For my sins, I'm one of the 43% of men who listen to 'womans hour on radio 4' this morning there ws an article about women living on canals alone. One was living somewhere on regents canal, another in leicester, i didn't hear the third as was unloading truck. So there are lone women about on the canal. wonder if the show is on iplayer..

Hey, the base ball cap keeps the sun out of my eyes, I'm so short the visor on the truck doesn't come down far enough.

 

Back on topic, I suggest you hit on young women who long for adventure and are bored by chavs and suits.. Look for mud on their boots when they come into the pub.

My partner recorded the show on a minidisk this morning when I was out - we'll try and find a way of uploading it somewhere if we can figure out how.

 

I was wooed by way of narrowboat. It was THIS boat..... PiratePrincessEx.JPG We had many an (un)romantic evening trying to get shuteye in the boatmans cabin on the bunks, whilst chaos ensued in the rest of the vessel . The top bunk is a piece of broom handle and some canvas which sags in the middle and you spend the night getting kneed in the back by the person in the below bunk.

 

Boating, it's like marmite isn't it?

 

Any luck in uploading he minidisk?

 

 

 

B) And that would also put your goodself in the small percentage bracket of Lorry Driver's who listen to R4......the non-baseball cap contingent I always like to say B)

 

Correct how perceptive

I've been to the pub in wellies many a time. Sadly I'm taken. :rolleyes:

 

I was wooed not by a boat but by the prospect of a boat, and the living in thereof. :)

I have a theory: stop looking. :angry:

 

I'm a great believer that when you're not looking for a partner, and so are busy enjoying your own company and your own independence someone finds you. It's a very attractive quality that.

 

:lol:

 

 

Rubbish!!

 

I stopped looking a year ago and still haven't been found :angry:

First are you sure you want to date.... really sure :lol:

How to date a woman. Be yourself, be fun to be with or funny.

 

Failing that go back to that old tried and tested method of dating as used by our ancestors. Club and drag her back to your cave to cook your T-rex steak. Must have worked we are all around. :lol:

well, you are still looking if you know you haven't found.

 

Being indifferent may work for women because there'll always a man sniffing around whether you're interested or not, but Nige is right, it doesn't work for a man... unless you're rich of course, or fantastically good looking like me! :lol:

or let them think you are filthy rich- simpler, and more effective, and as a bonus, they'll leave of their own acord when they realise there was a misunderstanding...

The cartoon is a little close to the mark in more ways than one. Last time I went clubbing was the age of Techno, I tried alcohol that time, except it always a shock in the morning.
