Well mines very easy to adopt...basically you just turn up maybe 30 minutes later than the time anyone else initially said then after a while people work this out and so if they want to meet you at 9pm they tell you to meet at 8.30pm and that way you keep your time and they keep their time too...sadly after a while this fails as you realise whats happening and then turn up 30 minutes later than the time they'd hoped for so you then end up being an hour late and then everything goes down hill after that...

*realises she's managed to confuse even herself and is fairly impressed*

A-parent-ly you spel ly well. It is a small whirled aft 'er 'all.

I have a friend with similar timekeeping skills. Eventually the solution turned out to be to make arrangements where it didn't particularly matter when/if the person in question turned up at all. (Usually involving something along the lines of (1) pick a pub, (2) stay there, (3) be pleasantly surprised if the friend made it in before closing time...)

Or if you have been there for most of the day you might not even notice if he turns up at all.

I was turned up just 2 hours late to a party yesterday, personally I think that's quite good for me

Two hours late for yesterdays party would be 26 hours late by my wreckin-in..

*grins*
Please don't confuse me more than normal...there was this random game yesterday and I spent the entire time describing something entirely different to what was on the card as I hadn't focused on it properly

Hmmm I'll rephrase that, I went to a party yesterday and was only two hours late as opposed to my normal many hours

Have ya ever noticed this thread opens (at posting #1) with the words "a derisively handsome stranger.."

Shouldn't that be a 'decisively' handsome stranger?
Isn't derive something else... if ya see what what I'm deriving at.
Or even a 'decidedly' handsome stranger, but that makes even less sense if you decide to think about it.

*grins*
I never actually noticed that...
Hmm...
*thinks carefully*

Strangers in town?

Looks like the place to be

Most of these conversation threads only stay 'on topic' for the first 20 entries or so..
One like this with over 400 postings.. well..
But if you're looking for fun, there's some nice folks here.
And I'm sure a bunch will show up at your homepage soon and offer all sorts of advice and invitations to drink imaginary cyberbeverages and eat..
Or y'might just get grumpy old cynics like me.

Come to think of it a conversation thread for new people to meet each other until they are discovered by the Angels and Gurus and Aces or whatever... yeah - Rose? Look to the left here, we'll start a new thread!

I called it 'The New Road'
Some poet already used 'the path not taken'
Anyway, it's there...

i best get some clean glasses ready then.

*waves*
What was the topic in this thread? I don't think we ever had one to start with...

"a derisively, decisively or decidedly handsome stranger enters.."
See Post #1

Who on earth said that then?

I can't remember..we went off topic y'see

Now there is a surprise!

His name was Latch Deadbolt. His homepage looks deserted. But I left a note. I need to know what he meant by 'derisively handsome stranger'. Surely he meant decisively or decidely.
If he don't show up soon and do some splainin' we might have to run amuk.

You mean we haven't already?
