Blind Date in the Guardian

[DJWrongspeed]

Rule number one: never go out with someone who can't spell his own name.

And says their in "In training" , for what exactly ? certainly not for a successful date.

This is online and you don't get it delivered?

Online. I’m not louche enough to get the Guardian delivered, nor do I get up late enough for this to work.

Does anyone even get a newspaper delivered anymore?

My butler brings mine up every morning, does that count?

I hope you don't let the butler go and fetch it for you, potentially negelecting your needs while they are out.

I have 2.

You can’t deny that it’s odd. There are online sites for singles to approach each other and arrange assignations, these days. Nobody needs to be subjected to this sort of thing any more. Cilla Black is long dead.

Something must be awry in the minds of people who sign up for Grauniad blind dates, and it rules them out as romantic interests for the sane.

I think you miss the key point. Free dinner!

Ms 747 ( the Guardian, fucking obvs being a wankly reformist). I’ve normally read all the articles I want online before the print copy comes, but she buys these vouchers which she says make it cheap. Plus it keeps our paper girl employed.

I quite like blind date and look at it every now and then, it's pretty much harmless fun between 2 consenting adults and no one really takes it seriously do they?

Free dinner and a potential snog? Ooh how awful.

You should see the similar feature in the newspapers so many of the posters on here read/ fail to sell outside pubs on rainy Friday nights…

‘Fave 19th century German anarchist writer’
‘Best anecdote about shunning your previous best friend because they deviated from the line’
‘Did you go on to a policy workshop afterwards’

…

Same. We live next door to this older couple who have run the newsagents round the corner for the last 40 years and we can't bring ourselves to cancel our Saturday order cos that's what everyone else is doing and they're a bit worried. I think they should just call it quits and retire, but they say they'd miss getting up at 5am to sort out the deliveries

But yh, we just use the paper itself to get the fire started, kindling. Blind Date? I'm in the free-grub-chance-of-a-snog-what's-to-lose camp.

Waits eagerly for teuchter to tell us not employing a butler is scabbing

Not as long as the butler is being paid the RLW.

 

[nottsgirl]

A successful first date today.

I haven't got there yet. I thought the Australian one last week was going well but turns out it was rather lukewarm in the end.
This week's should be good, it's valentine's weekend.

Jonathan's answers being ALL CAPS was a really nice touch I thought. Attention to detail.
