuffle). But scarily enough, after introducing her to Apple gear, the missus is almost as bad, if not worse. She's now got an eMacG4 , and even worse, she's got a 20Gig 4th Gen iPod. More than me!
LOL. I'm around too. Had some work to catch up on (I do 3D animation at college/freelance so I work when the mood comes to me) and wanted to browse the cheap shit on eBay. Was gonna go into the Chat area, but all you get at this time of the morning is single english guys wanting a blowjob or some shit.
See that's why I just let sort it out for me. Apple spent a lot of effort making sure the junk mail filters in were pretty good. Although sometimes I go for a trawl through my Junk folder. Some of them porn ones are quite good, and the 419'ers (the Nigerian legal codename for fraud; that's what the scam mails are called) are always good for a laugh.
With regards viruses, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X, at all, I never usually bother myself. I have to laugh when I get sent e-mails with .pif or .scr or .att files that windows users can't see.
For some reason, some people truly excel in stupidity. Not your average run-of-the-mill 'd'oh' moment, but a truly stupendous act, that in any other field of endeavour would be akin to genius. Not that I'm anyone to talk, but at least I don't do things like pm-ming the person you're making a nuisance of yourself to, asking for a favour.
I haven't, and won't be asking for an invite, until such time as i think me and missus have made ourselves at least passably well known here. So we'll possibly miss this one, but hey, no biggy, there's always another one!
Fiver bet the above was a single male!
Trouble is though, when you factor in the fact that most of these people don't live anywhere near you, and then factor in that we're a bi-couple, means there's about 3 people on here! But hey, at the moment we care more about getting ourselves known in the community, and making some friends. Hugely fun swinging sex can come later.
Me (Math; male) from about 15, no more than 4 months.
Her (The Missus) said "about 3 years since I lost it, and I'm not saying when that was!"
