I'm running away - don't ask me anything

[tjwmason]

But it's only for a wee while - so don't start the celebrations yet.

I've got to leave work in a tad under half an hour - and need to get a fair bit done before that, so I'm closing down D.U. to stop temptation.

If you do feel an inexplicable need to ask me anything - I will actually answer, but it's unlikely to be before tomorrow morning.

Have a splendid evening everybody (and afternoon for those in more western time-zons).

1. If you're going someplace fun - can I come along too?

[tjwmason]

3. You'd be more than welcome - but not really fun

Just a boring meeting - though sinking a few pints at the local pub afterwards was fun.

[Bullwinkle925]

25. I'm up for that!!

Thanks for allowing me to 'tag' along.

:toast:

[Tsiyu]

2. Want me to pack you some ham and tuna sandwiches?

and a brownie or two?

[tjwmason]

4. Do tuna and ham work together?

I'm not a great fan of fish so I'll pass on your offer - but I'm most greatful, I'm sure that they'd be far preferable to the cornish pasty I bought at the railway station coming home.

[Tsiyu]

5. No, I meant HAM sammitches

and tuna sammitches in separate baggies. But that pasty sounds far superior...

[tjwmason]

6. Duh - that's what happens posting before coffee

Trust me, they would have been much better. It was just a little stall at the station - essentially tasteless - just needed something to soak up the alcohol...

[Tsiyu]

24. It's all good, brother

and you live in a beautiful place so I have no idea why you would want to run away and give the old folks such a scare. Just remember what happened to Dorothy. ;)

[LastKnight]

7. take me with ya...

i could use a change of pace.

[tjwmason]

8. Just too late

It's the next morning now, I'm back now :(

That said, it's a beautiful day, if you want to hop over to London I'll bunk off work this afternoon and we can find a few good pubs.

[khashka]

9. Per Usual

Mr Mason, what colour underwear are you wearing?

Sorry. I'll go sit in the corner now.....

Khash.

[tjwmason]

11. Per usual

Black.

I have terribly boring tastes - they're not even P.V.C. or leather.

[khashka]

14. Per usual

Hey! Sarahbelle showed me a pic of her in her underwear. (For every straight boy out there - it was a very nice pic!) Whatever happened to that renowned British niceness? Surely you can outdo an American!

Oh wait, it's not renowned British niceness, it's renowned British reserve. My bad. :)

Khash.

[tjwmason]

18. There are no such pictures for me to show you.

There is one of me without underwear, but as I am dressed with other clothes it is hardly salacious.

[khashka]

22. Trust me

The eyebrows are salacious enough :)

And, what, they don't have digital cameras or photobooths in the UK?

Ah well, I shall never see you in your underwear, more's the pity.


Khash.

[tjwmason]

23. In honour of Anne Bancroft

Are you trying to seduce me Mr. Khashka?

[khashka]

26. Seduce you?

Did you just figure that out?

I've stalked you online demanding intimate details of your intimate underthings. I've said you are devastatingly handsome and have eyebrows that make my knees go all wobbly. I've threatened to ravish you repeatedly next time I'm in the UK.

I guess Britons just don't understand subtlety anymore.


Khash.

[tjwmason]

29. I had a few little inklings before

As you say, you were hardly subtle about it.

Nonetheless, I certainly wouldn't show you a picture of me in my underwear without at least something as good from you. Besides, were I to show you such a picture - without doubt you would run out of the room screaming never to speak to me again (a very sad state of affairs to my mind).

[khashka]

30. Really?

>As you say, you were hardly subtle about it.

That is just, well, um , simply rude.


>Nonetheless, I certainly wouldn't show you a picture of me in my underwear without at least something as good from you.

Turnabout is fair play.



>Besides, were I to show you such a picture - without doubt you would run out of the room screaming never to speak to me again (a very sad state of affairs to my mind).


I'm not sure how to take that comment - self-deprecating or self-aggrandizing? Are you saying that you (in your black - see, I'm paying attention! - underwear) are so stunningly hidjus that I would be appalled? Or that you are so stunningly stunning that I'd never get up the nerve to flirt with you again?

I like flirting with you - somehow you always manage to catch me off guard and not say what I expect you to say. Anyway, I love you for your mind and sense of humour (oh yeah and eyebrows). Your body is simply... ok I have to stop at this point. Excuse me.

