Dr. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club (What's the worst that can happen?)

[wookiee]

There appears to be a need for an alternative way to meeting people in St. Andrews. To start the ball rolling...

Single, shy, male science student. 21. Tall, brown hair, brown eyes. Would like to meet nice, interesting female. Preferably less hairy than myself.

[Saki]

Hehe, this is a good idea. Here's mine:

Short, sometimes sweet, 22yr old MLitt student, first year in St Andrews, missing old friends from 1st degree but prepared to make new ones. Interesting conversation & sense of the absurd essential.

P.S. Just realised that I forgot to mention being female...

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Just out of interest how is this going to work?

Shall I introduce you all to each other in the Union on Friday night?

[wookiee]

I'm not very good at being sarcastic when I'm writing, but I'll try anyway. Maybe people could email the lonely heart they're interested in. Just an idea, Prophet!

[Emma]

James, I sense a new addition to the Sinner.

By the way, it's Sgt. Pepper's.
Saki, are you looking to meet a latter-day Clovis Sangrail?

[Al]

I think it's a play on words. Combining the album title with the drink. Particularly as the advertising slogan is also used.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Sorry Wookie, I just secretly desire to be a matchmaker.

[wookiee]

That's alright, Prophet. We all suffer from it sometimes!

And yes, it was a play on words. I was being a bit of a smart-arse on the way back from the drinks machine last night...

So you anticipate being naked on national television after a fridge freezer accident?

Your logic is not like our earth logic.

I live my life head first, straight down
Waiting for the day when I hit the ground.
I don't care where, I don't care when
I just hope I'll feel right again.

The worst that could happen?

A psycho, axe wielding bunny boiler. Someone who makes me look well-balanced.

[hr]The philosopher Didactylos has summed up an alternative hypothesis as 'Things just happen. What the hell.'

[rae]

Let's all just meet at a given place and a given time and have a massive meat market. Then if we don't like what's there, we can just pretend that we accidentally stumbled into the pub unknowingly. Just not the Union, okay?

[Pilmour Boy]

I'm (as of today) officially single (long distance relationships suck). So, here goes, 3rd year Economics student, 21, short brown hair, Liquor Snob, think Scottish Beer is pish.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

What's wrong with the Union? I mean there aren't many other places in St. Andrews where you are going to get a decent sized group of people - possibly Gin House would be a viable alternative but the Union is always IMO neutral ground.

[The Kaiser]

What's wrong with the Union? The drink is revolting. Make it the Westport.

[The Kaiser]

Oh, and while I'm here:

2nd year History student, middling height, light-coloured hair, grey-green eyes, also a liquor snob, think all beer is pish.

[The Kaiser]

...but doesn't even want a relationship, and so is wondering why he has posted on this thread at all.

Except to abuse the Union.

[The Kaiser]

Kensington gin, forsooth!

[Gullable Fool]

YOU again. Scottish beer is NOT pish.
I'm not even going to bother to put my description on- despite considering myself single (its more a case of laziness when it comes to dumping people, than attachment to them). And anyway, Scunthorpe will tell you all you need to know.

Scottish beer should only ever exist for one reason, and that is to be turned in to Scotch Whisky.
And Plymouth Gin is very good, and is not a brand, it's a type, like London Dry, and is only made by Coate's & Co. (For a gin to be called "Plymouth", it has to be made using water from a certain brook, and Coate's & Co. own the only access to it.)
