lookin for the lasses

this goes out to all my single friends (sounds like i'm going to request a song for you all). i know we are all interested in finding that perfect man, so i would like to present you with an option. no, eharmony it is not, but i think it's a close second. we've all dreamed of living in europe with some exotic man (i have to say a uk man would probably be *my* first choice if he was to be european), and i'm almost positive this is our best means of getting him. the "lads" featured on this website live in the small town of alston-moor, and their village is in crisis. yes, ladies you heard it: a genuine homegrown crisis. they are in need of women. apparently, the ratio of men to women is 10:1. does this not sound like a paradise for attractive, intelligent women such as we? here are a few tidbits about the lads in the lovely alston-moor:

1. jonny edgar: "looking for a lass that likes fast cars, fast bikes and fast men like me."
2. butch: "now then, i'm butch and i'm a trucker in fact i'm not just A trucker I am THE trucker. "
3. ben: "i'm a plumber so i have good prospects as well. "
4. patch: "i'm training to be a hairdresser so can offer all you ladies free hair styling and beauty advice."
5. martin: " i have my own car!"

and my favorite...

6. george: "i'm looking for a woman who's a good cook and who doesn't mind a bit of hard work round the house like cutting logs and gardening."

now everybody don't try to go at once. there are plenty of men to go around...

(one word of caution: if you look at the pictures of the town, you could very genuinely be tempted.)
