I asked her if she wanted to come home and fly some Falcon 4 or whatever it may have been back then. And she actually did! (and more )

I've never told anyone else of it actually as none of my other friends share my passion for flight simulators and they would harass me for ages for a pick up line like that. But it worked It really sounds like a lie but I can assure you it's not.

I remember making out that I was extremely into knitting machines once, just so I could get into a young ladies pants, I never did though, but I did walk away with a rather splendid turquoise balaclava.

I can't tell you guys how scared I was after she said: "Hi... hi Anvil!"

Almost jumped out of my chair - thought it wasn't a youtube video or something!

I wish you'd stop quoting people on my Ignore list but as you have....

sounds like another of his woolly stories and I expect he still wears that balaclava, every time he sits down at the keyboard.

We are lucky that way my friend.. my mrs often asks "are you going to play with your friends now" when I am off to some online session with the squad... she thinks it's "sweet"
