Being a geek at heart…

Here is a recent example of just how hopeless I can be with men:

I meet Reece in a bar in the City. He takes my number after we chat for quite a while.

Text comes in the next few days:

Reece: Good fun the other evening. Feeling really special today; working in this condition is just so much fun!
Beautiful but Grumpy: Yes, it was fun. What are you working on?
Reece: Working on the long term cycles of the live cattle futures market just now. Would much rather be doing energy work
BbG: Are you using your own software for that?
Reece: Yes, plus some other wee gizmos that we haven’t programmed yet


The end

He, he. I was genuinly impressed with the fact that he managed to develop his own trading platform. But think I need to move it from geeky talk to something a bit more meaningful... :-D

Hardly the most flirtatious of text messages, but hey its a start.

Poetry & Porno - nice combination if you lose out the first bit. Back in the 1970s Poles and Maltese were pretty heavily involved in the trade, but these days the Ruskies and Czechos are the foreigners that I meet. Don't get me wrong - great people your Ruskies and their girls go like steam engines, but I do miss the old days.

What can I say? I came across you site by accident and here I am going misty eyed at the thought of the 1970s. Listen, let's keep in touch. I am always on the lookout for new talent, so let's recreate the good old days before that prick Gorbachev messed everything up.

My studio is just outside Birmingham. Drop me a line and let's see what we can put together.

Easy money - the best kind!

Oh I see Uncle Nick, it's a test to see if say 'Yes'...

Uncle Nick said...

Er, not quite sure that I follow the line, BbG. Say yes to what? My offer was quite genuine by the way.

Beautiful but Grumpy said...

Don't worry Uncle Nick, I didn't expect you to read my profile.

Uncle Nick said...

Er, actually I did read it, which is even worse - but I didn't make the connection. Sorry love.

Beautiful but Grumpy said...

Well you gave it a shot. Good luck in your search!!!

I'm OK for girls, the problem arises as it always does when you expect them to get out of bed and be on set at a certain time and on a certain day. No, forget that, I would settle for certain day even if three hours late.

I like to charge blokes to come and watch a shoot so it is kind of embarrassing when they are sat there, erections at the ready, and they have nothing to wank over later. What can I say? Bloody women drive me nuts.

Look after yourself, sweetie. My project is due to see the light of day in September. I'll send you a review copy for you to, er, review.
