its me an' him. jus nod & smile & ignore us (most people seem 2!)

anyhow, hows ur summer been so far? (wher r u by-the-way?!)

from me

I seem to find myself talking to walls a fair bit, so will that work as a pick-up aid?

hmm....that probly depends on the wall in question. (has it started talking back yet?)
u will have to keep us informed of ur progress i think!

Unfortunately, as of yet I have received no coherant replies from the walls with which I have been conversing. Further research into this area has proved, however, that the chances of making a pick-up are dramatically improved if the wall in question is a solid brick construction. For some as yet unclear reason, plasterboard walls and those of a more flimsy make-up serve more as a repellant than a pick-up aid. Is there some form of wall snobbery at work here? Does the age of the wall come into play? Are wallpapered or painted walls better for this purpose?
I have come to the conclusion that there is a lot more going on here than we first realised, and propose more research into this fascinating subject posthaste.
Incidentally, does the same form of snobbery exist in the tree-talking world? Are oaks or pines more effective in picking up people?

dunno. i got picked up in a field sumwher last yr, i seem 2 rememba some different types of trees round the edge, but not my toaster talkin 2 em... (im dating a toaster u c )
what about graffittid walls? would that depend on the type of graffitti? i s'pose it all boils down to the tupe of person ur tryin 2 pick up. mayb certain trees/walls attract different perople 2 pick up?

good solid walls of the type found in pubs are a sure-fire winner. I tested this theory last night, and not only did someone start talking to me, but I got a pint out of it as well! Bonus!

nice 1!

i did not pick her up in a field, as i wasn't allowed to due 2 her being 16 & me being 19 & a child protection policy being in place, i had a 'discussion' with darren (she knows who he is) about this last week

Um, who? Why? and where? I thought we were discussing the various merits of leering drunkenly at a wall thinking it's an attractive member of the opposite sex?!
Maybe that's just me

she sed i picked her up up in a field, i dint, i picked her up while shouting at my comp (mebe i should av added that bit in order 4 it 2 make sense)

ooh & dont drink 2 much, i had a m8 who thought he was chattin up a male wall & was halfway home wen he sobered up enough 2 realise that infact the wall was female

mistaking the sex of a wall can be dangerous. they get offended easily and can really hurt if they fall on ya

wall dating sounds dangerous, i think i'll give it a miss 4 the time being!

oh, & y a 'discussion' not jus a discussion?!

I prefer those walls with a hole at waist height! Just hope theres no one on the other side of the wall...and that I'm at the front of the wall...But call me old fashioned but I'd have to meet the parent wall first!

Always a good idea to meet the parents first, after all - they have a ceiling to support

silly goldfish...
DIE GOLDFISH!!!! *kills goldfish*
*goldfish die*
oh well.