Khash.

[tjwmason]

31. I'm naturally quite self-deprecating

I'm such a shy and innocent boy - you do realise that? My innocence is now only defended by a wide ocean between us - or so it would appear.

Having seen pictures of you I become even more so - it is rather like a dandelion next to a rose (and though I'm English - I'm certainly not an English-rose).

[khashka]

45. Oh, I know

>I'm such a shy and innocent boy - you do realise that?

It took me forever to get you to tell me what colour underwear you were wearing in the first place back on election day. Sheesh! That was hard work! But worth it :)

And, yeah, the shy/innocent thing works pretty well... :) After all, every man loves a challenge, eh?

Khash.

[khashka]

10. self deleted

oops :)

khash.

[tjwmason]

12. Hugs for the deleted message

:hug:

It sounds like a pretty ghastly business.

[khashka]

13. Yeah sorry

I messed up there. I usually use a Mac and I'm using a PC and nothing works right.

Khash.

[JimmyJazz]

15. I'll miss you terribly, darling!

Can I have a hug before you leave?

[tjwmason]

16. I'm back now

This thread is from yesterday.

But you can always have a hug :hug:

[JimmyJazz]

17. Thank you, Doodle Bug!

I love getting hugs from cute Brits :D

[tjwmason]

19. Shall I find you a cute Brit then?

There should be some around here to hug you.

[JimmyJazz]

20. You KNOW I meant you! I've seen your picture, remember.

[tjwmason]

21. I've seen yours too

Which is why I'm so keen to hug you. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[foo_bar]

32. did Skinner die?

[tjwmason]

33. I jolly well hope not

We'd have to deck the whole of the Lounge in black crepe.

[CubsFan1982]

27. Where, specifically, are you going?

Does it involve a island in Fiji with bikini clad native chicks waving palm fans over you? Cause if it is, can I go too? :P

[tjwmason]

28. 'Fraid not

It was just a quick dash into London for a committee I sit one, then a few drinks in a pub afterwards. The latter part was very enjoyable.

You should know that you're always welcome to join me for a few drinks in a pub - which goes for all of the wonderful people on D.U. - just a pity I couldn't offer you Fijians with palms fronds. :shrug:

[CubsFan1982]

44. If you offer me booze, I'm your pal for life.

:toast:

[progmom]

34. was it good for you?

[tjwmason]

35. Yes

The meeting was mainly boring (with a few bitchy exceptions) - but gossip and drinking with some old friends and a couple of new ones afterwards was jolly jolly.

B.T.W. Are you the old or new progmom - and what is the state of the insurgency?

[progmom]

36. i'm the "old"progmom

no one can tell me who i am now. except that i am a has-been. :cry:

and even you abandoned me.

don't you know i have my O-levels and could colour your world any way you like it? that for your love i would don a jumper and drive a lorry to your flat? don't you? :cry:

[tjwmason]

40. I was torn - in fact I'm still officially on probation

I was slowly brought to my knees by a multiple onslaught from yvrs and sundog - either alone would be so difficult to resist, together my little heart-strings were bound to give in - then when it became a battle for real speling I could do nothing other than carry the Maple Banner.

I promise most solemnly that if you start saying 'eh' at the end of your sentences I will rally to your standard yet again.

[progmom]

42. but i am even more British than yivvers

O-levels, man! I have O-levels!

[tjwmason]

43. They even mean something

By the time I got to that age they'd switched to the dodgy G.C.S.E. things.

Have you got a somewhat questionable patriotic progmom song for me to quote pointlessly in my posts, in a similar manner to "The Maple Leaf Forever"?

[JimmyJazz]

37. are you back, sweetie? 'cause I missed you.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[tjwmason]

38. I've been back for over a whole day now.

Being a total attention whore - I'm glad that I was missed, especially by one so wonderful as yourself. :hug:

[JimmyJazz]

39. I knew you were back, btw - I just wanted to say "hello"

:D If you look up at yesterday's post - you told me you were back.

[tjwmason]

41. Hello right back at ya.

:pals:

I'm a wee bit dense in the short-term memory department, and can never remember what I have said to whom. But I can recall conversations from several years ago practically verbatim (yeah I know I'm a freak).
