Okkay, you are lost and alone, feeling very vulnerable, and scared, isolated in your person and the place you leave... (yep I do know what you are talking about)
Look Brits are everywhere - I'm one and I live in Aus - firstly you need to start interacting both behind the scenes, using flowers and emails, then venture in the forums... have some fun, put your two pence worth, allow others to see your personality show through that way.... the fact that you have created a thread says you are ready to take the next stage, so take it...(for I'll aready know, you may have met your Brittish man)
hah!!!, call me a cynic, but this ain't going to last.... but in the meantime, the petrol cans are being filled, and what do you do... yes, the petrol cans have gone up in price...
television dvd ipads/thinkpads running water sewerage plants waste disposal centres (that sell your waste) laser printers clothes dryers (mine's working overtime again!!) treadmills battery operated fragrance scenters battery operated cockie killers telephones (landline) - no more telegraphs delivered to your door emails/ecards - replaces letters and cards (very good for overseas rellies)
This is very important. Always ask to meet her or his parents on the first date. If his family includes a wife - not a good sign. In fact, it is good if you can double-date with the parents. You can see how his parents interact, how they get along, how they treat each other. Does the father drink five martinis in an hour, does the mother go to the Ladies Room depressed and comes out looking very, very happy? Now most experts don't think that this is a good idea, inviting his or her parents out on the first date, but you do marry into the family. And it is always good to see just how crazy they can be, before you get any further involved with your potential mate.
After the day I had I wanted something likehearted - so being a "dating site"...
I thought I would share these 5 gems from my not so favourite search engine...
1. Use the Phone First:
Before you go on a date with someone, chat with them over the phone. There are certain red flags you should look for. If a recording says the call is being monitored, this could mean your potential date is in prison and just getting out next week . If you hear three or four kids crying in the background, two or three dogs barking in the background, or someone hollering "Bubba shut your trap, I'm on the telephone..." these might be good reasons to rethink the date. Of course, if you call and the number has been disconnected, hmmm, need we say more? Also watch how the person answers the phone. If they say " Joe's morgue, you stab them, we slab them," this is an indicator that it could be a bad date punctuated by bad jokes. If the person answers the phone with a lisp, then says "wait a minute, let me get my teeth", you might want to think twice about a good-night kiss on that first date.
2. Pay Attention To Your Date
It is always a good idea to pay attention to your date or as the old saying goes, if you can't be sincere, fake it. Even though he is reliving his high school football days when he was 100 pounds thinner, or she is telling you about how romantic her third wedding was, act like you care. If he keeps adjusting his toupee or she keeps readjusting her dentures, do not despair. Your blind date is human and just needs attention and love and you can make it work. Of course, having said that, if your date shows up wearing overalls, no shirt , and a tobacco stained moustache , still pay attention. Pay close attention to where the nearest exit is and plan your escape route.
3. Go Someplace Special
Where he or she meets you on the first date, says a lot about your expectations in a relationship. Good places not to meet are:
McDonalds, who wants fries with their relationship; A cheap bar, who wants a mate who likes cheap liquor and lots of it; The Thrift Store, who wants a mate who has a collection of clothes from the 70s a Starbucks; who wants a date who thinks it is financially sound to spend five bucks on coffee. His friend's house where they sit around playing computer games Motel 6 Pre-school where he has to pick up this three kids Adult book store Strip club' Hell's Angel meeting
What Do You Really Know About Him?
Before you go out with them, ask his friends some questions?. Does he go to the library or strip bars, does he go home and watch TV or stumble out of a different watering hole every night, is every Friday reserved for his mother or his probation officer? Of course you have to very careful about this, say we say, spying? I don't recommend stalking as ,, for some reason this tends to upset people, So don't pop out of the bushes and scare him or her. Stay in the bushes until they go to bed, then sneak home.
Thankyou - as I really didn't fully understand why those programmes like 4 corners, 60 mins had changed their formulas to as you call them to "puff pieces"
now part 2 Reading an article on Fairfax vs Langcock
My recollection when Packer, Murdock and the English guy (?black) were all vying for tv/newspapers rights, the government stepped in and protected the freedom of press from takeovers... so if that happened then, why are the government today trying to interfer with Langcock from sinking her money (all of 17%) into the Fairfax group ... I really don't understand the mind-set ... particularly as you have pointed out traditional news is being replaced by digital - just like vinyl records have been replaced by digital music....
please please not on adult men.... young children, no prob, but adults.... wearing waist high shorts, and shirt tucked in, or loose, where's the fashion police when you need one...........
I don't really care who controls the world, I care enough, to poke my head out of my little bubble and try and figure out who's controlling Australia -
So Carl, is that why 60mins and other abc, sbs hard hitting journals had the rug pulled out from under the feet... and the tough stories become superficial magazine type editorials instead..
I really enjoyed the early years of 60 mins.... Yana, Mike, etc., but then I also used to enjoyed 9's wide world of sports until they screwed with that programme...
however many of you so called australians can say you're a 10th + pommy coal miners daughter... oh yeah... my father was down the mines at the age of 14 until we immigrated to Aus....
