What, are you mad?
I can't say I particularly like either of them, but at least BK serve stuff that looks like it might once have been alive.

You go to a speed dating event and the only women who show any interest in you are the ones that need their PCs fixing.
Guess that'll be me last night, then...
Oh well, did any of the ones that want their PC fixing appeal to you?
I get that a lot when I meet people, for some reason they think that a Linux sysadmin will know exactly how to sort out whatever crap proprietary software they happen to have running on their POS Windoze box.

so you have as much success as me at speed dating then......
:) :) hey at least 1 out of 30 liked me!!!!!! :P :P :P :P seriously though.... do you think we should set up a speedating support group....for the down and rejected!!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: Quote by SXBOY
wearing a pc world badge with your name on is dead give away
how was it really ?
Oi, language.
It wasn't too bad, although two minutes isn't really long enough to get a good feel for someone. (not in that way, you mucky buggers)
They had a novel way of breaking the ice there. All the women were issued with locks and all the men were issued with keys, the object being that the men go around trying their keys in locks and if you find a matching pair, you both get entered into a prize draw and get given a new lock and key. Sadly, I didn't manage to match with any locks.
Well I just got an e-mail from my friendly local speeddating organisers asking if I wanted to go to one for my age group. They mostly only organise them for the sad old gits round here so this is a once in 6 months opportunity. It is £18
I really don't know if I should go, never been before... don't know if I want to meet another GF... but think I should probably put myself out there a bit.
Any suggestions ???

Yeah, some of them were nice, but I don't think their interest in me was anything more than free/cheap tech support.

Oh well, worth a try I suppose.
I must admit I've never been speed dating, I got pulled by my other half waiting for a bus outside work (about the only time I've been happy to regularly spend 3/4 of an hour waiting for a number 11 when they're supposed to turn up every 7 minutes.)

All I seem to be able to pull these days are muscles...
A while back I was in a pub with my mate whose background is nursing and this had come out in conversation. Suddenly an attractive young man was at my side saying "So - are you a nurse too?" And I thought - bugger it - "Yes, I am." Unfortunately he was better acquainted with the local hospital than I and as my conversation stuttered to a halt he said "You're not a nurse, are you." "No," I said, "I'm a computer programmer but I thought nurse had more pulling power." "You're right!" he said and walked off.
I swear this is totally true.
Jezzay.
PS I have my first speed-dating event coming up. Will report back. What should I pretend to be?

Well personally I'd say that computer programmer had a lot more pulling power than nurse (unless you program in VB or something equally dodgy), but only if you want to pull a geek like me (or even a geek completely unlike me, which would probably be a better bet).
Quote by Deviated Prevert
...(unless you program in VB or something equally dodgy)..
...very perceptive! I've always thought it best to choose your technologies based on pulling power, but it's hard to pitch that to the folks in HR in charge of the training budget. "Look, I know we're very short of <last big thing> skills, but it really doesn't cut any ice with women!"
I'm guessing Java Swing is very popular in these parts.

And its about this point I am reminded of Chandler in Friends talking about his W I N U S
I personally believe accountants make exceptionally borring dates for this reason (and other work related reasons)
Oh and I took some advice and did indeed sign up for the speed dating event.... and I will be back to blame people if it doesn't work out and turns into a complete disaster ! ! !
I will just have to remember to be charming rather than irritable on the day in question.... god its so difficult to be spontanious in our modern times.... on queue 20 times an hour at one of these things.
I think I will just tick yes for everyone that doesn't look like a complete mingger, or is obviously possessed by the devil.
