Hands up who has found love through Toytown

I have been effectively single for about five years (excluding one or two shortlived relationshipettes). In part that was because I always thought I'd be temporarily here in Germany. However, in December it was confirmed that I would be here permanently so I set my mind on putting down roots. First was the flat, now sorted. Next was the partner and the plan was to find a German millionaire with the body of a god and sparkling intelligence . . . . (I may or may not have had unrealistic expectations on that score).

But after five months, I hadn't even had a snog.

Then, a little over a month ago, Monkstown organised an LGBT GBV night out. Now I have had a variable experience of TT events, but the GBV nights out are generally quite good fun. That being said, they are hardly one would expect to meet a life partner. In fact, most times the gay men and women are a tiny minority of those attending. On April 30th, it was no different so I happily and convivially quaffed five Helles expecting very little before . . .

. . . suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, an Australian man in a DB uniform turned up and swept me off my feet.

We had a date the very next night and have been together ever since. I appreciate it is early days by most measures but it just feels so right and I am still in shock.

So thank you TT for unexpectedly coming up trumps!

Frm another thread:


congratulations to you both!

Just wondering what a DB uniform is? I can only think of Deutsche Bahn.

Congrats nevertheless.

yes, DB= Deutsche Bahn

but it wasn't "uniform drag" . . . he really works for them

I remember him! I thought you'd known each other for ages! Wow - you really clicked! Congratulations!

Congratulations . I´m really stoked!!!

Congrats to you! There's nothing better than love.

I'm still waiting for this to happen.

is it just me or is anyone else's mind boggling at that particular Ozzyism?

I'm just getting iused to 'packing it" but "stoking" too?

Certainly a number of members practice self love on TT.

Well done Shuggie, go for it! Best of luck!

lovely good for you BTC

She said stoked, not stroked! It can't just be an Ozzyism because we used that term in the barren wastelands of Wyoming. Well, maybe it's a barren wastelands/outback thing...

I wrote that on purpose as you are dating an Aussie . It means "over the moon", happy.

That's a shame. i was quietly amusing myself with the though of a TTM event orgainised by Monkstown where you just happened to end up somewhere where all the punters were in Deutsche Bahn uniform drag. Maybe next time ...

Leather chaps anyone? Suits you sir.

BtC - everyone knows 'stoked'! At least, everyone who watched Neighbours..

maybe it would make things easier/quicker if those few of us who havent shacked up with someone via TT raised our hands...

It's no secret that I found the one person on the planet that can tolerate me love through TT.

It actually sounds like you TTers are an incestuous promiscuous bunch of people. Shouldn't you be spreading the love amongst the locals, you know, in order to infiltrate the Krauts.

indeed it is ER, and the same man was actually partially instrumental along with Monkstown in ensuring that Peter and I finally clinched ;-)

I should point ot that while Peter attended a TT event, he is not actually a TTer himself.

Not guilty but I can think of at least five happy couples who played the TT Lonely Hearts' Club game and won.
@ BtC - When can I meet him? He must be delightful.

he is delightful and I am sure many of you will meet him soon enough. we would have been at the wake the other day but he was on a late shift and I had a work commitment that I couldn't get out of a short notice

Btc I am jealous! I wish you all the best!

Wow, you two have so much in common!

Thanks. Leeza's an incredible person and I'm really lucky.

I am pleased for you. Having a loving wife has been the most important thing in my life, we met at school, married at 20 and it is our ruby wedding next week. I could never have acheived what I have without her love and support. A good relationship make you stronger as individuals. I wish you every success and happiness.

I can Honestly say that he Checked my Ticket before ever met you!!!

Congrats!

that was the spookiest moment yesterday when you were round checking on satellite positions and you said you knew him, including where he lived and what city he came from. My mind was boggling until you both realised you met on a train!

So does g24 need to start selling db uniforms as well now?

I am so happy for you BTC! Hope to meet up with you again and this new... Peter. Nice name, Peter. I actually am quite fond of that name for some strange reason.


Thank you, he's definitely a keeper!

Oh yeah, and "stoked" is also very much surfer-speak for "wildly happy."

As apposed to English English where it tends to be something you do with a fire.

Yes, we're very well suited in that regard.

Well I'm dead jealous.

...but very pleased too - its great news.

I've always thought there should be a little dating section on TT - a bit like they have on Gumtree. I'd love to meet the man of my dreams sometime during this lifetime and seeing as I enjoy TT so much, this would be the perfect place!

Are you putting out?

Awesome does your husband know about this? suspect you should really tell him in between your vasectomy conversations...


Good luck BTC , we were never really meant to be together m8!

There used to be something where you effectively made yourself available and it had your sexual preference on it, buggered if i can remember where to look for it though.

The most important person to love on this planet is yourself.

Looks like TT is turning into a weired version of blind date

People will be asking when to buy a hat next.

hehe

well I just started this thread to say thanks and also, as I have been very out of circulation (as it were) for the last month or more, I just wanted my friends to know that my corpse wasn't being knawed by Alsations or something.

or possibly gnawed on even

Ahhh, that explains the mellowing of BtC posts

Good on you.

gnawed on you say . I thought he was bragging about getting up to high jinks with some funny frenchy chaps.

*goes off and picks mind out of gutter*

I would also credit that same man as well, but it was a facebook event, not TT, so I give FB and OG the credit

bloody pedants

yes gnawed is what I meant

hmmm, maybe. Or maybe there just haven't been many really heated debates recently.
