Scottish I think. The start of the video was hard for me to understand too!

Hagrid I think. Robbie Coltrane, also Jockinese but not posh Jockinese like Sean Connery 007.

@tomcat - ladies' rooms are for reapplying makeup & gossiping with girlfriends, not for first dates. You oughtta know that, tomcat.

@nev - thnx for the info. Haven't met a Scottish person in my travels. I'd guess if I did, my forehead would be furrowed the whole time he/she was speaking!

@chas - Hagrid didnt have many speaking lines, so I could still follow the story even if I didn't comprehend all that he said.

The bald bloke had a Central Scotland accent, the fat one had a West of Scotland accent.
Neither of these blokes had chav accents, for Scotland they were both well spoken.

When I was in BKK, I used to have movie dates with an Australian co- teacher at a cinema. He was prolly in his 60s. He had nice manners and never showed any romantic interest really, but we created a great friendship bond...... and we would always watch a movie at least once every week. Nice dude.....

He paid, didn't he.

Loads of interesting things to talk about..... People are interesting. The quirks and differences of each and everyone makes it even more so.

Yes, I'd never go to a dinner or formal dinner on a first date.


As for this "reality" show it was cute.

And obviously staged.

The guy that cancelled it stayed and ate.

They show the waitress in the back kitchen and her boss talking.

I like dames, but this guy did not look to good himself.

Reality shows love to have a cantankerous villain.

Yup, he paid for his movie ticket and snacks and I paid for mine. Always been that way.

Anyways, Slick.... what's your point?

^As long as you weren't leading him on without realising it.

I bet he felt fabulous walking around with you.

Fancy a trip to the movies? No pressure, like...

What the problem if he paid for anything?

^^^Did he poke his meat-bone through the bottom of the box of popcorn in his lap and then offer you to grab a handful?

Looper naughty tonight...

My point is that while I would like to believe you about you both paying separate bills, I don't

A lot of women out here are either too fucking dumb to realize that a dude paying their way sends a message of interest, or they are doing it intentionally because, hey, free movie & shit. Add to that fact that flippers are notoriously un-shy about free shit & literally ask for it (free shit I mean).

Lets be frank here, a fucking 60 year old Ozzie going to "the movies" with a flipper in Bangkok.

I know right? Stereotypes suck

Exhibit A:

You have a pretty skewed view about women. I think you're hanging out with the wrong bunch and could use an upgrade.

Sadly, no. 555

It was purely platonic.

I see the second flipper is here also, likely banging away at her device trying to narrative flip like I'm way out of line

Lets see

Edit:

Too late

But she was cool about it

Nah, I moved away from US trailer park girls for their 3rd world equivalent

I think, Katie about sums it really well. Thanks. Was nice of you.

^^sure... just like all guys on TD are muscular, hyperactive sex machines... heh..

I think you've been associating with a different class of woman, slick.

Also, I think you're trolling, so I will agree to disagree. End of.


@GF - you're welcome. Walang anuman. Drop a line if ever you're near Manila.
