    Just wondering, where did everyone meet their significant other / other half / partner / whatever designation you happen to use?

    I read a study in the metro (Which might as well be made up) which said that 25% meet through work. And something like 40% meet through friends. But I have the impression that a lot of Irish people drunkenly fall on someone and it happens to work out.

    So AH, how have those of you in relationships met your other half?

    I met her in Portugal during the summer of '07. I was hanging out at a hotel bar and bumped into her when was looking for the people she was with. The rest is history.

    Ah lads, these survey questions are getting ridiculous!

    I met her in the boilerhouse when we both took a wrong turn.

    We BOTH took a wrong turn. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :pac:

    I was moving house and was trying to load my van with some furniture. I had recently hurt my arm and it was in a cast. I was doing alright till I got to the couch. Luckily a beautiful woman happened to be walking down the street who was kind enough to help me out. I guess you could say we've never parted since.

    I've known my OH almost since birth actually. Born in the same hospital at roughly the same time. We knew each other all our life, it seemed so obvious but after a couple of failed relationships on both our parts we became exclusive about a year ago. Four fingers and a thumb.

    At a party in Dowth, Big Hello To old friend Carol Smith banoffi conservator! (carol's Party)

    doctor K,
    I knew her twenty minutes literally,
    then I licked her putthy.

    15 years, many many great times, countless rallies, four great sex dvd's, one cottage, one art collection, three horses, two dogs, seven cats, two children, two court appearances and a ****load of animosity piled upon a broken heart later.

    here I am,
    on my own,
    wondering "What The F**K ?

    yes, seriously for once..

    I just remember the RIP thread

    If memory serves, she died on holiday from food poisoning in india or something

    then again it could have been a piss take who knows,
    but Im sure whoever answers that bit will get over 200 thanks the same way the original thread did.
