THIS.

...or me.
I think by default (due to the nature of a one stop catches all type of answer) I can only allow one stab in the dark entry!
If it is this, give it to Richards and I'll just hang around his mouth while he eats it.
Have you guys met before or will you make contact via Grinder?

I've been stalking him a while now. I feel it's been a long enough stalking to comfortably hang at his mouth while he eats the chocolate. I mean, if something was to drop out of his mouth or he did dribble... well, we just have to wait and see how we feel, he seems open to most things.

That’s cute. I’m happy for you. I’m not sure how he feels, but you seem quite content.

Oh totally, that's me though, a very selfish stalker. It's all about me.

I don’t believe I’m overly qualified to comment on the typical mind of a stalker, however I don’t believe a significant percentage of professional stalkers truly care about the welfare of their ‘victim’. I think that’s why the term victim applies but I couldn’t be sure.

The silence from srichards is rather deafening though. This means that he is either enjoying the moment or is processing his application for a banning order as we speak. I think the lack of position gives you some justification for a few more lewd comments.

No, I'm watching him, he's nervously looking about but he's not called the police or even looked up the usual avenues of protection on the Interwebz. As I said, he seems open...

\thread completely derailed.

Is it too late to start some jokes about 'bottom-ends'?

In the interests of my mental state, we should only joke about parts that have a value of £5* or less.

* including VAT.

Makes perfect sense.

First answer locked in, but you can read the thread a wee bit further down titled ‘Seized Crankshaft’.

I’m gonna throw in another. The new starter motor has come loose. Therefore it is hanging/tilted and causing a bad earth point to itself. Also because it is hanging/tilted it has wedged and jammed the flywheel.
