Hey! :flowerforyou:

Fellow Brits, do you think Austin sucks so you don't want to go there for the "MFP singles" meetup? Me neither! (Well... the real reason is because I'm broke and it's not convenient at all, but my pride prevents me from saying so, plus it's fun making fun of our american counterparts).

So, I'm trying to see if we've got enough people motivated to meet up in London UK! (Yes, the "tea and marmite London" not some pathetic ersatz)

Anyone would be interested? :bigsmile:

(if enough people are interested, doing this within a month would be cool, otherwise it's not going to happen! <= peer pressure!)
Note: Yeah... I know... I'm French, but who cares! :laugh:

    Hmm... Do I know you from somewhere??? Your face... perhaps... :laugh:

    We need to make a point of bumping this thread every morning UK time, otherwise it's going to be lost in the depths. Because there aren't that many of us...

    Dunno, never seen you before in my life! :glasses: :bigsmile:

    tbh, I didnt think there were any more of us? Although, out of 1000 peeps I imagine there are quiet Brits lurking in the shadows........maybe? ....:laugh:

    I've seen two more women.
    So I know for sure there are some.

    They are just hiding, but not for long...

    Ah ok, it is Friday night afterall and I would imagine sensible single peeps are out having a good time, unlike me, who decided to commence drawings about 2 hours ago after wasting the entire day on here!! :laugh:

    You know we're never going to find lovers working late at home on a friday night!! :laugh:

    I've got to price this kitchen and then I'm done. Then I have an 11am appointment in the morning.

    But at least my boss apologised to me today so I'm good :bigsmile:

    Yeah, hopefully I'll find a lover tomorrow night. Or not. I think I'm just too picky... * Forever alone * :sad:

    He's a friend :smile: . I've helped him through more relationship fallout than most of my girlfriends. Conicidentally he looks uncannily like La_Amazona's friend-lover, except 10 years older.

    Aha! Just found this, courtesy of a pointed push from flamfloz :wink: (I can't access the foums at the weekends, or I'd have been here sooner.) Why not - count me in!

    All I need is some money for the plane ride and I'd be there too.. I'd just crash on Flamfloz's couch. (although he doesn't know it yet)
