    LOL Robbie you missed:

    Well, it was either this guy's knowledge of post-modernism, or my in-depth understanding of existentialism, which just sounds like the worst party in the world.

    Only for the onlookers, and more fool them.

    My memories of any and all sex I had in Timaru bear an element of regret.

    I know I can't handle my drink any more when I read "any and all" 3 times before realizing it doesn't say "anal". Time 4 bed.

  • Pass the crisps: UK Election watch,

    >What's this stuff about a bare majority. If the Labour and Liberal Democrats get together they will represent 52% of the vote to the Tories 36%.

    No they don't Logan -- they represent less than half the seats in the House of Commons.

    Actually, they represent both of those things, which is what's fucked about FPP.

    But yeah, people who are passionate about things, and enthuse: Hot.

    It's one of the things I most like about young people. They haven't learned to be all cynical, and still hold out hope that people might give a shit what they reckon.

    You know what I need? Fewer people who know me

    A man who is passionate about something and articulate about sharing that passion is remarkably sexy though.

    Don't ever ask me to talk about algorithm design methodologies then ... I wouldn't want to lead you on.

    Soo, what if the girl is trying to get his attention precisely because of his expertise, and he wont discuss, because he's feeling used.

    Tough one. I've been in this situation many a time. Sometimes "when I'm good and ready" is the only way to avoid a lie.

    Emma, I have to contradict you there. Boring girls to death talking about one's specialty is not the mark of a sensitive man. It is, however, the mark of a genuine man.

    'fuck me, I'm sensitive' guy and 'actually sensitive but also likes the booty' guy need two different headings. Because both of them involve wheatgrass and Foucault, right?

    Yes, I presumed that was what you meant. The two species are not reliably distinguishable pre-shag. There are heuristics, but they abound with false negatives and positives. Database systems (the opinions of others who have shagged the candidate) are technically more reliable, but only for spotting the bad ones. The good ones aren't committed to the training corpus.

    Are we able to in some way distinguish the above guy, who is totally admirable, from the 'fuck me, I'm sensitive' guy, who is totally phony?

    Yup. If he's not sensitive after you fucked, he's a phony. Prior to that, no, there is no reliable test, other than "most men aren't".
