Would you be able to carry on an extended erotic correspondence with a filthy-minded forties man on the basis of a one-off coffee in the Long Acre Pret a Manger? You like walking barefoot on cold beaches in the winter, movies that make you cry and baking cookies that you have no intention of eating. I like defending my home against the government forces that are trying to destroy me and knitting carpet samples from fibre remnants found in the back of the dryers at my local launderette. Are we fools to think it could ever work? Moron and amateur carpet sample enthusiast (M, 35). Billie Piper fantasist. You’re Belle de Jour. I’m not Christopher Eccleston in Doctor Who (unless you have glaucoma, in which case I’m 6’2”, very well built, and have a classically handsome nose). Man, 67. The finest mind in the academic world conceived this ad, but it was his secretary who took two and half hours out of her day to collate his angst-ridden ramblings, phone the LRB and pay for it on her own credit card.

S, 51, country-dweller, writer, seeks corespondent (sane, sexy, single) for mutual inspiration, intensity, a-muse-ment, creative comradeship, poetry, literature, psychoanalysis, photography, music, Cohen, Cave, love, life and everything. My profile here boasts the index carding skills of Miss Marple, the sexual ambiguity of Tank Girl and the wardrobe of Cadfael. Kinky junior librarian (F. 34), lurking in the boondocks of XY9802, tripping over re-evaluations of Nick Cave in back issues of Parallax and her own hem line, WLTM nice academic man or woman to 40 unphased by evening wear once described as “Mrs Doyle Does Dallas”. No Linguists. Death by Chocolate, Humiliation by Trifle, Sympathy for the Devilled Kidneys. Son of Knorr offers a tragic-comedy in three courses and five acts. All of them underdone.

Village life in the 60’s, it was incredible you cats, dig, I was often stoned and had angst ridden sex with a number of people. Tedious old bastard with occasional moments of irony, still surprised when this and other such incredible stories of liberation and revolutionary behaviour fail to win the admiration of today’s generation. Turn on, tune in, reconnect network cable. Timothy Leary never had to put up with this shit. Catastrophic failure aiming to be off the grid but ending up with local area connection problems instead, WLTM counter cultural Carrie-Anne Moss willing to help Tron era tit.
