How did you meet the love of your life?
It was a hot summers day in Melbourne. I walked into JB-HiFi and there she was on the floor by the others, 40 inches of pure 1080p HD gorgeousness. I put my cards on the table and we have been together ever since.

I met my wife in 1991 when she started working at the ITV in London. A couple of years of really obvious flirting later and we finally got together at one of the famous ITV Christmas parties. I was dressed as a cowboy and she was Pocahontas (with pigtails). I kissed her on the Tube (don't be rude people) as we said goodnight and we have been together ever since. Somewhere along way we picked up a couple of quasi-cute emotional/financial leaches too.

I was there 2005-07 for about 18months; I'm guessing you left a while before then?
Hi, I arrived in Colchester in nov 93 and left jul 95. We started out in Marks Tey and then moved into a MQ at Homefield Road close to the Naafi. The MQ had a bath but no shower and the dishwasher had to stand in the middle of the kitchen.. In 02 we moved to Shrivenham and got the same style MQ but they had at least upgraded and there was now room for the dishwasher and there was a proper shower attachment

What he was covered in tatoos, with a goatee beard and a beer belly poking out of his Holden/Ford tee shirt





Only joking

Sort of chat up line cracks me up! I was often renouned for my bluntness.. after snogging my now Hubby for a while in a doorway (class all the way) I told him "im not going to shag you, you know"... (my friends used to cringe when I told a bloke that!) ... OH was the 1st who turned around and said "Im not shagging you either"...

Of course, 13 years later and 2 have large as life children together, I suppose you could say that we have since indulged a little !

How old are you? What do you do? How big is it? (bank balance) - I could be persuaded.

We started chatting on the internet in some yahoo chat room (not dating site!) approx 8 years ago as i was sitting in my home in scotland in the middle of winter bored and was just getting into how to work internet.
It all started as a chat friends sort of thing as we both had boyfriend/girlfriends at the time,it was about 2 years i think before she even e mailed me a photo! We used to chat every few nights and e mail each other when i was away at work..then went onto calling each other every few weeks and i think i told her one night that i thought i was falling in love with her.......
Anyway,to cut the story short...............6 years later i came to Oz on a 1 year WHV and she met me at Melbourne airport (nervous or what!!!i was shittin it!) and took me to philip island for 3 days then we went back to her house.
We got on great and got married 1 year ago and i have never been back to Scotland even to get my belongings yet!! I just came to Oz with a back pack on me back with some shorts/t shirts and a few pairs of jocks!!!
I think its a great story and i love her to bits!
It must of been the most nervous day of my life getting of that plane at Melbourne!!!
Good Story??
