Well I've got back from an excellent skiing holiday. My what fun you've been having while I'm away. Flirting while I'm not here. Outrageous ! Dave will tell you how I managed to pull while flirting over Email. Quite bizarre as I wasn't trying to pull at all but suddenly got an Email just to me about how we *must* meet up and we were enjoying croissants in bed on the Sunday morning a couple of days later.

Anyway, to clear up a few bits from various threads. I do not have a silly hat for skiing. In fact, this week I didn't wear one much at all. Then it was more for preventing sun-stroke than anything else. Got a great tan even after larding myself up with factor 15 suncream.
However, Dave's quite right that I wore my pink and brown rugby top. Tres chic ! Although it's a Cambridge thing, it's actually Winston Churchill's fault. Something to do with raspberry profiteroles and chocolate sauce.

Flirting by e-mail (or messenger) is very dangerous. You could end up like me. Married.

I went for the more traditional 'eyes met across a crowded party' thing. Coupled with the *worst* chat up line in history:

'Do you want to see Matt's car brochures?'

still, it seemed to work. And giving her a lift home in my ancient mini didn't put her off either. I was caffeined to high heaven as I was driving so drinking coke. Got through 3 litres that night, didn't sleep at all.

I managed to avoid the marriage thing. She's back in New Zealand now so I think I'm safe...

The girlfriend before that, I pulled by offering her some of my 21st birthday cake (apparently). Again I thought nothing of it. My b'day's in October so I just offered cake to everyone in my staircase at college as we hadn't got to know each other yet. It was years later when she admitted she'd fancied me from the start.

eee, I used to dream of living in t'staircase. Luxury.

*ahem* sorry about that.

I think it's about time somebody did a 'Four Geordies' sketch, myself .... all trying out do one another in hardness ...

"I'm that hard, me, I went with Captain Scott to the Antarctic, and d' y' knaa what, I divven't put a shirt on once."

hadaway man, ye caal that hard? Ah gan oot doon the Bigg Market on a saturday neet with a mackum shirt on.

Translation for furriners;

"Good grief, old chap, you don't call that manly, do you? Why, I go out to the nightclubs in Bigg Market (Newcastle) every Saturday night wearing the shirt of Newcastle's deadly rivals Sunderland."

the equivalent of standing on top of a mountain in a thunderstorm wearing copper underpants and shouting 'all gods are *******'

to paraphrase Mr T. Pratchett.

Nothing wrong with fflirting on the Fforum. ;-)

nothing wrong with fflirting anywhere! I was just saying that the traditional approach worked for me that time!

e-flirting is fun.

My friends Iain F and Vikki started flirting on the internet.
Result: she moved to England and married him.

Traditional method is several drinks and an ill-advised grope on the way home, isn't it?

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

I had several drinks (all coca cola), and groping whilst trying to drive a somewhat erratic mini is ill-advised at best.

I've no objection to flirting - anytime, anyplace anywhere...

It'd be highly hypocritical if I did !!

I've never understood that phrase either. What's the difference
between 'anyplace' and 'anywhere' ?

the spelling? :-)

I guess "anytime, 'anyone', anywhere" wouldn't have suited the Martini image. People who drink Martini aren't supposed to carry on with just anybody, you know.
Of course, for Thursday Next, it could be 'anytime, anyplace, anywhen'.

Flirting online is wonderful and leads to wonderful real life things :D

(weren't we talking about skiing? ;))

I was skiing with two very attractive young ladies so a certain amount of flirting went on. It'd be rude not to...

I don't know how to ski - never had the money or the urge to break a leg that way. Given the opportunity, I'd rather take the risk of breaking a leg horse-riding.
