Julie is working for the police

There is a novel, or a film in your lifestory I’m sure of it… :-)

I like your observations in itallics - the one about the Prof… so what do you think about that? Why more accommodating to others?

Operation Julie…..a blast from the past!! This whole dating thing is really begining to depress me….mine not yours although yours is begining to bring me down too…. tonight am going to the Barbican to see the Bauhaus exhibition with some 57 year old with arrested development who thinks 3 weeks between dates is de rigeur….oh shoot me now!!!

Oh no, that’s no good… three weeks is far too long. It’s not cool to make them wait.

No idea F… well, I have some but they reach down under stones that are best unturned.

Good for the nurse. There’s someone for everyone out there.

Bad meals have a place in this world. They serve to show you just how good a good meal is.

Not kidding here…is Operation Julie the inspiration for The Clash’s Julie’s In The Drug Squad?

Wish I was going to the Barbican tonight.

A sentence about Meccano?

How the hell do you work Meccano into a conversation?

Was it
“Do you want to come around to my house to play with my Meccano set?”

or

“Are you any good at screwing nuts?”

UB: 1) Just one meeting so far, but I like her a lot. Same social level as me, literate, and really fit [=goodlooking, physically attractive]. Bit worried as she hasn’t said anything since Monday, but she’s a busy lass.

2) Shit food–can tell you’ve been to Las Vegas :)

3) Yes! I didn’t know the song until I got home and wikipedied for Operation Julie. Well spotted.

4) Me too! Hope YAH gets on OK with her widely spaced date.

TSB: There was quite a rambling paragraph on her profile which started “Ok, there’s the obvious stuff but I’m not interested in having a fling based on my having a lovely set of meccano models. So, apart from my penchant for 1950’s construction toys (this is a lie) […]”

What man isn’t going to find that interesting?

Sent her an email three days ago. One lives in hope.

I could make a comment like, she’s obviously looking a for a missing screw, but it’s too obvious, so I won’t.

PS.

It’s nice to see that Homer and I agree on something, even if it’s that you’re a rather insensitive *&^%$%^&

Let me know what you think of “Little Bob” after you see Le Havre

your dating is making me tired… it must be emotionally exhausting for you. easy to get jaded. i only did online dating for 3 months (met a lovely gent there), but couldn’t take it any longer…

I’m bored with hearing about it too :) But it’s my only option. I’d love to be proved wrong but I can’t get anything moving IRL in Lancaster. There just aren’t the women.

“Why am I so pleasantly tolerant to her and so horrible to the Prof?”

Seems to me the answer is fairly obvious. In one of your lives, you’d have liked to be a Prof yourself (otherwise, why embark on a PhD – it’s too much like hard work, as I tell my own hapless PhDers), and her success underlines your faint suspicion of failure? And your sense that women are not meant [really] to be *that* clever. Or at least, demonstrably cleverer than you. Unless, of course, they start by ripping your trousers off.

Yes, of course, my comments are cruel – just as yours on the Prof are. Give her a break, she’s just a human being wanting probably much the same things as you.But you’ve judged her in a way she didn’t judge you. You never know, she might be part of just what you’re looking for. Or maybe thinking she’s not what you’re looking for, the encounter will help you work out what you *are* looking for.

I would object only to the part in which says that I have a sense that women are not really meant to be that clever. I’m attracted to clever women–it’s a necessary condition for me and inextrivably linked to how physically attractive I find a woman.
