Matchmaker, matchmaker

I've embarked on this project for a laugh but now am having second thoughts & feeling like a meddlesome nutter. Perhaps it is not too late to call the whole thing off as I am still in the initial stages of recruiting other friends & scouring the city for suitable candidates.

Please reassure me that this is not a massively bad idea & regale us all with tales of happy matches.

It is a hilariously bad idea and I applaud it.

Seems a bit pointless when you can go buy a box for 10p. They usually come with a really good puzzle on the back too.

Well I have to say, some friends of mine matched me up with a friend of theirs & we are now very happily living together!!! Ahhhh bliss!!!

That's sort of the point, you see. I'm not doing it in a serious way. It's all about keeping myself entertained. I just hope no one ends up resenting me in the end.

Pete, actually the joke I was expecting was more along the lines of "Begin with a block of wood...".

Sorry, what is the project? I must've missed that bit.

I've been a very good accidental matchmaker in my time. I can claim responsibility for at least two marriages.

Its dud when you do it on purpose. How dare you second guess someone elses happiness.

Find them a find, Miss Laura, catch them a catch.

I've advertantly brought two couples together in marriage, but that's the joy of running discussion lists for you.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 10:05 (twenty-three years ago)

No Sarah, they are not twiglets underneath. That would be mental.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 10:08 (twenty-three years ago)

OK! I still don't like the cut of their gib. Jib?

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 10:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Errgh- which list?

Well, you're mean. ;-) There was the couple in Atlanta on the Oasis list, and then a friend on the Sparks list who flew out for a one-off event back in 1998 or so and met her future husband in line at the in-store meet-and-greet (if I have my facts on that straight).
