In reply to the question in the thread title, it seems a good way for people with a mutual interest in MX5s to chat to each other and maybe even meet up. Unfortunately there are going to be others who regard such a thread as “hugely amusing” for some reason. I’m new to MX5s (in fact haven’t even got mine yet but plan to do so very soon), so I am certainly interested in meeting other like-minded people.
Yes, I find the concept hugely amusing. The details of my private life would make most of you laugh too, which is why it’s private. Can’t you see the amusement value in people trying to chat each other up by publishing everything they say on a public forum? When did chat up lines stop being funny? Also the reason some people are single can at times be plainly obvious from what they say and how they say it (my enormously bitter cynicism, for example, occasionally leaks through on to the forum) and there are endless opportunitities for that to be funny too. How funny would it be if I joined the singles thread, gave details of how I was dumped and then got turned down by everyone? Pretty funny for everyone else I suspect.
Just stick “I’m single” in your signature and other single people will read it, and if they like what you have to say on normal threads, or the things you do, or the size of your house (see - bitter), they can send you a PM or come along to a meeting to say hello in real life.
Start a relationship with a person, don’t start a thread full of desperation and thwarted longing. Although with that said, it’ll be fun for non-combatants to read through, so maybe you should.
Thanks for sharing those thoughts with us Captain M.
I imagine that an hour in your company must be one of life’s joys… not!
Well the forum is based around MX5 topics, it’s not meant to be a lonely hearts message board!

Thanks for illustrating my point about defective personalities being plainly obvious through people’s posts.
Also the eighties called - they want their sentence construction back.
One of you two want to borrow my handbag? I have finished using it in another thread ;o)
Muppet’s right though - PMs are the places to organise dogging and orgies, not public threads!
Not if you want to invite all the lurkers to your dogging party as well…
Just for the record - I totally agree with this:
It was just such a lazy way to put it.
Can we talk about cars now? I like cars, I can drone on for hours about them.
If that’s the sort of filthy talk you want, I suggest you join a car forum - we’ll have none of that smut on here…
