I love stories like
THIS. Boy sees girl on train. Girl disappears in crowd. Boy sets up website to find girl. Girl comes forward. They meet for dinner. Then go on
Good Morning America. The power of the internet, eh? Have any of you had any similar experiences? My cockles need further warming!
3-0 4-0 5-0 to the Hammers. Lovin' it.
Heartwarming. Have you cracked open a bottle of red by any chance?
ReplyDeleteAnd next week's followup headline
ReplyDelete"Subway Internet Stalker Arrested by Police".
no, I havn't had any similar experiences, but Chris Bryant probably has.

ReplyDeleteDoes Iain Dale pass the "Anal Seepage" test?
ReplyDeleteYes, as it happens he does.
Wrinkled Weasel gets nearly 10,000 hits on Google, but it is not so impressive when measured against "Anal Seepage" which gets 31,000 and "Vaginal Warts" which gets 69,800
Iain gets a massive 374,000 google hits.
I am less important than "anal seepage" according to Google, but Iain is far more important than Anal seepage, vaginal warts and anal bleaching put together. So next time you moaners go on about his self-important rantings, just remember: do YOU pass the Anal Seepage test?
And BTW this is my last post ever. Cheerio, and thanks for the fish.
Iann - I just saw that muppet creep derek draper on strictly come dancing. what a wa**er he is.....
ReplyDeleteat least his bird cant dance
Iain - did you listen to Any Questions? a very bad night for Labour. alan duncan blotted his copybook with his assault on shirley williams at the end but blunkett roundly condemned. we are approaching the need for civil action against this shite government. they are hopelessly corrupt, out of touch and authoritarian.
ReplyDeleteIain,
ReplyDeleteThis is not a story, it's a dream that you've just had.
You've fallen asleep, listening to James Blunt again.
You romantic fool...
and now when you go to the site, you get his own site - which, strangely, sells his web services.
ReplyDeleteViral marketing rules, OK?
No
ReplyDeleteI think there is a bit of a stigma still associated with meeting your future wife or any women on the internet. But then that never stopped some people doing anything.
If it helps.
I think I speak for many by saying.
We love YOU Iain, at least a bit, most of the time.
Come to think about it. You are possibly the most loved political figure in the UK at this time, bar no one that comes to mind right now.
Now if that don't warm your cockles nothing will.
Jonathan Aitken returns to the Party that's good news ...

yes, I have a similar story, iain. please indulge me as i tell it. i was working for a lobbying company in the early 90s, and i was travelling home after a really boring commons transport select committee evidence session which i had been asked to attend by my thatcherite 'dock labour-scheme busting' bosses. on the way home i read the 1994 equivalent of 'london lite', in which my horoscope said "you will meet someone who has travelled a long way and who will prove to you that you can be loved"..."right", i thought, "i bet that's a load of balls" - i was on the tube and i kept my eyes peeled for 'travellers', or indeed anyone who might fit the bill. no-one did. satisfied that i had proved the stars wrong, as i left the tube, i popped into a shop next to the station, and found myself meandering in there for no good reason for 3-4 minutes. i thought to myself "hang on, what on earth am i doing?" - i came to my senses, got a carton of milk, and left. AT THAT PRECISE MOMENT, a girl i knew a little from university literally bumped into me, as she RAN down the road. had i spent 10 seconds more or 10 seconds less in that shop (which i didn't really need to go into), we would have missed each other, and not met up. to cut a long agonising story short, i have spent the last 13 years falling more and more deeply in love with her. we're good friends, but she's the love of my life. anyway...like the guy in nyc, the story isn't quite over yet. but i hope he sorts the whole thing out rather more quickly than i have!
ReplyDeleteHansard Reader- " i hope he sorts the whole thing out rather more quickly than i have!"
ReplyDeleteI hope at some time in your life, and I'm assuming you're an adult, you learn what capital letters are for. Although given what you have to impart, who cares?
Nice yarn Iain, I've linked you with a different tale, but the same odds!
ReplyDeleteSehr gEhrter Iain
ReplyDeleteWell spotted - nochmals vielen Dank for this Post
It makes up for that grosse Schade where the Once and Future Champions were reversed 5-0 by an admittedly meritorious Rival
Alles Gute

Hansard Reader, do we know each other? I worked for the Dock Labour Scheme busters from 1987-1989...
ReplyDeleteHansard reader - great story, best luck for the happiest of endings.
ReplyDeleteVerity - shut up.
I think this is a sweet story - it reminded of the film 'Sliding Doors'.
ReplyDeleteCHANCE is an amazing thing.
I have been on the red wine :)
reminded ME.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we edit?
Hansard Reader - I responded to a wrong poster, possibly on a wrong thread, as I was coasting in a hurry because Iain's site has been wonky all day.
ReplyDeleteYour story was magic and I wanted a happy ending and I'm so glad there was one.
Sincere apologies for the misposting. Please forgive.
